Day 9: Haphazard

What I'm wearing: Urban Outfitters maxi dress, J.Crew outlet chambray shirt, Target scarf and sandals, Forever 21 belt, Vintage earrings

Without fail, every time I do a 30 for 30, I come up with new layering combinations. And while this look seems a little haphazard and kind of reminds me of something my crazy high school art teacher would have worn, I like that I'm trying new things. Also, this backdrop is the lobby of my new (and very temporary) apartment. Isn't it cute?

Day 5: Gems and Gelato

What I'm wearing: J.Crew outlet chambray button-down and skirt, J.Crew flats, Forever 21 necklace, Coach outlet clutch

When my family was in town this weekend, we ventured over to Little Italy for dinner. And no trip to Little Italy is complete without a trip to Ferrara. It's an adorable little bakery with delicious gelato. My brother and I each got a mini cannoli and the whole family got gelato...yum! It was already dark by the time we met up for dinner, so these pictures aren't the best, but I really liked my outfit. The tied-up chambray is a new look for me, but I like how it turned out. And this necklace always adds the perfect amount of glitz to an outfit, even if its just a plain chambray shirt. What a gem! That's what I love about the 30 for 30...it forces you to think outside the box and try out new outfit combinations and styles. So far, it's been smooth sailing (although we'll see how I feel around day 15)! Also, I was featured on collegefashionista.com today! You can check it out here!

A Second Chance

What I'm wearing: J.Crew outlet chambray button-down, Loft Outlet jeans, Steve Madden moccasins (2007), J.Crew outlet scarf (gift), Earrings via NYC street vendor

Tania wasn't the only one in the mood for some Canadian tuxedo today. What can I say? This shirt is quickly becoming one of my go-to's. I wore it here, as well as countless times that weren't documented on the blog. I think the reason I like it so much is because it's a great blank canvas for accessorizing. I found these shoes while I was cleaning my closet out over break, and I decided they needed to make the trip back to school with me. They were old favorites from high school, and with spring being all about color this year, I decided they needed a second chance at shoe-life. Now if only they were a little bit more comfortable...
