My goodness, it has been nearly a month. I am really slackin'.
In a whirlwind of events I don't know where to begin; I'll simply share a few things I wore and promise to post more often in these upcoming weeks.
Well, that's going to be difficult, because I'm in wardrobe PANIC.
Dressing for fall and winter comes quite easily for me. As soon as I have to put away the boots, jackets, scarves, and cardigans I tend to self combust.
I'm going to try REALLY hard to dress nicely this spring and summer, but I'm not great at it. In fact, I think it's a little bit difficult to find cute clothing (that won't lead to heat stroke) that doesn't look completely hooch.
I also think I'm not trying hard enough. I am, however, looking forward to those breezy pants, maxi skirts/dresses, and bathing suit + cover up combos.
As I journey into this warm-weather fashion world that is somehow almost foreign to me please bare with the potential faux pas and give me honest feedback as necessary.
For the last of the cold weather, here are some outfits I chose:

This was one of those saw-it-and-had-to-have-it purchases. I mean, it's a shark shirt. Couldn't wait until shark week. It will resurface come August without a doubt.
H&M $13.00

Went to the 'ol stomping grounds for a friend's birthday last Friday evening. We went to a bar, Porta, that we used to go to all the time in college. Of course, I snuck away to check out the new Beer Garden in Asbury Park. I am so sad that they opened a beer garden after I graduated. Well, come to think of it, it's probably for the better...
Top-Necessary Clothing $8.00
Skirt-Joyce Leslie $10.00
Shoes-Madden Girl (Amazon) $22.00

My Easter was spent studying, for the most part, because I had an exam Monday. I had exams the whole week before as well. I am currently writing a research paper and have a presentation due Thursday. It's not too bad though. Call me a freak--but I missed writing research papers. Ten pages is nothing, and when you actually learn from what you're writing everyone wins!
The time I took off from studying Sunday I got to spend having brunch with my dad's side of the family. They had dinner with my mom's side; I had left over chinese and a whole bunch of memorization ;)
The skirt is springy, right?!

Target-$23.00

http://youtu.be/BZVBTtX92Nc how to pronounce faux pas correctly. Also, Mademoiselle Sleek Scientist, I think you should find a photo of your early days in fashion and write a blog on that. I seem to remember a very obdurate young bub who wouldn't let anyone dress her besides herself and the finished product was always a talking point. Mismatched stripy socks, boots, skirts and tops with clashing prints and knit hats. Eat your hearts out, Olsen twins! You were literally born with it! Xo
