Manic Monday

I'm not sure if I've become more narcissistic or if my sister is better at taking pictures, but I'm liking this more pics per post thing. I've had this outfit planned out for a while and a lazy Monday was the perfect time to wear it to feel put-together. My instinct was to wear this with flats but the boots were right there and they gave it a different vibe. This cascading chain necklace from Stella & Dot is just one of their pieces I'm obsessed with. I have yet another color-less outfit waiting for tomorrow. Guess the cold weather just isn't inspiring me to wear those happy fall tones.

Bedazzled

Hey guys! I've enjoyed wearing all my birthday jewels for the past few days. This is by far my favorite necklace I've ever owned. I've always adored those collar-type super bedazzled necklaces but never found one with the perfect color scheme and textures. This one from Loft has a cool mix of black prizm beads, golden glass beads, and grey pearls. It's awesome!! Since this was the first time around at styling, I wanted the necklace to stand alone against neutrals. I have a bunch more ideas for this baby. What I really like about it is the mix of hard and soft. If I had to stick with one style the rest of my life (torture!) it would be an ultrafeminine/edgy look. Lovely gift, Mom!

CopyCat

Hey guys! So this is similar to an outfit I wore last month, with different tights, boots, and jewelry. The black dress and grey boyfriend sweater fill my need to look pulled together but relaxed, because after all, it's just high school. This beautiful turquoise necklace was a gift from my aunt and cousin. I love the shape and the color it adds to any neutral outfit. I instinctively wanted to wear black flats with this look, but they seemed too sweet and matchy.

Big Comfy Sweater

Hey guys! This H&M sweater is the comfiest thing I have ever owned. It's the perfect combination of slouchy, soft, and big. As if that wasn't enough, it has this cool soft striped effect that reminds me of the '70s. I played off the relaxed vibe with ripped jeans and grey Steve Madden boots. This outfit makes me wish I looked relaxed and vintage everyday. I recently bought a patterned blouse at Zara that fits that look, but I love my preppy getups!
