Empire State of Mind

Hey Guys! I'm off to New York City tomorrow and I'm pretty excited to observe the diverse styles of people throughout the neighborhoods. I'm trying to change up my style a bit to accentuate contrasting bohemian and preppy pieces. Hopefully there will be a computer where I'm staying so I can update this otherwise the pics will all be up the day I get back. Have to finish packing now. So excited!!

Summer Has Arrived

Hey Guys! I'm pretty much adjusted to taking my pictures either at 7:00 in the morning or 9:00 at night so I might look a little crazy in them. This outfit is from Sunday when I went to see my friend in a local play. We had warm weather last week so I whipped out the summer box and was eager to wear some bright colors. It ended up being freezing by nighttime, but I still wore my sandals. I love the colorful patterned top which I got in 6th grade?? I have no idea how it still fits. It is one of my only camis that matches this shrug perfectly because they're both VERY green. I mixed it up a little bit with the pink sandals and orange bag to get the rainbowy summer feel. There's more where that came from!
Shrug: Forever 21

Guess Who's Back

( Ok so now the only time I can take pics is in the morning so I will be looking a little tired...excuse my face)

Hey Guys! As you can see, I'm still alive, I've just had a busy schedule with lacrosse practice everyday. I reorganized my system of taking pictures and when I work on the blog, so I hope to keep up! Thankfully I have a few outfits to post so I'll start with what I was wearing today and work backwards. I DIY hemmed this skirt yesterday in a sewing frenzy with my mom. It was pretty exciting because about 50% of her wardrobe is LONNNNGGG skirts from the nineties (was that trend ever in....) so we chopped off the bottoms of two dresses and one skirt. I did this pink one myself so its a lil' bit crazy but if i don't stand still nobody notices.

This dress has little shape so a belt was necessary. There are two others that kinda worked but I liked this one the best because the color wasn't too matchy-matchy and the overall style worked. Although it may look sunny outside, it was about a 45 degree high today so the blazer stayed on. I just whipped out the summer box and found these adorable sandals. I was going to say summer shoes are more exciting than winter, but it all depends on your individual wardrobe.

Dress: thrifted, DIY

Blazer: For Joseph

Belt: stole from my mom

Wish it Was Spring

Hey guys! I have no idea how many people actually follow this blog, but I in fact did not fall off the face of the earth since I last posted February 18th. It has been a mix of busy and unfashionable weeks soI haven't been able to post. Luckily, my dad just came back from a trip and got me a few cute things to refresh my wardrobe. He got this adorable cardigan, which I love because I own nothing in that color and everyone could use a basic cardigan. After a few days of uninspired outfits I wanted to come back with a bang so this outfit is one of the fanciest I would wear to school. The skirt's pattern is great and not too obvious while the layering on top adds a casual element. Tights are kind of necessary since apparently spring doesn't come until May???

My younger sister took these pictures and she hasn't quite grasped the concept of "H2T" as Tyra Banks would say. (head to toe)


Originally, I didn't think the belt would work, but it added needed detail to the outfit.

Sweater: H&M

T-shirt: Old Navy

Cami: Costco

Skirt: Ann Taylor Loft

Tights: my mom's....
Shoes: Thrifted

Earrings: Tiffany's

NEW EARRINGS!! I'm in love with my new Elsa Peretti for Tiffany's heart earrings. They're one of the very few "fancy" pieces I own and good for special occasions. Hearts have been my favorite since I was little because I was born on Valentine's Day and I always thought people were just celebrating my birthday with all the heart cards. Haha goes to show how self-centered Baby Victoria was :)
