Twerkyday

Greetings! I hope everyone is having a wonderfully annoying holiday time! I say that because relatives. If you're as #blessed as I am and have this entire week off from school, at this point you may be a little tired of Netflix and ice cream (I'm not I just forced myself off the couch). What I'm trying to say is I was bored today so I decided to create a few outfit ideas for Thanksgiving or a "Friendsgiving" or just a fall party. You are welcome to hate on them or love on them or continue unaffected in your leggings and big tee(I am). Here it goes!

Free People Top
Ya! Fur Vest
Random Booties
I call this one "Thanksgiving Music Fest" because, where else would I wear fringe booties with a white fur vest? If only thanksgiving dinner had different bands to play during different courses...

Forever21 Vest
Sweater from Urban Outfitters
this leather skirt is from a random boutique..
I call this one, "I'd never actually wear this to Thanksgiving dinner, I just like to pretend I live on the Upper East Side of Manhattan." Yeah.... that one is self-explanatory.

JC Penny's Sweater
Topshop Skirt
Arturo Chiang Boots
This one is called "Hey, I might actually wear this to Thanksgiving dinner." It's a skirt/sweater combo without being too dressy, uses fall colors and plaid, and it's surprisingly comfortable.
 
Hope you can take something from these ootd's this Thanksgivin' season! Remember to follow me on Instagram @outfitofthedaybymaggie and to have a happy holiday season!
 
Love,
Maggie


Swimming Pool Glimmering Darling

 
Old Navy Sweater
Charlotte Russe Denim Vest
Random Dress(skirt)
Michael Kors Loafers

Every year, at the same time, something extraordinary happens. For most people, this occurrence is normal. For me, weird things happen. This odd event, the most randomest thing I could participate in, is, in fact, swim team. Now, if you don't know me personally, you're probably thinking, so what? People do sports. No. Not me. I don't "do" sports. Think about Mia in the Disney classic, Princess Diaries, when she's trying to play baseball in order to pass gym and hits the coach in the face. Yeah multiple that by 1000 and you have me. I don't have any coordination whatsoever when it comes to using a bat or ball of any sorts. I can't throw. I can't catch. The list goes on. Bottom line is- the world should be very thankful that I love fashion and not soccer. The other bottom line is- it's rather a big deal that I participate in swim team. Now, why am I telling you this? Well, I'm not really sure exactly. I guess I am explaining the backdrop of this photo, the aquatic center, which I do love dearly. So yeah. I guess the moral of the story is, if you're really unathletic, swimming is a great exercise to participate in because you won't accidently hit someone in the eye. Thanks for reading.

Oh yeah, my outfit. So the first layer is the black and white floral dress, which you see at the bottom. I layered a mustard yellow sweater on top with a denim vest and an infinity scarf. I put on tights because it's rather chilly and, finally, I contrasted the yellow sweater with my red-orange loafers. If you're afraid to mix red and yellow because you're afraid you'll look like Ronald Mcdonald, try pairing the colors with something black and white, or denim, or both.

Tbh....

 
Forever21 Sweater
Cynthia Rowley Top (underneath sweater)
Leather leggings
Arturo Chiang Boots
Kate Spade Bag 
 
If I told you where the contents of this outfit came from, you probably would give me a very concerned stare, then probably walk away confused. But I'm going to tell you guys anyway. And, at least my boots and purse are normal, so keep that in mind. Okay so here it goes.  This sweater is my mom's, the top that is under it and the necklace are from a consignment store, and.............wait for it............. my "leather leggings" actually belong to my sister's pre-teen Halloween costume (probably around 2001 js...) as Sandy from Grease.....Okay. I said it. Feel free to never read this blog again. But I really need leather looking leggings and there's no since in paying $50+ for them. But whatever. This is what I wore. Take it or leave it?
peace, love, don't judge me,
maggie

Good Morning, Good Morning!

 
American Eagle Chambray Shirt
Dress from BP Nordstrom
Arturo Chiang boots
 
This outfit was the result of being awaken to a shining sun and warm weather-on a Monday. I could not bear to go with my originally planned oversized sweater outfit, so I threw this classic outfit together with a striped dress and an opened chambray shirt over it. Moments like these are important to take advantage of. It's important to dress happily on a happy day! Much Love!

London Chic

Top from Fab'rik
Jeans
Baker's brand boots
Random Infinity Scarf

Okay, in case you guys haven't noticed yet, I am obsessed with New York. It's my number 1. However, my other semi-known city obsessed is, in fact, London, England...and it's not just because of the accents! (okay maybe a little bit). But still, I really like London and I really hope to go there soon. Meanwhile, I'll be sporting telephone booth tees or sipping tea in telephone booths or something like that.
xoxo,
Maggie

Wanna Be On Top(shop)?

Topshop Sweater
leggings
Arturo Chiang Boots
Kate Spade Bag
Vintage Sunglasses
 
I know it's difficult to see in this picture, but this sweater is an icy blue with fuzzy, sheep-like qualities. I. Am. Obsessed. The color is perfection. The shape is perfection. And... IT'S SO COMFY! I can already predict I will be wearing this quite often this winter. Hope you guys don't mind.

p.s. i'm not at a local middle school in this picture.... or am I????

Casual

 
Gap Sweater
Gap Cardigan
Leggings
Arturo Chiang Boots
Kate Spade Bag
Not sure what brand this necklace is..
 
Hi all! This is a super casual, comfortable Monday outfit. I took a sweater in which I usually wear with legging and uggs and an infinity scarf. However, I wore it today with a nice statement necklace and nicer boots(which I wear like everyday oops) and I actually did my hair.... Anyway, it's always a good idea when you want to be comfortable to take an old sweater and dress it up!
love,
Maggie

"I'm A Little Drunk on Shoes, and High On Fashion Trends"

Zara Top
Urban Outfitters Dress
Tights
Arturo Chiang Boots
Kate Spade Bag
Vintage Sunnies
 
TU GUYS!!! TU!! So turnt up on fashion!!!!!! LOLZ!
 
But really,
sometimes I get really crazy with my outfits.
 
Like today. I wore a collared emerald dress underneath a graphic tee. Because it was so short, I wore black tights and, OF COURSE, my short brown boots. What else would you expect? Needless to say, I felt pretty cool in the outfit. Maybe it was because I thought I was the girl on my graphic tee, but I'm a lot less chic and my top knot is very lopsided. But whatever. I had fun wearing this and you guys should always try trying out different, weird, fun, interesting kind of outfits! It definitely makes your day a lot more different, weird, fun, AND interesting!

What Am I Suppose To Dress Like When I Change My Mind Every 0.07 Seconds?

Old Navy Sweater
Leggings
Arturo Chiang Boots
 
So, if you're reading this, you are most likely a teenage girl in high or middle school (if you're not I still love you anyway) and, because you are a teenage girl in the midst of some of the worst/best years of your life, you most likely change you mind about anything and everything 24/7. I get it. I understand when you want to throw yourself out a window one minute and the next minute want to dance to Hannah Montana throwbacks. So, when you're always feeling pretty strange all the time, how can you channel that in your outfit choices? When I know I'm never going to make up my mind on an outfit, I try to pick out the most basic outfit possible. This is one of those outfits. It's a simple oversized sweater over leggings with an infinity scarf and tall boots. It's pretty hard to hate this outfit because it's so simple and comfortable, so it works well with weird decision makers.
If you're an emotionally stable teenager, please disregard everything I just said.

Classic

Forever21 Leather Jacket
H&M Top
Lauren Conrad Jeans
Arturo Chiang Boots
 
This outfit is super classic. Striped top, dark colored jeans, boots, and a leather jacket-basically the epitome of fall. This is a super easy outfit to wear when you want to dress up, but not be "too dressed up,"................if that makes sense. Lol?
Love,
Maggie

lAYYYEEEring

 
Patagonia Vest
Urban Outfitters Scarf
Random Sweater
 
SO guys. It's getting colder... which means more LAYERING! Or as I like to say with emphasis on the "AYE," lAYEring. Layering is very important to the winter season. It's kind of necessary for survival and all, so why not make it cute? (I think that's becoming my philosophy for everything). Today, for example, I started out with a simple grey oversized sweater and leggings. I grabbed a multicolored scarf, then found my vest that matches it. On the feet are just simple boots with high socks. I think I wear those everyday in the winter. But guys, layering doesn't have to be hard. It also does not have to match as much as this one did. Literally you can just throw stuff on top of one another. As long as you wear it confidently, you'll look good. Layering is easy. You just have to start with something and follow it where it takes you. (whoa just got too cheesy srry)
love,
Maggie
 

Light Blue

Lost Top
Scarf from Madewell
H&M Jeans
 
HELLO READERS. Happy day. I hope you are all doing swell. Today I was feeling mighty colorful....again... per usual.....it's common.....sorry. I wore light blue jeans with a black top. I layered a lavender scarf and short boots atop and came out with this. I like it. Hopefully you do too.
love,
maggie

MARKET

 
So I recently had the opportunity to attend America's Mart in Atlanta with my co-worker and my lovely boss and owner of Vignette's. Needless to say, it was the experience of a lifetime. I was able to witness firsthand what goes into the process of "buying." I got to see spring samples before spring and even got to try many of them on!(there are NO mirrors in this place, so we needed a model). We spent three days searching for our spring looks, attending line presentations, fashion shows, and digging through racks on our own. I wish I could like marry the mart or like live there or something perfect like that. I had the absolute best time- three days was not nearly enough! I am very thankful for the opportunity and happy I could experience it! Now here are some pretty cool pics!
 
 
 
 
Day 1: Me with my PSF, guess I'm an Insider now!

Yeah this is only one of the buildings...

Esley fashion show!

The apparel building has 13 floors of perfection

The fashion show stage!

Me, chillin in my camo pants.

ATL BBY!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!

MIX THOSE PATTERNS

Top and Skirt both Forever21
 
The easiest way to mix patterns is using black and white stripes with colorful florals. I wore just that and put a scarf and boots over it. If it was any colder, I could have throw an army jacket on top as well. If you are wanting to try out mixing patterns, I definitely recommend starting out with stripes and floral! Have fun!
love,
maggie

Seeing Double

Top from Nordstrom
Urban Outfitters sweater
Gap Jeans
 
So hi. Today I kinda went craZy on the colors. I basically started out with the floral top and matched the blue with blue pants and the yellow with a yellow sweater. A lot easier than it looks right? Next time you're looking to mix things up, try starting with a multicolored top and layering over it.

Plaid shirt, Pale Face

Thrifted Top
Thrifted Boots
 
Hiiiiiii so today I am wearing a simple oversized plaid shirt with skinny jeans and tall brown boots. This outfit is the epitome of fall and everyone knows it and it's kind of basic but I don't care because it's comfortable. That's all.
