Better Weather

Hey everyone! I know I've been more than neglectful over the summer, but I promise I'm trying to be better about it. A busy schedule + a lack of inspiration has been hindering my creativity as of lately, but I'm starting to get back into the groove of things, especially with fall time approaching. I think we can all agree that sweaters make everything better. Always. I've always preferred "gloomy" weather over sunny days, anyways. To me, it opens up so many options for outfits and layering, plus I love all the cozy activities. There's some guilt free aspect of staying in bed all day watching Netflix in the fall that I just don't get in the summer! Besides that, I'm ready for my hair to stop turning red. The sun'll do crazy things to your hair - Does anybody else have that problem? Blagh!

Oh! P.S. These leggings from Zara are a fall time essential. Buy some.

What are your most favorite fall time activities?

Good Bad Luck

Today was kind of a hard day. I didn't too as well as I had hoped on two quizzes and was completely confused on a project I had due today. Money troubles and spilling my can of soda which was my only source of caffeine for the afternoon didn't help much either! I almost didn't take pictures but a friend of mine and fellow blogger (Hello AGAIN Kacie! :) ) reminded me that I should because I enjoy it. It's funny, I don't know if anyone else does this, but when I get done I don't do the things that I love. Taking these pictures actually did make me feel a lot better and my evening class wasn't as bad as my afternoon class, my mom prized me with some shopping money and reminded me that without crappy days, we would never be happy. It's funny how a day can start one way and end another.

In between classes I'm usually in a time crunch because I have to walk to and from one of them. I had this outfit styled up a little bit more in a fall way before I was ready to take photos, but rushing back was tiring not to mention the weather wasn't exactly chilly! Needless to say, I had to ditch the jacket. Luckily for me though, I managed to pick out a great piece in my grumpy state. This slip works well styled or on it's own!

Wishlist: Free People in Fall!

Hey everyone! I could probably do a million posts for fall featuring Free People, but I figured I should start with one. :) Free People is a great store for any season. Even though a lot of their pieces have a lot of personality, I still think they are very versatile. The uniqueness is not over the top or costume-y, and I think drama is a great thing to have when getting dressed for fall! Here are ten pieces I've had my eye on for fall.
