Snow White

When: February 24, 2011

What:

Sweater: J. Crew

Boots: Hunter

Jeans: Levi's

Belt: American Eagle

Where: To classes and out in the snow! 

Why: If you've ever been in Oregon snow, rain boots are a must. The snow is usually short lived, so snow boots aren't really necessary unless you're a mountain dweller. Although, there are some pretty sassy Sorel boots out there. Wearing this sweater I was so warm! It was all I needed. I was going for the winter white here. Now that I look back, I would have liked to style this outfit with a skinny black belt around the waist and either some pearls or a chunky scarf, depending on my mood. Unfortunately, I will probably never do that because I just found out that I'm allergic to wool, and this is 18%. If it's 100% I get a rash, but this just made my whole body itchy. I get itchy just thinking about it. So, I will either be consigning this sweater or giving it my mom (she would look beautiful in it). Now, all I have is a picture to show me fond memories of its beauty. 

The groundhog lied. Early spring my ass. Although, today (Wednesday) is sunny and freezing. I can get a tan if I sit indoors by a window. So I guess spring is on its way, but that groundhog needs to get off the shrooms. 

Don't judge me for this, but last night I saw the Justin Bieber movie and I LOVED it. Every second of it. It was well put together, and J.B. is a true talent. Think what you want, but don't try to argue with me about it. I am woman that is smitten and unswayable.

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. :)
