Pink Lemonade
Shirt: H&M Skirt: Forever 21 Shoes: Kenzie Jewelry: Forever 21, borrowed, gifted, vintage
I woke up this morning, put this on, looked in the mirror, and immediately thought of pink lemonade (Yellow skirt, pink-accented top...work with me, people). And then I thought about how much better pink lemonade is than yellow lemonade. We all know it's true.
But really, all I know is that me and my pink-lemonade clad self almost wiped out majorly in the hallway this morning...after I left my homework at home, broke my car keys, and snapped the bottom, rubbery part off the heel of my shoes.
Note: These shoes? One word. Slippery. Me? One word. Uncoordinated.
C'est la vie! :) xo
(J.) Crew Cut
Shirt: H&M Jacket: J. Crew (similar, here) Pants: Rugby Collection by Ralph Lauren Shoes: Apt. 9 Jewelry: Forever 21, gifted, vintage
Yesterday, my friends, I took the plunge. I've wanted to cut my hair shorter for a while now...I've just never had the courage to do it! Each time I sit in the hairdresser's chair and wonder "Well, can I do it today?" Every time the answer is "no, certainly not, just get a trim" (I go to a personable little salon on Route 23 called Hair & Us! Their amazing prices and wonderful staff make it my go-to place for awesome cuts). Yesterday was the day. I'm still working with it and trying to figure it all out, but it's been smooth sailing so far. It's best to keep your hair short if you have fine hair like mine - I'm a sucker for "big hair" and with long locks, it's hard to keep it full. It actually looks longer in photos than it actually is!
I'm loving these pants. In the dead heat of summer, when it is ninety-five degrees with 90% humidity, you will see me in these corduroy cargo skinnies. Okay, maybe not, but I'll be thinking about them and longing for cooler temperatures. You can dress them up and down and all the way around - they are comfortable and slimming and really just make you feel put together in a cool, casual kind of way. My J. Crew red/pink cropped jacket is another favorite that can be worn any which way....it's so fun to pick and choose and try out pieces for different functions.
We're half way through the week, and spring break is right around the corner! Anyone have any cool plans? Looking forward to some time off? I know I am!

In the Red
Button Up Shirt: Forever 21 Sweater: Forever 21 Denim: Forever 21 Necklace: Vintage Boots: Steve Madden
My Steve Madden boots and I go way back. They've lasted me three years of wear now; I don't think I could ever be without them. I love the chestnut color and the little buckles in the back....I'll be sad to see boot season go, but hey, based on how cold I was while my little sister took these pictures, I'll take Spring back. Yay for 70 degree weather tomorrow!
Layer, layer, layer. And layer. Did I mention to layer? I like to go into my closet and pull pieces that work together in cohesive ways - layering seems to be the best way to make individual pieces work together.
This organgey-red color has been one of my favorites...but look out, neon yellows, royal blues, fuchsias, and limes will be making their way into my spring closet. Which I will need to invest in, right? It's business you see, strictly business. I'll be 'in the red,' alright...
At least Monday is nearly over :) Check out my updated Pick of the Week, located on the navigation bar above. I'll be updating that every Monday, so stay tuned!
PS - Thank you guys for reading! I've been blogging for a week and we've already broken 1,000 views! Thank you so much for your support and I hope you like reading my blog as much as I like writing it.

Ergo, Cargo
Shirt: Old Navy Cargo Jacket: Forever 21 White Denim: American Eagle Outfitters Purse: Dooney & Bourke Vintage Shoes: Nine West
....And when I should be studying, writing papers, doing packets, etc, I blog.
This outfit is so easy....throw an olive cargo jacket over a tee and voila! Instant success. I absolutely love my white denim jeans...I'm always a bit iffy in the pants department - short and curvy doesn't always mesh with stores' platonic notions of the ideal female figure (stick-like, hips like a boy's). American Eagle offers short/long sizes depending on your body type...I buy most of my jeans there, and have never found any reason to switch! So, considering the functionality of this cargo jacket and the cute factor of white jeans, I'd have to say that yes, both are staple pieces. And they can be worn in most seasons! That whole "no white after labor day" mantra does not exist. I repeat, does not exist.
Enjoy the last of the weekend! xo
When is this spring weather supposed to kick in? (Yesterday was such a tease).
Work It
shirt: j. crew pants: j. crew blazer: ann taylor loft purse: dooney & burke vintage necklace: vintage watch: seiko ring: vintage shoes: ellen tracy via macy's
I'm not really one for trousers, but something about these pants (maybe it's the silky liner inside, or how warm they are) really make them an awesome staple piece. Actually, this ensemble is constructed entirely of basic staple pieces. Can't go wrong with pairing a button down with a warm wool blazer - easy outfit. Which is good, considering I left my house late for work. Not that I do that every week. Don't tell. Please?
Happy Oscar Day!
Is it bad that I'm almost more excited to see what everyone will be wearing?
