Golden

Classes started today! And so did my new job in the school office. It was a fun day!

I wore this really flowy (and red) outfit today because I wanted to be cool and comfy for classes and work. It has been SO hot and humid these past few days! And it worked pretty well; I was comfy enough and as cool as could be hoped :o)

I got this dress from Maurices a few weeks ago, and I love it. It's so feminine. Its only fault is the spaghetti strap sleeves (or lack thereof, heh). I love pairing it with this button down shirt (and sweaters, as weather allows) because the effect is so breezy and relaxed. The dress is too short for comfort but some black leggings create a chic, girly, and modest look. :) Leggings are also super comfortable.

And by the way, this is Amanda, my friend, roommate, and photographer! We had a lot of fun taking pictures on campus in the golden light of the evening. It was a perfect night! :o) 

Have a great week everyone!

Coffee Shop Chic

I wore this outfit to meet my old out-of-town friend at the coffee shop this morning. It's a simply gorgeous day outside, with tons of sunshine, blue skies, a lovely breeze, and a tinge of chill. Autumn is on its way, which is a tad sad because we didn't even have a decent summer. But I do love Autumn :o)

I love the combination of loose shirt and skinny jeans. It's super comfy and simple, but just add jewelry or a scarf and cute shoes and you've got the perfect casual fall outfit! It's great for transitioning from hot to cool weather.

I finished the outfit with one of my favorite pairs of flats. I always have a hard time knowing what to put these with. They're adorable but I already have a lot of florals that I wear, and I don't want to over-florify. :o) But this outfit is simple enough (and the mint and dark denim are in the same color family) that the little pops of color in my shoes, necklace, nails, and lips add nice contrast without being over the top. Flats are my favorite, and I love how the red floral pattern adds a bit of fun. Do you have a fun little item that you love to add a pop with? Let me know!

Have a great weekend everyone!
