Rain, Rain, Please Come Today!

Yesterday and today have been rainy and cloudy, and I am totally okay with that.  We definitely need the rain.  I knew we were in a drought, but the realization of how bad it was did not hit me until I was sitting in the amphitheater on Slayter Hill looking out at the brown, dead grass on the hill.  It looked terrible!  However, our concert on Tuesday went very well, and we had a good crowd sitting on that dead grass.  

Another good thing about the rain and clouds is that it almost cooled off a little bit. I wore this outfit yesterday, and it was exciting to wear something besides shorts.  The jeggings make me feel trendy, but they're also super-duper comfortable... basically they're fashionable stretch pants. The top is one I wore a lot down in Houston.  It is great with skinny jeans and TOMS.  Again, I wore my floral sneakers and my star-and-moon ring along with my new pearl earrings. Today I resorted to pink athletic shorts, my Paint Crew t-shirt, and my pink tennis shoes... I just feel like going comfy for Friday.  Only one class today, and it's a guest lecturer, but we get points or something for showing up! It ought to be interesting, and then my weekend full of studying and studying and studying and Batman can commence.  Have a great Friday!

Pearl Earrings

I finally replaced my cheap pair of pearl earrings that I lost in Houston... I hate to relive that fateful day, but I was swimming with friends when I went to fiddle with my earrings and realized I had lost one of them.  Since that day, I've been wearing these bigger diamond studs (pretty but kind of flashy).  So when Amanda, her sister Abby, and I went shopping on Saturday, I bought a three pack of pearl earrings (different sizes) from Claire's.  I am so excited. I am going to wear them today (even though today is a shorts-and-a-t-shirt day).  I realized that it was worth spending the $8.03 to get three nicer pairs.  I will most definitely get my use out of them.

This is the outfit I wore for my Saturday in Shipshewana. I wore those darn floral sneakers again (I cannot get enough of them), but this time I opted to make them more sophisticated by wearing khaki bermudas with a v-neck tucked in. Is the tucked-in shirt too much?  I thought it looked alright with the belt and seemed less blah than just a v-neck and bermudas, but I could be wrong.  Anyway, this was an outfit I wished to accessorize with pearl earrings, so after I bought the earrings, I wore them.  I also wore my favorite star/moon ring.  

Visiting Shipshewana was very fun, but now I need to shift back into school mode.  I have twelve days of classes left and then finals... dun dun dun.  Anyway, this blog is a great way for me to take a break from studying.   

Have a happy Monday!

Eight hours of sleep and coffee...

Lately I've been running on eight hours of sleep a night and coffee... I think that if I hadn't hurt my knee (and hence could exercise), I'd be one happy camper!  Then again, I'm also just feeling good this morning because I had a test yesterday and hence had no homework last night.  I was able to do Cardio Blast after eating dinner with a good friend, and then I called my mother and my twin.  And then a certain boy texted me... ;)

Anyway, today is a 'lazy-but-still-stylish' day.  At least in my books anyway.  I am wearing my navy shorts, a light purple v-neck, and my grey-and-black striped TOMS.  Of course, I don't know if I could go to class without my watch and my star/moon ring.

Here are two outfits that I wore recently.  It was too darn hot for awhile to wear anything too stuffy, but I sucked it up and dressed up.  It was awfully tempting to just wear athletic shorts and t-shirts.

The outfit above felt fun because of the different lengths... short shorts with a three-quarters-length sleeves.  Also, I wore the cute bracelet I made from the pendant Lisa gave me.  Plus I love those tan sandals.  I feel like they're sophisticated, but they're still sandals!

I wore the other outfit yesterday (I like to dress up for my tests) and felt trendy but sophisticated at the same time.  The jeggings (which I need to wear more) seem edgy, but the floral print shoes seem sweet.  Plus the top is just so cute (I know, I know... it's in my last blog post too...).   It was a comfy outfit for a Monday and gave me some extra pizzazz.

I love having time to blog, so I'll try to snap some more pictures of clothes soon.  I wish I could wear dresses, but those just aren't conducive with biking to class... *sigh*.  Maybe I'll rock one this weekend up in Shipshewana.

Have a great Tuesday!
