Daily Outfit: (T)high Class


I finally knocked something else off my 21 Goals list - styling thigh high socks in an outfit! The verdict? I love them and now I want them in a million colors. These are from Sock It To Me, and are designed to be slouchy, which I think is cute, but they also stretch up to mid-thigh if desired.

I wore this outfit to give a presentation in class. I got the dress at Buffalo Exchange recently for not much at all, since the zipper was coming off of it, but I stitched it up and it's good as new. I feel like the more I say I don't like navy, the more pieces I add to my wardrobe.

Honestly, this outfit is a little out of my comfort zone. I assumed the first time I wore socks, I'd err on the side of caution and wear mostly neutrals, but not so! I loved pulling out these heels to match the splashes of red in the print, too.

Lately, my life has been devoted to grad school, but I've got some fun posts I'm working on, including a DIY flower crown tutorial. I also am working on a few behind-the-scenes things, so keep an eye out for layout changes (and a few secrets)!

21 Goals for my 21st Year

September 1st (yesterday) was my birthday, and one of my last "iconic" birthdays for a while. With so many changes in my life lately -- graduating with my Bachelor's, moving to Austin, beginning my MBA with my cohort, to name a few -- this year already feels significant.

I didn't originate the idea of accomplishing goals by your next birthday, but it's an idea I've always loved. All of these are totally new things for me -- stuff that I've never tried but wanted to, or things I feel I should experience. No matter how big or how small, here are all the new things I want to try for my 21st year.

Red Velvet Cupcakes

  1. Perfect a vegan cupcake recipe.
  2. Go to a roller derby bout.
  3. Go to all the stores on the Vintage Around Town guide.
  4. Meditate every day for a week.
  5. Do an activity on Lady Bird Lake.
  6. Learn to do a handstand.
  7. Make a light box for photography.
  8. Start a garden.
  9. Volunteer with a local organization for at least one day.
  10. Take a self-defense class.
  11. Deactivate Facebook for a week.
  12. Make mochi.
  13. Watch all the classic Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe movies.
  14. Send a card for someone's birthday, anniversary, or other event.
  15. Go for a walk or run on The Trail.
  16. Complete my Princess Yue costume.
  17. Learn to do a Victory Roll hairstyle.
  18. Paint my bicycle.
  19. Style knee-high or thigh-high socks in an outfit.
  20. Eat an all-raw meal.
  21. Watch Star Trek (TV series).
Like I said, some silly, some more serious, but all things I'd love to try!
