What's this? Good quality photos? Those who have been reading my blog since the beginning of summer might remember that I once filled this blog with amazing photos taken by my sister-in-law, Elyse. What I didn't mention is that I have another sister-in-law, Ashley, who also has an awesome camera and actually works at my school. More proof that I have the best family, Ashley has offered to help me with photos every so often, making her the third family member of mine to have a Flickr album devoted to photos of me. With her job and two adorable kids of her own, I won't be asking her to take my pictures every time, so a lot my pictures will still be taken with my not-so-great camera. Hopefully, though, I can least convince her to waste her time taking pictures of me a couple of times a week or so.
In other news, today is the first day of classes so I suppose it's time to take my brain off vacation mode for now. I'm writing this in between my 10:00am weather & climate class and my 12:00pm public speaking class. Did I mention I spent much of the past two years taking major and minor related classes and now have to get those gen-eds in there finally? Awesome.
I wore this on Saturday to a friend's pretty casual baby shower, meaning I still managed to be more dressed up than anyone there. Oh well, at least I finally got a chance to wear this shirt. Not only is lavender, but it's denim too. Madewell is by far my favorite store, but as a broke college student, I find it impossible to afford anything in there and am forced to weep every time I see it. By some magical force, I've actually managed to find two items, this shirt and a cardigan, on sale for about $15 each. My life is made...by Madewell. Fun fact #398: sometimes I think I'm funny. It's because I am.
Shirt: Madwell
Dress (worn as skirt): Francesca's Collections
Shoes: UO
What a soft and feminine outfit, loving the lavender on you! Good luck with your first day back !
ReplyDeleteI can definitely see that you're back in the midwest by the location of the pictures (which are beautiful, by the way!). And I am loving those black loafers! I MUST buy loafers this fall.

This is by far one of my favorite posts! The outfit! The scenery! The cute face! Haha and I was JUST going to buy those shoes at Urban! The heel is so so adorable. Darn, we could have been twinsies.
ReplyDeleteI always go goo goo gaga over Madewell, but I don't have a single piece from there b/c I can't afford )-: hopefully I'll be lucky and find something on sale ;-)
lovely photos :) I love your polka dot dress, I think I need one of those on my closet so badly! I really like you're wearing a blouse over the dress, I do that all the time so I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks it can actually be a good idea haha
ReplyDeletegood luck with school! I still have some time of holidays left, I'm trying not to think of going back to college too much, it gives me pretty much a headache! haha hope you'll have a great time :)

Love the light blues of the outfit against the field, so pretty! How lucky that you have family that can take your picture! I feel like usually I wouldn't ask friends to do it, so that pretty much leaves it to my BF or my tripod because my family lives far away!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you look adorable, we don't have a madewell by me so maybe thats a good thing for my wallet!
Happy Monday!
