Back to the Third Grade
I really feel like a little kid in this outfit—in a good way. I had this dress (which is basically a jumper), and I wanted to incorporate it into my fall wardrobe. The dress is a little short, and in the summer, I had been wearing it with leggings. However, even with tights, I felt that it was still too short, so I added a skirt. In hindsight, I think that I would wear a different...
A Touch of Sparkle
I love sparkle! Honestly, who doesn’t? I tend to connote the holidays with sparkle—especially Christmas and New Year’s. Today I got to make Christmas cards with my mom and sister. It was super fun, and they turned out really nicely, if I do say so myself! I love Christmas, so making these cards was a nice break from the mundane “red world” of homework. So, since I was...
Homework Day
Let’s face it: I’m not going to don a skirt and heels for a day of homework (although that would be rather fabulous!) Today I’m working on a research paper and trying to get through George Eliot’s Middlemarch. So, I’m wearing jeans, a sweater, and funky old lady shoes. (So wonderful! Really, what’s better that a metallic shoe with a 1/8-ish inch heel and a...
A Tribute to Project Runway
The season finale of Project Runway (which is one of my favorite shows) airs tonight, so of course I had to wear my “I <3 PR” shirt! It was given to me by a friend and fellow Project Runway fan. I paired it with a nice a-line skirt, textured tights, and heels.
Also, note that I wore white after Labor Day. As far as I’m concerned, the rule prohibiting white after Labor Day is...
The Upstairs Maid (or Miss Manners)
I have serious reservations regarding the combination of pink and black, most of which stem from the overdose from which we all seemed to suffer circa spring 2005. However, I have opened my mind and realized that if done well, pink and black can be quite nice together. Also, I feel like I’m either a maid or a finishing school graduate in this outfit, which I kind of love.

Yes, I'm Wearing a Tutu
For me, the find of the summer (and, possibly of the century) was a tutu dress at Target. Really, who wouldn’t enjoy wearing a tutu on a daily basis? I had originally planned on pairing this ensemble with tights and a cameo-inspired pin, but I thought that that might be overdoing it (especially since I was getting dressed for another day at school.) Fortunately, it was a warm fall day and I...
Comfortable Monday
We finally got some cold weather in the valley, and I was so excited. Finally I can wear cardigans and tights! So, about the outfit: I love this skirt from Modcloth. It’s so adorable and feminine. Who would have thought that a pink skirt with purple and yellow flowers would be so adorable? Also, I have been trying to incorporate more purple into my wardrobe, so I decided to pair it with this...
