Top: J. Crew Outlet, $35
Wedges: Belk, $12

I've never cared to try the whole chambray and jeans thing.  Then yesterday as I was getting dressed in my go-to black skirt and chambray top, I felt the need to try the jeans. It's been a very jeans type of week.  Errryday.  What's been your go-to outfit?

Back to the Sunny Side


{Skirt: H&M, $17}
{Lace Top: Charlotte Russe, $7}
{Belt: Aeropostale, about 6 years ago...}
{Tights: Mom's from high school}
{Boots: thrifted, $4}
{Necklace: Puerto Rico, $20}

I apologize for my little rant yesterday- but hey, everybody has their days... to combat my bad days lately, here are some really great things that happened today:

  • I didn't rip these tights- well, I didn't rip them further. There are two neat little holes on the knees (I wore them backwards today) and they haven't run at alllll. Crazy.
  • I'm only 2 classes away from a Spanish minor- and I wasn't even trying.
  • I was gifted a gigantic jar of nutella Sunday night- which has since become my favorite thing ever.
  • There was a (lacrosse?) game going on right out side the window of my corporate finance class this afternoon- and they played 90s music for a large chunk of class. oh yessss.
  • Best friend from Canada told me she was sending me a package! Because she moved in the 8th grade- we've only seen each other 3 or 4 times since then. But seriously, I know I can always always always count on her. Now that's something awesome.

Well that's all for today. I hope you all are having a wonderful start to the week!

Am I the Only Person who Styles an Outfit Around One Piece of Jewelry?






What
Trouser Jeans: American Eagle
Maroon Tank: Abercrombie & Fitch
Lace Tank: Puerto Rican Market
Brown Jacket: Target
Leopard Flats: Target
Peacock Necklace: Puerto Rican Jewelry Store

Where
A typical Wednesday- work and classes

Why
I normally try really hard to be more creative than the whole jeans/top combo. But lately the weather has been throwing me a curve ball- It's pretty dang cold when I leave for morning classes, but by the time afternoon classes roll around it get HOT. If I were to wear a dress/skirt without tights I would freeze on the walk to class (OK, so it's not THAT cold, but for a displaced southerner counting down to summer it counts), but wearing tights in the afternoon when it's nice and sunny and warm would definitely warrant a few looks, understandably. So please bear with me as I work on being creative during this weird weather. It's easy to layer tops and jackets- but bottoms? Any suggestions?
