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.

STOP! Hammer time!

All right, before you ask. YES. I got harem pants. I have been skeptical of this trend from the beginning, but I decided that I might as well try it. After seeing them in every fashion blog and in dozens of stores I became curious, so I purchased this pair from Forever 21. By the way, just as a warning, I took more pictures than normal for this one.

 I thought that they looked really silly, so I rolled them up and felt better about them. I can't help feeling like I'm wearing pajamas though!

 I also think that they make my butt look weird, but I am starting to get used to them.

Wow, repping f21 today! Didn't realize that until just now! Anyway, I still feel like I'm channeling MC Hammer a bit, but the harem pants are growing on me. That's all for now, talk to you soon!

living reflections from a dream

headband: pac sun
necklace: gift from my lovely sister

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. =)

good times bad times

shirt: forever 21
skirt: urban outfitters
shoes: target
earrings: pac sun

So I realized that A LOT of my summer wardrobe comes from pac sun. But really though their clothes just fit me right and they have some pretty reasonable prices especially when they have sales.
This week is going to be pretty light on work so I'll be able to post everyday which is good because I love taking photos and writing about different things. Talk to you all soon!

casual wednesdays

                                                            super casual on campus

                                                     note the sweet feather earrings

sweater: gap
t-shirt: boyfriend's (Tony) hanes v-neck undershirt
shorts: pac sun
belt: gap
shoes: target
earrings: pac sun

This is what I wore today. I normally wouldn't have worn white with white but there was something I loved about this especially with the bright blue in the sweater. (Also the white makes me look super tan!) I wore my hair in a messy fishtail braid on the side because I was much too lazy to do anything to it this morning, but I thought it looked pretty good. The earrings are probably my favorite part of this outfit but the picture that Tony took doesn't capture their awesomeness quite as well as I would have liked. I'm hoping to find my niche at this blogging thing pretty soon. Let me know what you think. Compliments and criticism welcomed.

TTFN
