Reporting for Duty

It's been fairly cooler here this week, allowing me to wear the army inspired top I got from Zara a few days ago (on sale!). The only thing missing is some combat boots (it's not that cool) and I'm ready to report for duty on the 4th. What is everyone doing for Independence Day? I'm taking a day trip to the beach tomorrow and having a little shindig at my house after, and of course seeing the fireworks on the mall on Sunday. Have a safe and relaxing Holiday!

B&W

I'm not a big fan of mirror pics but I was in a bit of a rush seeing as my bff got off work half an hour early. Our good friend works at a lounge in Georgetown that's fairly slow on Thursdays-good for chit chat and great drinks. I'm FINALLY seeing SATC 2 this weekend, I hear it's amazing, can't wait!

Charmed

I picked up these hair bands from H&M while in Atlanta and almost forgot to post them because I've been wearing them so much. While looking through some old jewelry I came across a few old earrings and necklaces I haven't worn in years and added the charms to bands, and walla!

I've been all over the place these past few weeks-Atlanta, Hampton, Maryland, and New York. Pictures will be up shortly!

Another day, another class right? I had some extra time while getting ready this morning and attempted the whole socks with heels look. . . I must say I'm a big fan. If my plans weren't to trot allover campus today I would have gladly worn them out, but the bad weather nor the walk to class would allow, so boots it is!

End Result:

Jeans turned shorts: Seven for all Mankind

I bought these jeans from a consignment shop a few years ago and they've been collecting dust in my closet ever since. I turned them into shorts and distressed them to get more wear out of them. I can't wait for it to get warm so I can wear them!

Dots & Stripes

Striped turtleneck dress: H&M; Blazer: Anthropologie; Tights: Laila Rowe; Oxfords: Michael Khors; Clutch: For Love 21; Necklace: DIY; Earrings: Vintage; Bangles: F21, H&M, Aldo; Rings: F21; Polish: OPI-Big Apple Red

I wore this to my senior social last week. It was at a measly bar downtown but since I hadn't dressed up in a while I decided to go for the kill. I can't seem to get enough of horizontal stripes and blazers these days, and the tights were a nice mix of pattern. I must say though, I'm starting to get an itch for the springtime. . .the weather, the clothes, or lack there of rather ;-). Miami will definitely be a nice change of scenery, to say the least. I'll be in D.C. for the weekend, so look for pictures when I return on Sunday, happy weekend!

The Shorter, The Better

Cropped top: F21; Denim skirt: H&M; Tights: old, DIY runs; Boots: Zara; Earrings: mall kiosk; Grey leather wrap bracelet: UO; Black double wrap watch: F21; Rings: Claire's

Had another typical night out with the girls, this time at a bar downtown. It was a well needed relaxing night out compared to some previous crazy nights this weekend.

I'm considering bleaching this skirt. . . I saw an adorable light washed denim one from UO that I'm going to attempt to mock (below). Will post it shortly!

Night at the Rodeo

Sweater: Old Navy; Denim button down: thrift; skirt: H&M; tights: old, DIY runs; Tan riding boots: UO; earrings, rings, bracelet: F21; Polish: Sally Hansen-Cinnamon

I went mechanical bull riding over the weekend and I didn't last longer than 30 seconds but it was entertaining nonetheless. I hope everyone had as good a weekend as I did!

Twisted & Braided

I was on Polyvore's blog a few days ago and got a bit of inspiration from this very cute F21 piece...

..and since I have a bunch of old jewelry that's been decorating my wall and dying to be worn...

..I made my own!

Necklaces: F21 and H&M, old

I can't wait to wear it! Thanks to my roommate Jamila for modeling this fabulous piece!
