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?  

Mixed Neutrals

When: February 17, 2011

What:

Dress: Target

Cardigan: Oldnavy

Belt: Nordstrom B.P.

Tights: Forever 21

Boots: Target

Earrings: Anne Bocci Boutique

Where: Out to dinner at Local Boyz for my suite mate Amber's 19th birthday! 

Why: I got this dress over the weekend when I was in Portland, and I'm so glad I bought it! I've thought of a ton of different combos! This is what I did to dress it up for winter. I loved doing mixed neutrals: navy, gray, and brown. It all came together so nicely. This outfit made me feel great. (You can't really see my earrings, but they're adorable leaf earrings!) 

So the end of the week is upon us. My friends Flynn, Palmer and I (we are the ones with unique names) are just finishing up our Recycled Fashion Show 2011: Dumpsters to Diamonds entry. Look for photos on my portfolio page soon! 

And tomorrow Paul is coming to town for the Chi Omega masquerade ball! Expect photos this weekend. Next week is going to be hectic, I have a slew of deadlines falling on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, but it will all be worth it, because I will have some beautiful projects to share with you all.

Rich & Sassy

When: February 12, 2011


What:
Sweater: Gap
Scarf: a gift from Morocco
Jeans: Levi's
Boots: Target
Bag: Coach
Earrings: Anne Bocci Boutique

Where: Date night with Paul


Why: I didn't bring many clothes home for the weekend, so I threw together something comfortable yet still special. I feel like a total Oregonian in these boots! Paul and I ended up going to Famous Dave's, and let me tell you, that was a trip. The place is baby central. There are people feeding their children coleslaw which the children proceed to spit out onto the table. Other children are walking and eating corn simultaneously. It was a germaphobe's nightmare. Somehow, I expected more from a BBQ joint, but Paul kindly reminded me that that's a bit naive. It was also naive to wear white to a BBQ place. Later, we came back to my house and I goaded the reluctant Paul into playing Battleship, which he enjoyed. Win.


(PS: "Rich & Sassy" is Famous Dave's "go to sauce." Ha ha, I approve.)
