Bleak House
sweater—Nordstrom
jeans—Gap
shoes—Target
scarf—self-made
I’ve never read Bleak House, and I don’t particularly care for Dickens, but I’ve always liked the way that the title sounds. Thursday was my first day of classes, so this is what I decided to wear. I’m liking the coziness of the look (with this scarf on repeat) and the rather bleak...

Serendipity Scarf
sweater—Old Navy
jeans—American Eagle, altered
scarf—self-made
heels—Target
This morning, I awoke to fog—lovely, enchanting fog. Anyway, this scarf was supposed to be a full-length scarf. I used up one skein of yarn, but then I got busy with essays and reading and stuffed it in a drawer for a month. When I went back to the yarn store to buy more, they...

Meet My Garden
sweater, top, skirt—Nordstrom
tights, booties—Target
The sweater and top are a Christmas present, and this is the first time I’ve worn them. I’m starting to think that that’s pretty indicative of my having too much clothes. Seriously, though, I’m loving all shades of icy blue.
Anyway, last spring, my sister and I built these raised beds and planted a...

Feeling Patriotic
sweater—Gap
skirt, tights, booties—Target
necklace—gift (F21)
The booties are a (maybe) unexpected twist to this classic look. Overall, though, this outfit is really clean—clean lines, vibrant colors. It’s right up my alley.

Happy Family
What’s behind my back, you ask?
hat—H&M
cardigan, top—Target
jeans—Gap
shoes—toms
On Wednesday night, when I wore my scarf, my sister came home and told me that the scarf was “hideous.” I couldn’t take the ridicule anymore, and I unraveled it straight away. So, the ball of yarn in my hands is my scarf. I have plans,...

cardigan—Nordstrom
white shirt—J Crew
jeans—Gap
flats—Target
scarf—self-made
Remember my first knitting project? Well, this is the scarf that amassed such ridicule. It’s been sitting on a shelf in my closet staring at me for the past couple of months, and I decided to give it the old college try and try to wear it. I tried wrapping it around my neck...

sweater, yellow tee, heels—Target
skirt—Gap
tights—Kenneth Cole
necklace—gift (F21)
belt—Nordstrom Rack
This outfit was an attempt to get more use out of a skirt that I hardly ever wear. I don’t wear it very often because I don’t like how it fits at the hip. I remedied this by pulling it up to my waist and belting it. I paired it with brown...

Dangerous and Sweet (Minus the Danger)
sweater, jeans—Gap
jacket—Nordstrom Rack
shoes—toms
This is what I wore yesterday. I spent the day running errands, taking down Christmas decorations, and getting organized, so this was perfect. I like the feminine frill on the sweater and the more structured, (kind of) masculine aspect of the jacket together. I’ve been listening to Lenka a lot lately, and her...

skirt—Anthropologie
tights, necklace, heels—Target
sweater—Nordstrom
headband—self-made
I’ve been wanting to wear this sweater and skirt together since November, and today I finally did it. I really love the turquoise and creaminess of the skirt together. I considered pink tights, but in the end, I decided to wear black tights and this pink headband that I...
