Top- Free People via Lord and Taylor | Leggings- Aerie | Shoes- Converse | Bandeau- Victoria's Secret Pink | Necklace- c/o Best Personalized Jewelry | Ear Cuff- c/o HolyLand's Treasures
Everything I own that's Free People I just love. I really do. At first I found it difficult to style this tunic, partially because it's basically backless and I wanted to wear it to school, and partially because it's too long to wear with shorts but way too short to wear as a dress. I solved that problem with leggings and a longer bandeau and I got so many compliments when I wore this to school!!
So in my first three days of school, I wore two Free People outfits. Totally worth it--Free People is literally my favorite brand EVERRR. Anyone else agree?

My schedule for senior year comes out tomorrow! And so does the common app...all you rising seniors out there, are you gonna be working on apps this August? I am...
Today I'm off photoshoot-ing in some field or another with my friend Margaux. A good photoshoot makes any day better :)
This top and bottom are two of my newest purchases, for "back to school". I've already worn the shorts twice though so I guess my mom was right when she argued that I wasn't buying this stuff for back to school.
Still, super cute for summer right? I'm a sucker for "different" shorts and these definitely fit that profile (right up there with my crochet jean shorts--another favorite!). Happy almost August!
See how I've worn some of my favorite creative shorts before:
This trimester at school I'm taking Yoga as my PE. I am not the least bit flexible...I can't even touch my toes! But I've gotta say, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I am enjoying it. While it's going on, it's boring and sometimes painful, but when it's done it feels so good! And I actually feel like I'm getting flexible!!!
Anyways, here is just a casual look for those days when you're too tired to wear a skirt or dress or even jeans...yeah, it's that bad sometimes! Leggings and a loose tee and Converse are the solution to that! I dressed it up with some cute jewelry of course. I'm not one to wear anything TOO boring. Plus, look at the details on the back of this shirt from Too Sexy Store! I just love cutouts on the back of a shirt as you may remember from Spring. Love this shirt so much that I got it in cream, too! I've already got an outfit post planned for that color of the shirt :)
So I had this whole post written up about how I was not going Black Friday shopping blah blah blah and it went something like this: "I'm usually the first person online at the H+M at the mall on Black Friday. I'm that crazy lady who pushes people out of the way and whacks them with her super full shopping bags. I'm a store owner's nightmare because I'm a tornado and I try on EVERYTHING and buy like one thing. Once a year, I'm the evil Black Friday Fairy. But this year...I'm not. I won't spend all morning shopping. I won't get up at 1 AM to spend ten hours shopping."
And then I went on to say why:
"Well, first of all, my closet is kind of brimming with clothes right now. I don't have much extra room than what's already in there! And also, last year, I had a bad experience of waiting in the checkout line for TWO hours at H+M and it was exhausting. Well, more exhausting for my mom who stood there for the full two hours at 4AM while I wandered around. But still."
And then I even made myself feel better about it by saying:
"Finally, lots of places are offering free shipping and the same deals online as they are in stores! Why browse the crazy sale racks and navigate all of those evil crazy people *ahem me* when I can sit in my PJs on the couch with some nice music playing and shop online?? So that's what I'll be doing this year"
But then....I didn't do that.
I didn't because online shopping is a joke when you can go and do the REAL thing and touch all of the clothes instead of stroking your screen and try on all of the shoes instead of hoping they run true to size and experience the thrill and push people out of the way and stuff. So, you guys, I'm going Black Friday shopping.
THE EVIL BLACK FRIDAY FAIRY LIVES ON.
I'm on my way out riiiight now. I'm later than most crowds. But last year, we left too early. I'll still get the deals, and I'll miss the crowds a bit now. But I won't miss the rush of it. The rush of adrenaline, that is. I've still got that and I can't wait!!! What's Black Friday without shopping, anyway? BLACK FRIDAY 2012 HERE I COME.
What are your plans for Black Friday?
Oh right, and yesterday was Thanksgiving! Almost forgot :) My Thanksgiving was nice. I pigged out on potatoes and pie :) And I wore this comfy outfit. Don't worry, the dress is loose enough that it hid any sign of food baby!
Dress- H&M | Sweater- J. Crew | Shoes- Blowfish | Bracelets- c/o Lobby, gifted | Name necklace- c/o Best Personalized Jewelry| Diamond necklace- c/o Anjolee
I told you guys that I wasn't taking these two necklaces off...and I wasn't lying!!! They really do complement each other nicely, don't they? I wore this outfit to my sports awards last week. We have to dress up and stand on stage as our coach talks about our season and our team and blah blah blah. It's actually not that bad, since we get to see every other team stand on stage awkwardly too. I changed into flats half way through the day since I didn't want to stand on stage 30 feet taller than the rest of my team :)
This outfit is fitting for Wear Abouts...it matches the color scheme PERFECTLY! Look at how well this look goes with my header!
Also, if you haven't yet, don't forget to enter the Yak Apparel giveaway!
Just in time for winter I've got the perfect giveaway for you! Today you can enter to win a hat of your choice from Yak Apparel! Yak Apparel hats are handmade from real wool in a village in Nepal that the brand supports. They also sell handmade 100% silk scarves (from Nepal, too). Your hat will be completely one of kind because it is handmade! As you can tell, I love my beanie. I chose black and white because I have a lot of b&w in my closet and will be able to mix it with everything. Up next, I'm looking to print mix! :)
Also, ever since I received this necklace fromAnjolee, I've been wearing it nonstop with my Rory necklace. As I've said before, this season I've been more into delicate jewelry, unlike last winter when I loved statement, chunky necklaces. Well, these two more delicate necklaces go PERFECT together. Literally have not been wearing anything else but these two. Expect to see nothing else for the next few weeks :P
