Old Friend

Hey guys! This dress does not get the proper attention in the blogosphere. I've worn this tank/dress combo tons of times in the summer because it's so easy. I feel like I've been filtering my outfits (and being lazy...) so the same nicer pieces always show up in posts when I actually wear a wider variety of pieces. I also found this list of all the clothes I own (call me OCD, but it's handy!) and it inspired me to try to wear everything in my closet. If I haven't worn a piece by the end of 2011, it's going in the Goodwill pile. Speaking of Goodwill, I've been more interested in thrifting lately and, after this insanely busy month of school is over, I've decided to go on a thrifting adventure. I actually haven't bought new clothes since about October, which is really rare for me. I'm becoming more aware of how expensive constant shopping is and I would rather have a few unique pieces than a bunch of clothes that look the same.

Unexpected Pair

Hey guys! I'm not sure if this is a duh! moment, but I recently realized that navy and turquoise go nicely together. Usually I wear turquoise (a whole subsection of my wardrobe) with white or brown but this looks so much better. This weekend I got a little eager and dug out my summer clothes. It was sunny and in the 80s, so beautiful! Today was absolutely crazy at school (five tests and a quiz!) so I decided to dress up to keep me in a good mood. Usually when I'm up late studying and have a busy day I feel like curling up in sweats, but dressing nicely actually makes me more alert and puts me in a better mood. This is my favorite kind of outfit because it's simple, colorful, and comfortable. And my gold flats brighten up any day!
