Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

When: March 3, 2011

What: 

Blazer: Mossimo Target via Goodwill

Jeans: Levi's

Necklace: Anthropoligie 

Tank top: Forever21

Heels: madden girl via TJ Maxx

Belt: American Eagle 

Where: Dumpsters to Diamonds: 21st Annual OSU Recycled Fashion Show

Why: This is my take on the Lauren Conrad look. Amber and I were talking about cute ways to wear those nude pumps, and this is what we discussed. The flash kind of washed this picture out, but those jeans definitely have more of a navy hue to them, then pictures. I got a lot of compliments and I felt positively sassy. Although, I feel like I need to invest in another tank top because this one becomes sheer when stretched, and when a camera flashes, my bra flashes back. It's like morse code. And yes, they did use mirrors to do morse code, I googled it. 

For the past week I've been feeling kind of sick. I have a weird bubbling stomach. I'm going to get tested for celiac disease over spring break. If I am gluten intolerant, I will go bezerk. Bread is my favorite thing in the world. I thrive off of bread, noodles, cookies, and oatmeal. My life will have peaked at age 19. 

This week is dead week. I have to start getting ready for finals, so this week may be on the low end for cute outfits. Except, on Tuesday I am going to a tennis match in Eugene that is going to have some of the big names like Sharipova, Federer, and my man, Nadal (*drool*). I'm thinking preppy, country club, comfy cute so I can catch his eye. ;) 

Also! Here is a video I took of the final walk of the recycled fashion show! It's really fun to watch. 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend! And please don't die during dead week. That would be bad. 

Power Animal

When: March 1, 2011

What:

Blazer: Mossimo Target via Goodwill

Top: Nordstrom B.P. 

Skirt: H&M

Heels: madden girl via TJ Maxx

Where: To an interview for OSU Office of Admissions TOUR Ambassadors 

Why: Readers, I'd like to introduce you to my new nude pumps. They are my new crush (sorry, Paul). I threw this outfit together before my interview. According to the weather, I should totally be wearing tights, but I feel like it's wrong to wear tights with nude pumps. They are nude. They should match my skin, which looks pink, but that's beside the point. Because I am lacking in the "business casual" department, I paired a flowy summer top and covered with a blazer. 

The interview went well! I have no idea where I stand, because there were so many qualified and well spoken candidates. Worst case scenario, I met some really cool adults that run campus recruitment. They all had senses of humor, which I totally dug. 

I got a laugh from one of the interviewers when I switched from my heels to topsiders after the interview. I was working business up top, party on the bottom. That's how I do. 

Recycled Fashion Show 2011

Thursday, March 3rd, 7pm

MU Ballroom

I saw this poster today in the library for the Dumpsters to Diamonds: Recycled Fashion show 2011. Are you excited?! I am.  

Classic Rock

When: February 21, 2011

What:

Sweater: Borrowed from my suitemate, Amber 

Tank top: Forever 21

Skirt: Nordstrom B.P. 

Tights: Betsey Johnson at TJ Maxx

Boots: Target

Belt: Nordstrom B.P. 

Where: Chi Omega Chapter Meeting

Why: Honestly, I've worn this outfit more than once. I wanted to wear it again so I could show you all! I called this outfit classic rock, because without the shoes, it's just "classic." I get told a lot that I'm classy, but prim and proper are two things that I am not. I like a little edge to my class, and here it is. I know you're seeing a lot of these boots, so I hope you aren't getting wary, because you'll just have to deal with it. I am in a love affair with these boots. And the skirt I call "a Marilyn" because I was in New York City last summer and totally caught a breeze. 

I am exhausted. We have been SLAVING over Recycled Fashion show dress. I know this is my outfit from Monday, but as I type it is the end of Tuesday, and we just finished the dress. But I've decided, I'm not showing you any pictures until the fashion show happens! Ha, let's see if I can keep my excitement in check. 

Also, today I rediscovered the double shot of espresso. Magic in a can, need I say more?  

D&B Duck Hunting

When: February 19, 2011

What:

Coat: Nordstrom B.P. 

Jeans: Levi's

Scarf: My mom's 

Sweater: American Eagle

Shoes: Nordstrom

Where: Out to breakfast with Paul and antiquing 

Why: Let's be real, it's COLD out. I wore my first ever peacoat that I got in 8th grade when I went through my Pride & Prejudice phase. It's still serving me well! My goals in choosing this outfit were to be comfortable, casual and simply stylish. I wasn't trying to make any statements today, like "Hello, I'm a fashionista!" This is purely me. 

Paul and I had an amazing breakfast at the Broken Yoke. The waitress told me that my makeup looked great, which was an added bonus. Ha ha. Afterwards we explored Corvallis. I was on the hunt for some antique stores because my roommate told me she saw some old Dooney & Bourke bags in a store for cheap. Although, my hunting was to no avail. Yet, the hunt is not over, it is duck season (maybe, idk) and I will find my D&B. 

Also, I hope you enjoyed my "teen vogue" pose above. Uber modelesque, no?

Hope you all had a great weekend! I've been working extremely hard this weekend. I'm finishing up the Recycled Fashion show dress with my teammates Flynn and Palmer. I also just finished a bracelet I was making for a design project. Expect pictures soon! 

My friend Grace and I are also playing around with the idea of doing Topsider Tuesdays! Although, that will start after she gets them for her birthday in April. :)
