Snowed In

Snowed In by wanna-be-fashionista featuring black leggings

So, if you're anything like me (and what seems like the rest of the country) you're experiencing bitter cold weather and you may even be snowed in. I'll admit, the idea of a snow day is always exciting, but that's usually when I'm in school and get an extra 24 hours to work on that assignment I didn't do my best on, not when I'm still on winter break at my parents house and dying to get out! I haven't even been able to hit the gym all week!

Luckily, things are looking up, tomorrow central Indiana's forecast calls for warm and sunny 30 degrees tomorrow, which is 60 whole degrees warmer than today and yesterday, so I guess I'll take it.

The good new is, being snowed in takes the pressure off of looking too nice, but who's to say you can't still chill (or get work done) in style? I don't know about you all, but I've been rocking variations of this look for the past few days, comfy, cute and warm!

But I must say, I'm ready for a little freedom from my house (and bed). School starts in two weeks and I've got to get my mind into school mode again. Every semester is a step closer to real adulthood *shudders* not sure I'm ready, but it's going to come eventually! 

I hope you all are staying warm and safe, and those of you starting school this week, good luck, start strong!

Best,

Rediscovering Ramen Fashion

It's no secret that from time to time I have had trouble updating this blog, sometimes my fashion blog on tumblr and weight loss blog for the org I am in takes precedence, which really sucks because I love doing what I do on here.

After being accepted to Teen Vogue Fashion University (post coming soon, promise) and attending it, I realized that I was seriously slacking when it came to well, everything. I hatched this idea to completely relaunch this blog, which I wanted to happen on January 1st. However, the reality was (and is) I can't do it alone. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I know plenty of talented people, but none too willing to take on this endeavor with me just yet. A lot of people scoff at the thought of running a blog being hard work, but the truth is, whether you have 1 reader or a million, it is in fact a lot of hard work.

It comes down to consistency and that is what this blog has been lacking, consistent posts from me, the author and for that, I apologize. Every break I get from college my goal is to always generate enough posts so that I at least have something to post once a week. The problem with that is fashion is always changing. Sure, I could make 5 posts over break about trends I've seen while in Indianapolis, but the truth is, that might not be the same in Missouri and fads (like those god awful sneaker wedges that are still ever so slowly on their way out) wouldn't be represented fairly.

The good news is, I'm committed to this, I can actually say, this is a top priority especially as I begin to apply for internships. I want to put my best foot forward and let my style and love for clothes shine through.

With that said, I would like to apologize (yet again) for the changes that will inevitably occur over the next month (at least) with the layout, look and feel of this blog. Yes, it's about the clothes, but a new year calls for a switch up. I'm talking different fonts, better tags so you guys can track what I like most and personal posts, like this one, because of course there will be some of those.

So finally, I close with this: Thank you. Thanks for the emails, the comments, the shares and recommendations you all have made for me, words cannot express how much I appreciate it, I am truly thankful, you all are awesome!

I hope you all are having great starts to your new year and I can't wait to see what it brings for all of us! Should be great!

Much love,

Brittany

Go Colts!

Go Colts! by wanna-be-fashionista featuring tall boots

You all may or may not know this, but I love football! My favorite team (besides Mizzou of course) are the Indianapolis Colts! My boys advanced to the playoffs this season and play their first game today against the Kansas City Cheifs and this lucky girl has tickets! 

I want to make sure I was comfy, but warm walking to the stadium and cheering on my team, so I went for a long sleeve shirt and winter vest. It's the perfect fashion forward combo, but will also keep me comfortable and warm. 

I opted for riding boots instead of UGGS because mine are a bit cheaper (or a lot cheaper!) so if any fans get a little too crazy, my boots won't suffer because of it. However, with the amount of snow we've gotten here in Indiana, I might go for my Hunter rain boots instead! 

What do you like to wear on game day? I'd love to get ideas! 

In the meantime, go Colts! 

                                                   

NYE Under $150

NYE by wanna-be-fashionista featuring long sleeve dresses

Happy New Year! I hope you all enjoyed your holidays and your New Years Eve! Unfortunately, I was sick during the holidays and didn't have much energy to go out last night, but I did enjoy a night back at my hometown church and watching the ball drop from my parent's big comfy chair.

I'd like to think if I did go out, this is what I would have ended up in. Most girls go for sequins, but I personally think looking sleek in black, hints of gold and pearls will never be a bad idea! Plus, this outfit pictured above is all under $150 and they are all pieces you can wear again (unlike that sequined two piece outfit Miley choose to wear, am I right?).

Anyway, I trust you all had a wonderful night and hopefully a fun day of recovering. I wish you all luck, prosperity and many blessings in the new year. I know it's going to be great!

Stay Beautiful,

Brittany
