First day of work Selfie + Mod Cloth Stylish Surprise

Hey lovelies! Sorry for the looooong hiatus, this summer has been a little...odd. My last semester of college was a little...stressful and I think I took the summer to really process everything.  I was also going through a lot with my relationship, so it was really hard to put on a happy face for the blog.  But, I do have good news! After almost four summer, I finished the first draft of my novel

There's going to be a lot of editing and a lot of hard work to make this perfect, but I'm excited about the next steps in this journey.

In other news, I started my new job yesterday! I am a professional Reading and Writing Tutor at the community college I used to go too before getting my bachelors. It's weird being back on campus not being a student, but looking hella like a student. Also I'm hard core missing SUNY Potsdam, so it made me miss it more. But here is my first day of work outfit.

Someday I would like to take a picture where I am not looking low-key miserable and look like one of my legs is thicker then then the other(fun-fact:there not!)
Anywayyyy: my dress is from JCPenny's and I love it because it's the the perfect color for fall it's super comfy.
I also took part in another ModCloth Stylish surprise. If you guys remember,  I did this in May and I really liked it so I thought I would do it again, only this time I got a dress and shoes.
The Dress


This dress, Which I got for 20 buck is a OH MY LOVE London dress (called Stayin' Alice). When I first pulled it out of the box, I wasn't sure how I felt about it, but trying it on I really loved it. It was the prefect flapper dress. I was hoping for a work dress but this would be great for a date night or a 1920's party. It was originally 105 bucks so I say it was a steal
Shoes:

These shoes I got for 10 bucks are Qupid Archer sandals which I found on Amazon for 17 bucks. I was really hoping for heels (like always) but these are super cute comfy and I like that it kinda matches the dress. Would I have bought it on my own, nope. But I think I can make it fit into my closet.
Conclusion
Total everything I got is worth 120 bucks so I got a really good deal. Would I have picked this myself? Probably not, but I really liked everything, and seeing some reviews on instagram and reddit, It could have been much worst.

Best Sunglasses and Swimsuit Pairings

Hello loves! Summer is finally here and I am so happy! It’s been a hard winter, but summer seems to finally set in, and I have embraced it with open arms.  One of my favorite thing about summer is the fashion! I love shorts, tank tops, sandals, and dresses, all of which were made for summer. However, my favorite summer outfit is probably a bikini and a pair of sunglasses, a.k.a the one true pairing. I love more than anything is to go for a swim in my pool and then dry off with a good book. I go through tons of sunglasses over the years, always on the hunt for the “perfect pair”.  Which is why I got so excited when Warby Parker, an online shop that sells gorgeous prescription glasses and sunglasses at affordable prices, announced the launch of their newest collection of sunglasses called “The Summer Edit” with different styles for everyone!  My eyes were particularly drawn to the more feminine styles (because when am I not drawn to all thing girly? lol). Plus, th...

Fashion History Lesson: Chokers

Image
Hello, lovelies! I hope everyone is doing well today. It's actually supposed to be in the 70's here this week and I'm super excited. I'm trying not to get my hopes for an early spring...but I'm totes getting my hopes up for an early spring. Today I'd thought I'd talk about my two favorite things: fashion and history. I am a huge history buff and I actually love watching different trends turn up again in different ways throughout history. What's cool about fashion is that it's circular, even though they may look a little different with each go around. So we'll start off with one of my favorite trends going on right now: the choker. I'm obsessed with chokers you guys! Like they are the perfect way to have a little edge in your lives: whether you're trying to channel a little bit of 90's kid vibes into your style, or go full blown Edge Queen.           See? From 90's Princess to Power Witch, get a girl who can do both. Or you ...

My Top 24 Outfits

Hey loves! Hope you all are having a wonderful Wednesday and just having a good month in general. August is my favorite month, not only because it's my birthday month, but because I can enjoy pumpkin spice everything and Halloween decorations in 80-degree pool weather. Speaking of birthdays...my birthday is tomorrow! I'll be turning the big 24 and kinda feeling meh about it. I've never really been excited about my birthday unless I was going on a trip or something. Idk, I get weirdly sad about my birthday. Plus I feel like I celebrated it a week ago when I got my first byline in Teen Vogue  which was an amazing experience and like I'm so proud of it, and a friend came over and celebrated with me which was really nice. I don't think of doing much tomorrow. Maybe go to Barnes and Noble, but nothing really cool. Helloooo adulthood. Anyway, in honor of my 24 birthday, here are my top 24 favorite outfits that I've ever put together. From vintage dresses to fancy ...
