Rain rain go away

The rain seriously limits my shoe choices. I am extremely anti-rain boots. I do own them but I really try not to wear them unless the very thought of going outside makes my socks feel wet. They are just ugly and not very comfortable at all. If any of you can show me a pair of chic, sleek rain boots, please send those pictures my way. That being said, this is what I wore today even though it was raining.

sweater: pac sun
jeans: pac sun
boots: libby edelman via famous footwear

This shoe purchase was one of the highlights of my shopping career. These boots were priced at $80 but after all was said and done I got them for $10. At the same time that I bought these boots I bought another pair of boots originally priced and $150 for $36. Seriously the most amazing deal I have ever gotten. I have loved famous footwear ever since.

I am also seriously feeling the mullet hemline on this sweater. I bought this sweater when I went into pac sun looking for a pair of shorts. Of course I couldn't resist buying it!

I'm off to study for a linear algebra quiz...so college

Goodbye summer, goodbye tan

The worst blogger award goes to....
me... I am seriously the worst with these month long hiatuses! But I'm back!

blouse: ann taylor
shorts: delia's
belt: H&M
watch: BORA from a boutique in my town
wrap bracelet: my sister bought it! doesn't she have the nicest taste?
booties: wetseal

Aren't you all proud that I am not wearing a single piece from forever 21? It is shocking to me as well. I have spent months lusting over this style of ankle boots. Most of the ones that I was looking at were quite expensive and I am on the budget of a lowly college student *le sigh* I saw a pair in Nine West that were literally identical to these, but were more than double the price.

I am normally not a big Wetseal shopper because other times that I have gone into that store I have felt too old to be there if that makes sense. But, last time I was at the mall I happened upon these beauties and was in love. They also appear to be fairly well made so I don't have to live in fear of having to part with my lovelies before I am ready to.

In life news, I spent the last week of my summer vacation sick with a fever! Major bummer but it does explain at least part of my blogging absence. Now school has started and the warm, sunny weather is starting to fade. I kind of love fall fashion though so it isn't bad at all! Hope you all enjoy this post and I will try my best to keep up the outfit posts and such in between classes!

the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms

shirt: H&M
skirt: pac sun
shoes: charlotte russe

Today, Tony and I went to the gym and played basketball for 2 hours! Let me tell you it wore me out! I'm so beat right now, I'm off so bed right after this post gets published!
I thought that this was a really unique and girly way to pull off the canvas combat boots. I also like that the skirt is sort of like running shorts material, so it's super comfortable. I've seen a lot of shirts like this one and I normally wouldn't have thought it would be something I would pick up. But it was on sale and as a shopping addict I couldn't resist at least trying it on. As soon as I put it on I started thinking of all the ways I could style it, so off to the cash register I went.
I hope you all enjoy this post! Talk to you soon!

Peking

shirt: american apparel
shorts: pac sun
shoes: charlotte russe

Extremely busy day today. After working all day, Tony and I got in the car and drove to his house. Right after that we went to dinner at a great restaurant called Peking (hence the name of the title). I am SO ready for a great night of sleep. I wish I could have had some natural light for the pictures, but I think the dogs look great. Rex and Roman are the kindest, sweetest dogs and would never hurt a fly, but you would never guess that by looking at them! They look like beasts!

My hair is in a french braid done to the side and tucked under so that it looks like I have shorter hair.  I think my favorite part of this is that the sear sucker shorts and polo shirt give it a preppy appeal, but the distressed, almost acid washed look of the shirt and the combat boot-like shoes give it a dark side. Oh and did I mention? TGIF!!
