Color Cravings

What I'm wearing: Zara top, J.Crew outlet cropped pants, J.Crew flats, NY & Co. outlet necklace, Coach bag

Outfit pictures two days in a row! This hasn't happened in what feels like FOREVER! This top was one of the items in my first ever Zara purchase. I went shopping on Monday while everyone else in the city was either out of town or celebrating the fourth, which made for ideal shopping conditions. Quiet and relaxed, without all the crowds...my favorite kind of shopping! I bought this top, a pair of red jeans, and a colorblocked sweater for Fall. I've been craving color this season, and Zara has some wonderful bright colored pieces right now. Although I must admit, I'm not totally sold on the jeans. I've been conditioned to think that girls with butts and thighs should stick to dark-wash blue denim...what are your thoughts on the matter? Do you own colored jeans?

Going Green

Guess what? It's almost the weekend! I cannot wait to head home to Cincinnati to celebrate my dad's birthday. Things I'm looking forward to: Cake!(duh), getting a haircut, doing a little shopping, digging through our old Halloween decorations to steal some for my apartment, and most of all just spending time with family. I know that as soon as I get back to campus on Sunday, the stress and madness will all start up again, so I'm going to enjoy the little break while I can.

What I'm wearing: Heritage 1981 shirt via Forever 21, J.Crew outlet cardigan, Banana Republic outlet jeans, Nine West boots, Vintage bracelet, Urban Outfitters earrings

I went through a phase while I was in NYC where everything I bought was green, and this shirt was a product of that obsession. This wasn't the original outfit I had planned for today, but sometimes my ideas don't always translate the way I want them to. I had to get to the accounting tutor center this morning (have I mentioned how much I HATE accounting?), so I frantically got dressed and did my hair/makeup in twenty minutes. That's quite the feat for me. And I even had enough time to do outfit pictures. What a productive day!
