Scarfbelt & Wedges

So, I'm not going to lie, this outfit is from a few weeks ago. For some reason, I've been off my styling game lately. I've even been shopping quite a bit, but then my new stuff just sit there because I don't have the energy to style them. I think I'm just ready for fall. I've been seeing a few fall inspiration/fall line posts, and they're making me so excited to be able to layer again. I miss my layers!

Anyways, I wore this outfit to a performance of the musical I stage managed this summer. Where my theater geeks at?? I love stage managing, but it doesn't hurt that I get to dress up for each performance :) When I first chose this outfit, it didn't have the scarfbelt added yet, but I thought it needed a little more color so I tied this scarf as a belt!

Gotta love the magic of photoshop! Setting up a tripod and snapping my 2 go-to poses gets old real fast so I thought I'd do something a little different for these outfit photos, and have some editing fun. I don't know what's with my blog drought lately, but I don't like it. I can tell that it's affecting my style too. Usually when I don't blog as much, I'm not reading as many blogs either. Which ultimately leads to feeling a lack of inspiration when I get dressed. Enough I say! I'm so over it. Funny how lacking a bit of style for a week makes you realize how good it feels to absolute love an outfit.

Okay, enough rambling! I wore this outfit to class in Chicago. I've noticed that my Milwaukee > Chicago commute outfits are all about layers. The weather can be totally different even though they're really not all that far apart. This outfit was all about mixing patterns/textures. Lace+Denim+Pattern = a super easy throw-on-at-5am outfit(yes, 5am. I wish I was kidding about that).

And now a random shot I took while taking these in my backyard. I just love how everything looks after it rains.

I was so excited to be able to wear a practically sleeveless shirt today that I went into full spring mode and added some pink pants and wedges. This outfit has so many of my favorite spring trends: denim(well..faux denim), colorful jeans, wedges, bright nail polish, feathers(earrings). I love it :) My roommate who takes all my outfit photos said this is her favorite one since she's been taking my photos so we decided to make the photo session a little more fun and went outside to my favorite alley. Yes, I have a favorite alley. As a photography major, good lighting is something I'm always looking for, and this alley right next to my building always has awesome lighting so I come back to it all the time.

I can't believe I'm moving out of Chicago in 2 weeks already! Although I love this city, I am excited to go back to Milwaukee. I've come to realize that, as excited as I was to live in the hustle and bustle of Chicago, living right in the middle of the city is just not as fun as I expected. More of a hassle most of the time actually. I'm just happy that I'll still be visiting this awesome city a couple days a week for classes. Best of both worlds for sure :)

  

Woah, my paleness has reached a new level this year. Yikes!

Hi guys! I'm so happy I got to take some photos outside today. My friend Alex who's also a photography major took these for me today :) Check out his photo blog here. Thanks Alex! I got these riding pants/leggings from Zara a long time ago, and this the first time I've worn them. Shame on me! They're really comfortable and warm, but for some reason I found it kind of difficult to figure out what to pair them with. What would you wear with them? Also, you can see in the 2nd picture after this text that my sleeve button thingy is unbuttoned. I love this denim shirt but the buttons come undone ALL the time. Might have to sew up the holes a tiny bit or something.
