Preppy/Business-Like/Feminine/Unique

I know I look like I'm going to kill someone in the last picture- don't worry, I wasn't. Sometimes when you use a timer some funny faces just come out, and this pic showed off my new favorite shirt the best. Brace yourselves, I paid more for this shirt than any other shirt in my entire shopping career. It just fit me so well and is my style (preppy, business-like, feminine, and unique)- plus there was the added friend pressure to buy (I usually shop alone or with my little sister who also means business when shopping).

Shoes: Target, $13, Skirt: Gap, thrifted, $3. Shirt: Anthropologie, $50, Watch: Fossil, gifted, Earrings: Custom

Accidental Post

Sorry about my super personal post I accidentally published on this blog instead of my personal blog. Please disregard it if you get it through google reader, and please don't stalk me since you know what schools I'm into. But, on that personal note if you didn't get it, I did get into grad school this week, but only on my second choice option and am still deciding what to do with my life- wait for top choice or shoot for top 10 school in a year, or take it and be grateful!

Oh but let me make this fashion related instead of wasting time: I did buy a power suit to celebrate. I will so model it tomorrow and take a picture- you just wait!

Authoritative Summer Dress

I had the big yearbook pass out today (which I'm in charge of) and I wanted to be comfy, cool in the heat, but still look authoritative. I also had to do it after a VERY late night with presidential traffic.

Dress with belt: Ann Taylor Loft, $10, Shoes: Teva, $20, Tank: Hanes, $4

Presidential Speech

Thanks for all the great advice for the big presidential speech- it truly was the most amazing thing, and a huge highlight of my life! I was so inspired, and truly proud to be an American.
I did pull out a sun dress, believe it or not. This dress is light knit jersey, but the navy I think makes it look nicer than the lightweight dress it is. I was glad this was my choice, somewhat more formal than most, but still kept me as cool as one can be in 105 degrees!

Dress: Gap, $12, Tank: Gap, $8, Scarf: Mall store, $8, Shoes: Latin Market, $7

Little Blue Dress

Dress: Banana Republic, $15, Camisole: Downeast Outfitters, $10, Belt: Taken from dress, Shoes: Mudd, $35, Necklace: Lia Sophia, gifted

A Little Help From My Friends

Let's just say perhaps you have tickets to go hear THE PRESIDENT of the United States speak tomorrow. Let's also imagine it being outside, at a football stadium, with the temp being about 100 degrees. My friend, uh yeah, my friend has this problem planning their outfit. Most people are wearing t-shirts and shorts, but I don't think that casual is cool for such a FORMAL speaker! However, it will be crazy HOT. Any thoughts? I have 20 hours and counting.... I mean my "friend" does....
