STYLE: OOTD Blue Studded Vest

I'm baaaaack! Sorry for the unintended break around here - I've been busy looking for a place to live and moving unexpectedly (long, horrible story), but we're finally settled in and I'm finally ready to get back to some normal habits, like this here blog. Lucky you, right?!

Just to dip my toe back into the Neon Rattail universe, here's a simple Outfit of the Day post taken a couple months back and lost in the twists and turns of my hard drive before being unearthed during a recent marathon organizational session.
I snatched up this vest from the Dots clearance rack last summer, where it was hanging all alone with its measly $5 price tag. Yes, $5. I'd almost purchased it previously at full price because, while I can do a lot of things successfully, resisting bright blues and moto-style clothing are usually not among them. I originally passed on it because I thought it was slightly overpriced for what it is (I'm sure it's made of, like, plastic and old paint chips or something), but at five bucks I was ready to play ball. Plus, I had a bunch of studs laying around (ebay is the best for bags of cheap studs!) that I used to quickly upgrade this vest.

What have you been up to in my absence, babes? Have you ever done any DIY studding? How much do you LOVE clearance racks at already-cheap stores?

STYLE: OOTD, Pants Edition

Sometimes I wear pants...sometimes. 
Although, I'm questioning why I chose the first day of summer (also the middle of a heat wave) to do so.


It looks like little kids painted all over my shirt - I love it!

I got these Moccasins for $10.00!

Nail polish is Mint Sorbet by Sally Hansen

It's fun to play in Pants Land for a little while, but I'm looking forward to more skirts, dresses and everything summer!

STYLE: OOTD

I am a houndstooth junkie. - it’s one pattern I really don't mind falling into. I’ve always been drawn to it and over the years I’ve accidentally built a pretty hefty houndstooth collection. I think if I wanted to I could dress in head-to-toe houndstooth (dare me?), as I have sweaters, shirts, heels, bags, necklaces, belts, headbands and more in my beloved graphic pattern. There’s just something about it; part studious British undergrad, part bold Mod, this pattern is timeless, cool and works for literally everyone.
I thrifted this houndstooth cardigan from Savers for around $4.00 last summer and now that there’s a definite chill in the air I finally get to wear it! Paired with a simple, super comfy jersey knit dress that I may or may not own in 7 DIFFERENT COLORS (hint: the answer is ‘may’) I’m in heaven.

I've been wearing this lipstick a lot that I got as a gift from my Nana! 
It's her shade and I can see why. Love That Pink by Revlon.

Also can I just say that grown up pigtails are the best? Yes, I suppose I can. Low and behind the ears with a little teasing is fast becoming one of my go-to looks as my hair grows out and I couldn’t be happier about it. Hannah posted a great how-to on this look over at xojane.

Dress: Target
Cardigan: Thrifted
Tank top: Old Navy
Leggings: Target
Boots: Rampage
Silver Bangles: Forever 21
Yellow Bangle: Vintage

Do you like pigtails on adults or is it a little too ‘creepy uncle’ feeling for you? Also, please tell me you own a single item of clothing in multiple colors so I feel slightly less crazy…

xoxo,
Michelle
