Fall Purchases: Plain and Simple

I've been doing an unhealthy amount of shopping over the last few weeks (I'm totally blaming ASOS and their 50% off sale for pushing me over the edge), and thought I'd share a few items out of the dozens I've actually bought. Did you really expect anything more than the basics from me? I didn't think so! I've tried to fight this urge for minimalist perfection, but always succumb to the beige coloured, stripe filled, black leathery goodness of plain pieces. I've decided to stop fighting this battle and just accept that I have boring wants!

I was in desperate need of leather goods, so much so that I scoured the depths of the internet to find this beauty. To be honest, I'm thinking this site is a scam site, but my desperation left me vulnerable to taking that risk. I screamed when I found a pleated leather skirt, for under a hundred dollars, custom made to my size... I just had to take the risk. *shakes head into a faceplam* To be quite honest, everything purchased after this skirt was bought to be worn with it... Can you fall in love with an item of clothing you've never met? Lets hope I'm not left disappointed like the many times before, and if I am, I also bought this ASOS Curve Suede Drapey Skirt to cry myself to sleep with, so all will be well!

Say Hello, Then Say Farewell To The Places You Know

Sweater Old Navy | Stripe Shirt Forever 21 | Pants Torrid | Necklace Aldo | Bag Dorothy Perkins | Shoes BFT

A few of you have emailed me about the virus page that was appearing when you tried to view this blog; from what I can tell, Google has cleared up this issue, so hopefully everything is back to normal. Thank you to those of you who noticed and informed me about this issue!

I'm about to head out for a bite to eat with some old friends and I thought I'd snap a few photos for you guys before doing so. Honestly, today I went to school in a completely different outfit, and came home to change... I'm such a imposter sometimes. I'm sure if anyone ever recognized me from this blog, they would think I was a complete fraud, lol.

Can I just take a moment to say that this shirt is single-handedly the best thing I have EVER found in a forever 21 store. Every time I wear it, I get a bunch of complements, but also a hand full of creeps staring straight into my cleavage... I guess you can't win them all. *shrug*

I Was Just Totally Clueless

Sweater & Skirt H&M | Button Down Old Navy | Necklace & Bag Aldo | Boots Doc Martin

The whole button down shirt under a sweater thing, has some how become my "go to look" over the last few weeks. This combo reminds me a lot of Alicia Silverstone's character Cher Horowitz in Clueless, but with a personal twist (the doc martins, of course!) I have to admit, though she wore every pastel colour known to man, she was always polished and slightly overdressed... Two things I'm trying to apply to my daily dressing regiment.

I've found that fashion students tend to overdress on a daily basis, and somewhere in the sea of sky-high heels, make-up, and perfectly primped hair, I'm trying to keep my integrity and stay true to my own personal style. So far, I'm succeeding, lets hope this continues throughout the year. Anyways, I can almost guarantee that you'll all be sick of me wearing variations of this outfit by the time fall is finished. :)

Back to School

As you can tell from my lack of posts, I went back to school. On September 6th, I started my two year fashion design program. Now normally, I'm very good at multitasking whatever life throws at me, but this time, not so much. Being out of school for a year has made my time management & organizational skills, rusty. Thus, putting blogging on a back burner. I hope to get a few outfit posts up soon, update you guys on a few of my projects, but for now, here are some shots of my fresh (and overly expensive) school supplies.
