Photos taken on April 25, 2013

My friend Jasmine messaged me a few days before helping me take these and said, "I found the most perfect place to take pictures, but we have to hurry." She told me about how beautiful the flowers blooming looked and I was excited! (She has a good eye, don't you think?) So, we picked this day to go over to shoot.

After taking just seven pictures, my camera's battery died and I had left my backup battery at home. :( But, since the seven that we took look fine, ♪♫♪ I ain't go no worries ♪♫♪!

This spring, I developed a love for layering my leather jacket over any of my denim jackets. I didn't put much thought into it the first time I did it because I was more concerned about not having a light enough jacket that was also warm...so I decided to put on two light jackets. Hey, it worked.

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!
