Show off

So I was definitely not good at keeping up with the blog this week--work is starting to get busy, especially because we didn't work Monday and I had two papers and a few poems due this week. It's the weekend before Week Four for the UC system and midterm season is already upon us.

I titled this entry "show off" because I have several pictures of two outfits because I'm very proud of those ones, and only one picture (or none) of the others. Here we go!

I was extremely pleased with this outfit! Once again, my floral sundress was masquerading as not-a-dress, and on my way out the door, my roommate complimented my shirt. Tee hee! I love the way the extra skirt made the blue skirt so much fuller! (In these pictures you can see one of the chairs I refinished over the summer and my roomie's pretty Paris poster)

I wore:
Coral cardigan: Old Navy
Floral-print dress: Xhileration, thrifted
Belt: thrifted
Skirt: Merona, Target
Plastic bangle: gift, Macy's
Metal bangle: Forest Home Bookstore (I'll have to add in a feature about this bangle--it's my favorite and I wear it a lot)
Rainbows

I also decided to wear a little bright lipstick just for fun. Without the cardi, the outfit lacked a lot of color, so I wanted to pick up a little more of the bright flowers in the print.

On Thursday, I was super rushed and didn't get in any pictures. I had an interview for Housing in the evening. I'm hoping to be a Residence Adviser or Program Coordinator next year. It was a nice day, but it was getting really breezy and a little chilly in the evening.

During the day, I wore:
Gray cardigan: Heritage 1981
Purple shirt: Apt 9, Kohl's
Black skinny jeans: Elle, Kohl's
Black flats: Sonoma, Kohl's

To my interview, I wore:
Black pearl earrings and neclace: Majorica, gift
Purple and green scarf: Target
Black coat: Gallary, Macy’s
Purple shirt: Apt 9, Kohl's
Denim slacks: Mixit, Kohl's
Black flats: Sonoma, Kohl's

I think my interview went well, but we'll see: I'm supposed to get a call back to attend the leadership class tomorrow at noon if they liked me. Cross your fingers for me!

Thursday night was the night that I stayed up almost all night doing my religious studies paper and a poem, so I took another casual Friday and made sure to put on my geek-style glasses and big earrings to hide my sleepiness.

I wore:
Glasses: (non-perscription) Forever 21
Earrings: gift
Blue flannel: Arrow, Dad's closet
Metal Bangle: Forest Home Bookstore
Jeans: Levi's, Kohl's
Ribbon flats: Xhileration, Target

Yesterday, I went out on a bus adventure with one of my dear friends, then to dinner and a play. I tried to pick out clothes that would transition well from day to night.

Yesterday, I wore:
Blue striped button-up: H&M
Pocketwatch necklace: Modcloth
Shorts: Ann Taylor, Loft
Gray tights: H&M
Brown shoes: Børn, Nordstrom Rack

(and later added)
Gray cardigan: Heritage 1981
Brown blazer: Geoffrey Beene






Yes, I'm extremely pleased with how I layered, especially when only wearing the shirt and cardigan. Yay!

Today, I reserved my right to a lazy day. Honestly, I'm still in my pajamas though I've been up for about nine and a half hours. I did take a picture today though:

I'm wearing:
Glasses: (prescription) Guess, Lenscrafters
Crocheted headband: self-made
Hoodie: Old Navy
(Pajamas not shown, haha, and I made it a goal to not put on shoes at all today)


I made the headband while avoiding homework; I found a pattern by Marta at creativeyarn, but I can't read patterns so I kind of winged it. I need to learn patterns though, 'cause I love the look of the bows she's made patterns for. I'd also really like to get back into working with yarn. I'm allergic to wool, and when I was knitting before, I could only make scarves. I enjoy crochet a lot more, and I bet I could find nice wool-free yarn somewhere.


Anyway, I think I'm going to finish homework, watch more Law & Order: SVU (I swear, USA has so many SVU marathons for no reason, and I love it), and go back to bed. Thanks for reading!
