Taking A Step Back

What I'm wearing: Forever 21 top, Old Navy skinny jeans, Ciao Bella boots via DSW, Target scarf, Forever 21 earrings

This morning I stood in front of my closet, on the verge of running late, and felt absolutely clueless. Nothing was jumping out at me, and I started to panic a little that I was never going to make it to class because I wasn't going to be able to decide on an outfit. I decided to step away and do my hair and makeup first, which isn't my normal routine. By the time I made it back to my closet, I felt much calmer and ended up loving the comfortable/casual combination I came up with. Sometimes, you just have to take a step back and not take it so seriously. Getting dressed in the morning should be fun. Now if only it would warm up so I can put on some bright colors. It just doesn't feel right to wear rainbow brights when it's so cold and gray outside, even if it is almost April. Who else is excited for all of the fun, bright colors that spring is bringing this year?

Spring Break Uniform

What I'm wearing: Forever 21 sweatshirt, Gap tee, Loft Outlet jeans, Sperrys, Forever 21 headband, UO earrings, Thrifted necklace

Spring break is here. Unfortunately, I'm not laying on a beach somewhere, but Cincinnati will have to do. We've had a couple of sunny days though which have been really nice. I've been wearing a variation of this outfit everyday--laidback and comfortable. No need to get fancy when I'm just hanging around the house catching up on Grey's Anatomy episodes and reading. I've also done a bit of shopping since I've been home; I've been able to cross quite a few things off my summer wishlist! Also, today is the last day of the family and friends event at Gap, BR, and Old Navy (30% off!), so make sure to check out your local stores!

Day 26 & 27- Comfy Chic

What I'm wearing: Forever 21 slouchy tee, Gap Always Skinny jeans, J.Crew flats, Vintage earrings, Forever 21 necklace, Forever 21 ring

I can't believe how soon Christmas is! My goal was to be done with the 30 for 30 by then, so I took some pictures of outfits I wore but never had a chance to photograph. I wore this earlier in the quarter for a study day when I wanted to be comfortable but stylish. I'm kind of in love with this slouchy top; it was one of my purchases from the huge Forever 21 in Times Square over the summer. It's baggy, yet shows the perfect amount of collarbone to look feminine. Jazz it up with some silver accessories, and you have a low-key, cute study outfit.

What I'm wearing: Gap tee, Gifted scarf, Gap Always Skinny jeans, J.Crew flats, Vintage earrings, Tiffany's bracelet (gifted)

I wore this outfit yesterday for just hanging around the house. I've been steadily getting ready for the holidays, wrapping presents and listening to the NSYNC Holiday Pandora station (it's the best!). This outfit was perfect for a day around the house, getting things finished. I'm kind of sad Christmas is so soon, because that means I'm running out of time to watch silly Christmas movies and listen to holiday music. It's always a little bit of a bummer when Christmas is over. Luckily, I still have three days left to use up my holiday cheer, which will include making Rice Krispie houses with the boyfriend tonight and forcing him to watch Christmas movies with me. How are you planning to use up the rest of your holiday spirit?

Day 3- Midterm Madness

Goodness gracious, I can't remember the last time I was this stressed. Midterm season is upon us, and it is definitely getting to me. I spent my morning at the library working on a group project (which half the group didn't show up for... the reason I HATE group projects), and the rest of my day has been spent buried in my accounting textbook, getting ready for my exam tomorrow. SO ready for the weekend!

What I'm wearing: Forever 21 hoodie, Old Navy long sleeved tee, Gap Always Skinny jeans, Ciao Bella boots via DSW, Forever 21 flower pin

This outfit was perfect for a morning at the library: cute but comfortable. It was tempting to just throw on yoga pants and a sloppy sweatshirt, but I decided to put in a little more effort. Also, I really wanted to find a way to wear this flower pin that I picked up a few weeks ago at F21. It was the perfect addition to an otherwise "blah" sweatshirt. Okay, well back to the books I go. Have a good weekend everyone!
