...um, is it just me or do I look like I have a "bulge" in my pants?!?!?!? lololol!
What I'm Wearing
* Bohemian blouse ...alloy.com ...I don't see it on the site though. It's actually got long sleeves with elastic at the bottom so I folded them up and pouffed the top out a little. Also, I'm pretty sure my days of wearing clothes from the "juniors" section is over. I must admit that I love this top ..{also, it was $14.99} but I had to let out the stitches in the front down to the ruffle detail. 1. it was pulling across my chest and did not look good and 2. it shouldn't have been sewn up as high as it was. It looked lame. Like a v-neck that's too short. uh uh.
* Old black tank top under
* Seven for all Mankind jeans ...these jeans are ancient but I still love the cut and fit ...seen here with shoes
* Pour la Victoir nude platform pumps
* Vintage gold chain/shell necklace ...seen here
* Gold danglies from the Farmer's Market
* Marc by Marc Jacobs bag
* Tom Ford "Yvette" gold sunnies
* Hair ...if you follow me on twitter you'd know that yesterday I spent some time at my mom's pool with Morgan {my brother's baby mama} and lucky for me {and my hair} there is a lemon tree in my mom's back yard. I slathered it all over my roots {for the 3rd time now} and laid out in the sun and it really REALLY makes a difference I think {I wasn't in the pool too long but I think the chlorine lightens it a bit too -although it used to turn it majorly green when I was a kid}. It just lightens/highlights it enough to blend with the chemical highlights and possibly give me another month or so before I have to go to the salon and get it done. I'm so lazy when it comes to maintenance. {also note that I've been using lemon to lighten my hair in the summers since forever ...which I'm sure my mom taught me :)}
I have to say {which means I probably shouldn't}, I wasn't feelin' it this morning. I'm really tired today and just thinking about the effort that goes into outfit posting was making me want to just say forget it all together. I think about once a week a get a bad case of the "shames" or a "shame attack" and wonder what the hell I am doing and feel the urge to pull the plug on the whole thing ...this blog I mean. But some strange and perhaps rational {if that makes sense} voice tells me to keep doing it. But I'm tired today. I wish there was a steady balance of confidence in life instead of a crazy roller coaster ride but I guess that would get boring too ...i think my outfits reflect my mood.
*Since today is the last day of June, I'll be choosing {at random} a monthly follower to win a beSmart beGreen eco tote bag later tonight. Twitter followers included as well as google/blogger followers. Check back later tonight ...it could be you :)

I hope you feel better about everything tomorrow :)
Love the outfit!! And you can't pull the plug! It would totally depress me and then I would have no choice but to send you my therapy bills. You don't want to deal with that now, do you? Didn't think so.
It's a Marc Jacobs day :)

Please don't go girl... (ok, I have been forced to listen to too much MJ). Love the blog and the top. Good idea on lowering the V. Have a better day!
Don't leave us Maegan, I look forward to your posts too much!
My husband was really surprised to hear how long it takes me to write a decent post (note: yours are longer/better)... so I would imagine you're worn out. Hopefully you'll get a reboot over the holiday weekend.
I want this shirt! I love it!! ANd - I'm not going to tell you not to stop doing this blog...because I KNOW you WON'T! ; )
You can't tell you're tired... my tired outfits are much more blah!! Think basic tees and jeans and sneaks - I rock the "sporty girl" look all the way on my tired days :) And today is one of them!
Oh and P.S., if you stopped these outfit posts, I might go into anaphelactic (sp??) shock and have to be committed!! LOL :)
i love your shirt! so cute! :)
don't you ever pull the plug! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog! i would miss your fabulous & inspiring outfits and your DIY fashion. i would cry for days. but i know the feeling. it's like another FT job. but just so you know you are truly appreciated and adored.
You are gorgeous! I love the outfit! The jeans looks super cute too! :)
Noooooo don't leave us!
We all feel that way, even when our blogs are for fun. It's the people that get the 5-10 minutes of entertainment that you're here for (and you have many girl). So hopefully that will help you hang on for a little while longer.
You are so creative and inspiring and you're the first fashion/artist/DIY blogger that I can realllllllllly relate to. So, to quote a bad song that gets stuck in your head and might bring a smirk to your face, Please dont' go....Please don't go...I'm begging you to stay hey hey hey
OMG I do the lemon thing too! haha I've been doing it forever! Do you remember "sun in"? lol that stuff had such a bad stench to it!
you look amazing. I know you say you are tired but you are remarkable. Please please please please PLEASE never take your blog down! I seriously wait everyday for you to post. So, please, for the sake of me and ALL your followers dont get rid of THE best blog there is! I can't imagine blog life with you! It just wouldnt seem right.
ohhhhh the Eco tote drawing!! THIS is exciting news!!
you seeeee you do sooo many wonderful things with your blog! I can not even let you begin to think about pulling in the plug! no way!
ok I hope I have begged enough that even the thought will now ever enter your mind again :)
I hope you feel better soon!!
Nooooo you can't stop blogging! Your outfits and hair-dos really inspire so many people! Including me!
:) xx
Keep it up! We all love you and we all question it every now and then. At least I know I do! I gave you an award on my blog. Check it out if you are interested. :)
I love your oufit! I know you post almost everyday, maybe to take a little break and get some inspiration so that you won't quit on us?
Maegan, I totally understand the blah's! I just started reading your blog about a week ago and have been checking it out daily. I love it. You are a rockin' inspiring woman - keep up the great work :)

First of all...love the top. And is that a bulge, or are you just happy to see me? ;-)
I totally get the shame's too when it comes to my blog, and once a week think of shutting it down. Why is that???
Hugs....Summer
Why pull the plug? you should be doing it to enlighten us girls on cool clothing you find etc etc. Nevermind the diy items you do!!!
I've only just found your blog so keep going hehe
Also love the jeans, love the hair and I didn't think that lemon slathering really worked i.e. myth. I shall have to try it!

If you pulled the plug who would inspire me to get out of my pajamas and shower? Everytime you post an outfit I say to myself, "If she can look that together and stunning the least I can do is slip on my flipflops"!
Loving the Bohemian vibe of this look. The shoes are very Marni! I think 977 people would be very disappointed if you stopped blogging, chica!
well for not feelin' it, you sure do look fab!
i know where you are coming from though....hence no outfit posts from me for 2 weeks now
You look fabulous, I love the jeans...I used to try lemon in my hair when I was a rebel teen, and ummm yeah on brown hair not so much.
Don't stop, we LOVE YOU. But I know how you feel-I didn't post today and I feel like a common criminal. We've all been there. :)
I know what you mean about sometimes feeling like you want to 'pull the plug' on the whole blog thing, but don't do it!!! We would miss you too much!
very bohemian, love it!
I totaly dig how you dress! : )
Ur shoes are amazing! & the blouse is so cute.
u look fantastic ;)
Justine
Great outfit and I love the top too.
You better not stop blogging! Or posting your outfits! If it weren't for you I would have NO fashion sense, whatsoever. As it is I have very little fashion sense, but anything I do implement is straight from you. And I am only one of your nearly 1000 followers, so you know you are inspiring to so many.
If you need to take a bloggy break then do it. But don't stop forever!
Love your outfit! Don't pull the plug!! I absolutely love your blog and your fashion sense...I also love reading up on what you are up to :)
I like the outfit! I thought the top was from Ann Taylor!
And you can NEVER pull the plug!
those shoes are crazy-cool! at first i thought they were prada, which did some similar designs recently. anyway, they are so cute!
i used to use lemon juice on my hair too. it's very subtle but works and really brings out the shine.
i hope you keep blogging- yours is fabulous! : )
I have those exact pants - Ginger is the name I think, and I feel like they make me look like i have a "bulge" too! haha. I totally feel you on the blog thing too, just this week Ive felt the urge to just give it up all together, but something keeps me writing.. Im glad something keeps your writing too because your blog is fab! :)
soo stunning...xxx
Please don't stop your blog I look at it almost everyday to see if you have more DIY projects. I just finished the jersey braided belt and the bubble skirt so please keep posting!
-Brittney
i love love love the shoes! and your top is fab too!
Just gotta say I'm jealous that you work somewhere where you can wear such amazing shoes... *sigh*
That top is so freakin cute- love the entire outfit!
Hey Maegan if you don't mind can you post something on your blog about my new giveaway on my blog- I don't have a lot followers yet- so anyway u can help will be greatly appreciated-Take care
Have a lovely 4th of July

i looooooooooooooove your shoes i whant them!!!
girl, don't you dare pull the plug!!! what would i do with my LIFE?!! You are such an inspiration. Then again, you have to do what's best for you... but I hope you stick around for a lot longer. :)
Love the top...very bohemian! :)
Don't listen to that little doubting voice telling you to pull the plug!I don't know what I would do without your so-called "gratuitous" outfit posts. My life would probably be at least 6% lamer.
love your look! and I can totally understand the ups and downs...but I think your blog is fabulous...but maybe not enough for your creativity/ potential/goal...I think you can maybe start a new project and that will fuel the blog and you again.....!! You area so creativity..fashion accessories designer?? Just a crazy thought but I see so much potential!!!
BTW thanks for stopping by and commenting!!!
I love how you are popular enough to know say if you follow me on twitter, lol
do you go shopping every week? this is great!
if you feeling tired you might need a blogging vaccation, everyone does it, i take one every other day.
I recognized that top immediately, as I am mad about Alloy. Anyway, it would never look that good on me, and you were right to tailor it. Your choice of shoes couldn't be more perfect.
I seriously need to go through my wardrobe and see what needs adjusting.
please don't ever pull the plug on your blog.... I'm addicted!! I even went to a garage sale this weekend looking for cool vintage stuff!! LOL and your DIY posts are great too. I look to see what you wear everyday. i live in the middle of nowhere Arkansas and love fashion. I could never get away with wearing some of your stuff here and i love the way you creatively pull together outfits... i like hearing about the art gallery you work at since most peole here don't like or appreciate art... bunch of damn rednecks!! LOL
always do it for yourself first and foremost.
how fun will it be to look back at all you fab outfits one day?
and then do it for us... cause we like it!
Can you please win an award for your fabulous hair?! I know you said lemons helped, but I'm pretty sure it always looks fabulous!
Love, love, love, LOVE that outfit!!!!
FAb outfit! ...your posts always make me wanna go shopping! Uhm...and the bugle, well lets say if it was the real thing you could make a lot of women or men very happy ;)
Bulge? Haha! Never noticed it...
And please PLEASE do not stop blogging! I enjoy reading your posts everyday. And you are too beautiful to be kept hidden. ;)
I think you look fantastic. Great photos. I hope your week has been going well. Cheers!
Maybe Journey can help me out in pumping you up about your blogger self: Don't stop believing, hold on to that feeling!!! I love your blog, and the way you made this top from the junior's department completely your own :~)
Love this top! Can't believe it is from Alloy. I somehow get the catalogue in the mail but have never ordered, the clothing looks a bit cheap but this top doesn't at all!
I love how you can make anything fabulous. That tunic is lovely.
Great boho top! I always do lemon juice dying, i love hte natural honey color i gives me!
XOXOX

thanks Megan! I added you:)! Look forward to following you.
No you are not allowed to stop blogging! Don't feel pressured to look amazing EVERY day. I posted a photo of myself in tracksuit pants yesterday :-)
aww, don't quit on us!
actually, i know what you mean...this whole blogging business can be time-consuming and at times mundane. i deal with it by not feeling pressured to post everyday. i post only when i feel inspired.

Your bohemian blouse from alloy - I have the same blouse! A friend gave it to me (she wears things once then passes them along, the generous girl). I cannot rock the outfit as well as you do however...
Thanks for the lemon juice tip! Did it this weekend with a few drops of EVOO so it wouldn't be so drying. :)
You're lucky I don't know where your house is because I can not be held responsible if I steal your closet.
But...do you get any *work* done at your job? :p
