c/o 2010

Cream blazer:borrowed; blouse&polka dotted skirt: Anthropologie

While writing this post I realized I never posted pictures from my own graduation! My brother graduated from high school yesterday and will be attending UMD in the fall. As if graduating from college didn't make me feel old enough, attending my brothers made it that much more real. Congratulations Class of 2010!

Career Chic:Semi Casual

Cardigan:Anthropologie; blouse:H&M; tank:old; skirt:old; belt:old; heels:Nine West; watch:F21

Since a lot of my time is spent job hunting, and soon enough will be spent working (hopefully), I will be posting some professional looks more often. I wore this to my second interview with a company yesterday. Not very traditional, but I was told to dress more casual, and this was my version.

Newbies

Floral Dress (worn as a cover up): F21; Sequin cropped top: F21; Striped swimsuit bottom:H&M; Striped top:F21; Denim skirt: H&M; High waisted polka dot shorts: F21

My trip to Miami is approaching slowly but surely, and what better excuse for a shopping trip! I got all of this and two rings from F21 for around $40. If that's not luck, then I don't know what is ;-).

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!

Up & At 'em

Blazer: Zara; T-Shirt: BCBG; Tank: old; Floral skirt: F21; Belt: F21; Tights: old; Boots: UO; Rings & Earrings: F21

My first day back was filled with hugs and "how was your break?" The bitter sweet feeling of graduation being so close yet so far away is just that-bitter sweet. Instead of dwelling I'll try to enjoy it while it lasts. Happy weekend everyone!

Into the Night

Blazer: Zara; Striped t-shirt: H&M; Feather skirt: Bebe; Tights: old; Clutch: F21; Booties (not shown): Steve Madden; Earrings: F21; Leather bracelets: UO and F21; Ring: Old; OPI-Big Apple Red

I had to live it up for my last few nights in the city, considering I'll be deprived from it for the next few months while back at school. I love cold crazy nights out on the town with fun friends (and I'm pretty sure I just created my own tongue twister). Oh how I'll miss the city, though I'm looking forward to my last semester...more
