Owls & Bricks

A week ago for my visual merchandising class I had a visual display assignment with my partner Jen at Ivy & Leo retail store.  Majority of the time on campus I'm usually looking like a comfortable college bum while going to my classes. But since I was stepping off campus for this assignment I decided to take the effort to actually look nice that day with this ensemble. Cute and stretchy were my goals with this look while keeping in mind I will be manipulating heavy mannequins and other merchandise around the store. It was somewhat of a sunny but cool day so I put on my favorite cardigan to not to air out too much.  

 

 The flowiness and the uneven balance is what attracts me to fishtails tops other than the various colors they come in. These shorts I paired it with are LOVE to me! They are made of a soft spandex and elastic side panel material that shapes around my stomach and bottom half perfectly.   Although its the month of October, I think I can still get some more wears out of this outfit due to all of this 80-degree weather we have been having here in North Carolina.  Yet I find myself rooting for some cold weather to take its effect.  I cant wait to dust off my winter clothes so I can experiment a little with some layering !

Tuesday Blues

Juggling my priorities of school and the newer posts of this blog is starting to become a challenge.  Having at least one post per week is going to be my new goal.  Even with all the chaos of school assignments, deadlines, and homework Im still always thinking of ideas of what Ima do for my next blog post.   I love the support and encouragement I have gotten from this blog since Ive started whether its only from some friends, family, and a couple of cool people I go to school with. I just want to say to you all as well as any possible future followers, THANKKK YOUUUUU !!!!!!! ^_^

 Sorry for the fuzziness. The struggle was real trying to adjust camera lightening during this time of the day.  Anyhoo, this was an outfit I wore a few weeks ago on the first days of classes.  A very comfortable and casual look for a humid day.  I bagged the sheer blouse at UO (similar!) last year from the clearance section and the sea-green boots from Urbanog this past summer.  I love how these two clothing pieces came together perfectly even though I bought them a year apart.
