Rose Sweater

sweater: target, dress (worn as skirt) & tights: forever 21, booties: ruche

I love pairing a cozy sweater with other soft fabrics like tulle and chiffon. First of all, it's super cozy! Secondly, it just makes me feel pretty, and leaves me imagining that every step I take is more like floating or dancing. The new vintagey rose printed sweater I got from Target recently makes this version of the outfit one of my very favorites. It's a little bit Granny, and a little bit whimsy, just the way I like it.

Graduation

I know this is a fashion blog that I run here on Stylish Silhouettes, but I just graduated from college on Saturday, and felt that that was worthy of an update. I for one am pretty excited about it, I mean a have a degree, like whaaaaaaaat?! It is bittersweet as well though, because I know I won't be seeing as much of some of the wonderful people that I have grown to know over the years. Overall though I'm VERY excited to begin pursuing my dreams full time.

By the way, I'm referencing The Breakfast Club with this fist pump picture as it was my "final scene" of college, and The Breakfast Club's final scene is of course an epic fist pump, so it only seemed fitting. It's lame I know, but I've found it looks much cooler if you sing DON"T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME very loudly as you stare at the picture. Ok, I'm done being weird now. I'll return with fashion tomorrow.

Sunny Afternoon

top: charlotte russe, skirt: urban outfitters, tights: calvin klein, necklace: vintage

Lace + Floral = Perfection, especially when one of those are in the form of a circle skirt like this one. I would just like to personally thank Urban Outfitters for creating such a pretty and comfortable skirt that I can wear over and over again. This is actually it's second time appearing on the blog, as I paired it with stripes some time ago in this post. 

In other news, tomorrow is the day that I officially graduate from college! I can't explain how relieved I am to be finished with studying, homework, and exams. Finally, I have more time to focus my attention on much more important things. That may or may not include sunny afternoon dance sessions while spinning Lana... you spin me 'round like a ballerina....

Secret Garden

dress and boots: asos, socks: target

Say hello to my newest piece (pieces actually) of loveliness from Asos! I had a complete AHH! moment the second I saw this dress. It just looks so secret garden like with the beautiful embroidered flowers and sweet peter pan collar that I couldn't resist it! It's so rare to find a piece that is just as easily pretty as it is cool, and this dress fulfills both of those!

Fox Sweater

sweater and shoes: old navy, leggings and bow: forever 21

 This may not be my most stylish outfit, but it's definitely one of my most comfortable! It's been exam week at school, and I've just been consumed with studying and working. Anything with a cute fox on it is sure to brighten my day though!

Polka Dot Shorts

top: forever 21, shorts: made by me, socks: urban outfitters

Let me again start with an apology for such bleh quality pictures! It's been raining so much here lately it's been hard for me to be able to get outside and take some in good lighting. I always am hoping that the natural lighting from the window will be enough, but it always just leaves the pictures looking super grainy. You can still see the outfit, however, which is the most important part. I know I've been wearing the black knee socks out ya'll, and I'm sorry, I just love them with anything and everything in the winter time! Plus, I can't quit hearing Alex Turner's voice singing "when you walked around the house wearing my sky blue Lacoste and your knee socks..."

Hello December

top: old navy, skirt:charlotte russe, socks: urban outfitters, tights and jewelry: forever 21

It's December 1st ya'll, so it only seemed appropriate that I bust out the flannel! To me, flannel shirts give off the typical outdoorsy/lumberjack vibe, so I love pairing them with sparkly jewelry and girly skirts! Although, for the rest of my homework (and maybe some grocery shopping) filled afternoon  I've changed from the skirt, knee socks, and oxfords, into leggings, combat boots, and a chunky sweater for a more casual look. 

Anyways, December is going to be a busy month for me! I'm graduating, completing the pieces for my clothing line, still working, and not to mention all the wonderful craziness that comes with Christmas! Thank goodness for coffee!
