First Day of School!

Sleeveless cardigan (B.P. Nordstroms), basic T (B.P. Nordstroms), striped bandeau (Forever 21-H81), leggings (Forever 21), fringed boots (Steve Madden/Nordstroms)

For the first day of school I wanted to wear something casual because it's only school, but dress up a little for the sake of putting on a good impression. Plus, who doesn't like to dress up on the first day of school?!

I have a thing for laced backings! I love it because it just adds a little "oomph" if your outfit is plain, or can just compliment an outfit that's already nice.

I know some people hate wearing leggings alone like that, but as long as you keep the crotch hidden it'll be all good! Hahaha.

These boots are my ultimate favorite because it's so comfy, and I don't really like wearing flats/sandals all the time. I don't know why on earth any girl would go to school in heels.. but hey, if that makes you feel confident than go for it! (: I personally feel awkward because everyone else is dressed down!

Good luck to everyone who is starting a new semester! And to all that's been in school this would be a good everyday look also.

Happy New Year!

Okay, I know I'm really late on this. Like 15 days late hahaha, but here is my first post of 2011!

White blouse (Forever 21), Black high waisted shorts (H&M), Blazer (Forever 21), Belt (Forever 21), Heels (Nordstroms/Prada)

So it was one of my bestfriend's birthday recently and went out for dinner last night. We all decided to come dressy/casual. I decided to wear my black high waisted shorts because being high waisted to me makes it dressy without having to be a skirt. No one can go wrong with a white button up because you can wear it in so many ways! I completed the look with a thick brown belt and a blazer, so it wouldn't look so plain.

I really should stop wearing my watch all the time because it seems to kill the look, but I can't help feeling naked without it! ):

I hope everyone is enjoying their new year so far!
