Tailored

Shirt: Forever 21, Shorts and Watch: Nordstrom BP. Shoes: Sperry Top Sider, Purse: Juicy Couture

I’ve recently become a little obsessed with classic oxford shirts. Especially after writing a whole post about it on CollegeFashionista. I pretty much convinced myself that every one needs a shirt like this. Typically, a white button up shirt is seen in a more professional setting. But at school, I made it casual by pairing it with some tailored shorts (same idea as tailored pants) and my favorite leopard shoes. My favorite part of this outfit was accessorizing with mixed metals. I’ve expressed before that I have always followed  “fashion rules,” but today I felt a little rebellious and mixed gold, black, and brass. I really liked the combination and I am excited to incorporate this mixture in more outfits. Yup, I owe this blog to bringing out my inner rebel.

Blush and Leopard

Blouse: Forever 21, Jeans: Local Store, Shoes: Sperry Top Spider, Floral Planner: Target, Sunnies: Juicy Couture, Watch: Nordstrom BP. 

I have been wanting leopard ballet flats for a while, especially after seeing outfits like this and this. But one day, as I was passing the shoe isle of Nordstrom Rack, and this pair of Sperry’s just spoke to me! You know that Pier 1 commercials where the products start talking? Well, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. After debating for like 2 hours on whether to get them or not, I decided to buy them and I am so glad I did. Leopard shoes are actually really versatile, and the boat shoe style has been really comfortable while walking around campus. I paired it with my favorite blush blouse that has a pretty coral trim.

Side Note: I am such a freak when it comes to buying a planner for the school year. Not only does it have to be cute, but it has to have ample amount of space to write my overly detailed scheduled and to do lists. This one from Target has been my favorite one ever! So much so that I had to show on here.

A Date Night Confession

Shirt: Last Kiss, Jeans: Target, Scarf: SUO Boutique, Shoes: Franco Sarto via TJMaxx, Watch: Nordstrom, Purse: H&M, Cuff: TJMaxx (borrowed from my mom)

Although my boyfriend and I have been together for a while, our date routine never gets old. Dinner and a movie. Okay, it’s not very original, but it really is the best date night combination. Over the weekend we went to my favorite cafe that has the best pear endive salad. Then we went to go watch the Dark Knight Rises, again. (My boyfriend is a huge batman fan). But here’s a little secret, I tend to sneak in treats into the theater. And I’m not talking about a bag of M&Ms. Nope, I’m talking frozen yogurt, Starbucks, and cupcakes! Yes, you heard right. I’m one of those people. I’m glad I finally got that out in the open. As for my outfit, I wore these red pants, also seen here. I am still easing my way into wearing such a bold color, that I paired it with a simple white blouse. I thew on a fun over sized scarf and small wedge. I knew were going to watch the Dark Night Rises, so I wanted to be comfortable while sitting for 3 hours. So worth it though! Does anyone else get chocked up when Alfred cries? Man, it gets me every time.

Channeling Blake Lively

Shirt: Boutique from Soho, NY, Pants: Forever 21, Shoes: Skechers, Watch: Nordstrom, Purse: Juicy Couture

About a year ago I saw this picture of Blake Lively.

I remember thinking, “I NEED those shoes!” After looking around the internet I saw that they were Sperry Top-Sider. Unfortunately, I had a really hard time finding the blue ones in the stores. Then on Christmas Eve, my boyfriend surprised me with this pair of blue boat shoes from Skechers. They are from a line called Bobs (very similar concept like TOMS). I was thrilled! They are a great pair of shoes to have. They are comfortable and go with a lot of things. Since my wardrobe consists of blues, whites, and stripes, I can always throw these on without hesitation.  So my outfit today was inspired by the picture above. I wore my pants and favorite stripe tank top. It’s loose fitting and adorned with a gold sequenced anchor. It basically screams my name!
