this weeks challenge

My closet is exploding with clothes, so sometimes there are things that sit in my closet that I never wear. Also I have a bad habit of wearing some thing once then feeling like I can't wear it again (I know I'm a Diva Anonymous), don't ask why.

So I'm challenging my self this week. I have picked five items, and some how I have to fit these into my outfits this week. It will help me wear stuff that I always forget I have, and have different inspirations for outfits, making it okay for me to wear something twice (God I'm such a diva!)

I have picked:

• new blue striped shirt- Its a new shirt and feels so Kim Kardashian. I love it, but the shoulders are so geometric it scares me. So I'm forcing myself to wear it, tough love!

• purpley flower cardigan- This might be my most favorite cardigan EVER. It's so pretty and feminine, and super over-sized and comfy. Who doesn't love all that in one piece!

• silver bubble skirt- I love love love this skirt but I know that if I don't find a casual way to wear it, that it will just sit in my closet. Since I don't go out a lot I need to find a casual option.

• turquoise crystal flats- I bought these for insanely cheap ( there only a size or two too small) over the summer and I keep forgetting about them.

• brown leg warmers- I plan on dressing up my old worn in boots with these. I've always loved leg warmers and now that its officially fall I can wear them with out sweating to death =))

• over sized white-tee- I think sometimes I over think outfits, it can never be plain. I need to appreciate the fact that sometimes less is more. Not that I'm over the top, but I need to learn to just walk out with a white tee and some comfy jean
  
  

a look back... good bye summer

Summer is finally over =(, though I won't miss the insanely hot weather, and the constant heat wave, it's always sad to see summer go. I posted some of my favorite summer pictures, and some pictures that I think turned out well. Enjoyyy =)

rainy day love

Rainy days have a bad rep.

When I woke up this morning I dreaded the clouds I saw outside my window. They always look so dreary and icky. While sitting in my class this morning (womens reform, best class ever), I looked out the weekend and saw the most beautiful scenery. The dark gray clouds on the bright yellow green trees looked amazing, through and old white window which just make it picture perfect.

This made me think, rainy days are actually beautiful. The bright green and gray color combo has inspired this post. =)

Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera on me (the one freaking time!) so I couldn't take this inspiring picture. I did get some other ones though .



I found some ways to take this inspiration into an outfit. Enjoy

...and after

I can finally show you how my room turned out! I'm not totally happy with it, but I don't have a ton of cash (or time) to really do what I want with it. But I love it!

The bed spread is my favorite part, and my shoe bookcase, there was really supposed to be more books but there has to be priorities. I've basically turned my room into my closet lol.
idk what i want to do with this and the rest of the wall. I love this mirror but its so lost on the wall.

i'm backkkk

Now that summer is out of my system, and I have gotten back in to a school routine (well as much as one can), I can finally come back =).

My latest addiction, HGTV. I have always loved designing and now that I'm finally back in my apartment I can use it as my canvas. Of course its always a work in progress, but gosh these dorm-like apartments are super ugly and plain. My dilemmas are always cash, genaric (and ugly) furniture, and white walls. This year my new problem, lighting. My window is shoved in a nook and the sun only comes in my window after 1 p.m. This can make it a little dingy looking.


So because of this, I decided to go with a very colorful color scheme. I will put after pictures up tomorrow. But this is a sneak peak of the colors I chose.

packing.. well trying too

Its taken me five hours to pack, no joke. Not for the usual reasons like I can choose what to wear or over packing... it was because of those damn Kardasians. Every time they come on T.V. I get sucked in, so when there on for like 4 hours in a row that only gives me commercial breaks to pack. But finally its done and every things ready to go. Now if we could only leave tomorrow and not Monday. I'm so excited for vaca. When we went to OC last year we had so much fun, and I'm sure we will have repeat this year.

Any who, some of my family came in from Colorado and Kentucky so weve been out and about this past weekend. We went to this little town Occoquan, which is a little old town that turned houses into stores with the cutest antique stuff. I love going to places like that especially with the family. =)

Love these shoes
