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.

Snow Means Snow



So you've seen a lot of pictures of me taken by my friends, but you haven't really seen an exhibition of my skills yet. When starting this blog I thought I  would be taking pictures of myself, but most of what you seen has been me handing my camera to a friend and saying, "Will you snap a few pictures for me, please?" Alas, I am still in the works of purchasing a tripod, so I guess we all have something to look forward to. I can't wait until I'm taking my own photos!  


I woke up this morning and looked out the window, turned to my roommate Victoria and said, "Are you serious?" I pretty much went on a photography expedition on my way to biology lecture this morning. I also have an outfit to show you, but I'll post that a little later. 


I hope you enjoy seeing what my morning looked like today! Click on the pictures to see a larger version.
