Organization

Skirt? Allen Schwartz, Winners Top? Gap (here) Tights? Hue (these are so comfy)
Necklaces? Antique market (got them both for $8) Boots? Charles David, thrifted

I wish I could tell you that I am looking towards the right in every picture because there was something awesome to see out of the frame. Maybe there was a cat parade or a Bath and Body Works truck that crashed into a pole (no one sustained injuries) and spilled lip-gloss all over the road... Sadly, there was just an empty alley. I think I turned to the side every time because I was inwardly rather proud of the hair style which I worked out of my unwashed-for-days hair. I was probably inspired by something I saw on Pinterest and thought 'I can do that'. Usually my problem with Pinterest is that, I see things and think 'I can do that', and then I don't do...that. Because I am lazy and because an awesome mirrored back splash is apparently not practical and hard to clean. So now, Pinterest has basically become an organizational tool for everything I don't accomplish. But at least my unaccomplishments are organized and that is more than I can say for my front hall closet.

I'd say your pride in this new hairstyle is totally justifiable - it looks great! Although a cat parade would be kind of awesome.

Hey There Carole! said...

I truly understand the Pinterest thing. I think I'm a do'er and really I should just let those that can do IT.

Alison at Wardrobe Oxygen said...

That's what Pinterest is to me as well. Dreams, to-dos, but nothing accomplished. Someone pinned a quote that Pinterest is like fantasy football and I fully agree.

BTW the hair is awesome and I adore that skirt!

Amazing. You have accomplished something I will now be pinning...to not accomplish. It's a circle, you see.

Your outfit is fabulous, I am especially loving the skirt! I would definitely wear that as a dress-up outfit, but the way you paired it with your chambray shirt looks perfect. I just happened upon your blog and I think it is great, I love your stylish outfits and I look forward to going through more of your fashions. So happy I found your site. Hope you're having a wonderful week!!
Toodles,

If I could figure out how to do my hair like that, I'd totally be all pomp and circumstance about it :)

hannahstiff said...

The messy bun and little braid is the look I rock almost everyday! Love that skirt, I've got pants like it. Maybe the skirt is cuter.

Love the hair do! I love dirty hair fixes--that and dry shampoo are a girl's best friends.

GFS said...

Awww yay! Someone else addicted to Pinterest! We are sisters. I can tell. Pinterest just confirmed it.

I've gotta find you on there...or do I follow you already? I don't know...I'm usually on a pinning frenzy and loyalty to "family" becomes secondary.

At any rate....this outfit what I would call WWJD?

"What Would Jenna (Lyons) Do" Because I'm obsessed with J. Crew and their creative stylist Jenna Lyons. I even have a PinBoard dedicated to her.

But now, I will change it. It is now officially called "What Would JENTINE Do?"

See, I am loyal after all!

P.S...I worship you. #thatisall

GFS said...

P.S...I almost overlooked this post because of the title, "Organization"

I thought you were getting all Hollywood meets Canada meets Martha Stewart on me.

Glad that I overcame my fear of being organized or I would have missed this epic outfit!

linaya said...

You summed up Pinterest perfectly, "Pinterest has basically become an organizational tool for everything I don't accomplish." Love your outfit!

Lindsey A. Turner said...

Great outfit! I love pairing denim shirts with fancier pieces like this! You look great!

I see these pictures and I say the exact same thing to you that I say to my cat Radio Flyer: "um, could you get a little cuter please? no. no you could not. there is no way that you could possibly be any cuter." the end.

Linda said...

those boots are amazing!

I love your hairstyle. And I would like to know how you possibly go several days without washing your hair, because I would very much like to do that too, but I can't skip a day without breaking out all over. Not washing my hair every day would do wonders for my mornings.
