Day 8- A Pop of Leopard Print


day 8

BFF-2

BFF-3
What I'm wearing: Old Navy tee, H&M sweater dress, Ciao Bella boots via DSW, Target scarf, Forever 21 belt, Target tights, Vintage earrings via Talk of the Town

I've officially run out of clean jeans in my 30 for 30, so today I decided to wear this H&M sweater dress. I paired it with my leopard print scarf from Target. I originally bought this scarf for my Halloween costume, but I knew I would get use out of it in everyday life. I really liked this look overall; it was nice to step out of my jeans rut for a day. On a separate note, I'm super excited to head back to Cincinnati tomorrow to spend time with family. Is any one else already plotting out their routes for Black Friday shopping? I had a dream last night I slept through Black Friday and missed all the shopping. I woke up super relieved it was just a dream haha. Clearly, I'm more excited for Friday than I am for Thanksgiving: a true sign of a shopaholic.

Day 8- Lazy Bones

After working 40 hour weeks for 2 months in NYC, I was more than happy to come home and do nothing. As my boyfriend would put it, I've been a "lazy bones". But after almost two weeks of laziness, I'm starting to drive myself a little nuts. I'm thinking I need a little project to keep me busy. Do any of you have any good "Do-It-Yourself" ideas? You would be saving me from becoming a complete couch potato.






What I'm wearing: Gap tee, Gap Always Skinny jeans, Banana Republic outlet sandals, Forever 21 scarf, Earrings from NYC street vendor festival

The second to last weekend I had in New York, I went to Magnolia Bakery. On my walk there, I stumbled across a little street festival going on. It had tons of booths of people selling jewelry, clothes, and food. I walked away with some $5 earrings and bangles, and I think this pair is my favorite. They look like something I would buy at my favorite vintage store, but at a much lower price. As soon as I put on this scarf, I knew it was the perfect excuse to finally bust out these earrings. I have been feeling a little stumped by this 30 for 30 challenge lately. I'm hoping once I get out of my lazy rut, the creative juices will start flowing again. I sure hope so, because I'm not even 1/3 of the way done yet!
