Opposites Attract

For some reason when I wear a very feminine outfit, I feel the need to go in the opposite direction the next day. Example: these outfits. I love both, but if I had to choose to be more feminine or more masculine in how I dress, there's no doubt that I tend to gravitate towards my more masculine pieces. I just feel more myself in some kick-ass boots, black leather jacket, and jeans. What pieces do you feel most comfortable in?

PS - introducing my new hair color! The cooler seasons always make me want darker hair. :)

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. :)

I'm Back!

Woah, it's been awhile hasn't it?! Whoops. I didn't stop blogging on purpose, but I haven't exactly been dressing blog worthy either. I moved home a couple weeks ago for summer, and I just started unpacking my clothes a few days ago. Summer's supposed to be nice and relaxing, but so far mine's been go, go, go. It feels so good to finally get all my clothes sorted out and put away. It's only been about 2 weeks, but there's still a bit of a 'new clothes' feeling unpacking things I forgot I had. :)

Anyways, not a super original outfit, but I liked it and I needed to blog something so this was it! I forget about these boots all the time for some reason, but I love them. So did the random lady at Barnes & Noble who came up to me to tell me she thought they were awesome. Random stranger compliments are the best, aren't they?

P.S. - Welcome to my backyard! Haha. It was kind of dreary and rainy, but anything's better than taking pictures inside.

P.S.S. - My next post was my first photo shoot with my future roommate Mary of Undergrab Fab, and it was SO fun. I cannot wait to do it alll the time when we move into our apartment at the end of summer!!

As I was taking my outfit pictures, I saw this dewy plant and couldn't resist snapping a few photos of the water droplets so I thought I'd share some of the shots here. Would you like to see some of my photography once and a while on here, or should I keep it all fashion?

Equestrian Denim

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.
