cord skirt #2

When I got dressed this morning I really didn't think about this... but this is my second post in a row wearing a cord skirt (different cord skirts? I don't know if I should own multiple). This one is from J.Crew, and is such a nice navy blue, I couldn't resist

h&m button down
jcrew skirt
belt is stolen from my favorite 70's floral dress
nordstrom bracelet
minnetonka moccasins

 I think I remember just the other day telling my mom that I would never take pictures inside the dorm, that it would be better not to post than to put up pictures with such horrid fluorescent lights... but here I am, putting up pictures taken in the hallway! My apologies - we had just gotten back from dinner and didn't feel like going back up and down three flights of stairs (totally legitimate reason of course)




I'm really a fan of stealing this dress's belt and pairing it with other pieces in my wardrobe! It looks adorable with my yellow tshirt dress, and I'm loving it with the cord skirt! Technically as you can see I don't have belt loops, but do I let that stop me? Of course not. Pseudo-paperbag-waistline here I come! Also, how sparkly is this bracelet? I'm a fan.




I survived my hell day! Seriously, by about 10 last night I was ready to drop dead. Now I know what most college students feel like every day? I don't think I was built for this... But I leave for New York tomorrow! Packing needs to start happening soon - but less this year, since I hope to be bringing back many new pieces of clothing. Yes, the shopping ban is coming to an end. Get ready.

wait, it's fall now?

So I looked at my phone this morning to check the weather and saw that it would be around 60 degrees. I mean, ok, I can handle that... But then I step outside my dorm. And it's chilly! This was totally unexpected! I mean, I could handle 50s and 60s - in November. This is not what I left the frigid north for...

nordstrom cardigan
costco tank top (yes, they do exist. and are quite comfortable)
j brand cords
teva flip flops

I'm wearing flip flops in an outfit post! This is my first time doing this, not sure how I feel about it. It was just a flip flop day I guess? Oh, and this cardigan? I love how it kind of has a tweedy, Chanel look to it (at least it does in my head), but in reality it can get kind of annoying. You see, it has they hook-and-eyes, and they attach to the sleeves - basically it's slowly pulling itself to pieces. Drives me insane.

 And p.s., my cords are actually a dark shade of green. I'm realizing it doesn't look that way in the photos, just wanted to advertise that I'm wearing one of my much-beloved pairs of green pants :)




Sorry for the limited visibility of my owl, he's hiding. He's a bit shy...



It's Friday! Can't believe I've already had three weeks of school. Sophomore year is so much different than freshman year - and I think I'm enjoying it! I mean, we'll see what I have to say when classes really start to heat up and I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off - except, sadly, it's more likely that I'll get bored than get stressed. I know, I know. Don't hate me. It's just that so far, I haven't really had much to do! And when I have too much free time on my hands, I get stressed. So we shall see. Maybe I'll fill it all up by obsessively blogging and annoying you all with my pointless posting? Always an option... have a lovely weekend all :)
