Sheer Love

For some reason, these leggings get a lot of looks every time I wear them. It's not exactly normal to have (faux) leather paneling on leggings, but are they really that different?? I'm always so surprised at just how many people stare at these things! Whether they're staring because they love them or hate them, I love these leggings so much. They're just a great way to spice up any simple outfit.

I think this top is now my third or fourth sheer button up top. They're so easy to throw on for a warmer fall day. And I told you I couldn't stop wearing these boots. They go with everything. Can't stop, won't stop.

Also, thanks to my mom who took these in the middle of making dinner because the sun was going down super fast. Thanks mom!

Grunge Inspired

This outfit is much more casual/disheveled that I normally post, but that's kind of why I wanted to post it. I don't know why, but I've always loved the whole grunge look. Maybe it's going to an art school of 95% hipsters or maybe it's my inner rocker wanting to come out, but every once I feel the need to let my style get a bit edgy. I kept it semi-feminine with the color and jewelry, but otherwise kept my ensemble all black in typical rocker fashion.

I also tend to stray away from posting outfits where my hair is up because I tend to look bald, but I did some profile shots to show you that I do indeed have hair back there, haha. And I'm wearing my glasses for once. Pretty rare because I hate not being able to wear sunglasses, but I do love my glasses.

Oh, and I took these photos in the little studio set up I have in my house for senior pictures I shoot and whatnot. I couldn't avoid getting the bottom of my fancy backdrop(aka sheet nailed to the wall..) in the full body shots but that's okay. :)

Red, Black, & Cutoffs

I know these pictures aren't my usual quality, but I was determined to post this outfit! Not because it's super groundbreaking for me or anything, just a bit different from my usual look. I've always loved the whole cutoffs and tights look, but I never seem to think of it when I'm trying to figure out what to wear for the day. I'm glad I finally thought to try it out though. Great way to keep wearing shorts a bit longer with the cooler weather!

I wore this outfit to class and then to a Hanson concert(yes, that Hanson). I know you're judging right now, but all I can say is to look up some of their new stuff(I suggest 'Give a Little' or 'Thinkin' Bout Somethin''). You won't be disappointed :) I was also staying at my friend's place in Chicago, hence the new background. 

One more thing: these boots are kind of my new obsession. I got then at TJ Maxx(I think..) and they're Dirty Laundry brand. I've always loved boots, but the wood heel and red laces make these different enough that I have to stop myself from wearing them everyday, ha.
