Mediocre photos, mediocre outfit.

Sorry about the bad photos, the light was bad today. When I got home from class (yeah they started again) it was very gray and snowing like crazy!
So, as I already stated classes began again today after my week long break. I woke up late and rushed to get ready. I really wasn't in the mood to hike my sleepy butt all over school in heels. I opted for flats.

I haven't worn this jacket in about two years, but ever since I wore it on Valentine's Day last week it's become more and more appealing to me. Couldn't help but reach for it today when I was getting ready. Maybe I should stop doing that...




Up close.

After I was done taking pics I realized my fly was down the whole time...oopsies. Good thing you can't tell.

Neon Simplicity

While romping around the mall the other day with the boyf, we decided to go into Old Navy which is somewhere we never go. That's when I came across this ginormous pile of v-necks that were on sale for 5 bucks. This neon pink one was the first to catch my eye. 

It's the perfect thing to cure the winter blahs...those days when there is nothing but gray. It really pierced a hole in my gray day. :-)

Just got the mail. haha.

Treasure

I have no outfit to write about tonight because I just lounged around today. But I did want to post about one of the most treasured items in my closet...My Chanel Cambon flats.
I'm not taking about the kind of "Chanel" you can go to the mall and buy at a kiosk. Not fake shoes with fake authenticity cards. I'm talking about the luxury and the class of real true Chanel. For me, it just doesn't get any better than that.


I first fell in love with these babies the second I saw them. It was 2 1/2 years ago and I was searching the internet to pass the boredom my summer had become. I saw them and knew I HAD to have them, haha. I did tons and tons of research to make sure I could find ones that were authentic, but they also had to be in my price range. It took two months and I finally found these on the UK ebay for 20 euro, which back then was about $40. That's amazing since the price of these shoes are usually up in the 300-400 range.

To any normal person my love for inanimate objects must seem insane!

To me these are truly a treasure.
What is your most treasured possession?

Good night, sleep tight x0x0

Cobalt

Today I was feeling uninspired, so I decided to break out this t-shirt dress I haven't worn in awhile. I forgot how much I liked it and it's rich blue color. The only thing wrong with it is it seems to have a permanent deodorant stains. I washed it a bunch of times and they haven't come out :(




Playing with my kitty.

This is my favorite coat. It's 40 years old and still in perfect condition. I got it for a steal on ebay!

Sorry for the semi-uninspired post and mediocre pictures. More tomorrow! xoxo

Repeat Performance

Today I wore my plaid swing jacket again to show how versatile it can be. In my other post I wore it with jeans and made a casual look. Today I wore it with a silk jumper that I picked up for 50% last month. It created a totally different look.

I'm so happy I finally found white tights. I've been looking in so many different stores for a long time and finally found them at Target. Another bonus was they were on clearance for $3.50.
It's something totally new from what I normally try.

It's hard to tell from the picture (as always when I take pictures here) but the jumper has small metal circle detailing which adds a nice touch.

I was looking through all my old jewelry today and came across this old "punk" necklace I used to wear when I was 14. Decided to throw it on for nostalgia's sake. Ha.

Looking at these pictures I don't think I like the belt with this outfit...what do you think?

And thanks goes out to my lovely boyfriend for snapping this picture of me falling over. Also, a big thank you to him for taking me out to one of my favorite burger joints tonight for some comfort food.
I got a big ol' double cheeseburger. Check out his experience here.

While I was there, there was a giant gaggle of high schooler's hanging out. A lot of the girls from their group started pointing directly at me and whispering. Some were even saying comments about my outfit out loud. I just laughed it off because they were all wearing flannel sweatpants.
Has anything like that ever happened to you?

P.S. I really hate taking my pictures in front of my bathroom door at night. I'll promise to get some better pictures with better light. Either in my living room or outside. It's hard to get nice pictures outside because of the cold weather here in Rochester!

Spotted Sunshine

Today Brian and I actually went out to run errands before dark! Oh my god! So I coaxed him into taking some pictures of me outside. And yes, it was cold!

I wore my new boyfriend jeans that I posted about a few weeks ago. They were very nice I'm happy I got them.

My ankles hurt so much from my super tall heels I wore yesterday. So, today I wore some cushy comfy flats.

Also this is the first post where I have one of my purses with me. Sorry I didn't get a better shot. It's one of my favorites.
Bag- Kathy Van Zeeland





You can't really tell from the photos but the spots on the cardigan are purple.

Valentine Time

Today as everyone knows was Valentine's Day. Brian (my boyfriend) and I went out to dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. Check out his blog for a review of our meal, it should be up on Tuesday. :-)

Some of you may recognize this dress from my New Year's outing. I love it so much I had to wear it for a special occasion again! I also decided to brave the 25 degree weather with bare legs.


I also wore my new shoes!


Dress-H&M
Mock military jacket- Luella for Target (loved that collection!)
Shoes- Aldo
Magnetic necklace- a gift

Also, I was very saddened this week by the suicide of Alexander McQueen. The fashion world just lost a great designer and icon.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day! xoxoxo

Casual Monday

Hi! It's been awhile. BUT now that I'm back on a normal schedule, I'll be updating every day and at the LEAST every other day.
Today I woke up extremely exhausted and I didn't feel like getting dressy.
Excuse the mess in my apartment in the pictures, I'm in the middle of rearranging everything.


I'm gathering quite the collection of jackets you can just throw over anything, but I think this one is my favorite. It's easy to dress up or down :-) Plus it was only 20 bucks.

I love my couch but sometimes it's so uncomfortable.




Jacket- Burlington Coat Factory
Baby doll shirt- Rainbow
Jeans- Charlotte Russe
Necklace- Vintage
Jeweled flats- from TJ MAXX
Socks- St. John's Bay

Some of you may recall the Aldo shoes I posted about in my after christmas list entry. Well...they ended up being 50% off. Here they are!


(Sorry about my cat licking himself)
You think the shoes were a good purchase? I'd love to hear something from you.
Have a lovely evening xoxoxo
