4 of 30!!

Its 4 of 30 and I am posting it on the day I wore it! Woot!!!







Where: School, lab, meeting, cookie making
Blazer: Express
Shirt: Old Navy
Jeans: Joe's
Boots: Black mid-thigh Nine West
Bracelet-Nashville Find

I DREADED, and I mean dreaded taking pictures today. So it was a pleasant surprise they turned out well. I really loved this outfit. On lab days I have to be able to move around and can have minimal accessories on. If they are hanging or loose they would end up disgusting. This bracelet fit perfect and really added a little sparkle to the outfit. I loved how the sleeves of my shirt peaked out from the sleeves of my blazers.
Today was a good day.... Which was a great contrast to this weekend. My heart feels a little lighter. I hope this trend continues. Now I am off to deliver cookies to spread the good cheer.

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 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.
