No Wardrobe Repeats: A Mini Challenge

This week has been so busy! My best friend got married last weekend (pictures to come!) and I started my second grad school term–a semester’s worth of 2 classes crammed into 6 weeks! Yikes. Add lots of work deadlines to that and you get a sucky blogger who doesn’t post much…

I’ve kind of let the purpose of this blog get away from me, so I’ve decided to throw a fun challenge in to get myself back in the game (well, technically I’ve not been “out” of the game, I just haven’t been blogging much about it).

The name of the challenge is “No Wardrobe Repeats,” as cleverly indicated in the post’s title. My goal is to see how many days I can go w/o re-wearing an item as of the 1st day of the challenge (Monday). Shoes and accessories don’t count, bc I’d be out of shoes in a matter of a couple weeks. I really don’t own that many pairs anymore.

Day 1:

Cream-colored lacey floral dress: Charlotte Russe | Brown cardigan: Target | Sandals: Aero

Day 2:

Coral dress: H&M | Gray/beige sweater: H&M | Lace-up oxford heels: DSW

I wasn’t feeling that great today (allergies), sorry for my general sloppiness

Sweater: Victoria’s Secret | Teal skirt: Forever 21 | Black flats: Target

Ultraviolence

Lana Del Rey’s new album has finally been released to the U.S. today!

I’m a happy girl ❤ I haven’t got through the whole album yet, but with song titles like “Fucked My Way Up To The Top” and “The Other Woman,” I feel it’s going to be an amazing one (because what LDR album isn’t?). I don’t want to sound like a hipster, but her music really makes me feel like nothing else can. While I’m off in the land of emotional feels, check out one of her singles, West Coast:

Bridal and Baby Shower OOTD’s

Summer, weddings, and babies, oh my!

Last Saturday I attended a bridal shower for my best friend, Cassie. I realized on my way home that I forgot to get any pictures with the blushing bride-to-be I’m sure we’ll make up for it at her wedding in two weeks though!

I feel like my hair always photographs poorly in these outdoor photos. I hope it does not always look like that in real life! :O Ha

Bridal Shower Outfit of the Occasion:

Lace-collared chiffon blouse: Forever 21 | Black pleated maxi-skirt: Forever 21

I matched the outfit with some fun gold, stud, and leopard-print jewelry.

Baby Shower Outfit of the Occasion:

Today’s occasion was a duo-baby shower for Ryan and I’s couple-y group of friends. While three of the girls are pregnant, this shower was for the two due next in July–one a boy and the other a girl. Knowing that most dress pretty casual, I wanted to wear jeans, but I paired it with a pretty blouse in the event I was under-dressed (which I wasn’t!).

Navy, dusty blue, and white blouse: Forever 21 | Jean capris (technically they’re pants given to me that were too short, but hey, it works!): American Eagle | Braided faux-leather sandals: Aeropostale

I wore my favorite pink pearl earrings and some silver jewelry, not at all trying to do a pink/blue theme for the shower! I also had to leave early to get some schoolwork done that was due at midnight. Yay MBA!

Hope your weekend is fantastic and slow! 🙂

OOTD: Polka Dots + Hot Pink Skinnies

I just love these pants! The bright pop of color is perfect for summer, and helps cheer me up on this otherwise rainy, dreary day 🙂 I also adore the daintiness of this bow-bracelet. I’ve really been lusting after some …
