New Beginnings, Belts, and Books

I wanted to keep my fresh start so this Friday I wanted to wear a belt my mom found for me. It is cognac brown with a colored paisley pattern, very cute! I thought I would keep the rest of my outfit simple, so I could show it off. I also knew I wanted to tuck in my shirt. I went with the ever classic, dark skinny jeans and plain white v neck. I brought out the color in the belt with a coral scarf. As for shoes, my cognac lace up booties! I fear my posts may become neglected and definitely shortened with this harder semester, and enlarged workload, but I will make sure I post something for everyday!

Freshly Floral

It is a new semester, finally. With snow days and exams I never thought it would get here! It felt like a very cold first day of school! I went through my closest looking for pieces I have not worn yet and I came across a cream, black, and turquoise, floral print cardigan. The print is pretty large and it is not too springy, so I thought it would be cute. I wore a black lacy camisole under it and wore wide jeans black boots. I also wore my black pea coat with the little flowers on the collar. I am just in love with the pea coat! I went with cream and gold heart earrings and gold jewelry. Nothing too extravagant, but still classy!

Va Va Versace

Today was our last exam day, but I still did not have school. Instead, I made a trip to the eye doctor. I knew I would probably be doing a little shopping afterwards, so I wanted to make sure and not wear anything too restraining for my shopping needs. I went with dark skinny jeans, black over the knee boots, a basic plum v neck, with a big silver necklace. Today was also one of the few days I wore my glasses! They are silver, black, and Versace. I love those glasses, contacts just seem so much more convenient!

Flowers, Poofs, and Ruffles

Today I went shopping for my cotillion dress. I did not find a dress but I did find a fabulous pea coat. It is black with three buttons, a line, and on the left collar it has little flowers. They just set the coat off! We did have a little problem though, there was only one, and it was missing a button. What a heart breaker right? No, it had a extra button on it and we got 20% off! I just love deals! As for finding a cotillion dress, I do not know what I am going to do. Now about what I actually wore... When I shop, and especially when I know I am going to be trying on clothes, I follow four rules: I wear something comfortable, warm enough I will not have to carry a jacket in these months, shoes easy to take off quickly for fast shoe try ons, and minimal layers, so I am not on off on off, over the hair, back over the hair so much. I decided to go with basic jeans, a long sleeve blue top with poofy sleeves, got to have that glam some where right, a cream scarf with ruffles, and black flats. Shopping in the summertime is the best, a dress and sandals! Ah, it will be too long till I am in those though.

Time to Pop

Today I stayed around Lexington, went to lunch with my dad and a few shops with mom. I decided to go with a pretty simple outfit, but I wanted to wear my navy heels. I have not worn them much, so I based my outfit on them. I went with lighter wide jeans, a navy cardigan with a pop of fuchsia underneath. I went with a silver scarf. and ended up with my blue pea coat on for most of the time I was out and around town. But it is cute too, so that is okay.

O O Obsessed

This week we have exams and I exempted all of mine so I will not be going to school, but of course I will still be wearing clothes. I am just not ready to wear bright colors or anything yet but I did lighten up my wardrobe with some polka dots. We had a very warm day and I was going to be running around town, so I decided to go with a sweater warm enough I would not need a jacket for. It is solid black and a v neck, I wore a polka dot scarf tied in a knot, straight jeans, and blue moccasins with a gold buckle for a little pop. I went with gold jewelry. It was a pretty simple day, but I was just running around town, so no need for anything extravagant. It was so nice to get a little warm sunshine though!

Honorable Mention

We have been out of school for a long time because of the snow and the holiday. This Tuesday we finally returned; however, I did not. Over the break my grandfather passed away and I attended his funeral this Tuesday. He was always very proud of my blog and every time I visited him, he would ask 'so have you repeated any outfits yet?' or 'are you still doing your blog?' I said I would do the blog no matter what as long as there was a school day, so being as dedicated as he was I am not going to change it. I wore a knee length dress, with a white, gray, and black circle design. I wore a skinny gray braided belt, a black scarf, black heels, and black tights. And that is about all I have to say about this outfit.

Leopard Vest, 'Nough Said

I was planning on taking my picture for the yearbook staff page today so I wanted to wear something that is sure to make a statement. Well I ended up not taking my picture today, but I still wore something fabulous. It was a Christmas present from my cousin Courtney, and I must say I have always been weary of animal prints until I got this leopard print vest. I just love it! I feel like you have to be very careful with animal prints to make sure they do not look too cheap. This vest main color is leopard print with shiny tiny spots over it that set it off. It has a wide black collar and a wide black band at the bottom. I layered it over a black basic 3/4ths length shirt. I went with dark wide jeans, and black booties. I wore a combination of brassy gold and silver jewelry to accent the brown in the vest.

A Casual Circle

My brother, Mason, gave me a coral circle scarf for Christmas! Well, as you know, I already love scarves, so a different type of scarf makes me ecstatic! I have been having some pretty major outfits lately, so I decided I would tone it down a bit today and focus on my scarf. I wore it with a basic cream top, layered under an over sized black sweater. This sweater is just great; it has two big buttons at the top, creating a turtle neck, that you can button so it is just the basic top, but I like it down like an over sized collar. I went with basic jeans and my Morocco black and cream Toms. I wore cream heart earrings, with gold accents and a gold opal ring. I was a casual cutie as Kailey said today, love her! Tomorrow I am taking my picture for the yearbook staff so I need to be business woman cute!

Sexy Shoulders

Lately I have been falling for decorated shoulders on clothings; such as, beading, embroidery, etcetera. I received a top for Christmas right in this range, and it is just so cute! It is a plum purple, with a cut v, 3/4ths length with rolled up sleeves and a button, and then it has major silver beading on the shoulders. It kind of has a military feel to it. It is a great way to dress up a basic tee. I paired it with another new pair of dark wash, clean cut, wide jeans, black scrunched booties, and black and silver jewelry. I did not want to wear a jacket for most of the day because then you would not be able to see the beading, but I did have to wear a grey scarf I received from my secret Santa, Emma. She did just fabulous with the choice, I need more casual scarves. This is definitely a comfy casual look, taken up a notch!

Das Boot

One my my favorite items I received for Christmas was my Justin Boots. Santa knows his boots! I knew I wanted to debut these boots early so I went with them today! They are a dark brown color with some fades to a more cognac brown. They are designed by Fossil so they have a very vintage feel. I wore them with dark skinny jeans, a basic white tee, and a zig zag weaved multicolored scarf. I did not want to take away from the boots, so I kept the outfit very basic. This is probably my favorite scarf, it honestly has every color and it is huge, so it is super cozy. I most definitely see these boots and this scarf much in my future, but I did get ten scarves for Christmas so I will try and use it sparingly ha!

Fashionably Late

Well it's back to school from a fabulous break, however it does not look like I am off to a swift start with my first blog back late! But I am back in 2011 wearing 1920's inspired booties! They are a cognac brown with a two inch heel and they lace up reaching right over the ankle. My grandpa did some great Christmas shopping this year! I wore these with skinny jeans, had to make sure to show them off, a light pink poncho shirt with beading at the top, and a new scarf. This scarf has an Aztec design to it with warm blues, greens, and purples. But it had a musty smell to it, so I will be sure to wash it before I wear it again. I could not pick a better outfit to start out the new year!
