BtoS Dress

I usually buy a new dress just for back to school. I was pretty stoked when I found this one at this price! I have wanted a navy blue wrap dress for a long time!

Back to School

My camera took it's last breathe, thus the lack of posts. I did manage to get the 1st day of school outfit. Red and black equals authority- so I grabbed my suit and this shirt. My AC broke, and it was 111, so this is what I ended up actually wearing. I hope I still made my point to those sweaty kids.

Skirt: NY&CO, $15, Shirt: Loft, $15, Shoes: Naturalizer, $20

Plain and Simple

I think my camera is on its deathbed. It's also insane starting a new school year... so I apologize if posts are scarce and pictures are not so great!
I moved stuff around in my room and had meetings, this was functional and somewhat professional for the day.

Sick Day

I'm trying to be less of a slacker- but I have enjoyed wearing my PJ's a lot and refusing make up these last weeks of my summer break. This is the last week, so good things are coming! I have some good things planned for back to school week!
However, today I have the flu. And just so you know, I'm still wearing a fantastic headband with feathers, but that's about all anyone would want to see.
I will hopefully be back tomorrow!

My Favorite Shirt

I usually try to rework items to make outfits different. BUT, this is a total repeat from a few months ago. I love this shirt, and it needs all the attention, so basic pieces seem to be best. If it isn't broken, why fix it right? Only this time I actually got close up shots on the shirt details. I can't wait to repeat this one again!

Shirt: Anthropologie, $50, Skirt: Gap, Thrifted, $3, Shoes: Target, $13, Earrings: Kohls, $10

Some Classics Never Hurt...

I went out with a group of friends, and I just couldn't get the idea of wearing a plain white T out of my head! Since I've shrunk this year, I've only purchased some work essentials in my correct size- and yes, white polo= worn a lot! Sometimes I think my outfits are boring, but I stop and look and pics and think- classics are classics for a reason. Do you agree? Would a going out outfit look better in something more flashy, or does the classic white polo cut it?

Polo: AE, $10, Jeans: Tommy, $10 (find of a lifetime), Shoes: Rampage, $7, Earrings: Icing, $5

Oh Those S-um-mer Nights!

This is preppy for me when it's 108 (down from 115) in those lovely AZ nights. This is the time of year when I think- why do I live here? Next summer, I hope my internship takes me someplace nice and rainy all summer long. I'll quit whining, in only 3 months I'll be loving every minute of my geographical location!

Shirt: Gap, $13 (endlessly remixed), Shorts: Aeropostale, $10 (I think), Flip Flops: Old Navy, $2.50

All Greek to Me

I couldn't figure out why on earth I go with Greek inspired shoes and accessories each time I wear this dress. I haven't worn it in a long time, and as it's being altered I tried it on and pinned it and decided to wear it pinned....oh I need to learn to be patient. Anyway, I finally figured it out! My mythology class I took in high school showed most women wearing dresses this same cut, only with long skirts, and mostly in white. And truly Grecian gals piled on the accessories like they would be destroyed by the Gods at anytime- thus I did too. With all images being white or a light blue, why oh why would a purple version just scream Greek to me? I finally figured it out.


Oh that subconscious mind! Oh Disney- chaining a horrific myth into something cute. My teacher would roll over and die if she knew this character created inspiration for me, even subconsciously!
