On the Edge

{Top: Boutique, Leather Jacket: Ross, Jeans: American Eagle, Boots: Cathy Jean, Necklace: Vintage}

Hi all! I hope you are all doing great, I know I am excited for the last 27 days left of school! Besides that, I wanted to share my outfit of the day. If you have seen my blog posts from the past you know that I am not a girl who wears edgy outfits a lot. It is true, I am more of a classic, preppy, and girly girl with a little twist. However, I wanted to push past my fashion comfort zone and try adding a touch of edge into my outfit today. Thats all for today folks! 

Thanks for reading!

Outfit of the Day: Camille

Hi everyone! Well, the sun was in Washington for a while, but now its gone! :( I really loved this outfit that my friend Camille was wearing the other day. She wore shorts and a tank top that gave off a Spring/Summer vibe, but layered a dark green military inspired jacket to keep warm during a chilly breeze. My favorite part of Spring, is not having to wear a heavy jacket all the time; however, you should always be prepared with a light jacket, just like Camille has on here! Lastly, I would like to thank my dear friend Camille for letting me use her pictures on my blog!

Balance is Key

{Top: Hollister, Skirt: Thrifted, Jacket: Nordstrom Rack, Oxfords: Nordstrom Rack}

Hi everyone! The first picture is a touch dark because when I took it the clouds were still hovering in the sky, so sorry about that! Today I had a mini-presentation at school, and decided I would dress up a little. I picked a tailored white button down top, and decided to try a little print, so I threw on the tribal pattern inspired skirt. Since, I don't have to the presentation every class period, I kept it casual with some oxfords and a light jean jacket. Have a great weekend! 

P.S. I styled the same oxfords in a different way in one of my previous blog posts if you want to check that out:

Essential Accessories

{Bag: Nordstrom/Lulu, Necklace: Gifted, Watch: Gucci, Nail Polish: Essie in Avenue Maintain, Ponies: L. Erickson}

Hi everyone! Did you see the new "Pin it" icon when you hover over a picture? Do you like it? Today is my last day of Spring break (not including the weekend) which makes me sad.  Spring break really flew by this year!

These are my essentials, that I use A LOT! I am currently obsessed with anything bright, as you might already know. I like to keep my most use items versatile, and bold.  Since it is Spring (it doesn't seem like it according to all the rain) I tie my hair back most of the time to show off my statement necklaces. My watch was originally my mom's, but she gave it to me! I love having a bright color on my nails. It is a good way to add a pop of color into your outfit.  Lastly, I really like the quilting on my bag, and it is the perfect size for shopping with my friends.
