Day 1: Balancing Act

Lately, I've been having the hardest time striking a balance between work and fun. This quarter has been a killer, and I can't seem to be able to get everything done while still having fun and enjoying myself. These pictures were taken yesterday at the mall (I didn't buy anything, promise!) while helping the boyfriend pick out some new jeans while avoiding homework. And then because I procrastinated all day yesterday, I'm buried under a pile of homework today. Oh, the life of a college student. So so so ready for break to be here! 33 days!

What I'm wearing: Gap striped tee, Loft knit cardigan, Forever 21 scarf, J.Crew outlet jeans, J.Crew flats, Pink Box earrings, Forever 21 ring, Kate Spade outlet tote

Graeters Icecream- If you aren't from Ohio, you are seriously missing out! So delicious!

Day 1 of my 30 for 30 is complete! I know this outfit isn't the most exciting thing ever, but I wanted something comfy and warm for shopping, since part of the mall was outside. Do you like my nail polish? Its the shade Jade from Forever 21, and its holding up surprisingly well for costing $2.80. I had to include the close-up to prove to my mom that this polish is cute after all, since she gave me quite the incredulous look when I picked it up on Friday. See Mom? I knew what I was talking about.

Day 1- Topsy Turban

After a rather complicated trip back from NYC, I am finally home safe and sound. And you know what that means? Time to start my 30 for 3o challenge! The rules are: pick 30 items of clothing, including shoes, and only wear those items for 30 days. Another big rule- NO SHOPPING for the 30 days. I'm interpreting this as meaning no clothes/accessory shopping. I'm currently getting ready to move into an apartment for the first time, so some home shopping will be necessary. I will be posting my thirty items tomorrow, but here is my first outfit in the challenge...

Occasion: Running errands and getting organized
What I'm wearing: Target tank dress, Thrifted silk scarf, Vintage clock necklace via Talk of the Town Vintage, Earrings via The Pink Box (Cincinnati), Merona sandals via Target

Today was spent running to Target, hitting up the public library, picking up my brother from football practice, and trying to get my room cleaned and organized. After not living at my parents' house since December, its been quite a task. Therefore, I needed something easy and comfortable to wear today. I had been wanting to try this turban/headscarf look ever since Jessica of WhatIWore posted a tutorial on how to make it. It turned out pretty cute, but next time I think I will try it with a scarf that isn't so silky because it kept slipping all day. I'm having a little anxiety trying to narrow down my other 28 items, but I will definitely have them posted by tomorrow. Any tips from all of the 30 for 30 pros out there? Congrats to everyone who has finished their challenge!
