HALLOWEEN!

So after searching countless costume shops and making dozens of Ployvore sets my roommate and I have found our costumes for Halloween!

Michele likes to go all out (hence why she's being a devil) where as I'm more laid back and chill (and refused to wear anything other than leggings). So, superman excuse me, woman it is. So now we've got everything, I just have to wait to get paid, go shopping and we'll be ready to go!

Ahhh so excited! Not to mention, it's homecoming week (Mizzou, my school invited it btdubs) so the parties are going to be AMAZING!

Yeah, this weekend is going to be awesome.

What I Wore: Summer School

Well it's Wednesday and for me that means it' my rest day, it's the day I don't work out I (usually) don't work and I always make sure my homework is done so I can just chill. Rest day Wednesdays is something I started this summer and it's been so good I think I'll stick to it during the school year too. It's just nice to be able to wear something cute to class and makeup and not have to take it all off to work out 20 minutes later.


So today I took advantage of it and dressed a little nicer than I usually do for class (let's be honest, I dress for the gym).


I decided showing off my school spirit wouldn't be a bad idea (truth be told I just wanted to wear my new Mizzou V-neck). Let's be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of my schools colors (yellow? YUCK!) so I do my best to buy the cute girly stuff that still shows my support for my school. With that said, here is what I wore to class.

DIY Shorts: Old Navy $25

Mizzou V-neck: Tiger Spirit (Downtown Columbia, MO) $15

Jacket: American Eagle $20

Cream TOMS: Toms.com $44

Lacoste Frames (Glasses): $65 

It's Beginning to Look a lot like Spring!

It's sunny and warm here in Columbia and I can't help, but sit in class and think about spring! March is 2 days away and based on this weather I feel like spring is coming faster than we expect. So I figured I'd put together a Polyvore set of a few things I've got my eye out for in the next coming months. Now if only I could find a job! Anyone hiring?

Fashion vs. Journalism?

So I am in my first TAM (Textile & Apparel Management) class this semester and so far I love it! The first few days were full of stuff that watching shows like The City and paying attention in Econ senior year taught me, but it was cool to see it applied to what I want to do.

Being in that class is so exciting. I feel the way I felt when I used to learn new things about journalism, but now that feeling for journalism is dwindling. I know I still have a lot to learn about the journalism industry, just as I still have a lot to learn about the fashion industry, but I used to get so excited to learn new things about the journalism industry and now I just don't.

As of now I am double majoring in Journalism and Mizzou's TAM program with a minor in business, but I could see that changing. I'm not sure. I think I should definitely get through my first  college journalism class before I rule anything out.

I know both industries can be hard to break into, but as of now I have more of a push for fashion. It's hard for me, I never really thought I'd even consider giving up on journalism. I've always wanted to do something with writing since Kindergarten! It's scary to even admit that I might be changing my mind.

At this point only time will tell.

Until next time, stay fabulous!

Back to School

Well, school is officially back in full swing and I couldn't be happier.


Secretly one of my "resolutions" was to dress nicer for class, that lasted two days because today I was scrubbing (looking rough) and I had no shame! I mean I am there to learn before anything else right?


Above is a rendition of what I wore the first day of class. Only I wore leggings and a purple long-sleeved shirt with my gray knit UGGS. However, if I would have had all the outfit pieces I would have worn something more like what is pictured above.  It's simple and comfy yet fashion forward enough to look put together as you go to your classes.


But today I just couldn't say no to one of my oversized sweatshirts, leggings and moccasins. It's just too comfy! Maybe I'll try harder tomorrow :P


No matter what you strut to class in, I hope you all have a wonderful semester! I know I plan to!

It is finally time for me to go back to school and tomorrow my family and I will be making the 7 hour trip back to Columbia. It's almost too good to be true, I have missed college so much!

Naturally, I'll be squeeze-puffing it (leggings with an oversized sweatshirt or noodie). I mean I will be in a car with my family for 7 hours or more, I need to at least be comfy. I'll also be putting my new Dr. Dre Beats headphones to use, so I don't have to hear my brother and sister fighting and my mom yelling or worse...snoring.

But I told myself I was going to enjoy this time, it is the last time I'll be with my family for a while, so might as well make the best of it.

Enjoy your 3-day weekend!
