Spring into Fall

I love using summer and spring pieces and transforming them by adding tights, boots, a hat, and a leather jacket and creating the perfect fall look!

Color-Blocking in the Fall is so fun! If you are scared of the color-blocking trend color-blocking in the Fall is way less intimidating! The colors are less "offense" because they are more subdued. Would you try color-blocking in the Fall? I am sure I will be doing it all through fall and winter.

Fall Revisited

I am so excited about the FALL!! The colors, the layering, the crispness!!! Absolutely love! Here is one of my favorite outfits to sport during the fall! I am sure that I will be wearing this time and time again! Also, I am trying different things with my hair! I am currently "transitioning" when an one goes from having permed hair to natural hair! So I am practicing protective, heatless styles! What do you think? I love the vintage-ness of the bouffant look!

On an aesthetic note, I apologize for my beautiful recycle bin in the background it's just the natural beauty that comes  with dorm life and I just wanted to share it with ya'll :)

BTS: My "First" Day and What's in my Schoolbag?

Welcome to my Junior Year Dorm Room! I am sure you will see a lot of it! I might show you around because it is such a typical college dorm! So this is what I wore my first day back to university as a Junior. From being a "veteran" of sorts at the whole college game I knew to keep it casual and as "easy-breezy" as possible!

{Blouse, Jeans- Old Navy, Oxfords/Brogues - Dorothy Perkins, Necklace - Macy's}

I also decided it might be interesting for you to see what I put in my schoolbag for university!!! Just some things that one would need for their first couple of days of going to classes!

What's in my School Bag?

1. iPad - Perfect for notes, readings that are provided online, and looking over the syllabi online! 
2. 5-subject and small notebook - I like the feeling of writing notes (it's just more tangible for me) I have a large notebook for things in each class and the small notebook for ideas during class, small notes to self, and blog ideas ;) 
3. File Folder - Something to keep all the papers you get from all the classes is very important! 
4. Mints, Lotion, and Hand Sanitizer - Small things that every girl needs in her purse I think is equally as necessary in your school bag ;)
5. Dorm Keys/ Campus Card - These are my LIFE here at university I can literally not go anywhere without them.
6. Pencil Pouch - Just to keep all my pencils and cords that I need throughout the day. I also keep my headphones!

BTS: Last Days of Summer

Well...the time has come. The time to pack up your things, leave your childhood bed, and return to school :( I am sad this has been such a long and restful summer I literally can't imagine my brain being able to do homework again! 

Will be returning for my Junior Year at my university in a couple of days! So everything leading up to and when I get their is going to be hectic! So I decided to share with you one of my last days of summer outfits that I really enjoyed! 

I hope to be settled in and back in the rhythm of blogging once I am fully settled in to school!!! I hope everyone else heading back to school has "great" first days ;)

Everybody, Everywear: BTS - My Style Basic's

{Light Pink Button-Down and Fuchsia Pleated Skirt - Thrifted, Necklace - Gift, Shoes - Target} 

So for this next Back To School series post I wanted to put up an outfit post that highlighted "My Style Basics". Now to be clear I have kind of different style basics than most! However, overall style basics (at least in my opinion) are quite personal and varied!

My Top 5 Style Basics!

1. Comfortable Skirt - I am obviously in-love with skirts! I think it is important to have a classic and solid-colored skirt when going back to school! For me all I need is a basic t-shirt and some flats and I am good for almost everyday of the week! I am wearing one of my favorite skirts in my fave colors: Fuschia :)

2. Basic T-Shirts - As already mentioned,I am a strong advocated of just basic t-shirts! I love the ones from places like Forever21 and H&M, because they come in a wide variety of colors and are inexpensive! These shirts can be worn under cardigans, with skirts, and jeans! 

3. Cardigans - Another thing that I am unusually obsessed with are cardigans! I love them because they come in so many different weights and colors! I have light cardigans that I wear in the summer and spring and then, heavier cardigans that are perfect for fall and winter! I think they can add such dimension to an outfit be it adding color, texture, or just another layer! 

4. Flats - I love flats recently because at my university their are many hills and valleys with cobble-stone EVERYWHERE! Now if your college is anything like mine heels just don't work in that kind of environment. So I have become a lover of flats! I used to be a heels girl (and I believe I am in my heart :) However, college campuses require flats (or booties ;) 

5. Jeggings - I am sure everyone owns a pair or has their favorite pair of jeans that are perfectly worn in! Denim is an almost everyday wear for me when I am at college and I don't feel like dressing up or giving that much thought to an outfit! They are just so easy!!! Especially jeggings all you have to do is put them on, throw on a basic shirt, and a cardigan and you are pretty much good to go!
