Playfully Refined

What I'm Wearing
Head Scarf: H&M | Earrings: my sister's closet | Necklace: old
Trench Coat: H&M (thrifted $7)
Cream Scarf: F21
White Button-Up: H&M (my sister's closet)
Slate Midi-Skirt: H&M ($20)
Brown Satchel: H&M ($15)
Oxford Style Flats: Kimichi Blue (ebay)

I had a lot of fun taking pictures on this day. Most of that had to do with the fact that I felt so removed from blogging and taking pictures that it was almost uncomfortable for me to be "natural" so I delivered all the most awkward poses I could think of. And it made both me and my friend Jasmine have a good ole laugh.

THIS JUST IN:
-By the time this post goes up, I will be DONE with finals. HOW EXCITING!
-TOMORROW is my birthday and my hair is STILL NOT DONE. *nonchalantly hyperventilating*
-I look like a grandmother from the 50s/60s in this outfit an I am okay with that. All this picture needs is to be sepia toned with a couple faded edges and VOILA! An almost authentic Throwback Thursday ;)

-The bottom half of the photo below looked outrageous. I'll take it to my grave with me...and Jasmine of course. Since she took the picture in the first place.

Vertically Striped

What I'm Wearing
Fur Lapel: H&M | Jewelry: F21 | Broaches: (old earrings)
Light Double-Breasted Jacket: H&M ($5)
Striped Top: thrifted ($3)
Electric Blue Skirt: H&M ($5)
Two-Toned Flats: Nine West (my sister's closet)

I didn't do too well in being creative with this post title, I'm sorry. My brain is currently on the skillet we like to call college finals. I have two to take today (this post was written on Monday night with the intention of being posted Tuesday afternoon by which time I would have taken one and will have one more to take at 5:45pm. Oh, the joy. Help me contain it...)

This outfit was my spring debut of my legs! Yes! I had been hiding them underneath double layers of tights all winter and now they're out! Getting some air (and some wind! Boy, was it windy that day!)

Make sure to check out some other striped looks on IFB's roundup this week!

It's been a long time (long time)
I shouldn't have left you (left you)
without a dope [outfit] to step to...step to... step to
/rap
(Inspiration)
:)

I'm baaaaaaaaaack! (If you'd like, click the inspiration link, and have it play as this post's personal soundtrack. You won't be disappointed.)
It has been a whole two months and, the entire time, I felt like I all my energy was draining from my being. I doubt anyone can truly the extent to which I have missed blogging!

I've been completely swamped with school. (I still have three finals to take, so I'm not completely done YET!) I was taking three programming intensive courses and utilizing three different languages: C, Java, and Assembly. My brain was literally melting and I knew that if I didn't give my studies my FULL attention, I'd have to personally dig the grave to bury my future in. Not something I could say I was looking forward to. So... I took a much needed break and now, 6 days before my birthday, I am here! Back. With outfits I took pictures of in April that I never had time to blog!

I hope you all didn't miss me too much!

Happy Mother's Day
to all the wonderful mommies out there.
We, your daughters, are incredibly happy
to have you in our lives!
