Happy Thursday! This week has flown by. It's been freaking me out lately how fast time is going. I even googled how to slow down time and it said to be more "aware" of your surroundings. They say that kids are constantly watching what's going on around them and their perception of time is way slower. I tried it. It didn't work. The one thing I did accomplish this week though was touring an apartment I loved and most likely won't get because there is so much interest in it. Boo. Cross your fingers for me, please?
I've been trying to plan outfits ahead of time, so I'm more convinced to actually dress up in the mornings. If I don't set my clothes out, the next morning I'm freezing, tired and cranky I had to leave my warm, cozy bed... so I grab the closest pair of pants and a chunky cardigan. If I have a perfectly folded outfit complete with tights, accessories and shoes... I'm much more likely to look like a human that day. Hehe!
Hm, what else is new! I converted all of my CDs into MP3s this week. I bought a new dress from the mall. I finished laying out the trips we've already taken in my travel book. Next step is to actually go through each individual trip and brainstorm some real content (aka, the challenging part!). I'm almost done getting the new Delightful Dozen girls set up; we just have one more to vote on! And in other news, I'm officially collaborating with ModCloth for the Texas Style Council Conference! I will be a conference correspondent and ambassador for ModCloth... which means I'll be helping them with fun events/contests and will be guest blogging for them about the conference. I'm absolutely thrilled to be working with them (especially Turi) and I can't wait to post more about it!

digging the boots paired with that skirt! love the snow setting, too, friend. :)
i'm in the exact same boat with the outfits! i don't ever feel like planning them out in the morning, not that it even takes that much more time.. lately it's been jeans and a top and that's it. boo!
You look great, I love the idea of wearing boots and long skirts in wintertime!
<3Meghan
you look absolutely beautiful!!! It is so "chill" and it even comforts me in a way...weird LOL
I loveee your blog!!! Did you set it up yourslef? The design is brilliant. I cant wait till I familiarize myself with photoshop so I can make my own codes.
P.S. visit my blog? I'd love that.

Awesome news about the Modcloth gig!!! You're going to do so well. This outfit is also the cutest thing ever and it looks warm with all the snow around.
Good luck with the apartment :)
i love your outfit and you got beautiful pictures
You look so great! I love how you are wearing a dress as a blouse here!
xo!

I love this outfit Tieka! The top is really pretty! I am the same way, I have to plan outfits :)
It sounds like you are keeping busy, but so glad to see a new outfit post! I love the idea of longer hemlines for winter and this maxi skirt is absolutely wonderful! I love how you paired it with the boots. Perfect for the cold weather!

Wow, what a creative way to work that dress! Way to layer a maxi skirt on top of it. Perfect way to work summer dresses into winter outfits! Great post, and lovely photographs as always :) You look gorgeous!

Love the boots! Every time I find a cute pair at the thrift store they're either a size too big or terribly scuffed :( Anyway that outfit looks great and digging the long skirt.

You look flawless and just like.. the picture of youth and health. <3 I'm the same way with the cold. I wake up at 6am for classes in the morning and if I don't have my clothes set out, I grab the sweats and end up feeling unlike myself all day!
ps: The girl above me's name is Amber, too. ;)
I seriously adore this outfit on you! The green maxi skirt stands out so perfectly against the snowy white backdrop. I can't help but pin this look to Pinterest. I just love maxi skirts and their versatility, and I used to be so against them. =)
I hear you! Leaving the warmth of my bed in the winter is killer!
Your hair is looking especially lovely! Bang trim? :)
Aubrey
The color palate for this outfit is my kind of outfit! lol
& it's totally understandable about just being lazy and cranky in the morning to dress up, but i too do the same thing and try and plan ahead.
Cheers
these are sooo great photos!
and I love your outfit!
I'm searching for a beautiful maxi skirt since such a long time, but so far I haven't found the perfect one for me...

Lovely outfit! I'll corss my fingers for you! Good luck!
This looks so great! Love the pics, and your hair. Did you get it cut recently? It looks really good (the ombre is all gone!)

Yay new outfit post! You, the snow, the outfit... ah, all so pretty, pretty. I'm loving all of the pieces in this lovely ensemble - they all work SO beautifully together!
And oh my goodness, yes! Time does seem to be flying by, it's crazy & freaky. Hehe, I loved that you googled it! I've often wondered how to slow it down myself. Also (yay!) congrats on the ModCloth collaboration, sounds incredibly fun and I can't wait to hear more about it. xo V
I lay most of my outfits out the night before I actually wear them. It's a good time to try out new stuff, put it on, see if it works. And then in the morning it's already waiting for me. The only time I don't really do this is if it's a weekend.
awesome skirt, tieka!

It is my theory that the older we get, the faster time becomes because every year is a smaller and smaller fraction of our life as a whole...if that makes any sense. :)
Whoohoo for TxSC! It's still January and I am already super excited. Meeting everyone is going to be a blast. I enjoy your blog so much, I hope I get a chance to meet you while we're there!
I love a long skirt for winter--you look so fabulous here! I hear ya on laying out clothes. When it's cold I end up in cords and a huge sweater most of the time unless I plan ahead :)
i'm right there with you girl! if i don't set out my clothes i won't even bother getting dressed that morning and just stay in my sweatpants.
fingers crossed that you get the apartment of your dreams :)
xo TJ
definitely wearing a zip up hoodie, tigers jaw tee and jeans today because i neglected to even think about an outfit last night. planning is key. especially when the outcome is incredible outfits like yours! that skirt is AMAZING, i can't even. looking great as always, girl.

cute outfit! I've been really in to longer lengths lately. I agree with you too about time flying by lately. In the book I'm reading I recently came across this quote and I think it explains it pretty well:
"“It’s proportional,” Leonard explained. “When you’re five, you’ve only been alive a couple thousand days. But by the time you’re fifty, you’ve lived around twenty thousand days. So a day when you’re five seems longer because it’s a greater percentage of the whole.”"
Simply beautiful.

I love the heart shape cardigan - so cute!
You look awesome. I love all the shades of brown in this outfit. Cute top and boots too!
You look so adorably cold! I love your button nose. :) Good luck with the apartment hunt!
Love the pleated maxi! You've convinced me I need one.

Wonderful pictures !! Love your outfit and especially your skirt :)
Pleats, earth tones, a pretty print, and a gorgeous collar. I'm in love! So lovely, Tieka!
i have been doing the exact same thing lately as its sooo cold when i get up and im normally so sleepy. if i didnt lay everything out including tights and bits and bobs then i would simply wear jeans every day!!
This looks sooo pretty , the pleated maxi is lovely!
Rachel
That skirt is so gorgeous!
Another peterpan collar!!!You really did listen to my feedback. Great work you look stunning lady.Keep it up!
This is so, so pretty Tieka! I love the earthy tones in this outfit and you pull off the longer length perfectly. And yay for you being Modcloth's correspondent! I'm even more excited to follow along now!

Wonderful skirt! X
Super Cute...:) love this fun outfit...:)
Your outfit is so cute, but I get cold just looking at you. I could never live in snow.
Eau de Violet
Haha, oh girl, I sound just like you! Everything has to be planned out for me (style wise) in order for anything to go right!
I absolutely love this outfit on you! Brown has recently turned into one of my favorite colors. It's so warm and rich. And it's the same color as chocolate :) haha!
Good luck on the apartment girl! You guys deserve it!

Tieka,
You have such incredible style! I love how you made this dress slightly edgy with the leather jacket and boots.
