Daily Uniform

This outfit wasn't anything particularly great, but I just got a remote for my camera so I just had to take outfit photos to try it out. It is SO much easier to take my outfit pictures by myself now so expect more posts :) This has been my daily uniform for the last few weeks. With school and my internship, it's quickest for me to just throw on some jeans, boots, a sweater, and some jewelry.

I've really been loving putting camel and turquoise together lately too. They compliment each other perfectly, and I have way too much turquoise jewelry so the combo is super easy for me.

Also, these boots. I got them at Target because they reminded me of the Steve Madden Banddit boots at about 1/5 of the price. Obviously the quality's not amazing and I'd still love to own the Steve Maddens, but I've been wearing them constantly. They're super comfortable, and since they're not real leather/only $40, I can walk right through the snow without a care.

PS - Ignore my camera in the mirror in some of the photos. That's what happens when you have an assortment of giant mirrors in your living room. Also, our mini Christmas tree has since been taken down :)

Blogger Secret Santa Gift & Christmas Outfit!

This post is a little overdue, but better late than never!

I participated in Mary, my roommate, and Viktoria's blogger secret santa this year and it was so fun! I got these great earrings and scarf from Sarah of The House That Ag Built. The earrings were a bit out of my comfort zone since I usually stick to small earrings, but I really love them! They were the perfect final touch to my Christmas Day outfit. Thank you so much, Sarah! :)

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!

Roomie Shoot #1!

This post is super late. We shot these a week ago. Oops! I knew it was getting ridiculous when I had 3 more outfits already shot, and I hadn't posted these yet, haha. You can definitely tell it was a week ago because the temperatures have changed quite a bit since then. I've been wearing shorts and tanks lately :) Anyways, this was me and Mary's first outfit shoot together! I seriously can not wait til we can shoot each others outfits all the time when we move in together at the end of summer! There's endless awesome locations downtown too, including this park overlooking the lake. We spent the day eating delicious food(refer to tempura snap peas & cupcakes below..YUM), browsing some shops, and taking each others photos! It was a blast.

Mary looking adorable as usual :) 

..Can you tell how insanely windy is was in the next 2 pictures? haha.

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!
