October Fall

The weather around this time of year is always strange. Cold days are followed by hot days are followed by rainy days and last year, we even had snow in October. And the leaves have started to turn and even fall from the trees. That means it's finally, truly Fall! The best season of the year. Normally, I would have worn this silk tank top and skirt combo from August Wrinkle without anything over top. But it's not summer anymore and much as I may have wanted to, I couldn't. A lighter button up was a perfect outer layer. Next up, TIGHTS!!!!! Stay tuned for a tights post before Wednesday!

Gone Rogue

This short-on-accessories outfit is not so short on awesomeness. How cool is the top design?? I love that it came with a peppy pink belt, too. This is a classy little black dress gone rogue. In a good way, of course! With the short length, flowy skirt, and amazing neckline, I'm satisfied that this will be my go-to LBD all fall long (and into the winter, too)!
GUYS ONE WEEK LEFT UNTIL MY BIRTHDAY! (I am 16 going on 17)

A Disorganized Hoarder

I was featured on Linda's blog, Trendy Teal yesterday since it was her first day of college!!! Check out one of my back to school looks featured on her blog here.

This outfit is perfect because it's transitionary. While the neons and espadrille wedges keep us hanging on to summer, the darker colors transition into fall.
On a non-fashion related note...I have a little characteristic about myself (that hopefully some of you have, too)! I should start by saying that I am a very disorganized person. As in I like to keep all of my things scattered on my floor in my room. Stuff is much easier to find that way, right?? Anyways, at the beginning of every school year, I buy a gazillion binders and color code them into sections. I count out equal number pens and pencils and put them in a shiny new pencil case. I even organize my locker all special into sections. And on the first day, my handwriting is miraculously neat--and I copy down the teacher word for word. In my colorful (NEAT) binders, of course. Let me tell you, that does not last long. By the second or third week, I've got papers strewn in my locker. Empty water bottles stuck in every nook and cranny. Binders are long forgotten. And (*cringe*) sometimes food and candy wrappers. Okay, not sometimes...always. I'm basically a disorganized hoarder. The thing is, I like organization. I really do. And the fact that I try at the beginning of the year proves it! But I just can't keep it up. I guess using binders and keeping a locker clean and a room clean and a closet organized and my laundry all in one place and...wait, let's get back on track. 

What I'm trying to say is, it's just too much effort to stay organized. I'm always hurrying from one place to the next. So why does everything need to be organized? This year, I've finally learned my lesson. I am not buying binders...gasp. And I'm sharing a locker with my most organized friend (who will kick me out if I'm messy)!!! So I'm starting on the right foot this year. Let's see how long I'll last! :)

So, there you have my back to school story! Is anyone else messy and disorganized like me? But, if you had the time, would be organized? Tell me I'm not alone! 
All kidding aside, my outfits are organized! I love to color coordinate in my outfits and wear corresponding accessories. 
Do you have any quirky characteristics ?

Bohemian Rhapsody

On Wednesday, my friends and I had a photoshoot! Hannah's a photographer (and a really good one at that) so it's really fun to get some awesome pictures out of these shoots. Because rain was forecast, the photos have a gloomy sort of vibe. Sorry about the photo overload again...it's so hard for me to narrow down! :D Our theme was boho...ish? Anyways, I'm on my back to school shopping excursion today so in lieu of an outfit post enjoy these awesome pictures! 

What I'm Wearing: Dress- c/o Sugar Lips, Shoes- c/o My Hot Shoes, Rings- DIY, Necklaces- Romwe & Adriana Soto, Bracelets- c/o Cosmorones, c/o Torn To Pieces,  c/o Marcella Leone
