Day 14- Putting On The Glitz

Last night, I attended a fundraiser for the fashion student organization at my school. It was a great evening filled with friends, fabulous clothes, and fashiontinis (our very own fashion martini!). The theme was "Putting on the Glitz", so a sparkly dress was a must. I swapped this little number into my 30 items in exchange for my navy American Apparel skirt which I have yet to wear during the challenge.

What I'm wearing: Love 21 dress, Target tights, Target booties, Forever 21 necklace, Vintage earrings

The formal wear segment of the show

This is the first sequined dress I've ever owned, and I had a lot of fun wearing it. The only drawback? The sequins were rather scratchy and gave me a rash all over my arms. Thankfully, I have some different ideas of how to wear it later in the challenge, so stay tuned! I'm almost halfway through the challenge; this is where things start to get a little interesting. Next week is finals week, so bear with me through some comfy, casual outfits. How is everyone else feeling about the challenge so far?

Day 14- Collegiate Roadtrip

Yesterday I took a little trip up to my university with my boyfriend to pick up our football tickets for the upcoming season and hang out for the day. It was really nice to be back, and it was a beautiful day. I forgot how gorgeous our campus is in the late summer/early fall. I'm excited to do some outfit photos around campus this year, as long as I can find a willing photographer or get really good at the self-timer/tripod set up.

What I'm wearing: Target dress, H&M blazer, Merona sandals via Target, Earrings from NYC street vendor

I have to give Natalie from Pocket of Presh some credit for my jacket choice. I saw her wearing this same blazer over on her blog, and it totally reminded me that I had included this in my 30 items and had yet to wear it. This blazer is probably my favorite H&M purchase I have ever made. I was glad the weather was a little cooler yesterday so I could wear it and not be sweating my butt off. Between the weather and the good company, it was a really great day and made me excited to move back there in less than a month!
