Outfit of the Day: Feb. 22nd

Today was all about getting things done. Between organizing my blog, cleaning my room, and working on homework, my plate was full. I woke up at 10am and worked on organizing myself for my blog posts coming up until 2ish. Then I cleaned my room. At 4pm, I rode my bike to Dodge and was there for FOUR HOURS working on one project for my desktop publishing class. Don’t get me wrong, it’s super fun and I love it, it’s just hard being a perfectionist because I spend hours on one project. It all turned out great! So at 8pm, I rode my bike back and now I’m writing this post! Tonight will definitely be a Netflix, soup, and jammies night. Crazy, right?

Since I was running around today, I wanted to be comfortable and cute. I decided on some boyfriend jeans, a baggy t-shirt, sandals, and a chunky knit scarf. Boyfriend jeans are seriously the best invention ever – they feel like sweatpants! And God bless Urban Outfitters for making baggy t-shirts in style! I was comfy, cozy without looking sloppy! The bright colors made me happy while I muddled through my mundane tasks.

Outfit of the Day: Feb. 20th

It was so hot yesterday! Even though I love this outfit, I was dying of heat. I had work for alumni relations where I have to dress business casual. Since I wasn’t feeling great, I didn’t want to wear anything too constricting. I decided to throw on these leggings (they’re sneaky because they look like pants), a nice blouse, my favorite bright blue statement necklace, and some taupe booties. I wish I had black booties too – that would make this outfit look a million times better. I love these leggings because they look really nice and are a fun pattern, but they are actually super comfortable and stretchy. I wear this blouse all the time. I want it in every color! It’s the perfect dressy t-shirt. The statement necklace really brings out my eyes and provides a pop of color.

Outfit of the Day Feb. 15thMy little and I went exploring at The Lab/The Camp in Costa Mesa. It’s an “anti-mall,” so mostly outdoors, sustainable, very green, and extremely artsy. It was such an amazing experience. Stay tuned for a blog post and pictures from our time there.

Christmas Eve Outfit Under $150

Christmas Eve is my favorite night of the year! Every year, we have a nice family dinner and then go to the 11pm candlelit church service. I absolutely love the music and everything about that service – it really is so amazing! Then, we go home and get to open one present – it is always a new pair of pajamas. My dad then reads “The Night Before Christmas” to us and we head off to bed. Church is always fun because everybody gets super dressed up. I love picking out my Christmas Eve outfit and this year I had a little fun shopping for an entirely new outfit. I had a budget of $150 which I met, but I went slightly over it with tax.

The first item I purchased was this amazing skater dress. From B.P. at Nordstrom, it is the perfect LBD – fitted where I’m the smallest (my waist) and then it flares out where I’m the largest (my hips). It has a high neckline which I usually tend to stay away from, but I thought it would look beautiful paired with a statement necklace. It’s fancy enough to be dressed up for special occasions, casual enough to be worn during the day, and modest enough to be worn for an interview. Very versatile, flattering, and high-quality, it’s shocking that it was only $46! I paired it with a beautiful royal blue statement necklace also from B.P. Nordstrom that was $24 to add a pop of color and liven up the neckline.

Next, I had to find shoes. Most of my heels are too high to be appropriate for church, so I wanted to find some that were lower but not frumpy. Immediately, I saw these amazing blue pointed-toe suede heels from B.P. Shoes at Nordstrom. They matched the color of the necklace perfectly, fit well, and didn’t look too old lady-ish. I fell in love! I had to buy them. They actually were not that expensive for the quality of the shoe, coming in at $70. Without tax, I came in at $140 – under budget! It was so fun to pull together an entire outfit for a set budget and really get quality items. I had a blast and I can’t wait to wear this outfit tonight.
