Freezing in 95 Degree Weather

It has been beyond hot for Minnesota summer this week. Yesterday it was 99F. So instead of wearing shorts and a tank top like a normal person, I chose long pants and a long sleeved shirt...and a hat. In my defense, I spent most of my day in Starbucks where the air-conditioning is on so high it feels like I'm sitting in a giant walk in freezer.

Graduation

(Dress-Ann Taylor Loft, Shoes-Franco Sarto, Watch-Michael Kors via Nordstrom, Bracelets-, Jewelmint and Gift)

I am officially a college graduate! I graduate last Saturday and this is what I wore.  I had two dresses picked out but decided on this one because it is so classic.  I paired it with nude heeled sandals, I wanted a chunky comfortable shoe because I was so afraid I would fall off the stage as I got my diploma. I am happy to say I safely made it across the stage. 

As for full outfit photos you can see they didn't turn out great.  It was so sunny and I already have a problem where my eyes are closed in half my photos. So I apologize for the random cropped photos.  As for that last photo,  my roommate told me to look like I was really excited to be graduating...and I pulled out the double thumbs up.  Yeah, I'm a total dork. 

Outfit of the Day: The Animal Print Belt

(Top-Forever 21, Belt-Nine West via T.J.Maxx, Jeans-Lucky Brand via Mashalls, flats-Tory Burch via Nordstrom, Watch-Michael Kors via Nordstrom, Necklace and bracelets-gifts)

I'm obsessed with animal print, always have been, probably always will be.  I love incorporating animal print into outfits through accessories and when I spotted this belt for $16.99 at T.J.Maxx I scooped it up immediately. I love how comfy this outfit it but it still has kind of a glam feel with the pleated silky shirt and flats. Perfect for a day of shopping and lunch with girlfriends...or in my case, studying for finals.   

Outfit of the Day: The 90s Denim Shirt

(Jeans-Paige, Denim Shirt-Forever 21, Sweater-Caslon via Nordstrom, Shoes-Ralph Lauren via Macy's, Watch-Michael Kors via Nordstrom)

I swear I had a denim shirt just like this one when I was 8, you can't really see it because I have a sweater on, but just picture a denim tank top via 1998.  When I saw it on Forever 21's website I had to have it. I had some good memories in the one I had when I was 8.  Plus I kind of on a denim shirt kick incase you couldn't already tell. Happy Monday! 

Outfit of the Day: The Sailboat Button-Up

(Shirt-Forever 21, Sweater-J.Crew, Pants-J.Crew, Shoes-Tory Burch via Nordstrom, Watch-Michael Kors via Nordstrom)

I ordered this shirt from Forever 21 with polka dots on it, but when I opened the package this morning I found this shirt with sail boats on it instead.  You would think I would be a little upset that I was sent the wrong shirt but quite the contrary.  I have a slight obsession with boats, sail boats to be exact so I will definitely be keeping this shirt! (Clearly since I am wearing it today.)  I also may have ordered two other denim shirts along with this one...what can I say? I love denim shirts! 

Outfit of the Day: The Hair Cut

(Top-From Primp, not sure of the brand, Jeans-Paige, Belt-Gap (old), Shoes-Tory Burch via Nordstrom, Watch-Michael Kors via Nordstrom, Bracelet-gift, Earrings-Anthropology, Jacket-Fringe again not sure one the brand)

I finally did it, cut 13 inches off my hair and donated it to Locks of Love. I just had a mini heart attack thinking about it again.  I loved my long hair but it was time for a change. 

Now onto the outfit.  It was warm here today but super windy, hence that jacket. I was hoping to go in just a tank top but that was clearly not at option.  These are probably my new favorite capri's ever, they are Paige, which my roommate raves about constantly, and I got them at an amazing price at Nordstrom rack. Basically my roommate was right and I have worn them for 5 days straight. 

Outfit of the Day: A Little Bit Rock and Roll

 (Jeans-Joe Jeans, T-shirt-Target, blazer-Martin and Osa, Shoes-banana republic, belt-Zumiez(really old), earrings-Anthropologie, watch-Michael Kors via Nordstrom, bracelets-Banana Republic)

I like to think of this as my rock and roll band producer outfit.  It has a little edge to it with the studded belt and burn out concert style tee, but the blazer adds a little refinement.   I love the look of flare jeans with a blazer, I think the blazer does a great job of balancing out the flares.
