Sweater Weather

I am currently too busy to post outfit pics and also am hoping to get a tripod to post better quality pictures and so for today I will give you an inspiration post based on the changing weather. Featured are Flashesofstyle, Delightfully Tacky, and random other sources. I'll try not to exclude those with warm weather climates by showing layering options but I really do love this comfy type of weather :)

 

 

 

 

Fun in the not so sun-ny place I call home

As you will see I try to always maintain a sense of in my fall and Winfrey wardrobe. Though outside it may seem dreary, I think it's important to not let that stop you from doing the crazy things you love. For me that means wearing too tall of shoes and always accessorizing. Or it could mean knocking out your bucketlist! Whatever it may be just go for it because who's to say your path is wrong! And for another look at my leather look featured below be sure to check out my mention and lovely friend on epicfashionchronicles.blogspot.com . And because they are my future alma mater Go beavers!

Long ago frolicking photos :)

Awhile ago now or so it may seem I took pictures with one of my best friends in her yard with pastels and fun fall colors. Pictured are items such as the leopard jeans from Forever 21 which continue to be a great statement along with floral and coated jeans for fall. Also, fall colors are always a fun do in classic school styles such as the striped cardigan and pleated skirt featured. We wanted to capture the utter whimsy and fun often lost in fashion and though the flowers, the trees, and her wonderful resin jewelry would be a great way to showcase this. As of yet, my friend does not have an etsy shop to sell her necklaces but as soon as she does I will let those interested know :) 

Class room cutie

I've been in school four weeks and somehow it still doesn't seem real. Being a senior and having the confidence to go as crazy as I want to with fashion has been really fun. One day a fairy the next a flower and another a greaser. Taking risks has always been my goal but now with college an my future within my grasp having fun in highschool seems that much more vital. I can only hope I will be able to find a happy and healthy balance between the work I must do and the fun, as a senior I will embrace :) and so here's just a peek into how that looks as far as clothes!

Polka dots and fruits and knee highs oh my!

I found these two treasures in forever 21 and my local consignment store over the summer and as I am now back in school I have the perfect chance to show them off! I am a huge fan of statement dresses, retro touches, and prints galore so here is my ode to that and except more to come!

Fall Fashion: Prints, glitter, and tights oh my!

  For a look inspired by Emma Watson and modeling fall's hottest color: Add burgundy and lace inspired accents!  

 For a fantastic floral look just add leather, lace, or something else fun!

 Peter pan collar, printed pants, and that perfect denim vest make for a perfect statement for fall.

 Polka dot tights inspired by Marc Jacobs F/W 2011 for an edgy but quirky look.

 

Dear Ven, Here's how to dress A "real" woman as all real designers should be able to do...

So for all those who watch Project Runway you may have heard Ven's disparaging comments about his curvy client. And so in honor of her and the great dress she didn't find here is what I would have given to her to make her feel awesome instead of crying and upset:

I fancy fruit

Now some may say my penchant for lace and leopard prints cannot be matched within my closet but one such obsession is coming fairly close: fruit prints! Since the dawn of their birth amongst prada and Stella shows, their reworkings by gossip girl, Katy perry, betsey Johnson, numerous blogs and numerous brands I have undoubtedly fell in love with their bold statement and ongoing resurgences in popularity. Here is my take on a trend I hope never dies and it's childish and yet sophisticated quality. Whether attending a picnic, concert, pool party, or even simply in every day life I hope you consider adding such a delightful dash of whimsy.

Domino effect

Maxiskirts and stripes are great for summer and that added edge to such a fun look.

My prom look

Hey all you blog scrollers welcome to my glitzy prom look. Tuxedos and sequins are just two of my favorite things.

Lace Love Affair

2 modcloth dresses and a thrifted find I adore. I can't get over this lace cream color. There is something about them that are so pure and angelic and so of course I wanted to share them with you.
