Different

 I'm so excited to be posting an outfit for you guys! My boyfriend and I haven't been together as much lately (no problems, just busy schedules!) and that means less outfit photos for you guys! My birthday is coming up, and my mom surprised me with giving me my birthday money early, because I'll be back in Alaska on my actual birthday, and there's no shopping centers or anything where I live. Because of my Nordstrom internship coming up this June (SO EXCITED), I thought Nordstrom would be the best place to spend a chunk of my money. They always have great quality pieces that are both on trend yet classic. I'm so excited to be part of a store that I love so much. 

Also, I got a new blog makeover! I decided I wanted something simple and clean, and though I love the watercolor/pastel/pretty look, I just wasn't feeling like it was me any more. And besides that, my favorite thing ever is for things to change and be different from before!  

How have you guys been? What do you guys think of the new blog look?

Bright

 So much sunshine! Finally! I feel like every blog post I've been writing the past few weeks is some variation of "today sucked, no sunshine, maybe later." It's finally later, and it's gorgeous out! It's still not super warm, but it's a start! I guess you could say the sunshine had inspired my outfit because I normally don't dress this bright. When I woke up though, I just knew it wasn't a black on black kind of day and that I needed a little color! That also made me realize how little of it I have in my wardrobe, which is something I am hoping to change for this summer.

What things are you looking to add to your wardrobe for summer?

Eeny Meeny Miny Minnie

 I have been staying up way too late and waking up way too late lately, which unfortunately has meant a lot of the time that I'm ready to take blog pictures, means horrible lighting because the sun is going down by the time I've gotten up, eaten, and gotten ready. (I'm horrible, I know! But Netflix has been so tempting lately.) I felt really good about this outfit today, mainly because I didn't have anywhere to go and nobody to see, but I still got dressed up. Getting a little dressed up, even if it just means wearing something I like that's not pajamas, always makes me feel better about my day. I'm also happy about this outfit because I think lately my blog posts have been very casual, and though I do love seeing casual outfits on blogs, I also like to post things that people might not always try. For example, polka dots, Minnie Mouse socks, oxford heels, and an oversized blazer all in one outfit? Not exactly an every day look. (Unless of course for you, it is, in which case I applaud you.)

On a semi-unrelated note, I'm pretty excited because I think I decided what I want to do after college. Everyone has always told me to be a writer, but I love fashion first and foremost. I think after college I'm going to move to a city like New York City or Seattle (depending on how gutsy I feel at that time!) and per-sue a career as a fashion writer. How cool would it be to be a styling editor or something?

Would any of you fashion lovers like a job in fashion? If so what? Or is it just a hobby?

The Blogger

 This outfit to me just screams blogger. I'm not sure what exactly about it gives me that impression, but I think the idea of classic meets quirky is a style that's present in most bloggers in some form or another. I've been thinking a lot lately about the blogging world, and discovered so many great and unique people through it. A year ago, I didn't have a hobby, but slowly but surely you guys have become my hobby. I would just like to say that I really appreciate everyone who reads and subscribes, it means a lot to me as I've been thinking more and more about taking my knowledge of fashion and combining it with my love of social networking somehow for a career. Every page view, subscriber, comment, and reader helps. I only hope that I help you in some ways as well.

That being said, blogging rules. Is there anything that you would like to see more of on this blog, or in the blogging realm in general?
