Sneaky Peaks

Photos by Jerica Reddig

A sneak peak of photos from last week's dance. Because my school is cheesy and actually has dances in college. But I cannot complain; I'm all for opportunities to dress up all fancy-like. More photos soon!

Inside Out Underneath

Dress: Old Navy [$3]

Cardigan (underneath): Urban Outfitters [a gift]

Tights: sample sale [$2]

Boots: Costco [a gift]

Sorry for the absence of activity on this here blog lately, I've been writing papers and planning a large dinner of sorts. But here's some pictures nonetheless! I haven't taken photos lately because I've been sick and sluggish, but that'll change shortly! I apologize for the slightly terrifying face in the photo below too. Scary. I shall reiterate and say once more that a figure skater silhouette dress is the most flattering cut for any body type. Seriously, it's universally awesome for everyone. This one's great because it's a thicker knit fabric and lends a bit of heaviness to hold its shape. And because I think cardigans on top of dresses oftentimes take away from the outfit and aren't too flattering, I put my cardigan underneath my dress. Crazy stuff, huh? 

Let's Just Pretend Like It's Summer

Flats: Urban Outfitters [$10]

Sorry for the lateness of posts, I've been busy getting a lot of school things wrapped up. Two weeks. God help us all. Let's do this thing! Oh yeah, I suppose I should talk about my clothes or something real fast, but honestly, all I want to do now is sleep. So sleep I shall! Have a lovely weekend y'all. 

Suit Minus Tie

Blazer: Urban Outfitters [a Christmas gift from a few years ago]

Tank: F21 [$3]

Trousers: Urban Outfitters [clothing exchange]

Boots: Urban Outfitters [$20]

Bracelet: F21 [$3]

I couldn't help but laugh at the fact that I wore a very business-like outfit to school this day solely because I hadn't done laundry in forever and all my normal clothes were dirty. These trousers that I got from Kelly were awesomely comfy and silky and fantastic for a full day of classes and sitting cross-legged eating tacos. Hooray for clothing exchanges and fitting other people's attire! I added the touch of color with the bracelet and watch and wore a cami to break up the masculinity of the suit. Although next time I may just wear it with a fully button up shirt and bun, we'll just have to see til then!

Pants: Urban Outfitters [$5]

Boots: Costco [a gift]

Bracelet: F21 [$2]

You know how sometimes you have those days where you want to wear shiny things and look slightly pirate-like? Or this could well just be me. Probably. But this ensemble was fun because it was a windy day and my shirt was billowing everywhere but the tight pants balanced everything out. Proportions are what really make an outfit sometimes! It's time to eat Milanos and work on homework til a delicious dinner at my advisor's home in the Upper West Side, which will probably include bacon and chocolate somewhere in the meal. Whoohoo!

Denim to the Second Power

Button-up: Target [$5]

Jeans: Gap [clothing exchange]

Boots: Kohls [$5]

Shades: F21 [$4]

Denim weekends are the best. I'm not the biggest jean person because they're not as comfortable to sit cross-legged in, but these pants in their worn-in goodness, are slowly changing my mind. They passed the Sunday School test of comfortability and ease of access with flying colors, and may now be a Sunday staple. I've had these boots since senior year of high school, and they're currently at the stage of softness that is most comparable to slipper-socks. Except now even the soles are falling off, but I won't give them up! Never! I have a hard time letting go of shoes I love. Ask me about my striped Keds if you want further proof. Or my gold flats. Man oh man, those were some good shoes. Okay, time to get ready for a night of dancing and impending weekend of recluse! Have a great weekend!

Sneaky Peaks

A sneak peak of tomorrow's post! Actually, it's not sneaky at all because you can almost see everything I'm wearing, but we'll just keep it at that for the time being.
