New York

My first view of part of the skyline.

I haven't forgotten about my blog, don't worry! I have been in New York for a little over 24 hours now and I've been in class for 6 of those hours. I'm exhausted and most of my clothes haven't arrived here yet, so I'll post some outfit photos as soon as they arrive!

I think that this semester will be interesting. I'll have a lot of challenges, and a lot of things to figure out. I don't know where I want my life to go, and, as I'm officially, after today, over halfway through my college career, I should probably make an attempt at figuring that out. 

I am going job hunting tomorrow! Wish me luck!

New hairrrr

platform sandals: urban outfitters, dress (isn't it amazing?!): forever 21, bag, denim shirt and sunglasses: thrifted, jewelry: gifts, vintage

I cut my hair for the first time in over 2 years and I look like a baby and I love it so much. And I got it colored... ombre! I also love this dress... like, a lot. It's my favorite. And I have a lot of dresses. 

Also, just so you know, all of Romwe's bestselling items are currently discounted, and I can't stop drooling over them. They're going ridiculously fast, however, so click on the link below and shopppp!

Also, I'm planning on hosting a giveaway soon... so stay tuned.

dress: c/o Oasap, shoes: urbanog.com, socks: target, everything else: thrifted

Hello everyone! I will have different hair in the next outfit that I post - I'm not positive what I'm doing with it yet, but I have an appointment at 1 this afternoon! I'm nervous, I haven't cut my hair in over 2 years and I haven't colored it anything other than red in the same length of time. It should be interesting!

Unfortunately I don't have a lot of time to write a nice rant again, so I'm making up for it with a few more photos than I've been posting lately. I now have to let my mom parade me around to her friends so they can see me "one last time before I leave". Okay mom, since I care a lot about seeing your friends and not my own. I suppose when you get old the only thing you have left to do is parade your children around, though. How sad that it's me she has to parade around.

The important stuff

orange high waisted shorts: c/o Romwe, earrings: c/o Romwe, dress worn as top: c/o Oasap, combat boots and necklace: urban outfitters

Mod + Denim

bag and loafers: thrifted, dress: c/o Oasap.com, sunglasses: c/o Oasap.com, socks: ebay, earrings: thrifted

How adorable is this dress? I wore it to work and got at least 10 compliments. I absolutely love it and it fits wonderfully. 

Since school has started for many people, and is about to start for many more, I've decided to share a few of my very favorite jeans that are out there at the moment. And I hope that some of you are richer than me and can actually buy them!

sigh:

drooling so much over all of these...

faux leather

dress worn as top: forever 21, faux leather skirt: forever 21, combat boots: urban outfitters, leather bag: thrifted, cross earrings: forever 21

I've been buying so much stuff from work lately, it's ridiculous. These two things, along with a faux fur leopard coat I got on sale for $15 today, are my very last forever 21 purchases before I leave for New York - I promise! 

I plan to find another retail job when I get back to the Big Apple, hopefully at an Urban Outfitters instead of Forever 21, but we'll see! I really enjoy working retail - I wasn't sure I'd like it, but I definitely do. I love the people I work with - we all have similar interests and I get along with them so well. I hope that I'll feel the same about my co-workers in my next job!

You say that they've all left you behind

shirt, shorts, belt: thrifted, hat, earrings: forever 21, boots, top: urban outfitters

Hello there,

My face is slightly less swollen, thankfully. You can still see my cheek chubbiness a tiny bit in these photos but it's mostly under control. 

I go back to New York in exactly one week. 

Also, this song makes me cry:

stripes

skirt: forever 21, combat boots: urban outfitters, crop top: h&m, acid wash shirt: thrifted, sunglasses: charming charlie

sorry I've been MIA, I got my wisdom teeth out on monday and my face is still ridiculously swollen. Unfortunately I have to go back to work today as a chipmunk. I'm preparing myself to be mocked by my coworkers through my suffering. 

I go back to New York in a little over a week. I'm nervous. 

xoxo

You are dreaming

satchel and sandals: ???, dress, belt, sunglasses: thrifted, blouse: forever 21, clock necklace: primark

I'm so in love with this dress. I bought it so that I could cut it up into a matching crop top/skirt set but I can't do it. It's too lovely. 

I really love this outfit. Wearing it to work today!

listen to this:

Lately

Outfit 1: romper: forever 21, floral crown: DIY, oxfords: urban outfitters, bag: thrifted

Outfit 2: crop top: topshop, skirt and sandals: urban outfitters, sunglasses and belt: thrifted

just a couple of my latest outfits. I bought the crop top at the new topshop in Chicago. I've been wanting it all summer and I'm so glad it's finally mine :)

Is everyone enjoying their August?
