the moose place

Well goodness, hello Houston! Allison at home is lazy lazy so I haven't been doing much of the looking cute thing this week. But tonight we went to dinner and the symphony, which is always exciting...but I took this picture in our court yard and there are SO MANY THINGS wrong with this outfit that I want to point out, but probably shouldnt.

But for next time:
1. Dont mix browns
2. Careful not to wear a volumous top and a volumous bottom.
3. Fix that hem!

One thing I DO like about this is the belt added to this shirt. I think it makes the shirt look more pulled together and less frumpy, which I always appreciate.

A week from Monday=Israel, 2 weeks from Tuesday=birthday, 3 weeks from Sunday=big apple!

you're dancin real slow

I was kind of disappointed with this outfit. It didnt work out as well as I wanted to. First off, it was NOT sunny today, so it wasnt entirely appropriate for the day and I had to wear a sweater with it. Next time Im going to wear a different belt or somehow fix this one.

But cool thing about this outfit: I bought this long, frumpy skirt at Orange Peel in Jackson, pulled it up to my chest to make it a dress! I belted it to give it a better structure. I never really like sleeveless dresses or tops, but this is super simple, easy and comfortable. This one stays up really well too! Im planning on investing in some more for sure.

Also, my mom may not be my temporary photographer for long...

So some things about this outfit:
1. The color combination...do I look like Christmas? I thought this American Apparel leotard had enough teal in the green to go with the red. When I originally tried this skirt on in Anthropologie, I paired it with a white blouse. I only bought it becaue it was on sale, I already had a white blouse and I had the full intention to return it. But when I tried it on with this leotard, I fell in love with it. The boldness of the color is awesome.

2. I found these sunglasses. If you lost them, or if I unintentionally stole them, I'm sorry. They had been sitting in the Tri-Delta bathroom for weeks and I wanted them so bad! But really,I like them a lot. I've never had brown sunglasses which is ridiculous because I own A TON of brown. I also really like he shape of them.




So far, I LOVE SUMMER. This has been a great week and today was a great way to end it. I feel like this outfit was the perfect way to celebrate all the wonderfulness that was this week! First of all, I spent a lot of much needed time with my lovely friends. Second, my grades were so much better than I expected, which was a HUGE relief as I had really been stressing about my semester GPA.

And the THIRD exciting thing that happened this week was: I GOT AN INTERNSHIP IN NEW YORK CITY! I start one month from today. I am desperately looking for places to live and things to do and people to meet. I can't wait! I am nervous and excited!

This outfit was so fitting for the confidence I felt today. After moving out of my dorm room all morning, I wanted to clean up for my afternoon activities! I went to a professor's house for lunch with some of the other Religious Studies ladies. Then I went straight to another professor's house for tea and cookies and a long discussion of life in New York. She helped me find some housing options and gave me a lot of tips. I then had a lovely get together with my friends to exchange birthday gifts. With the exception of one, all of our birthdays are in the summer and it is too much to get a gift for everyone, so we had a nice Secret Santa for birthdays.

It was really a great day and a great week. I'm going home tomorrow for two weeks. Then its off to Israel and then I move to the city!

nothing but blue skies

The ethic print skirt returns! I wasnt too sure this would translate to summer, and I'm still not sure it does BUT I am wearing it with the very summery American Apparel leotard. I had a mini leotard phase a few summers ago and they go with all sorts of skirts.

Lizzie and I had lunch in Fondren today and went to Orange Peel. I got a few things, I cant wait to show off my summer clothes!

awards day

I legitimately threw this outfit together. I started the day in a quilted black sleeveless dress that I LOVE but I felt so down and I really wanted a springy, artsy, more casual outfit for academic awards day. This is one of my favorite tops that I've bought so far this year and I desperately need to wear it more.

Also, I've been shopping. And soon I will be waking up to a clean, organized room and a walk in closet, so better summer outfits are sure to come :)

So it ends...

Its been a very busy end of the school year and unfortunately I have only two outfit posts to offer you from the last two weeks of school. I've been living in the library so my uniform has been Nike shorts, a Tri Delta Tshirt, my beloved chacos, and my bright pink Jon Hart backpack.

First, I love my navy shorts. Ive had them since high school, but there are some things I cant give up on. This is the first time I've tried this boyfriend oxford with bottoms other than skinny jeans, and this is so much more flattering. The necklace adds a lot of glam to it. And the little pin Im wearing is the "seniors only" pin we received at Eve of the Seventh Season. We're supposed to wear it once a month next year. Hmm.
