Oxfords & Stripes

Lots of new things in this outfit!

1. I'm wearing a tiered shirt. I never ever thought I would look good in a tiered shirt, but I tried this one on and actually liked it. So happy to change up my plain old racerback tank for something more fun. 

2. New shoes! Got these babies on sale for $30 at aldo :)

3. Feather extensions! Gave into this trend..and I love it. It's like a permanent accessory to spice up any outfit. 

Also, had to take these photos inside as I didn't have time during the day. Having studio lights on hand for late night outfit shoots is definitely a perk of being a photographer!

Remixed Mint Shorts

I'm back!...I'll eventually stop starting every post with that and actually blog regularly. Why does blogging get so hard when life gets a tad busier? I don't like it. Since my last post, I got an iPad. I tell you this because I was really hoping I'd be able to blog with it, but I haven't found a way yet. If anyone knows if there's an app that will let me post on my blog from my iPad, please let me know!

This outfit is kind of the result of me trying to stay somewhat fashionable when it's hot outside. I know I've said it before, but it is HARD. It seems like belts & jewelry are going to be redeeming many borderline-too-simple outfits this summer. Last time I wore these shorts, it was May and not warm at all. I think this is the first time I've shown something twice on my blog actually. Yay remixing! :)

Any tips to staying fashionable in the heat?

Pastel Love

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!

Feathers, Lace, & Combat Boots

 I know I literally just posted an outfit last night, but I'm currently waiting on the maintenance guy to come fix my blinds that I accidentally pulled down with my unknown hulk strength(ha, not really, they're just cheap), and he's an hour late and I'm bored out of my mind because I had to move/unplug my tv for him. What is with me and my run on sentences lately? Jeez. Anyways, this outfit's a bit more girly than I usually go, but I roughed it up with my seriously-in-need-of-repairs combat boots. It's to the point where I trip at least once every block because the sole is coming off at the front...yeah, I should probably get on that. 

I got these earrings recently at Forever 21 and I just love them. Forever 21 jewelry has been really great this season. I loved how they looked paired with the lace shoulder insets. Oh, and this has been my go to makeup recently. Loving a very slight smoky eye with navy eyeliner. Seems to go with everything too! Or at least I just say it does because I want to do it everyday.. :) Also, ignore the smudge of makeup on my hand..I seem to always have some kind of makeup on my hand I swear.

PS: Maintenance guy still isn't here. Come on, man!
