Venturing

October 20, 2014

Shoes Enzo Angiolini / Shorts CHOIES / Cardigan Free People

Thanks to Choies, I’ve added a new piece to my ever growing closet! I just love the leopard print on these shorts, and have a handful of ideas for fall outfits that I can incorporate them into. These boots were certainly not made for tromping around in the baylands, but away I go! I played some wistful indie music in the car and saw a beautiful filtered view of the world through my sunglasses. The road was winding, but the sky was a steady and beautiful blue. I love to throw together fun and layered looks, like I did with this outfit. The high japanese-style bun has been one of my favorite hairstyles since the 8th grade. There’s a cute and playful vibe to a pouffy updo that I can never get enough of. It is a good hairstyle for the summertime, but I think a messy updo looks amazing with cold weather pieces like big scarves and cozy prints.

Peachy Sentiments

Dress Urban Outfitter/ Satchel Kate Spade / Rings F21

Here I am, enjoying the last glimpses of sun before the fall skies take over completely. I braided a tiny strand of my hair, threw on a maxidress, and grabbed my mint Kate Spade satchel. Seeing this dress is a total throwback to the Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Boston! Here is the story behind it. I was dressed up formally after touring a startup space during a Babson field trip. I didn’t know we were going to the Quincy Market afterwards, and didn’t bring my wallet with me. I only had about ten dollars in cash on me! I wasn’t sure how to spend the rest of the day wallet-less in a shopping area, but I knew I wanted to change my outfit, because I hated walking around in dress pants and a blazer. I went to an Urban Outfitters store and looked for a fun summery dress to spend the day in. I found this maxidress in my size, tried it on, and loved it! I bought it with an UO gift card that I happened to have in my bag, and changed into it immediately. Even though I spent most the day alone, (and a portion sitting in a cafe writing in my journal) I had a good time regardless. I think it was partly due to loving how this dress swished and sweeped as I walked through the streets.

Putting it on now instantly reminds me of that day in the Faneuil Hall Marketplace. I just love the pieces of clothing in my closet that have stories and fun memories behind them. It’s one of my favorite parts of wearing certain outfits. 🙂

Mean Streak

October 16, 2014

Dress TBDress/ Shoes Steve Madden / Lipstick YSL

We’ve all got a little mean in us…

The color black is a must in my moodier outfit ensembles. I like to pair it with fun, bold accessories, and a dash of daring. Thanks to TBDRess for making this fun post possible! As soon as this dress came in the mail, a million different pairing ideas flashed through my mind. For this look, I decided to play up my mean streak. I love the slimming effect that the white stripe has, and the overall minimal, sleek look of the dress.

Whimsical Rose

October 13, 2014

Skirt Forever 21/ Bag LV / Sweater UO / Bracelet Pandora

It’s the beginning to another lovely, warm week!

I took a stroll in a lovely flower garden, wearing a new rose-colored sweater that I am so excited to pair with future outfits. Dusty rose is probably one of my favorite clothing colors. It’s so feminine without being overbearing or too vivid. Recently, I’ve been all about the cute details. One of my favorite accessories has been my Pandora charm bracelet. I bought an adorable pink heart charm to represent my adventure in Boston, and I love seeing it on my wrist- a constant reminder of happy memories.
