My apologies for being the literal worst. I was so caught up in Thanksgiving break, homework, studying, etc. that I totally fell out of the habit of posting, for two whole weeks! Additionally, I didn't even take pictures of the majority of my outfits....some of which I really loved. I'll have to try to recreate them and post pictures.
I only took a picture of 3 outfits within the past couple weeks. Totally hating myself for it, because I don't even have my Thanksgiving/Thanksgiving Eve/Thanksgiving weekend ensembles up, but I'll throw a few random pics at ya and hope to get my stuff together for the remainder of the semester.

I think this was just a random class day. My hair was getting to a super awkward in between length so I cut it. The short hair is here to stay. I feel like it's just "me" now.

It's hard to tell here but it was a big, black, (but light) sweater from Cotton On $10
With "Leather" leggings, also from Cotton On $15.00
The bag was Annie Sez $ 10.00
Necklace Forever 21-$6.00
and Black boots.

I wore this for a presentation in one of my classes this past Tuesday.
Dress-H&M $12.00
Necklace-Gift from my little sis, Charming Charlie
Boots-Agaci $20.00
I wore my green army jacket over it for outerwear.

I know, super basic monogrammed shirt. I WAS in a sorority though. Give me a break. Sometimes we need to let our basic-ness shine. I was hoping to wear this with a plaid blanket scarf I ordered, but it still hasn't come in(probably because it's from Korea, imitation Zara...)! I thought the green and gold were Christmas-y, and I, of course, rocked antlers as soon as I got there. My aunt once dubbed me: Vanessa Always-Wearing-a-Freakin'-Hat Orbe. What can I say, I like to be festive!
This was comfy and I wore it to volunteer at a Christmas party for children with cancer. I made crafts and played with them all day, and it was a heart-warming way to get into the Christmas spirit.

Shirt-Etsy $16.00
Jeans-Flying Monkey $7.50 (Originally $80.00!!)

Which reminds me...another pair of boutique jeans I purchased for $5.00:

I realized this outfit looked a little, very crazy so I didn't get too far in it. 
HOWEVER, an example of $5.00 jeans (Romeo and Juliet) down from $90.00, and a $3.50 sweater down from $130!! Purchased at Annie Sez during the off-season (summer).
When someone told me they liked my "snuggie thing" in reference to my sweater I knew it was time to get changed.


Once again, sorry for the wait! I'll try to recreate and post the rest of my outfits from the past couple weeks!
