Watch

A bought this awesome watch at a local secondhand store today! The band broke and I had to buy a new one, but I'm absolutely in love. I first started to love watches like this because of What I Wore.

On another note, I love this skirt. Thrifted, from Talbot's.

beautiful beautiful day

Today was so beautiful that I didn't even need a coat! I'm sitting in Caribou right now about to do my homework. Fortunately, I don't have too much, but I need more people for pictures. My panel review for my senior project is the beginning of next month! Crazy to think that graduation is so close! Speaking of which, I need to order a tea and buckle down on homework.

red coat

this is my beautiful red coat that I got from H&M. One of my more spendy pieces, but so worth it. I need to learn to do that more. I love that it is so nice that I can wear this. Amazing, don't even need my transition coat. :)

i am demanding spring

I woke up at 8:30 this morning. Don't judge. For me, that's early. I would rather stay up until four in the morning, than get up at 7. But lately, I have realized that I am getting old. This super senior is slowly ridding herself of all-nighters....Well, since I was up 'early,' I was able to work out, shower and have a good attitude for the day. Thus, the crazy pose. I should get a normal sleeping schedule one of these days. Well in 2.5 months I will be graduating, so that should help :)

And yes, my elbows over-extend.

You should see what my thumbs can do.

new jeans!

Well, not really. When I flew back to school after Christmas break, my luggage weighed too much [surprise, surprise], so I had to leave these jeans back home. They came in the mail yesterday, and I was quite overjoyed to have more of my essential wardrobe back in custody.

Can you tell I'm wearing knee socks with my jeans? I think it's an ingenious idea. Keeps me so much warmer. I actually wore this outfit with a gray sleeveless sweater. [layering is my fave]

LBD

 The last time I wore this dress I wore a necklace, but it always got caught in the fabric. Thus, I ditched the necklaces for a pair of lovely earrings today :)

I got this dress for a wedding dress rehearsal of one of my friend's. Speaking of which I'm a bridesmaid in her wedding, and i absolutely ADORE my dress. Amazingly comfortable and classy. [I just need to lay off the ice cream to make sure I still fit into it!]  I'm so glad I got this one. I need to stitch the straps [a bit loose], but otherwise I love this dress.

Resurrection

Sorry for the absence. I pretty much died from this sickness that has spread all over campus. That, and who dresses up during snow days? That's right, I said days, as in plural. I've had three days off school. Well, technically I skipped a class because I was feeling sick on Tuesday, but I digress. First day this week I really felt pretty. [oops]

Well, I'm not wearing shoes yet, but I'll probably wear converse. Thus, you only get a headshot today. Besides, I need to go eat.

So that 'nothing major' tuned into a major. Bronchitis and a fever. Yuck. So I slept for two days and now I am feeling significantly better.

I did my hair a little different today. If you follow me on twitter, you know that a catastrophe happened. Suffice to say, don't trim your bangs when you are sick...it is much harder than it looks. Obviously I haven't improved upon my hairdresser skills since first grade. So anyway, I tried to disguise it with bobby-pins to keep certain pieces in place.

socks + tights

I love my outfit today. My room-mate always makes fun of me because my clothes are extremely wholesome. She is from the Netherlands and said that there is a church back home called the Black Stocking Church, who all wear really modest clothes. She said I should join, but that's pretty far to go for church. I would have a continual case of jet-lag and I'm just not prepared for that ;) If any of you watch/have seen Will & Grace, she is Karen and I am Grace.

It has been a really long time since I wore a dress [this one has pockets!!], months probably. I should definitely wear them more often, so easy to get dressed in the morning.

feelin' nautical

This is the shirt I got for 5 bucks at Penney's. Sah-weeet. Despite having a shower, I didn't feel like wearing a skirt today. This shirt would probably look really weird with a skirt, and I really like wearing new clothes. That is my reasoning [COUGH excuse COUGH].

winter found me

I am officially out of transition. I tried to hang onto my wool fall-to-winter coat for as long as possible. But when the high is 8 degrees, it makes you rethink your priorities.

So after some sporadic shopping at JCP and Charlotte Russe [two shirts and a sweater for less than 20? how could I possibly resist?] I cleaned out all my drawers and the closet. My drawer was starting to squeak because it was too heavy and I just couldn't find "anything" to wear in the mornings. The results: a much happier megan and two garbage bags for Goodwill filled with good clothes that I never wear [or just don't fit because I have had them since high school. Yup that is my excuse... not my tragic love for chocolate.] So refreshing to be able to find clothes.

Yes, I just showed you my closet. I feel so brave. [and mortified] I am still amazed that Elaine at ClothedMuch can do so much with her limited wardrobe. I get into a rut way too easily. Aren't you impressed with my shirts being filed? I got the idea over at Apartment Therapy. Brilliant.

diamonds or no debt?

Today was quite a bit nicer, high of 22--WOOT! Weird how our concept of temperature gets warped through the seasons. I have this awesome necklace. A suitcase and bejeweled camera. Yeah, those are diamonds. [yeah right. If I had diamonds I would sell them to pay off school loans.] I felt fat today, so no high waisted skirt. Comfy jeans that look like dress pants instead [I am so incredibly sneaky...or just lazy] Cafeteria food is not conducive to a well-balanced diet.

My shirt has pockets!! Sorry for that random outburst, but pockets make me happy.

Doesn't my hair look much better today? I washed it. It's really easy, but sometimes I'm too busy. [Gross, I know.]

mixture

I must say, the more I mix prints together, the more I love it. It's very quirky and something I would definitely not have done a year ago. And I do think that without this blog, I still wouldn't be doing it. Same for color. Looking at your outfits--well at least the ones you want the world to see--makes you see how you can get into a rut. I wear this skirt way too often, but it's the only knee-length skirt I have [not really feeling floor length right now] aside from my denim one. Time to go to Goodwill!

Beret

I got a new hat! =) Mom and I went shopping in Fargo today. Lots of good deals. But shopping is EXHAUSTING. Anyway, bought some stuff I normally wouldn't. Like boyfriend skinny jeans, a vest, and a tie (mom's idea actually :) I love when guys wear ties, so until it becomes a normal habit for them, I'll just bring it back for them ;) I found an amazing skirt at Talbot's. [drools] If I could afford Talbot's, I would be always buying from that store. It's so tailored, has fun materials and patterns. And very 40's inspired.

tie: Kohl's

Ring

It's interesting how your own likes change over the years. I used to hate the idea of rings. Probably due to the fact that I lost the first real ring I got. Mom found it on the floor, in the toilet paper plastic. Oops. After that, I was convinced that I would have a necklace instead of an engagement ring. Well, that's a different story.

So this is my cocktail ring. I'll put it to good use with all those cocktails that I consume. ;) Now that I think about it, it's been awhile since I had some fruit cocktail.
