Cold but Comfy.

The weather is getting cooler and with that I'm loving the freedom I have with my outfits! Layering, boots, cordurouys, the list is endless for fall fashion. I always prefer to be comfortable while sitting in class or at the library for multiple hours during the day.  This was easy to accomplish when I decided to wear my burgundy brocade printed cords from Ann Taylor Loft. As I'm sure most of you are, I am obsessed with the color burgundy! I want sweaters, leggings, hats, etc. all in the color burgundy. It goes well with any color hair or skin tone, which is  pretty much any girls dream. Let me know what fall purchases you have that are burgundy!!
I paired the pants with an oversized camel colored sweater from Banana Republic and wore a chambray shirt from Ann Taylor underneath. My black equestrain Vince Camuto boots went perfectly and then I topped it off with a black beanie!
Enjoy!

Make New Friends but Keep The Old...

I recently had the opportunity to help out a friend and former roommate with a project and it was so much fun! He is a very talented student in the Journalism school at Mizzou and had to do a project recreating a print advertisement for the Bree illuminated handbag. He asked me to model for the pictures and we did it at 8 am the morning after a football game....how I was able to wake up for this, I am still trying to figure out. If I ever do something like this again, I will not be tailgating the day before so my face does not look so swollen and my eyes are able to fully open.
I got to see my friend's final project yesterday and I was SO impressed! He did an amazing job and I was so happy I could help him out.  His photographer friend, Sally is extremely talented as well and I am so happy to have had the opportunity to meet and work with her!

I went with a French Connection sweater dress in a forest green color that I purchased recently. I probably should have worn tights(or gone running a few times more leading up to this)...but I obviously was not thinking straight due to the early wakeup call. I paired it with a grey faux fur vest to add just the right amount of diva.  My black Vince Camuto riding boots and a tortoise pendant necklace from Banana Republic topped it all off perfectly.
Enjoy!

The bag I used for the photo shoot is from Swank Boutique! I purchased it over the summer, but they recently got in some AMAZING and super affordable fall clutches and purses!! If you're in Columbia, you'll have to check them out!

Sassy Skirt.

Fall has officially arrived and I have to admit that I am absolutely loving it. I will forever love Florida weather, but I did miss the leaves changing colors and the crisp cool mornings walking to class while I was at Florida State.  I also did not realize until this year how many outfit options you have throughout the Fall months.  Layering, boots, scarves, jeans, the possibilities are endless.

I got the inspiration for this post from overhearing a girl in class yesterday talk about how she had to wear a uniform while attending an all girls high school.  She said that although she liked not having to worry about an outfit in the morning, she would sometimes get bored of wearing the same pleated skirt and collared shirt every day.  I loved when she said that girls would monogram their skirts to make them individualized. I attended a public school and always had the freedom to wear whatever my heart desired (with some limitations obviously).  But hearing about pleated school girl skirts made me remember I had a black skirt very similar which led to my inspiration for today's post.
Enjoy!

 

I recently bought this jacket at the Swank Boutique Semi-Annual Sale, I'm obsessed! Love the color, the way it hangs, and the parachute pockets!

Love these booties that I recently bought from Target. I wear a size 11, so when I find cute shoes in my size, I always have to buy them!

I recently bought this acrylic 'E' necklace at a boutique in St. Louis. They sell them at Swank Boutique or you can order them online from Moon and Lola!

This leopard print scarf flowed perfectly with the jacket and the pleated skirt.

Ta-Da! My version of a school girl skirt outfit!



Let me know your ideas for a school girl skirt outfit!

I received great news yesterday that I am the official University of Missouri Campus Representative for Dixieland Monogram! I can't wait to plan events and show everyone the super cute and fun monogram products that they carry! Let me know if you have a sorority, campus group, or just a group of friends that you want to get together to see products and purchase some!
