I have noticed a lot of fashionistas and beauty gurus that
have been following me. First of all, welcome. You should know that I am by no
means a fashion expert. I also don’t want this to be a fashion blog. However,
this is about real girl problems. And the problem at hand is that not everyone
has the wardrobe of a supermodel. That being said, I like to dress nicely, but
in a way that is appropriate for a school setting. My mom never let me go out in public with
sweatpants, and that went from a rule to a lifestyle. I went to a high school
with a uniform, so there was not much room for creativity and expression. Now
that I’m in university, I have been able to expand my wardrobe. I also have a
brilliant system. When I see an outfit I like in a magazine or blog, I cut it
out/screenshot it. Then I go through my closets to see if I have any clothes
similar to the picture. If I do, I stick it on a bulletin board in my room. If
I don’t, I put it in a folder and the pictures act like a checklist for
shopping. It has worked really well for me so far. I actually hate shopping
(please don’t hurt me), so if I go in with a goal in mind, it takes much less
time and hassle. I think my system is real-girl oriented. So starting today and
following every Friday (hopefully), I will be posting my outfits of the week
(most likely school days only), and I will show you what I am copying. I’ll
give you a shout-out if I took it from your blog!
The leggings, boot, and t-shirt are all from Old Navy. The belt I took off of my graduation dress from the Bay. The shirt is vintage! It was my mom’s when she was in high school.
The boots, jacket, and button up are from Old Navy. The leggings are from Roots.
Boots and jeans are from Old Navy. The vest is from American Eagle. I got my t-shirt at a Walk off the Earth concert (best concert I have ever been to by the way).
The shirt and jeans (and not seen boots) are from Old Navy. The jacket is from Target.

Monday- This is
one of my shortest days at school, so I like to keep it comfy. I also didn’t
pick out my outfit the night before, so I didn’t have a ton of time to think
about what I was going to wear. That also means that it has no comparison. I
thought of it all by myself!

Tuesday- This
happened to be a rather cold day, and when I was walking home, some snow got
into my boots and my ankles froze. But anyway, I tell you that I have a great
system, and I don’t even use it this week. I recently got these leggings
because they were on sale, and I have been dying
to find an outfit to wear with them. So in the wee hours of last night (when
all my best ideas happen), I finally figured it out. The leggings are also one
size bigger, so there is a lot of extra room in them. But hey, extra comfy!
Plus, I love the sock monkey stuff.

Wednesday- Finally,
I get to show off how I usually style myself! I took this idea from Sincerely,Jules, and I really liked it. Please excuse my pants. I’m short, but I have
big thighs and a big butt. So pants and me don’t always work out. They are
always way too long! I always end up rolling them up. Clearly, this outfit is
not an exact match. That’s what my system is about. I get inspiration from
other places and use the clothes I own to make it work for me. I’m glad I
finally had the chance to wear my Walk Off the Earth t-shirt with an outfit.
Also, today was Ash Wednesday, so I have ashes on my forehead.

Thursday- I had
quite the busy day, so I forgot to take a picture (I’m not very good at getting
into a routine). I took this Friday night after my shower because that’s when I
remembered. I got this outfit idea from Seersucker& Saddles (not that this is the post from which I found the outfit, not that post in which the outfit was originally posted), which is a blog that I have been following for quite some
time now. I respect this woman so much. And she always looks fantastic! I wore
the same boots and jeans type thing as yesterday, so I did not both to show that
part today. Also, I had some troubles looking for the outfit on my laptop and I ended up using the old screenshot from my phone.

Friday- It was a
onesie day. I decided to not go to school and sleep in so I do not have an
outfit today
.
Nails of the Week-
I’m not going to be fancy, but I pretty much always have my nails painted. I do
not have massive hands. It is a mini bottle. I got a few seasonal mini collections
for Christmas.
