2012.03.14 - catch up

Another catch-up outfit today. I'm downstairs today because I didn't feel like wearing my shoes upstairs after walking around in the rain. 

shirt - Costco
belt - Alleykat
skirt - thrifted
tights - Forever21
socks - Daiso
oxfords - NordstromRack

Nothing to interesting here; I did pin up my bangs though because I slept on them weirdly or something. I only have one more old outfit to post, then I'll start taking pictures again for new outfits. I haven't been all that inspired lately due to school stuff, crappy colleges not giving me any financial aid, and being sick again (and hoping I'm not getting other people sick). Also, my grandma came back to the states from China, so I've been helping my mom keep her entertained.

I'm dog-sitting for my mom's friend again this week, as well, so I might post some pictures of Chelsea and my doggy playing.

I hope you all enjoyed March and have an even better April! Thanks for stopping by and remember to follow to see more.

OOTD 01.06.2012

Here's the outfit that I wore to school yesterday. I ended up falling asleep for 14 hours after getting off my computer...so that would explain why I am posting it today instead of yesterday.

I'm a pretty big wimp when it comes to cold weather, so I like to layer up. But, I don't want to look super bulky, so I try to wear clothing that is warm without being too thick. I wore black sweater leggings over a pair of thick, knit tights on bottom. The velvet dress I wore was featured in my recent haul. I only had to wear a camisole underneath to prevent the cold underside of the velvet from being directly on my skin. It is a very warm material and I only had to layer a long, knit cardigan over the top. Even though my waist wasn't really visible under my large cardigan, I still decided to belt the dress.

On my feet, I wore some lace-up, ankle boots that I just got at Nordstrom Rack. I love the crochet panels, but I didn't want my feet to the wind through them and my wide-knit tights so I also wore maroon knee high socks, which I scrunched down around the tops of my shoes.

Lastly, I wore this little pendant, which is a basket of flowers. It's actually a small pin, but I always find brooches and other small trinkets and re-purpose them as necklaces.

I hope the new year is going well for all of you and you haven't given up on your resolutions yet! I'm glad to be back on my blog and will post again soon, so check back! I will be trying to post during any free time I find between college apps, school work, and random stuff at home.

Thanks for reading!
