Wearing White.




**I didn't do so well on outfit posts this time. haha. No detail shots or anything, but I place full blame on my camera dying- yes, again. And the last picture- I hardly even touched the colors, so I have no idea how it came out like this when I took it in broad daylight. However, I really like it :)

What
Dress: Urban Outfitters, $20
Cardigan: Charlotte Russe, $18
Sandals: Gap, $20
Earrings: Target, pack of 3 for $8

Where
Classes and work

Why
I know that most people say its bad to wear white after labor day. But sometimes I just have those days where I could care less about what other people say. Today was one of those days. It was warm and beautiful and I love my new dress, so I just paired it with this long and flowy navy cardigan to make it not quite so summery. Does anyone else love to wear things, even though they technically are a no-no?

Sneak Peek


So, I actually do have my 30 for 30 finished, however, since school has started, finding opportunities to get pictures has been much more difficult. So... instead of waiting until I can get those particular outfits photographed, here is one of the outfits I wore after finishing the project.

Sorry for the singular picture... my camera would die, seriously right after taking this.

What
Dress (worn as skirt): Target, $20
Top: Rue 21, $3
Flats: Old Navy, $9
Belt: Vintage, my mom's
Earrings: Puerto Rican Store, $12

Where
Class

Why
The whole 30 for 30 thing got me thinking about different ways to wear each item. So, today I just folded down the stretchy top of the dress and wore it as a skirt. I have to say, I was pretty proud of myself... even if it wasn't a super ingenuitive new trend or anything :)

Oh Happy Day (26!)


This was my photographer for the weekend :)

What
Dress (worn as skirt): ShopMamie.com, $30
Top: Target, $7
Sandals: Forever 21, $18
Belt: NY and Co., $4
Necklace: Lucky, $30

Where
Primanti's for lunch, and then to take a walk around the nature reserve on campus.

Remember how as a little kid you would jump of random closets, rooms, under beds, etc. to scare your friends? Well, I never grew out of that. Seriously, any of my friends can tell you, I'm constantly creeping around and popping out to scare people. For some reason, it makes me laugh just as hard as it did when I was a kid. So today, I got the bright idea to set a self timer on my camera with the intention of catching my work on film. Seriously I was SO excited about actually catching one of my surprise scares (I'm a dork, I know) However, when I jumped out from behind the corner, Greg (the boyfriend) reacted differently then I expected. Honestly, I never, ever, EVER do the whole kissing pictures thing. But I couldn't help but post this accident one, it makes me smile.

Why Yes, I'm Counting This One


What
Skirt: Target, $3
Top: Forever 21, $7
Sandals: Forever 21, $18
Necklace: gift
Belt: Target, $12

Why
The other day as I was getting together my final 30 for 30 picks, I put together this exact. same. outfit. When I realized I had posted it before I was a little disappointed, but I wanted to wear it again, so I did. And since I did, I feel no guilt/shame/etc. in reposting and counting it towards one of my 30. Yay for outfits you love so much you want to wear again and again!

Oh Yes... Number 24

Remember this picture from the last post? Sadly, it's the only picture of outfit number 24 I have... Ok, lie- I do have ONE full length picture... but it's pretty bad, so this is all I have to share.

In this outfit that you can only half see- I am wearing:
Skirt: J.Crew Outlet, $18
Top: Forever 21, $8
Sandals: Forever 21, $18
Necklace: Forever 21, $5

Sorry for the lack of pictures... The last five looks will be well documented, that I can promise :)
