SRS

Cardigan: Ann Taylor Button Up: Forever 21 Skirt: Forever 21 Shoes: Lela Rose for Payless Nails: Revlon Craving Coral 

Long time no see, blog world. Hi! In case you didn't notice, I like this skirt a lot. See here and here to witness, first hand, my SRS (skirt-repeat sydrome. Just FYI). 

Enjoy the weekend! 

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

Too Late

 Pants: Lauren Conrad via Kohl's Shirt:  Old Navy Blazer:  Zara Shoes: Apt. 9 via Kohl's Belt: Forever 21  Sunglasses:  Apt. 9 via Kohl's

I didn't actually wear this today.  But I wish I had. I got about half way through my day and then it hit me like a bus. Sarah, I said to myself. Why oh why did you not wear your floral pants?

So I just thought I'd show you what I would have liked to wear today.  But, alas, sleep deprivation, no coffee...they'll do things to a girl. Bad things. Stay in school, kids.

Triple Threat

Shirt: Ann Taylor Denim: Banana Republic Shoes: Calvin Klein Belt: Forever 21 Jewelry: Gifted, Vintage Nails: Lilac Pastelle by Revlon

There is something so timeless about red, beige and black. The color combination boasts class and poise, and it's popularity, over the course of time, hasn't dwindled. Thank goodness! I love my three-tone wedges so much, it's not even right. Comfortable, affordable, and red, nude, and black. A triple threat, if you will. I've never been one for wide legged jeans, but I picked these up for $8 and decided to give it a try. I like them! They're comfy and cozy and they do wonders elongating my not-so-long legs. Oh, to be vertically challenged. 

Anyone ever notice that the week before a winter/spring respite is hell? I feel as if I'm drowning in essays, exams, quizzes, and worksheets! Ah! Almost there....

A Little Skirt Never Hurt

Shirt: H&M Skirt: J. Crew Shoes: Apt. 9 for Kohl's Jewelry: Forever 21, Gifted Nail Polish: China Glaze, Sugar High 

I know I look a bit angry in these pictures (the sun was in my eyes, guys, sorry!) but when it comes to my favorite skirt, I'm as happy as a clam (a glam clam, mind you). These shoes might also become a new favorite...overall, they're comfortable and rather easy to walk in - which are my requirements when buying heels. I think it's silly to stumble through your day in shoes that pinch, make you bleed, or make you waddle. Dumb, right? 

Happy Monday! Check out the pick of the week, coming soon to a navigation tab near you! ;)

PS: No, that is not a real mommah duck and her ducklings behind me. In case you were wondering. 

Nothing Rhymes with Orange...at Least It's Pretty

 

Chambray Shirt: Forever 21 Blazer: Forever 21 Skirt: Banana Republic Necklace: Forever 21 Watch & Bracelet: Gifted Ring: Vintage Shoes: Chinese Laundry 

I saw a picture on Pinterest of a girl wearing a black, flouncy vintage dress, a big chunky green necklace, and orange pumps...Cue my shoes. This Spring is all about color - neons, pastels, etc. Go for it! I've definitely gotten braver this year with trying new things stylistically and seeing what works for me. Bold colors are a definite must. 

I live in my chambray shirt. I adore it. Get yourself one, you'll see what I mean. 

Again, yet another outfit built out of staple pieces - see what a few essential items can do? My clothes have basically started to dress Me...gotta love 'em. 

(Are you guys noticing my obsession with blazers/jackets? I think I need help.)

PS: Attention All PTHS students! Come to the HOPE coffee house tomorrow night! 6:30 p.m. in the cafe - there will be professional comedians and homemade desserts!

PPS (last time, I promise): My sister and photographer, Liv, was wearing something so cute today, I couldn't resist snapping a shot when she wasn't looking :)

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?
