Stripes and Chiffon







I just made it back from Arizona, and shit, man, I'm tired. We took the red-eye from Phoenix to Minneapolis this morning, and it was probably the worst flight I've ever been on. No sleep. Nausea. Delirium. Old fat guy taking up way more than his designated seat. Hate. But oh well. We made it back, safe and sound, and that's all that matters.

I've still got a lot of pictures left to post from my trip, so expect to see lots mo' sunshine here for the next week or so. Speaking of pictures: if some of the photos on this blog aren't showing up, I apologize. I upload some to my Photobucket account and some to my photography portfolio website, and apparently the server my portfolio is hosted on experiences lots of downtime. I'm looking to change hosts, so if anyone knows of some kick ass web hosting companies, holla at me.

I'm going to go take a nap now. I've been up far too long and am at that weird stage of tired. You know, the one where you slur your speech and stumble around like a drunkard. Not pleasant. It took me about five minutes to spit out: "You, you know coffee? Coffee, yeah. So coffee has more....coffee has more caffeine than espresso. Did you know that? ...Not many people do," this morning to my boyfriend.

Crop top: Buffalo Exchange
Skirt: Urban Outfitters
Necklace: Grandma's
Shoes: Steven Madden

  1. Gorgeous!! I can't wait to see the rest of your vacation photos :D

    As for hosting, I use MediaTemple.net's grid server for my sites...its a little expensive at $20 per month but very good (if you decide to use it say meganbarrow.com was your referrer and we'll each get a month free...not right away though, i think its after like 6 months or something haha)

    and I agree...Vogue US isn't as good as the others XD

    Wise words about coffee - not many people know that!
    Love the skirt! :)

  10. Ugh flights. A friend who was staying had to leave at midnight yesterday for a 7 am flight (bad trains), and I was really happy not to be that person for once. Anyway, looking forward to your other Arizona pictures, and the chiffon skirt+crop top look is awesome!

  19. You rock the cropped top- I need to build up some serious stomach muscles before I'm confident enough to pull it off! I love the colourful necklace- hope you are rested now!

  20. Such a fabulous edgy-yet-ethereal look. I was all kinds of hallucinatory tired this week, so I hear ya. Just catching up on your fab Arizona pics now!

  22. Looking good :-)) Really, you have a way to pose that I find absolutely stunning! I'm wondering if I could rock a similar skirt *hm* When I wear a shirt of that color, it makes me look naked! But another cute blogger posted an outfit with a similar skirt & it looked gorgeous on her. Now that I see that it looks gorgeous on you, too, I'm wondering if I should hunt such a skirt down when I get the chance to.

    Plus I'm so happy I found someone else who's afraid of escalators, too! *yay* I prefer to have someone I know in front & behind me, so that I'm in a kind of "safe sandwich" *lol* But I can't always take 2 persons with me just in case I need them for an escalator ride *gg*

    Hope you'll sleep long & good & wake up totally relaxed & energetic! xo

  23. Love your outfit, the skirt looks amazing! And I know exactly what you mean about 'that tired state,' sounds like a good trip though! x

    ReplyDelete
  24. Chiffon and stripes- two of my favorite things! And combined with your lovely red-headedness, even better.
    I hope you feel better! Being that tired is always so dreadful, any little thing ends up feeling like the hugest task.

  25. that skirt is fantastic! love that you paired it with that striped top and that colorful necklace!

  27. Hope you got enough sleep so you feeling rested. I know the feeling all too well. Love this longer length skirt on you.

    ReplyDelete
  28. You look so pretty. I really love that skirt. And you are rock'n that half shirt, girl. Woo Woo.

    I just woke up from a nap and all I want to do is a second nap.

    Glad you made it home safe. I'm not a fan of the red-eye. I can't sleep on planes so I arrive where I'm going cranky and sleep deprived. We leave for AZ on Wednesday. The weather forecast says temps from 87-90 until Saturday where temps fall to 75?? WTF? I want 90 or bust. I'm so demanding with me heat.

    xoxo,

  34. You look so beautiful in that outfit! I loved the crop top and skirt combination. Its deinitely going in my have-to-try-for-spring/summer looks. Is your grandmas necklace a DIY or something? Because it looks so pretty.
    I'm really glad I found your blog. Its not every day when you get to find a fellow blogger who has her feet on the ground. I mean your bio really speaks out. (Yes. I do spend time reading others bios). I like how you say you're a realist. I've been wanting to hear that from someone else for days now. Needless to say, I'm following your blog on bloglovin.
    Looking forward to more great realist posts :) Can't wait...

  35. Amazing outfit! I love that skirt and how flowy it looks in your photos! I totally understand the slurred speech due to tiredness thing, kind of experiencing it now!
    Have a great day :)

    Ugh, there is no in between for flights, they are either good or completely miserable. Glad you made it back alright!
    I use flickr because it never gives me any problems. Its worth the 24$ a year.
