1 for 30!!

It is my first day of 30 for 30! Yay!! I had a little problem picking an outfit, I knew I wanted to wear the skirt, just had to find the right top to fit it. I apologize for the blurry not awesometastic pictures. It has been a rushed day, I have to pull an all nighter tonight. I promise tomorrows pictures will be better.


 





Where: To a hectic day of school, meetings, lab and dinner
What: Shirt- J.Crew (sale, Nashville find)
Skirt: Forever21
( the zipper goes all the way down the front of the skirt, LOVE!)
Shoes: Penny Loves Kenny Ballet Flats

This outfit was easy to move around in, and very comfortable. I really love when i can tuck my shirt into my skirt and not feel old or constricted. I like shape it adds, and I can use all the help I can get in that department. I got my spring semester, and for the first time ever I got the schedule I wanted. I also learned that I only have 7 classes left. The end is near!!!

I am doing the 30 for 30 challenge from Kendi Everyday. I am getting a late start, I know. I did not want to start the challenge while I was feeling a little under the weather and overwhelmed from school.

Cyber Window Shopping: Overstock

So I decided there was some need for some statement jewelry to spice up my winter wardrobe. I found some amazing pieces at overstock.com. Here is the direct link to look at all their amazing handmade jewelry selection.
19.99

Who wouldn't want this baby on their finger in a lbd. It screams look at me.


37.99
OMG! I want these. They would spice up any sweater or Holiday wear.


29.99
This would make a statement against any winter doldrums that may fester this season. It would dress up any outfit, and make a bold statement.


37.99
I picture this dress up jeans, a tee, and boots. The colors on it would really pop against the muted colors of the season.



24.99
I am obsess with amethyst, it has a natural beauty to it. It spices up a simple dress or dresses up a tee and jeans. I love the way it is a natural beauty.


14.99
I love these vivid colors, they remind me of fall. Its recycling too :)


Overstock has extended an early holiday present to all my readers 10% off. Use the code ?121728?.

I loved this chance to early Christmas shop for myself and others. Hope you all enjoyed it as well.

All the ideas and opinions expressed are my own. No monetary compensation was received for doing this post, however, I was provided with a discount code.

Knight of Style 9-7-10

I apologize for my absence; vacation, school, organization, and work consumed me for a little bit. I think my system is down pat now, I am going to try and do post the night before and then they will be all ready to go the next day. I have tons of vacation pictures and shopping finds to share with you. I have found a new appreciation for goodwills! Three dollar J.Crew, why yes please :)


I don't know why these are like this but I like it!


                                                         Detail on my shirt:
Where: School
Jeans: Joe's
Shirt: Thrifted
Belt: Vintage (mommy's)
Shoes:Ussa
I have to wear pants to school on Tuesday and Thursdays. We are not allowed in lab without them. I really have no idea why, maybe my school is scared our dead specimen will attack our legs? So expect to see lots of pants on these days. I really love all my Joe's jeans, they always fit to perfection. I was feeling simple so the small detail on this shirt fulfilled my needs. This outfit was really comfortable and allowed me to feel pulled together.
