It's been awhile...

It's been awhile since my last post, so obviously I've worn a lot of clothes between now and then... I apologize for not blogging more often.  Classes, Ultimate Frisbee, and band come first, but trust me, I've been trying not to slack in my outfit selection.

A few things I'd like to discuss:
-my recent staples
-my new favorite pieces
-some cute outfits I've worn
-the weather today :)

My recent staples:
-My black-and-grey striped TOMS.  I wear them everywhere and with everything (except sweats... for some reason, I think TOMS with sweats look stupid).
-The dark green, purple, and red v-neck t-shirts I bought at Wet Seal.  I think that every time I do laundry I wash at least two of them.
-Tank tops.  I only had one black cami, so when my mom and aunt took me shopping, I bought another black cami, a cream colored cami, a black/cream striped tank, a cream/tan striped tank, and a sparkly black tank top. Seriously, they are perfect for layering underneath sweaters, leathers jackets, or simple low-cut/see-through tops.

My new(ish) favorite pieces:
-My silver moon/star ring.  It reminds me of my dream to go to outer space.  When I feel down about school, it reminds me what I'm working towards... and it honestly encourages me.
-My green leather jacket. I bought it at Macy's last Thanksgiving, and I wore it for probably the third time on Friday.  And I rocked it.  Note to self: find more things to wear it with.
-My black Candie's jeggings/stretch pants.  I hate to call them jeggings because they're soft and not denim, but I hate to call them stretch pants because they are rather dressy... but I've already mentally designed multiple outfits to wear them with.

Cute outfits:
-Green leather jacket, black jeggings, black cami, my key necklace, my green bead dangly earrings, and black pointed flats (with zippers!).  Pulled my hair back by doing my usual side part and then twisting it.
-For Beauty and the Beast: black pencil skirt with my purple top (the sleeves are slightly puffy) tucked in.  Pointed black heels, pearl earrings, and my black-and-white patterned trench coat (see right) completed the outfit. Oh, and don't forget my perfect over-the-shoulder, navy purse (also from NYC last Thanksgiving).
-Purple v-neck, light blue jeans (Aeropostale, slightly flared), pearl earrings, black-and-grey TOMS, navy zip-up hoodie underneath and black and white jacket... perfect for a colder day and shopping with my mom and aunt!

The weather here is lovely today though slightly windy.  Have to admit, I'm loving it.  I should be outside, but instead I'm taking care of random business in my dorm room.  Boiler Brass game tonight, so I'll be rockin' the sparkly gold TOMS with bumblebee knee socks. :)

Boiler up and dress up!
