Blogging Bloopers Pt. 2

Hello friends, it is that time again where I embarrass myself on the internet. The time I share photos of the good, the bad, and definitely the ugly. Yep, I'm coming back at ya with my blogging bloopers! Sit back, relax, and enjoy laughing at my various facial expressions.

"Dooooooooop" 

These little fellas were stealing my spot light!

I don't even know what to say for this one...

It was early in the morning so I had to stretch out the smiling muscles. 

Probably dancing awkwardly to the music in my head...

But first, let me take a selfie. Or thirty.

 Smiling is for squares.

You know a shoot is done when you make this face.

 Well I hope all of you enjoyed looking at my various facial expressions. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend and be sure to come back Monday for a new post!

Pink Quilted Vest

Vest: Red Dress Boutique (sold out, light blue version here) // Sweater: Forever 21 (similar) // Pants: Target // Shoes: Target // Purse: Kate Spade (similar)

Hello everyone and happy Wednesday!

I cannot help but feel like a walking advertisement for my blog while I was wearing this outfit because of the color scheme. I managed to pick up this pretty pink vest from Red Dress Boutique during their black Friday sale. The color of the vest was a lot darker than it was pictured out the website and to be honest I was pretty bummed when I opened up the package. I was hopping for the vest to be a pretty pastel pink, but it was definitely a lot darker than it was on the website and since it was on sale I couldn’t return it. 

The more I kept the vest in my closet and the more I played around with it, the more it grew on me.  I am still on the hunt for a pretty pastel pink vest, but for now this one shall do. (:

For the outfit I paired the pink-vest with my favorite black and white stripe sweater and some my trusty black jeggings. I seriously wear these jeggings pretty much every other day because they’re that comfy!

I hope are all are having a great week so far! If not, then don’t worry the weekend is almost here! I’ll see you all again on Friday! (:

Pop of Red

Happy Martin Lurther King day everyone!

Can we get a hooray for no classes today?? HOORAY!!

Can you believe that we are more than half way through the month of January? What?? Wasn’t the first day of 2016 just like, yesterday? I’ve realize the closer I’m coming towards the end of my college career, the faster time seems to be moving and honestly, it’s pretty terrifying. I feel like there’s so much I want / need to do that there’s just not enough time to act on it.

 I guess in reality I am just terrified of “the real world.” I’m still lost and confused what I want to do as a career and I feel that there’s so much pressure to have your life planned out already at this age. Hopefully I will get my ish together this year and have it all figured out. I’m a true believer that everything happens for a reason and I’ll let life just do its course.

Whew. Sorry, didn’t mean to go on a long spill about me being scared of growing up. Now, moving on…

So we all know that black is pretty much my go to color in the wintertime, I mean it’s not like I have been writing that in every single post for the past week… I think you all get the hint by now. Haha. To add a little color to my wardrobe I added a nice pop of color with this red flannel. I love the contrast of the red flannel with my all black outfit it adds a nice pattern to relatively plain outfit.

Fun fact: I picked up this black and red flannel my first year in college three years ago and it was actually my first flannel I ever owned! Before college I never owned a flannel! Crazy, I know.

I hope you all are having a wonderful day and if you are off from work or school today I hope you enjoy your day off. Be sure to come back on Wednesday for another blog post!

Raccoon Sweater

Raccoon Sweater: Forever 21 (old, but this one is so cute!) // Vest: Red Dress Boutique (similar and you can monogram it!) // Pants: Target // Boots: Just Fab // Purse: Kate Sade
Hello everyone and happy Friday! Who else is excited that it is finally the weekend? *Insert 50 hand raising emojis here*
If you read my "Geek" blog post you may remember me mentioning that I love quirky sweaters. I am not sure if this falls under the category of quirky, but it is definitely cute! I saw this sweater on the Forever 21 website a few years back and knew I had to have it! The best part was I snagged it on clearance over the summer so it was less than $10! 
For today’s outfit I have paired my cute little raccoon sweater with my favorite herringbone vest from Red Dress Boutique. This is seriously my favorite vest ever and it goes with so many things! For bottoms I threw on my favorite pair of black jeggings (sooo comfy) and black ridding boots. 
Incase you haven’t notice from the past couple of blog posts; I haven’t been wearing much color lately. In the wintertime my wardrobe mainly consists of black, white, gray, and black. I guess it is a nice switch up from my super colorful outfits in the summer time. 
For extra warmth I had a black long sleeved top underneath my sweater. I am thinking about doing a post on how to layer in the wintertime or how to keep warm in the wintertime. I am such a weenie when it comes to cold weather so I have to bundle up!
I hope you all are having a wonderful day and have a fantastic weekend! Be sure to come by on Monday for a new blog post!
