Falling

Top:: Circus Bear Vintage

Skirt:: Thrifted

Shoes:: Payless

Sunglasses:: Rayban

It's almost here....FALL! Whoopee! Finally it has cooled down enough to wear long sleeves and thicker layers. I have been waiting a long time to wear this outfit combo because it has just been too darn hot around here. Both the skirt and the blouse are really thick and heavy fabrics so it definitely wasn't justifiable to wear during summer. The colors are perfect for fall too.

The only downside of fall is back to school. Now that I have graduated I have become pretty depressed about never going back to school again. I could always go to graduate school, and I might some day, but for now its just not financially possible. I really miss school; the classrooms, the note-taking, the outfit planning. It all sounds a bit silly typing it out but I really do miss these things!

Anyways, I hope everyone has a great weekend and school goes well for those who are still attending!

Necklace:: Gift

Ok. When did TJ Maxx get all these amazing dresses? I went there the other day and found two dresses I absolutely adored, and considering I'm a VERY picky shopper, that is a big deal. Anyways, the other night we went on a walk around campus and did some nighttime shots, so please excuse the lighting if it bothers you. Campus has a lot of interesting places to take photos that I have never really considered. I guess after four years of seeing the place everyday I overlooked it's beauty.

The weather here in Oregon is starting to cool down; what a relief, however I can still get away with going out without a sweater. 

I forgot to take better shots of my shoes, but I promise they're really cute (grey oxfords!). Oh well, another time.

Shorts: Hot Topic

Belt: Abercrombie & Fitch

Shoes: (don't remember!)

Jewelry: Nordstrom

Oh my, what another hot day here in Corvallis! I love this summer weather but deep down inside I am secretly ready for fall to be here. The layers and pea-coats get me all excited for new outfit possibilities and combinations. 

While typing out what I wore I looked at the clash of brands and stores each piece in this outfit came from. It really goes to show that you do not need to limit your style to shopping at certain stores; it is all about what speaks to you. I have never been one to follow 'scenes' and have gotten flack for shopping at both Hot Topic and Abercrombie & Fitch- but I really don't care where I get my clothes. If I like something, I get it. This simple summer outfit exemplifies this.

Denim on Denim

Hello all! Hope your July is nice and toasty! My fourth of July consisted of BBQ, family, veggie burgers and hula-hoops! Here is what I wore:

OK so confession: This top isn't really denim! Its a super soft light-weight cotton that simply looks like denim. For the fourth, which wasn't too hot, this outfit was perfect. Light, airy and comfy. Don't you just love my watch? It was a graduation gift from my boyfriend (Michael Kors!) ! Opal was very adamant about hanging out the back door watching my every move while taking these photos! Cutie!

How was your fourth of July? Is it overly hot where you are?

A winter day in an itchy sweater!

This day my boy and I went out with our baby Opal for some fun in the winter sun! It hasn't been sunny in Corvallis in weeks and this day we needed to get out and take advantage of that vitamin D. This wasn't really supposed to be an "outfit post" (Im not a fan of those) but I kind of posed like it was one!

I don't know if you've ever heard the phrase "put a bird on it" but that basically is the running motto of my life. haha Portlandia. I feel like mother nature when there's a bird in my hair! All I did was take a bird and nest decoration from the craft store and hot-glue them to a piece of felt, and then glue that to an over-sized bobby-pin, and VOILA! you look like a crazy lady!

Work it: What I wore today.

Hello All! Hope the end of August went well for you all! After my birthday on August 14th  I have been focused on work, adventures and well- relaxing! Its been awesome, but I honestly cannot wait until school is back in session. I will be a senior!

Anyways, here is what I wore today. Dress look familiar? I also wore it to crystal castles- and possibly is featured other places on this blog. Probably because it is one of my favorites. it fits me like a vintage glove!

 Isnt the pattern of this dress wicked?!

I love this lightening bolt hair clip I made last year.

And this is my newest tattoo! 50th anniversary of the Spaceneedle represent!

Peace, <3 & (A)-

What Shoes Should I Wear!?

My birthday is coming up on Sunday and I have the dress I want to wear but cannot find the right shoes. I will be going out to dinner and bar hopping so stilettos and platforms are out. But I need something that will not make me look short! Plain ballet flats seem to cut my feet off and make my legs look extra short! Any suggestions?

I'm thinking maybe my black gladiator-type sandals? Y/N?
