New Boots

Minor camera issues today so I'll make sure to get some other pictures that do justice to my new BOOTS. You all know I lust after beautiful clothes, but there is nothing like a gorgeous pair of leather boots. I was surprised to find them at our local Famous Footwear because their shoe selection usually lacks variety and non-sporty brands.

Today at lunch my friend congratulated me on "succesfully matching black and brown". That hadn't even crossed my mind, but I like the all neutral look. Also, this wrapdress is somehow one of the most comfortable and the most chic items in my closet. The boyfriend sweater is equally comfy but unfortunately the heat at school was turned up to a MILLION degrees. Tomorrow: sandals and shorts.

Rainy Day

 After finals last week, a long weekend was completely necessary. I spent my time at yoga, celebrating a friend's birthday, shopping and cleaning. For the first time in a while, all my clothes are clean and organized in my closet. Amazing! Hopefully this will make getting ready easier.

It rained last night so all the snow turned into that wonderful grey mush. Hence, the rainboots. A military jacket, simple tee, and light scarf were perfect for an afternoon at the library. Back to school tomorrow as a second semester senior! Woohoooo!

Jewelry Box

What do you do when you're snowed in with nowhere to go? Photoshoot! My friends and I played around in our jewelry boxes and put together some looks focused on our favorite pieces. Each look would work for a different occasion and most of them make me miss summer. Thanks to Julia for modeling and Hannah for photographing!

Inspiration

As I'm typing this, we're being snowed in by the first of the monstrous Chicago storms. I love winter but sometimes it's hard to get motivated to wear anything but cozy leggings and sweaters. These lovely ladies from all over the country always boost my spirits and have creative ideas for any weather--especially my fellow Chicagoan  Jane of http://seejaneworkplaylive.blogspot.com/.

Out of the Darkness

Hello people! It's been forever! The past month I've been drowning in college applications, final projects and general holiday business. Things are finally winding down and I'm trying to go back to my regular schedule, which includes my daily narcissistic posts! Get excited.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!
