5am Wakeup Call

Gotta love the magic of photoshop! Setting up a tripod and snapping my 2 go-to poses gets old real fast so I thought I'd do something a little different for these outfit photos, and have some editing fun. I don't know what's with my blog drought lately, but I don't like it. I can tell that it's affecting my style too. Usually when I don't blog as much, I'm not reading as many blogs either. Which ultimately leads to feeling a lack of inspiration when I get dressed. Enough I say! I'm so over it. Funny how lacking a bit of style for a week makes you realize how good it feels to absolute love an outfit.

Okay, enough rambling! I wore this outfit to class in Chicago. I've noticed that my Milwaukee > Chicago commute outfits are all about layers. The weather can be totally different even though they're really not all that far apart. This outfit was all about mixing patterns/textures. Lace+Denim+Pattern = a super easy throw-on-at-5am outfit(yes, 5am. I wish I was kidding about that).

And now a random shot I took while taking these in my backyard. I just love how everything looks after it rains.

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.

Top, Jeans, & Jewelry: Forever 21

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