New Pairings

No, it is not 60 degrees in Milwaukee. It was about 40 when these were taken though! Just "warm" enough to have my jacket off for 4 minutes without freezing. I'll take what I can get.

Wearing a bunch of new things here: vest, shirt, boots, & purse! (When I say new I really mean I got some for Christmas and just found them in a pile in my room). Isn't it great when all your new things go perfectly together? I hardly ever wear polka dots...or mustard..or both at the same time. So adventurous!..or I just had to wear all my new stuff at once....yep, that's it.

 Also, I brought my purse outside to photograph with my outfit, but my camera battery died before I could get a shot with it so I ended up photographing it inside..you get the idea.

Thanks to Mary for taking these! Perks of blogger roommates :)

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 :)

Winter Floral

I wore this outfit to another performance of the show I stage managed this winter. Sadly, our run is over but it was amazingly successful and I'm so proud that I was a part of it. :) That being said, it will be nice not to drive 25 minutes there and back everyday. Got old real fast. 

This dress is obviously a summer dress. It's even strapless. I just love how it fits and the floral pattern so I threw on some boots, sweater tights and a jacket and forced it to transition to winter. Sometimes I need reminders of summer during winter so I can remember that it will in fact become warmer....eventually.

That's all for today. I've gotta get to bed because classes start tomorrow for the spring semester...yay. Guess what else starts tomorrow?! My internship! That's right, I got an internship when I wasn't even looking for one for this semester. It kind of fell into my lap, and it couldn't be more up my alley. I'm interning with Luxury Garage Sale in Chicago in their photo department. If you don't know, they're a designer consignment company that sell people's designer things on ebay for them! Check out their website(HERE) if you want to see what's listed/find out more! I cannot wait to be around such amazing clothes/accessories and get some hands on experience in the fashion world! I can't help but be a little nervous since this is totally new to me and my first internship, but I know that it's going to be amazing. Wish me luck!

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! :)

Sweater: Target

Tank: Charlotte Russe

Jeans: H&M

Earrings: Gift from Sarah!

Boots: Nine West

This or that?

Just a few things I've been trying to decide between... 

A perfect coat to transition from fall to winter:

                                        ASOS Premium Wool & Leather Parka  OR  ASOS Navajo Pattern Parka

 Shoes at TJ Maxx begging me to take them home:

           Sam Edelman Etiene Slip-On Loafer  OR  DV by Dolce Vita Paloma Bootie in Black

  ($50)                                                                                               ($60)

So hard to choose! Which ones would you pick?
