Outfit 77:
Watercolor splashed black dress (Forever 21)
Black blazer (Ross- suit) 
Black and Brown sandals (Last Chance)

I kept jewelry to a minimum (watch and cross necklace) with this outfit since the dress' pattern is busy and there's black on black. Find a dress that cinches at the waist and ruffles at the bottom for the most slimming effect.

Paisley Scarf (Goodwill)
Red Lipstick (Walmart)

Rainy Saturday Afternoons are well spent with friends, comfy winter clothes in a cute coffee shop in downtown Phoenix. I finally adventured over to LUX coffee and fell in love. The entire shop was filled with laptops, mochas and cool music. Definitely check out a place like this when studying.

Outfit 25:
creme tank (H&M)
Green Blazer (thrift)
Black pencil skirt (Pitaya)
Heels (Ross)
Necklace (Last Chance)

Today I attended a job fair and spoke with a rep from an Ann Taylor Store (so amazing!!!) When making first impressions with companies tone it down; wear neutrals and suits but also show your individual style. She was able to give great insight on wardrobe for interviews and how to present yourself!























Outfit 24:
Light Pink sheer blouse (H&M $7)
Skinny Jeans
Brown motorcycle boots (Journeys)
Floral Infinity Scarf (Last Chance)
Betsey Johnson watch (Dillards)
Navy oversized clutch (thrift- 25 cents)

Today was a complete change from the nice sunny day yesterday- it was cloudy and raining! I snuggled up in my favorite scarf and boots and trucked around campus  to class.

When unsure of weather wear a sheer top, it will be cool enough but also cover your bare arms

Outfit 23:
Chambray tank (thrift)
Gray jeans (H&M- $9.99!)
Red sandals (Rue 21)
Black leather bracelets
red braided bracelet 

Today was in the 80's! Goodbye winter and hello spring! I was able to rock my new tank and jeans and was so excited! This whole outfit was until $20

Outfit 22:
nautical striped shirt (thrift)
Coral cords (H&M- on sale for $10!!!)
Navy Sperry's (Last Chance)
Gray Cardigan (K-momo)
Gold Chain Necklace (Thrift)

Originally this morning I was wearing a cute white sweater but someone in the dining hall dropped a bottle of hot sauce and it splattered ALL OVER ME! Luckily my new cords were safe... not so much my dignity or sweater. But on the bright side, my good friend inspired this outfit! On our girl's night out the other night she rocked her new mint cords, flats and a navy stripped shirt and I loved it so much! Thanks Lauren Hewitt xoxo

Outfit 21:
black long sleeve (Target)
Brown leather Jacket (Ross)
Jeans (Levi)
Cheetah Flats (Foot Fetish Boutique)
2 gold chain necklaces (my older sister's closet)

Not feeling like getting extremely done up or trendy? Slick on some bright red lipstick, rock the sock bun and some killer flats and you will still feel comfy but look like you took a lot of time planning your outfit when it actually only took you 3 minutes. TA-DA!

Outfit 20:

creme tank (H&M)

black skinnies
