Outfit of the Day

I wore this to church last week. The skirt was hand made by mBa's mother. I love it and because I received it in the winter, I haven't been able to wear it so when I put it on this particular morning it made me super excited! I love the cobalt blue color and the over-sized bow on the front. After church, the roomie and I went and met some of our sisters for lunch and a day at the mall! It was so good to see everyone and catch up after being so disconnected this summer!

cardigan: Lilly Pulitzer, Paley Cardigan
shirt: Jcrew, perfect fit tank
necklace: Jcrew
pumps: Nine West

OOTD...day 4, and my Inspirational Friend

I know that this is about a week belated and I apologize but I think we can all agree that it has been a hectic one for everybody! The BFF, mBa, and I went to one of our closest friend's, home for an ornament exchange! It was so nice to see eLc because I have really missed her and I love when I can sit down with dear friends to catch up and hear all about what is going on in their lives! She has had SUCH a rough year! Last New Year's Day her father unexpectedly passed away after complications with a heart attack, and then dealt with many personal struggles including a robbery a few days after Thanksgiving. eLc is honestly, one of the strongest women I know! After all of the struggles she has dealt with this year, she has still managed to have a fulfilling and loving relationship with her sweet boyf, welcomed the birth of a niece, and even started her very own, very successful business; all the while balancing college and two jobs! eLc is really an inspiration when I think I have things bad; I can just think about how eLc has put a positive spin on her situation. eLc is an amazing photographer! You can see her work here!

These gifts were so pretty, I had to take a picture! Sadly, I can't take credit for these. My mom is an expert gift- wrapper and takes great pride in it! The pink sparkly bag contained the ornament that I took to swap! I took the Lilly- themed ornament that I made. I posted how- to directions, you can see them here. The houndstooth wrapped present is the hostess gift. I bought eLc a really pretty, ornate, hot pink frame to match her room.

This is my OOTD, I wore this outfit to the Ornament Exchange. Oversized navy cardigan- I think this is from Marshalls/ TJ Maxx. Creme silk ruffel tank- Gap. Jeggings- Target. Boots- Matisse, Belk (these are my favorite boots of all time! I bought them for less than $70 in Middle School and just had the souls replaced last month. They are so me, I wear them all the time and they have so much life left in them!) This outfit was a steal!

who is an inspirational person in your life and why?

OOTD...day 3

Yes, I am actually wearing cords! I bought these at Jcrew before Christmas last year and this is the first time I have worn them. I love the color, they are an olive green; I paired them with a plain white tank from Jcrew and a simple navy cardigan. The pants are so comfortable because they are not fitted so to "feminize them", I my staple jewelry and a necklace from Jcew as well. jDe and I were on our way to tour apartments for next year.

OOTD.... day 2

My second ever Outfit of the Day post! This was my Thanksgiving outfit, a sweater dress with brown tights and detailed boots. I added some personal touch with a chunky necklace and pearl earrings!

OOTD... day 1

November 15, 2010
Okay, I never thought I would do this but I will be starting an Outfit of the Day post for my blog!! I am so excited to see how this turns out, we will see where it goes and how I change over time! We had Formal Chapter tonight and this is what I wore, a navy and white striped cotton dress, nautical theme with two anchor buttons on the shoulders. I wore Nine West nude pumps to match. Of course the staples: pearls, DY bracelet (bought on a college girl's budget), and gold chain necklace! **Pardon the mess in the room, we have been studying hard lately and slacking on the room cleaning!
