One of those Saturdays...

Jeans: TJ Maxx, $20

T-Shirt: Hanes, 3 for $10

Rainboots: Kate Spade, $109

Umbrella: Aerie, $5

Necklace: gift

Where

Lounging around, then out to eat with my parents

Why

As much as I love dressing up, sometimes I just need those jeans/t-shirt/ponytail days. Although I normally wouldn't post about this, I figured I would anyways. After all, everybody has off days every once and a while :)

Pink Zebra

What

Jeans: TJ Maxx, $20

Top: Polo Ralph Lauren Outlet, $9

Boots: Kate Spade, $109 (My biggest splurge to date)

Trench: Kristin Davis for Belk's, gift

Necklace: American Eagle $7

Where

Classes and a study group

Why

Sorry for the lack of blogging lately. This Monday starts our last week of classes and my professors sure aren't making it any easier. I've had more exams and presentations in these last weeks before finals than any other time. Ugh. I believe I'll be doing a post on 'How to look good after and all-nighter' for Thursday beauty day. Until then, here's my casual look for the rainy day. Have a good week everyone :)

Black and Blue All Over

What

Skirt: Target ($2)

Top: Target ($12)

Belt: NY & Company ($4)

Rainboots: Shoe Carnival ($30)

Ring: Charlotte Russe ($4)

Where

Classes and work

On a side note, I'm excited for summer so that I'll have more places to go than just class and work- bring on the day trips!

Why

Sometimes, ok- often actually, I get so obsessed with a particular item that I often neglect other pieces. Such was the case with my Kate Spade rainboots. They're one of my only "splurges" and I find myself reaching for them every time rain is so much as predicted. Although this is all well and good, I wanted to bring out my zebra print wellies today. With the crazy print they're a bit more fun, and I have to admit, wearing them makes me want to go out and do fun things.

The Boots... Yet Again

What
Top: Old Navy
Vest: Old Navy
Belt: New York and Company
Jeans: TJ Maxx
Boots: Kate Spade

Where
To class, cleaning up my wreck of a room, and running errands to start filling up a storage unit with college stuff (hurry up summer!)

Why
I almost always wear these boots with a black and white skirt or dress. Although I really want to start mixing them up with some other fun colors for Spring, today was one of those "blah" days thanks to lovely economics at 8:30 AM (sarcasm if you can't tell). Oh well, this is a pretty nice combo for a casual day.

A Rainy Day... Finally!

What
Dress: TJ Maxx
Tank: Old Navy
Tights: WeLoveColors
Trench: Old Navy
Scarf: Old Navy
Boots: Kate Spade
Belt: New York and Company
Umbrella: Aerie
Earrings: Claire's

Where
Classes, board meeting, and jumping through the puddles : )

Why
Rain has been forecasted almost everyday for the past week, so everyday I specifically picked out an outfit that coordinated with the boots; but everyday the rain didn't come, and the boots had to stay in my (large) bookbag. Today I finally gave up and picked out khaki pants and flats- NOT a rainy day outfit. What happened? It rained. So I threw on this dress/tights combo. It's not the most creative outfit, but I love this boots so much that anything I put on with them feels good. Next rainy day I want to mix up the colors a bit. I saw these boots on the katespade website with a black and white striped skirt, kelly green raincoat, and bright knee-socks... so cute! What do you wear to stay cute in the rain?

Side Note: Rainy days are just about the only time that I am so incredibly thankful for my frizz-free, stick straight hair.
