Let's Talk Denim

Today I had to do my Graduation Project speech with my advisor. I planned to wear this cute pencil skirt, but I am also presenting on Thursday and I was definitely wear it then. So last minute I changed my outfit, nothing knew. I went with the same dress I wore in A Simple Day Six, just winterized. I wore the denim shirt dress with a wide black leather belt, black tights, and black heels. At the end of the day I found out I had a run in my tights! I was mad, but only one person noticed so I guess it is not to major. I went with a silver scarf and my blue pea coat. That coat is one of my most worn items in the winter with my more dressy outfits. It is actually a really odd color blue, but it matches more than you would ever expect. For jewelry I went with silver hoops and a white gold and sapphire ring. I feel like this outfit had a lot more potential, but then again I was rushed no other. The fab week continues!

Striped Sweater

This morning I figured I would end up with a rushed, norm, outfit. Until I remembered a sweater I have not worn in quite a while. My grandpa actually picked it out for me one year for Christmas. He said it has a Canadian look, what ever that means. I love him. It has wide gray and cream stripes with blue accents. It is cut in a deep v so I wore a blue lace camisole underneath. I wore it with dark, wide jeans, black booties, and a black scarf. Horizontal stripes are very risky because they can make you look wider. However, if they are wore with the right pieces then they do not create that effect. Wearing a scarf not tied gives an elongated look, so the wide stripes are no biggie. This morning it was chilly so I went with my blue pea coat.This could be the beginning of a cute week!

Bloody Disaster

This year I am finally old enough to give blood. Saving lives is a great thing, so I know if I am able to donate blood then that is something I will absolutely do. I signed up and even picked out my outfit around giving blood. I was wide jeans, navy, red, and cream design shirt, a cream scarf and red pointed toe kitten heels. I loved my outfit and I was so excited all day about giving blood. Well I get there and before you give blood you have to anwser about a million questions. Well I was on question three when I found out I did not weigh enough to give. If you are 5'3'' you have to weigh at least 124 pounds. I was so disappointed for the rest of the day. Giving blood is such a good cause and I felt it would be my service to the community to give blood. Maybe next time. if you would like to find out more about giving blood, contact The American Red Cross.

These Boots are made for Walking

So I am about a week behind. Thank goodness I only have two blogs. I have been going full speed since Monday though, so that is why it has taken me forever to get this blog posted. I had a pretty long weekend so Monday I wanted to keep things pretty easy. I went with jeggings, a white v neck, a long sleeved light blue cardigan, and cognac leather embroidered boots. I would honestly wear these boots everyday. They are so comfortable and cute, I just love them. Steve Madden Women's Inka Knee-High Bootsare an example of the type of boots that every woman should have in her closet.

A Rushed Embellishment

This morning I wanted to wear something cute, but I did not have much time. I went with a pair of wide jeans, what else, and a button down royal blue shirt layered over a gold embellished tank. I really have not realized how much royal blue I own until I start writing about it. But I wore my black heels and a black velvet embellished scarf. Diamond earrings, vintage gold watch, and fresh water pearls. It was a pretty simple outfit, but still considered fashion forward in my school. I have a lot to do this weekend, so I will have to make my post short, and there will only be two posts next week because of the Holidays!

Floral Festivities

This Thursday was my boyfriend's birthday, and even though I did not get to see him I still wanted to wear something cute! You know any reason to dress up. I did not go crazy dressed up, just cute. Well I decided to still go with my wide jeans, but I wore my navy heels, and a button down, navy royal and light blue, floral tunic. I went with a silver scarf and sapphire jewelry. I just love this outfit. I wore my favorite but most uncomfortable pair of jeans, they are super tight and have absolutely no give until knee level where they flare out majorly. Yes majorly. I always get compliments when I wear these jeans and I really love them, I just cannot cross my legs when I wear them. They get worn only on special occasions. There is no Spartan Friday tomorrow, so I will get to completely pick out my Friday outfit. I have to say, I am not excited about it.

Plaid Panoramic

Today we had our senior panoramic photo made. We were all supposed to wear our senior tuxedo t shirts if we had one. So i decided to wear that like most other people. I still wanted something a little different that would make me pop and say hey that's Madison Broadway. I decided to go with my red plain scarf. Nothing says me like a scarf, especially when we are all supposed to be in black. I always have to be the different one, but I think that is okay. Pictures should show who you are as a person. I finished my outfit with a pair of rock republic jeans, black flats with a bow, and silver jewelry. I have had some extremely casual outfits this week, but tomorrow is my boyfriends birthday, so maybe I will spice it up a little.

No Fail Uniform

I think everybody kind of has their own uniform even if they do not know it. It is those outfits they go to when nothing else seems to be working or when they just do not feel like putting something extravagant together, and for some, the jeans, tennis shoe, and t shirt outfit they wear almost everyday. For me I think it is my wide jeans, with my black heels, a basic tee, a cardigan, and a scarf. Sometimes I may add to it, other days simplify it even more. This is the type of outfit I feel most confident in and I think I find my self wearing this types of outfits more than I realize. Today I went with wide jeans, black heels, a white v neck, a royal blue over sized cardigan, and a gray scarf. It was a rainy day, so I wore my trench coat when I was outside. See, you just cannot go wrong with certain outfits. The best thing is, they are some of the most comfortable outfits you own whether you know it or not because they are the ones you feel confident in.

May Peace be with You

So this Monday I was really dragging. I had a pretty busy weekend, not to mention 15 of my weekend hours were spent on my Graduation Project board. I decided to go with a pretty casual outfit. I wore a Let Peace In t shirt with a big peace sign on the front, basic jeans, a coral scarf for color, and my Toms. There really was not anything fabulous about this outfit, but it was just me. Sometimes I feel like the casual side of my wardrobe gets neglected; it has to be appreciated sometimes, and this week is feeling like the perfect week for it. I love my Toms, they are so comfortable and for such a good cause. For anybody that does not know, when you buy a pair of Toms, a child also gets a pair.

Final Friday

This Friday was our final Spartan Football Friday. We were off to the playoffs and everybody was supposed to wear Spartan colors or t shirts. I decided to go with my Spartan Football t shirt, since it would be my last opportunity to wear it. I wore that t shirt with a gray Members Only jacket, basic jeans, black flats, and of course a red plaid scarf. It seems like I never have anything to wear with this scarf but it really put together this outfit. It was sad to think that I would never again be dressing up to support the Spartan football team and another chapter in my life was closing. When I think of high school I think of Friday night football games, and even though it was way to cold for me to go, I just cannot get over the fact that this Friday there will be nothing to dress up for. Basketball will not get here soon enough.

Hearty Hosiery

If I can find a reason to dress up then I will. Veterans day was a good enough reason for me. We did not go to school on Veterans Day, so I dressed up a little Wednesday. I also just got a new pair of navy heels from shoedazzle.com, so I had to find a fabulous outfit to wear with them. I went with a silk blue, green, and navy print skirt, worn at the high waist, hits right above the knee, a black sweater, black hose with hearts in a line going down the back, so cute, and my new navy heels. I am not the type of person that says you cannot wear black and navy, I think it would be tons worse if you wore navy, with another navy that says, yeah I tried to match it, while everybody can clearly see that it does not match. I have never really had the perfect pair of shoes to wear with this skirt, so I was so excited when they showed up in the mail! I went with silver jewelry. This was just a classy outfit and I was actually really happy with it. One thing I wish I would have thought about was that I went to the elementary school this day and so it was not the best outfit to be sitting in the floor in.

Vintage Spirit

This weekend my Cody gave me an old wrestling warm up jacket. It is from I do not know when but I am in love with it. When he gave it to be he said "look, it's vintage!" and I thought I would die. Not because I liked the jacket so much but because the words vintage came out of his mouth. The jacket is red with SPARTANS embroidered across the chest in black. It has gray and red striped cuffs and collar. It also zips up. I wore wide jeans and black heels, a gray and black striped shirt that buttons half way down, and a black scarf. I went with big silver earrings and and silver ring. I am someone that loves to show school spirit, but in a different way. Normally when I wear something from my school there are at least five other people in the same t shirt and it gets to me. I got a ton of compliments and questions about the jacket and I love that I know nobody else will have it!

Just the Norm

This morning I wanted to bring something out from the depths of my closet, when I spotted my orange plaid flannel shirt. There was nothing too special about this outfit. Flannel are not anything too special to me. A ton of people wear it so this is just a pretty plain outfit to me. I went with basic jeans and brown moccasins. Gold jewelry and my bomber jacket when it felt thirty below this morning.Oh and we cannot forget the black scarf. I do not really have much to say about this outfit. I mean I really like the few flannel shirts I have. They definitely keep me warm with being super bulky. And I think its funny that whether you are a lumberjack or a band kid or someone like myself you can all shop at the place or section.

Support our Seniors

One more Spartan Friday and it is Senior Night. Tonight at the football game we support our senior football players. This was their last game at Spartan Community Stadium, and it was a pretty emotional night for the players, fans, and parents. It was freezing cold and raining at the game but many people still came out to the game. Each class has their own color at school: freshmen have white, sophomores have gray, juniors have red, and the seniors have black. Everybody what supposed to wear black today to show support. I went with a silver accented black v neck with a gray cardigan and a black scarf. Wide leg dark jeans, and black heels. I wore something much warmer to the game. I could not believe it would be my last home football game as a student, but it was so cold I could only bear it for about thirty minutes before I was home in a warm shower. It was a good way to sum up our season with a 50 to 20 win. And we are off to the playoffs!

Is it the Pink, or the Scarf?

I used to never be a huge fan of pink. It just seemed really outdated to me in some way. Last week I wore more pink than I have in my entire senior year I believe. I also wore pink Tuesday and this Thursday. I do not know what has gotten into me, I guess I have been introduced into the world of pink, maybe I am in love, but it will probably just be another one of my fads. Not to mention I do not think I have anything pink left in my wardrobe I have not worn. Anyways. I went with a white v neck with a short sleeve black cardigan over it, wide jeans, black heels, and a huge pink scarf. I actually found the scarf in my mom's drawer. She is not a big fan of scarves so I told her I would be happy to take it off her hands, along with two other scarves I found with it. I am not lying when I say I am a scarf fanatic. I was probably just excited to wear a new scarf rather than the pink! This was a pretty simple outfit, but anytime I wear something new I think it is amazing!

An Arctic Autumn

I believe North Carolina has the strangest weather. Last week we were in the 80's. This week it is snowing in the more northern areas. Next week it is supposed to warm back to the 60s and 70s. This crazy weather sometimes makes me aggravated with my outfit. It is freezing cold in the morning, and then 75 degrees in the afternoon, and I love layers, but I hate carrying them around. This Wednesday we had our coldest day yet, and it was raining. I went with a v neck gray sweater with an arctic print, a green scarf, (the same color green accented in my sweater,) light skinny jeans, brown leather boots with a similar print as my sweater, leather bomber jacket, and before school started an over sized beanie. This outfit definitely kept me warm and dry. Everything went together but I do not think it was to 'matchy matchy'. It all just flowed together. Let's see what kind of crazy weather Thursday has in store for us...

An Over Sized Drag

So this morning I woke up late. I seem to always be late, but this morning I was really late. I was also tired of pulling hair up in ponytails so I was determined to run the straightener through it. Today I had to go with something that qualifies as, decent. Definitely not a fav but not horrible, but mediocre. I wore a basic pair of jeans, with a plain white v neck, and a hot pink over sized cardigan over it. I went with black flats and a black scarf. I did have my toms on but i felt they would make my outfit too too casual. It was probably our coldest day so far so my trench was absolutely necessary for when I went outside. I am not excited for this cold weather, but then again I would probably have to repeat outfits if the weather did not change before too long. And that just cannot happen. I went with my uniform jewelry, diamond studs and vintage watch. I really did not have time for anything else. Tomorrow I want to make an attempt for a cute outfit I got these new tights and if I wait much longer it is going to be way too cold to even think about wearing tights. Not to mention this is going to be a hectic couple of days so I need to plan my outfits the night before. Consequently, hopefully all my outfits will be a drag like this one.

The Scarf

Today I felt like it was cool enough to bring out the Burberry scarf. I went to England and France a few years ago when I was 11. I had owned scarves before but never really wore them, then I got that scarf. Now I have approximatively 40 scarves and I would not hesitate to buy another one. If you are an active reader or just see me every day then you will notice it is rare to see me without a scarf, even in the summer. It is all thanks to my Burberry scarf. Today I wore wide leg dark jeans, black heels, a black v neck sweater, and my Burberry scarf. This morning I wore my brown leather bomber jacket, it was freezing. I am not a black and brown oh my girl, I actually really like them together. So critic me if you would like I do not mind. My pet peeve is when two browns do not match, especially, if it looks like there was an attempt for them to match, but you can tell whoever was just like eh that is good enough. Good enough does not cut it. If you are going to wear two colors of brown, please make sure they are on the opposite ends of the brown spectrum, that is okay. Not a chocolate brown and a cherry brown, no no no. Okay, I am over that. So, almost no outfit is complete without a scarf and do not mix your browns are my two pointers, and two major ones, if you want my styling advice.

Just Pinky

Spartan Friday and we are all in pink! Well pink is by no means my favorite color, I had to buy a shirt just for today, but it is pretty. I have to say I thought our school looked too cute all in pink, even the boys. I went with an extremely casual outfit today, but then again I did not have many options. I went with a pink silver striped wide neck long sleeve tee and basic jeans. I wore my pink jelly shoes also. I continued wearing my pink sapphires and silver earrings. I also wore a silver scarf. a cropped black wool pea coat when it was cool this morning. This has to be my favorite casual outfit so far, I think the pink is growing on me!

Pink Sapphires? Yes, please.

Once again behind on my blog. But what can I say, I am a busy girl. I do not have much pink in my wardrobe so I had to go with blue today. I did buy a pink shirt for Friday. I wanted to wait and wear it then because Friday the whole school is going all out in pink. This Thursday I wore a royal blue v neck long shirt. It is rusched at the waist and has white embroidery around the edges. I wore a white camisole under it and a black fringe scarf. I went with dark wash wide leg jeans and black heels. I fancied it up a bit with white gold and sapphire jewelry. I did wear my pink sapphire ring so I could say I was supporting breast cancer awareness the best I could. I did not believe my dad when he brought this ring home because I though sapphires are always supposed to be blue, well, not so.  It was cool outside this morning so I wore my brown trench coat. This is a pretty simple outfit but you really cannot go wrong with wide jeans and anything it seems.
