Junior year is officially underway. I started school Tuesday, and basically hit the ground running. This year I'm taking: AP Writing, AP US History, Honors Chemistry, Pre-Calc, Women's Vocal Chamber & Latin IV. I was nervous the whole summer about starting school(especially because of my APs), but honestly my classes really aren't that bad. It's just a lot of work...a TON of work but I'll manage.

What To Wear.

Possible outfit for the first day of classes (September 8th) a.k.a: the "real" first day of school.

black faux leather motocycle vest: target

white v-neck: american apparel

blue & black bandage skirt: h&m
black & gold belt: forever 21

gold hoop earrings: claire's

pink/black/silver magnet bead bracelet: grandma

gold pendant necklace: forever21

not really sure on shoes, suggestions?

First day of school begins in a few hours, it should be...interesting. I didn't work at orientation this year so I don't know the new kids quite yet. We're going on a trip to some state park, so it should be good, hopefully.

Lazy Saturday;

Hmm, not much happened today. I went to The Cheesecake Factory (amazing food - I love the fried macaroni balls), the mall, and Target. I'm currently broke so I didn't buy ANYTHING, there's always next time though.

*I wore my shirt untucked while I was out but I saw the belt at home and figured I'd try tucking in*





black & white buffalo plaid shirt: old navy
light wash dollhouse denim shorts: kohls
gold gladiator sandals: marshalls
printed scarf: banana republic
medium brown belt: no idea.
bracelets: grandpa
gold pendant necklace: forever 21
black & gold rose earrings: forever 21

Hey There :)

Hello, hello, hello. I know I've been a terrible blogger lately but July & August have been super hectic. Between work, shopping, reading, and trying to make time with friends/family, updating hasn't been one of my top priorities! I'm back now though, and that's all that matters, emirite?

Although I've been gone, I have been keeping up with outfit pictures even though I generally haven't been wearing anything substantial - my work uniform consisted of my 'staff' tee shirt, shorts, sandals, and assorted accessories. For example, my outfit for the last day of work:


work tee shirt: from the boss
black nike dry-fit spandex: dick's sporting goods
black patent sandals: target
pink & white animal print scarf (tied into a bow): banana republic
stack of bracelets: grandpa
heart pendant necklace: forever 21
large gold hoop earrings: claire's
flat-top shades: wetseal

The last day we had a pirate themed carnival so I figured wearing hoop earrings and a scarf would be appropriate. On a whim, I tied the scarf off into a bow and it turned out looking really great. It's cute but not too "cutesy" if you know what I mean.

Next up is one outfit worn in 3 different situations. I'm usually not one to do that but I just love this particular outfit THAT much.

UNO.

Finally, I have yesterday's & today's outfits. Sunday I went into Queens to see my cousins and take my younger brother back home to Dirty Jerz; the day was hot but relaxing.

And those are the shades that I will now be wearing ALL summer.
