Yeah...I Really Own That: Rory from Wear Abouts

As you probably know, I have a pretty huge blogroll of blogs I check out on the daily. As a blogger, I am constantly lurking the net for new bloggers and styles to obsess over. There are a few bloggers (many of which you have met through my blog), that I have been following since the very beginning. When you check blogs so often and exchange comments back and forth you create bonds over the world wide web and these people become your blogging friends. One of those wonderful ladies who I've been following since the beginning? Miss Rory of Wear Abouts
When I first discovered Rory's blog, I was blown away. This girl is still in high school (senior year!), and ridiculously talented. She's an amazing writer and is always adorably styled. Honestly, I expect this girl to go big places and am so excited to follow her journey through her blog! Rory's style is quirky and cute. She has the perfect way of mixing whimsy and chic that will have you dying to try new and unique combinations that you never would have expected to work. This girl is one of my style icons:) 

With that said, I am so excited to introduce you to the beautiful and talented November Yeah...I Really Own That guest blogger...

Rory from Wear Abouts 
 While there are many specific items I own that may cause my mom, her coworkers, or various other skeptical non-fashion-enlightened old women to judge, I decided to do my own take on the "Yeah I Really Own That" series. I'm not focusing on one piece...rather, I'm focusing on a whole category. 

Crochet.

I own so much crochet that whenever I see crochet at the mall, in any form, I think OMG I WANT THIS....and then I realize...oh wait, I have something pretty much identical. I usually wind up getting it anyway, as you may be able to see from some of the similar shirts I'm showing off in this post. I've got a collection, borderline obsession, with this weird fabric that has holes in it.

And despite my best efforts to offer lots of different outfits in this post, I'd be lying if I told you that this was the most diverse group of crochet pieces I could show you. Because it's not. I've got about at least 5 more crochet-type pieces in some form in my closet--crochet headbands, crochet shoes, a crochet bikini...probably even a tiny crochet vest from my Aeropostale days that I held onto just because I LITERALLY LOVE CROCHET. It's not weird; like I said, it's a collection. That's normal! Normal people collect things! But...maybe by next summer once I've done my annual crochet shopping trip it will be an obsession. Until then, consider me normal, enjoy mycollection and revel with me in the fact that yes, I really do own THAT much crochet.

Thanks for having me Ashley, and Twenties Girl Style readers...check out my blog Wear Abouts if you've got a moment.

The Sunday Spot #6



Sunday Wish List #6

1. / 2. / 3. / 4. / 5. / 6. / 7. / 8.

Each week, I always accumulate a wish list of random online goodies that I am lusting after. It never fails, hence the picture wish list with no rhyme or reason.

Hydro Flask Water Bottle: This summer, one of my besties, Sarah, came to visit. She had recently purchased the Hydro Flask Insulated Stainless Steel water bottle and WOULD NOT SHUT UP about how great it was! She went on and on and on and while I was impressed with the ability this water bottle had of keeping ice (Over 24 hours), I didn't really think anything of it...I mean it was just a water bottle! While teaching, I've been super thirsty and really irritated with how quickly my ice has been melting. There is nothing worse than drinking warm, ice melted,water.  I decided to look into getting one of these water bottles...and now I am obsessed. Sarah was right! Not only is it sweat proof (ie there isn't water droplets dripping down the sides of it all day), but it keeps ice for A LONG time! I've had ice still in mine for almost 48 hours. It's crazy. I know, you are probably thinking I'm crazy for getting this excited about a water bottle, but really guys. Totally worth it and one of my best purchases ever. Thanks Sar

Folktale

Leggings: Target 'Mossimo Full Length Legging' (MY FAVORITES!)
Socks: Target










Nothing beats a super cozy sweater. Scratch that. Nothing beats this cozy sweater. When I saw it at Forever 21, I knew it had to be mine. The fringe, the pattern, the name (Folk Girl Fringed)...I automatically envisioned about a bajillion different outfit combos revolving around this sweater, but that all came crashing down when they only had two left..in XL. Desperate times call for desperate measures, so of course I tried it on, and even considered buying it despite the blanket cocooned like appearance it gave me. My mom quickly talked me out of it, but I kept circling the same part of the store, hoping I had missed it by some chance. With no luck, I headed to the dressing room to try on the two other items I had picked up that were now far less appealing. Walking into the dressing room, a tiny bit of maroon and brown coziness caught my eye from the try on castoff rack and I practically lunged to see if it was my size. Sure enough, perfect size, perfect fit = one happy girl. Folk tale? Nah...true story.

One day this week (I've worn it at least every other day since I got it...), I paired it with a chambray button down, leggings, chunky socks and wedge booties. A story that most definitely ends in a happy ever after<3 nbsp="" p="">
