Styling With Kacie & Tonya!

So I found out yesterday that there's such a thing as a really fun group project.

Kacie of Shy Girl Loud Voice and Tonya "The Moptop" and myself all teamed up along with our classmate Kenneth to do a fashion blogger inspired editorial photo shoot for our styling class! The idea was that we would each style three different looks in our own personal fashion blogger style - Androgynous, feminine, and festival were the three styles we chose and this is the result of it! I'm happy to say I'm very pleased with the turn out, and even more pleased that I had such an awesome group to hang out with for the day! A project combining good friends with styling? Sounds like a formula for a great day, despite the rain! 

What do you guys think of our project?

Geek Squad

Finally, a cloudy day! I was so bummed that out of all the days that it has been sunny and I've been miserable in sleeveless tops, the one day it's overcast and I'm not feeling well and have nothing to do for the day! If I had class today, I would have been so excited to wear this outfit out. I bought this sweater a few weeks ago but haven't had a chance to wear it. It was still kind of muggy today, but I didn't even care. I'm that desperate for sweater season!

I really liked the way the photos came out today in this weather, too. When it's really sunny outside, it creates harsh shadows and they're harder to correct later on in the editing process. Overcast days give out even shade and I love it for taking photos! It might not be pretty outside, but the photos look pretty, and that's what matters to me when it comes to blog pictures!

I love it when I go shopping and afterwards when I'm looking through what I bought, I find pieces that would go great together. That's what happened with this skirt and sweater. I bought them both at the same time, and when I got home and was unpacking my shopping bags, I envisioned this outfit! The looseness and length of this sweater makes it perfect to wear with a skirt like this. It gave off a nerdy vibe to me, so I definitely thought it was a day to skip the contacts and bust out the antique-y clock necklace I've had for years but haven't worn in forever! Gotta love old favorites. 

Do you ever come home from a shopping spree and realize you had a perfect outfit picked out and didn't even realize it?

Back to School

Hey everyone! I'm really excited today, because today is my first day back at school! It feels like it's been a long time since I've been to school, but really it's only been a two week break. I also have to take into consideration though that I went back home to Alaska for about 10 days before that though, too. Anyways, I'm excited to be busy again and I'm really determined this term to get good grades. I always say that at the beginning of every term, but this time I feel like I really mean it. Last term I didn't get the best of grades in a few of my classes, and it really made me feel guilty and horrible. I definitely don't want to feel like that again!

My favorite part about college is that you three (or in my case, four, because I'm doing summer classes) first day of school outfits! And then you also have to take into account the fact that you have multiple different classes. I love getting dressed for school. Going to school for fashion marketing, it's fun to get dressed up and express myself, and I love seeing how others do the same. School clothes shopping was always the best time of year for me growing up, because I didn't live anywhere near a mall or clothing store. I had to wait until August to go shopping. Once I got older I was allowed to take more plane rides into the city, but those are really expensive. Anyways, that being said, the first day of school is always exciting for me! New clothes, fresh notebooks, new classes, new subjects - It's like a mini new beginning, and I love that. :)
