Things I can't stop wearing this summer:

1. Loose wavy hair- so easy!  It only takes me 10 minutes in the morning!!
2. My mom's vintage belt and purse. Classics.
3. My swap items from Ramsey!  That girl sent me scarves, belts, tops, jewelry a skirt, and a jacket! 
4. Fun nail polish.  I never do my nails during the school year... But now? Blue, mango, red, fushia, lime-  Just to name a few
5. Dresses and skirts.  The other day my boyfriends mom asked me if I owned a pair of jeans.  The answer is yes.  Too many.  But I just can't make myself wear them when the weather is this nice! 

Early Morning Barista

{Dress: Outlet, $2o}{Vest: Charlotte Russe, $15}{Unseen tights: Target}

{Oxfords: Urban Outfitters}

At my job I get unlimited free coffee plus 1 free specialty drink per shift. I like to experiment with flavors, but today I made a white chocolate raspberry mocha. yum.

This is not an attempt at a sultry face. This was the "is that a ghost face." No, seriously. I got to the coffeehouse (oldest building on campus- 1886) while it was still dark this morning. Also, I was the only one there. ALSO, everyone on campus swears its haunted. Yes, I am a scaredy cat.

Lately I've kind of been slacking on my day-to-day routine, hair/face wise that is. Recently I've just let my hair air dry and do whatever it wants, which isn't a problem since it dries stick straight anyways. I usually go to bed with it wet and then the next morning just put on some foundation, eyeliner, and mascara. Literally, I'm generally out the door in 15 minutes flat. However, when running super late I have been known to cut this routine down to just 4 minutes. It's been getting old though, so today I just gave myself an extra 20 minutes to put some waves in my hair and pick out a non-jeans outfit (Although none of my full length pictures turned out). Odd, I used to hardly ever wear jeans this much. I guess that's what college does to you though.

Anyways, after I got off work at noon I went thrifting. Oh man, I hit jackpot. I got

1. Hot pink vintage blazer and skirt set (That actually fits great!)
2. Basic fitted black blazer
3. Blue and white seersucker skirt
4. Black chiffon mini skirt with tiny polka dots from express
5. Short-sleeve vintage printed top
6. Oversized cable-knit sweater
7. Leopard print top (I've been looking for a good one!)
8. Ann Taylor LOFT basic orange tee
9. The CUTEST polka dot dress (although it needs a teeny bit of work)
10. Navy blazer
11. White and navy printed blouse

All for a grand total of.... $30.

I'm so proud.

30 for 30 items tomorrow!

Where

Shopping and taking fun pictures on the lawn during vacation on the Outer Banks

Why

I try to exercise and be healthy, but I'm not afraid to eat ice cream too, so I honestly am one of those people that are fairly happy with their size... until I go shopping and the last remaining item that I fall in love with is not my size. Then I usually wish I was whatever size needed to fit into that item. Usually when this happens I just sigh and walk away, but every once and awhile that thing comes home with me anyways... such was the case with these shorts. They seriously fit perfect in everywhere but the high waist. For $6, a long shirt covers the too tight waist just fine :)

Smalltown, USA

What

Dress: Rue 21, $2

Vest: TJ Maxx, 50¢

Heels: Rue 21, $2

Belt: Old Navy, $4

Earrings: Puerto Rican Market, $12

Sunglasses: Rue 21, $5

Where

Work and just a tiny bit of shopping. Usually it's physically impossible for for me to use "tiny bit" and "shopping" in the same sentence- but for $26 I got 2 dresses, 2 tops, a cardigan and a green cargo jacket at Old Navy. Gotta love sales :)

Why

So this isn't even the post office I use, but sometimes I pass it on the way to work, and I love how little and cute it is. It's alot like the town where I live. You can count on your neighbors for anything, and friends are as good as family. I have to admit, as much as I love traveling and going to school up North, at the end of the day nothing is better than my good ol' Southern home :)
