ABW Challenge: Day 42









 Day 42










Today was my fun outfit. I have been saving this top to wear for while, and although it was still a bit chilly outside, I decided to wear it. The long sleeves make it weather appropriate while the mint color is very much in the tune of the spring season. Because the top and bottom are solid and plain in the front, I decided to add the pear necklace to give it some texture.

Pinspiration!

A majority of this outfit was made using pictures from Pinterest.







I got this backless top from Pink by Victoria's Secret. It is normally $24.50, but it was on sale for $15. You know how I am with a good deal like that! I also got the bralette at VS awhie a go, but have not used it yet. I love how pretty it is in the back! I also like that it has some lining in the front so I feel more comfortable wearing it.






I was originally hesitant about trying this hairstyle out. My hair isn't that long, and I thought it may look weird. But I went for it anyways. This "Lace Braid" as it is called, came out pretty. For some of my hair that wouldn't reach around to the ponytail, I attached the flower clip in order to keep it in.

ABW Challenge: Day 37









Day 37









After a week of for spring break -where the most interesting fashion piece I wore was my work uniform -it's time to get the last out of my fall/winter wardrobe. With the unpredictable weather that I live in, spring could start any day now... or be delayed another month!

Today, I went with simplicity with class. It was inspired by my new glasses, which of course I forgot to put a pic of me wearing. Hopefully, you'll be able to see them by the end of the week. By now, you know I love my long beaded pearl strand. It looked great with the boatneck cable knit I paired previously with my blue and white jacket. This time, I put my bodycon and tights together with the oxfords. Originally, I was going to wear some ankle booties with it, but because I was running late for work, I nixed the heels.

ABW Challenge: Day 36







Day 36










Fun and dressy outfit today. I paired a pullover sweater from The Gap with a plaid pencil skirt and high boots. The pearls gave it even more class. Because I didn't have enough time to do anything remarkable with my hair, I added a bow headband for fun.

ABW Challenge: Day 11

Day 11

 I apologize for my frizzy hair. Did not have time to take picture until after I spent an hour in a greenhouse! The black shirt is one of my favorites that I got a while ago for Christmas and wore during high school (business casual dress code). I paired it with the pearl necklace and earrings, jeans and the floral sneakers from target.

If you notice in the first pic, I changed up my nails. They have white triangles at the base and dark violet tips. Something different that I'm playing around with!

ABW (Already Been Worn) Challenge: Day 1

I just started a new semester at school, and this time around, I wanted to try and challenge myself: How many days can I go without repeating an outfit? Although it's not a major, life altering or mind bending experience, attempting it last semester was pretty fun and was able to get my mind off of burning out from lack of sleep/stress/studying/the usual debilitating college problems. Hopefully, I'll be able to do this for all four days a week I have classes, but if something crazy happens or I'm swamped, I'll try and make sets instead of taking photos.








Day #1
 










In truth, this was not the outfit I had in mind. We had a warm front just yesterday, and our usual winter weather went up to 65 degrees. When I tried to see the weather for the next day, I mistakenly thought it'd be warm again, making me choose to wear a grey pencil skirt and studded oxfords in place of the black jeggings and combat boots. But I still liked how the outfit came together, mostly because I got to wear my blazer (one of my most worn and favorite things in my wardrobe). I also decided to add the pearls just as something different. The bag is courtesy of YesStyle.com, and is my everyday backpack. It was inexpensive and has lasted me one semester so far without any tears or mishaps.
