Cashmere Makes Everything Better

What I'm wearing: J.Crew sweater, Gap tee, Old Navy skinny jeans, Ciao Bella boots via DSW, Scarf via NYC street vendor, Forever 21 jewelry

I went to bed in an awful, awful mood last night. I realized I've been sending out cover letters for possible internships with a typo in the date line. This may not seem like a huge deal to some, but honestly, who wants to hire the girl who still thinks it's 2010?! So I went to bed cranky and upset, and woke up feeling the same way. And that just was NOT okay; I knew I had to turn my mood around. So I made myself some yummy french toast for breakfast, put on a bright and cozy cashmere sweater, treated myself to both of the items from yesterday's post that I had been considering buying, and took some outdoor outfit photos (taking a page out of Kendi's book with the parking garage backdrop). Are these the most effective/healthiest ways to make things better? Ehhh, probably not. But there's a little bit more pep in my step, and I'm ready to get down to business and apply for more internships. So who's offering to be my proofreader? Clearly, I need one!

Head Over Heels Heart Top

My mom probably just saw that post title and cringed. But no worries Mom, I haven't pulled out my credit card just yet. Although I AM rather tempted by this adorable top from Ruche. I've had this top bookmarked for almost two months now, thinking it would be perfect for Valentines Day. With my V-day plans (almost) solidified and the only size left in stock being mine, this top is calling my name. But then I pause, like the good shopper I am, and wonder how I would wear it. Considering its the middle of winter, a cardigan would definitely be in order. Jeans or a skirt? And then I remember I still really need to invest in a good black skirt, so jeans it is, I guess. I'm also hesitant about shopping online; there is nothing more frustrating than anticipating a package filled with pretty clothes just to have it arrive and not fit. It is a reasonable price, though. Then again, the Urban Outfitters on campus is having a big sale right now, so maybe I should go spend my (limited) dollars there. Thoughts? What would you do?
