Polka Dots for the Page

This Wednesday we took the fashion page picture, lots of pictures for yearbook while we are trying to finish it up! Our school colors are red, black, white, and silver. I told everybody to wear those colors and the red will stick out. I got a red dress with white polka dots a while back and I have never worn it. I felt like this was the perfect opportunity. I wanted to make sure I accessorized it so that I would not get an Minnie Mouse comments and I was successful! The dress is fitted and stops about six inches above the knee. It was still a little chilly, so I went with black ribbed tights. Then a scarf was still necessary so I went with a silver one. I wore black patent heels for the picture, but they are too high for the walking I have to do, so I brought along patent flats to change into when I need to. This was an outfit that stands out everyday and in the picture!

Safari Shorts

This Tuesday I had to take my picture for the Yearbook page so I wanted to make sure and wear something different and cute! I have these high wasted shorts that have an abstract safari print in black and cream. Now, it was way too cold for just the shorts, but they are a little more dressy so I wore black tights under them, tucked in a cream shirt, wore a coral scarf tied in a knot for some color, otherwise the cream would wash me out terribly, and I went with my black scrunchy booties. This outfit was majorrr, and I just love it! I love pieces like these short because I can wear them when it is 40 degrees or 90 degrees outside!

Balance and Blisters

This Monday was another warm day, and I decided to go with skinny crop jeggings. The crops are pants that a little longer than capris so you just see about three inches of the ankle. When I wear something that is tight on the bottom half, I like to wear something with a little more volume on the top. I went with a solid white v neck and then a cobalt blue over sized cardigan. I wore my black flats with the florets, and I must say I regret it. They are the flats that have the elastic and roll up and they made really bad blisters on the back of my ankles. I have only worn these flats with jeans, so normally I have socks on, this was a trial thing, and I highly doubt I will wear these without socks unless I will just be sitting around all day! Note to self, these are not walking shoes.

Summoned Sandals

This Friday the high was about 72 degrees and the sandals were summoned. I just had to wear my open toe brown wedges with the florets. I was not going to go all out in shorts or a sundress though. That would be too far. I paired them with fitted flare jeans, a cream flowy top, tucked in, and a brown leather belt, with colored accents. I also went with a maroon scarf to bring some color to the top half. Friday I finally got to feeling a little better and being able to wear wedges in February made it that much better!

Spring Fever

I do not know what it is with being sick, but this week I have worn a lot of color and florals. This Thursday was no exception. All the warm weather has been tempting me to bring out some spring colors, and I just could not hold back wearing my light pink floral jellies any longer! I went with basic jeans, a solid purple tunic, and a floral purple, blue, and pink over sized scarf. The change in weather is probably what made me sick, but I cannot complain. I guess I have an early case of spring fever! I am cutting short, so I can hopefully get caught up!

Feeling... Green and Flat

Well this Wednesday, I was still sick! I had no voice whatsoever. And once again, I felt the need for comfort. I went with my wide green jeans. They really are just the most comfortable pair of pants I own. And they are not too long like most of my wide jeans, for flats. I have never worn so many flats in my life! I went with a purple, orange, and green floral print cotton shirt, a khaki crop blazer, and metallic gold moccasins. The comfort level in the outfit was so high, I had to come home from school midday and take myself a power nap! These posts are super short I know, but I have like a million to write!

Skinnys when Sick

This Tuesday I just could not make it to first and second period. I went to the doctor instead. As for third and fourth I did manage to get something decent together. I went with my cognac embroidered boots, they are so comfortable I just could not pass them up. I wore them with skinnys, and lavender v neck, and big cream scarf, and my bomber jacker of course! It is amazing how comfortable this 'sick' outfit was, but do not get me wrong, I could not get home, into my sweats, and into bed fast enough!

Pink with Love

Happy Valentines Day to me, I am sick! I still went to school though, but I will warn my outfits this week were nothing spectacular. I had an upper respiratory infect that only got worse as the week progressed! I started the week off wanting to show my Valentines colors. I have a pink scarf and I have never worn it! This seemed like the perfect opportunity! I wore it with a black top with a ruffle neck, wide jeans, and black booties. Like I said nothing too major, but pink is such a sweet color it seemed alight. I wore my pink sapphires today too!

Bananas for Basketball

This Friday we had a Spartan Friday! We had our last home basketball game, so everybody was supposed to wear Spartan colors, red, black, white, or silver. I knew I would wear my red tie dye Spartan tee so I really wanted to wear my white jeans, so that I did not just have another tee shirt and jeans outfit. I wore those white jeans, my tee, black floral flats, a black sweater cardigan, and a silver scarf. I think this was far from a basic tee and jeans ensemble.

Take it up a Notch

After a lazy and comfy Tuesday and Wednesday, I was ready to dress up a little more Thursday. I have a pair of jeans I almost never wear because they are so tight and have almost no stretch. They probably look the best on, but I almost have to plan on being uncomfortable all day if I am going to wear these jeans. This Thursday we had a two hour delay, so I figured it would be a good day to wear something I am hesitant about. The jeans are a very dark wash, and they are tight until the knee, then they flare out a ton. These are the absolute Rachel Zoe flares. I wore them with a light blue floral print tunic, and my navy heels. I have been doing this crazy yoga in a 105 degree room, so turns out the jeans were not as tight as I expected, however still tighter than most my other jeans. I guess I should keep up the yoga and before long, I will be wearing these jeans as much as possible!

Caution: This Piece is Easily Addicted To

I feel like I have started my last 18 blogs with I know I am behind... So why change right, ha. I have just been extremely busy this week. Tuesday I had borrowed a pair of UGGs from my friend Tori (she has like the entire UGG collection, so borrowing this pair was no biggie) and there they are staring at my Wednesday morning. They just looked so comfortable and warm and cozy, there was no way I could turn them down. They are the Classic Cardy in grey. Also the ones that look like a sweater. I wore them with lighter skinny jeans, which I also got comments on, from Tara and Spencer. Apparently these are the most casual jeans I have worn this year! I went with a purple shirt with embellishment on the neck line. I also wore silver jewelry. I had to get those UGGs back to Tori asap, otherwise I would be wearing them every day!

Abstract Comfort

This Tuesday I was really in the mood to wear my moccasins. It is a good thing I did, I ended up taking my peer class to recess and I was a little muddy. So I was rummaging through my closet and I cannot find anything, then underneath a pile of clothes I was going to get rid I see a navy, red, and cream print Fossil shirt screaming my name! I love keeping colors in the same family to cream would really compliment my cognac mocs. This print is kind of an abstract floral print, very 50's or 60's. I went with basic jeans, and then a big warm cozy, I-just-want-to-cuddle-up-and-go-back-to-sleep cream scarf. I went with a solid scarf since I had a print on my top. This is one of my most comfortable outfits yet!

When In Doubt

Go with this out...fit! I tried to rhyme. I know I am behind! This has just been a busy busy week. I am doing this new yoga called Bikram and I am taking the class every night this week, so juggling that and school work has pushed my blog to the back burner. Monday I had nothing planned to wear so I went with one of my basic outfits; dark wide jeans, 20's style cognac lace up booties, a basic cream over sized sweater, my bomber jacket, and a zigzag multi colored scarf! If I am ever in a rush, I always resort to outfits like this. As long as I have wide jeans, black/brown booties, a solid shirt, and a scarf to contrast it, I am good! I may have a few more of these outfits this week!

Wear Red

I am an avid supporter of many causes. If all I have to do is wear a color to support something, why not! Today was national wear red day to support reducing heart disease in women. Turns out, other than t shirts and dresses, I do not have much red! I finally found a basic long sleeve red shirt, I figured it would not be too hard to dress up. I wore a fitted black blazer with a lace trim over it and a black and white polka dot scarf. I feel like there is always a right and wrong way to do something, and polka dots are one of those. I had all solid colors, so  the polka dot scarf is just what this outfit needed to tie it together.  It was a rainy day so I wore skinny jeans and my black scrunchy booties! This is one of my favorite outfits of the year I think, not only was I supporting a cause, but also in current and hopefully future school colors, not too much long and I will know if I got into NCSU or not!

A Simple Environment

Today we had our environmental club picture so I wore my club t shirt to support it, and show off my proud presidency! The t shirt is a chocolate brown with a world on the front, and above it reads 'You people are hurting me!' Now, I could not go with just a t shirt, but I did keep all of my clothes cotton or other environmental friendly fibers. I wore a light blue over sized cardigan, basic jeans, and my Toms. I also wore earth tone jewelry, made from various natural stones and such. I kept it pretty simple, but I think that fits the environment theme.

Florals and Flats and Fever

Like I said yesterday, flats are going to be more common in my wardrobe the the peer helping. This is until it gets warm enough to bring out the wedges! One day of warm weather and I already have spring fever. This weekend I got these cute black flats that have three flowers on the toe. I knew I wanted to wear these, so I went with something to tie in the floral. I decided to go with a thin navy and light blue floral print tunic, over a black lace camisole. I went with dark clean cut basic jeans and silver jewelry to brighten the outfit up a bit. I wear the tunic over some of my bathing suits, so that really made me want to hurry along the warm weather!

A Lucky Klein Find

Lately I have been having troubles finding cute tops. Marshalls is one of my favorite stores, ever. Who would not want to spend less than they have to on a great quality item. This weekend I got super lucky there. I think they are making room for the spring, and I found a Calvin Klein shirt normally priced at $49.50 for $5. You just cannot beat that! I have a pretty big wardrobe, but I can honestly say, everything is not pricey just because it is cute. I do have my statement pieces that I am willing to spend a little more on, but they are pieces that will last a lifetime; or more. Not to mention some the the best items out there are in vintage or thrift shops. They may need some editing, but that only make them more unique!The shirt is a Cerulean blue color, with tighter sleeve and a loose fit. It has a little zipper pocket on the left, and it is ultra soft! I went with boot cut jeans, black booties, and my trench coat. This semester I will be doing much more walking with my peer helping, so I may not be in heels as much, which will be hard for me.
