The Casual Geek in Me

I love a good blazer. It's no secret. The GAP literally has like, seven versions of this blazer and I want each and every one of them. I bought this one a few weeks back because I thought it was most "fun", and I already had a few blazers in neutral colors. I love the polka dot lining, and the bright trip along the collar. I decided to keep the look casual still by pairing it with my favorite TOMS, my Bob Dylan shirt, and my glasses. Because I have glasses but normally wear contacts, wearing my glasses is an instant way to either make an outfit look a little bit more laid back (typically part of my "get gussied up" routine involves contacts > glasses.) but it also makes for a more geeky look. (I'm a geek at heart, it's true. Or am I a nerd? Maybe both.) What goes better together than nerdy glasses and a blazer? Nothing. The answer is nothing.

Tangled Up in Blue

Hey guys!

Today, I woke up and just wanted to feel "cute". Cute, to me, translates to peter pan collars, and lately it also translates to the color blue. I am in love with peter pan collars, and always have been. I've had this top for a few years now actually, and still love it. Which is a feat for someone who buys new clothes as much as I do! It's such a pretty color blue and it is so versatile. I've worn it with hot pink jeans and gotten lots of compliments, and dark wash jeans and a black cardigan. Today, because I'm not doing anything but grocery shopping and homework, I thought a casual look with rolled up straight leg jeans would do just the trick.
