Happy Holidays!

Happy holidays everyone! I am finally off from school and I cannot be happier to relax and have fun with my friends and family. I had a really tough semester at school and it feels so good to have a break. Today was my sisters birthday and I went out to lunch with her and had a wonderful time. After that we spent the day relaxing and my dad made a lovely dinner (raviolis yum!).

I found out about necessary clothing from another blog I read regularly call somethingnavy. They are an affordably priced clothing store with several locations in New York City. I, however, purchased this sweater along with several other items from their brand new website. Click the link to check it out!

The shoes are something that I have been looking for for a while. I found similar ones from very high end brand that were well out of my price range. I asked Tony to look for some leopard print loafers for my Christmas present and he got me these lovelies from Steve Madden and I could not be more pleased.

I wish everyone the happiest of holidays! And if you are off from school or work I wish you a relaxing and enjoyable break! Missed you all

Finally got the maxi skirt that I have been wanting. It fits perfectly too so I am pleased! Since this was the first time wearing this skirt, I wasn't too daring with what I paired it with. I thought that the basic white v-neck was a good place to start, but I am definitely excited about pairing this skirt with some different pieces and dressing it up and down.
Also, yes, I am well aware of my forever 21 addiction. They say that admitting you have a problem is the first step.

I have recently discovered The Man Repeller (and by recently I mean yesterday). I know. Most of you that follow style blogs are going to be like, "OMG! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?" I, myself, am wondering the same thing.
I happened to stumble onto her blog yesterday and was immediately inspired to "repel" some men! So that is why I have chosen this outfit. Tony's reaction of "What the heck are you wearing?" strangely delighted me when he saw me this morning.

As far as what I did today in this ensemble, it was not very eventful. I went to work on campus and then went to the super market to get the makings for the tacos that we had for dinner (which were delicious).
I'm not sure if my relatively conservative campus community is quite ready for man repellant, but frankly I've decided to stop caring about that. That exact point is part of the reason why I started this blog in the first place!

That's all for now!

Nothing brightens my day like wearing a new pair of shoes! Especially these adorable gold flecked wingtips from forever21. They were the perfect little eclectic piece to add to this funky outfit. I was also very excited to style my latest DIY creation. I am really going to miss wearing crop tops when it starts getting cold out!

Might I say its good to be back!

Finally, I am back with an outfit post!

shirt: H&M
shorts: delia's
belt: forever 21
hat: forever 21
shoes: target
sunglasses: pacsun
ring: forever21

This shirt was purchased intentionally way too big, so I have no idea what the shirt would look like on in my actual size. I was hoping that it would be long enough to be a mini dress, but alas no. I am still loving the baggy awesomeness of this shirt and I think it will look awesome with jeans in the fall.

After enjoying a wonderful meal with Tony at a local pizzeria, I paid the bill and got up to leave. As I reached the door, I noticed a table of 6 older women staring at me. I paused and looked down to see if I got pizza sauce on my shirt. After seeing no obvious blemish I became quite perplexed. Confused, I smiled at them and turned to leave. As I turned, I heard one woman not-so-discreetly mutter to the woman next to her, "My gosh, could you get any skinnier?" I turned around and saw the other woman shaking her head judgmentally. I heard other whispers from the other women which I couldn't quite make out, but I did pick up words like "anorexic". As I exited the pizzeria and walked down the street, I was absolutely flabbergasted by these comments. I mean, they had just sat three tables away while I stuffed my mouth full of pizza, how could they possibly believe that I was anorexic?

I am very proud of my body and I take very good care of myself and my health. However, when I was younger I was embarrassed that the other girls my age had much more shapely figures then I did. Now that I am in college, I have come to terms with what I was born with, but comments that imply that there is something wrong with me still bother me somewhat.

Sorry for the rant, but it was on my mind. In this outfit of the day I am introducing my favorite shorts. =)
