So I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before but I was interested in getting a second job as well as work at the office. The office closes at five each day and is only Monday through Friday. Working some nights and weekends seemed like a great idea for extra money. But then due to my class schedule and other unforeseen problems I no longer work at the office anymore. Bottom line:...

the wallflower
V-neck sweater - local shop, floral shorts - Miley Cyrus, basic black tights, over the knee socks - Forever 21, suedette moccasin boots - New Look
Yesterday was another bizarre weather day for Oklahoma! Though the weather was up in the seventies, snow and ice are predicted for Monday. (Give us a snow day!) What’s going on with these drastic weather changes? The suddenly warm got me...

wish to wear / pugs
ASOS Pug Sweat Shirt, Topshop Strip Pug Print Ankle Socks
I must admit, I adore pug print clothes! If my budget (more meaning if Chris) allowed I would scoop up these socks in both colors so fast and find a way to justify spending forty dollars on a sweatshirt. Such outrageous pricing! But that’s European based shops for you.
Just going to save these in my favorites…

something better than in the middle
Forever 21 colorblock top, Pac Sun black skinnies, Gap flats
Today is my long day of uni. My classes begin at 1230 and are spaced oddly throughout until 10 tonight. No fun! But this week has been passing seamlessly and I’m ontop of my coursework…studying for an exam on Monday and finishing Frankenstein (which I read in high school) for my lit class.
I picked this wear today!...

effective in pairs
Forever 21 striped jumper, jean shorts - DIY, basic black tights, quilted black flats - local shop
So I know I said I was going to do Sunday Vlogs now and I did record one, I promise! But I was blinking like a crazy person throughout the entire video so I figured just best to skip it. This is what I wore today to go to classes and pop around town to run errands. I switched it up and wore...

My moleskine, my knit hats and belts collection
Very little posts this week! I haven’t being feeling hugely motivated to get ready these past few days or photogenic (eee pimples!). That and I’m very boring. I’d just be complaining about walking to uni in the snow and then finding out the class was canceled or how I’ve been doing so much note taking that my handwriting...

clumsy, creative bliss
Scarf - snagged from my mom, Forever 21 leather jacket, Forever 21 bag, basic black leggings, white racer tank, Forever 21 relaxed fit top
So I’ve ripped this scarf (sorry mom, you’re never getting it back!) and jacket from this outfit to wear to art class this morning. Brr rabbit, it was so cold this morning! So I doubled up on my leggings but couldn’t find my winter...

ok, ok
American Eagle shawl collar cardigan, Old Navy checkered flannel, Forever 21 racer tank, American Eagle jegging, knee high socks - gift, New Look ankle buckle boots
So I’ve decided to axe doing “Sunday portraits”, it feels a bit silly doing a weekly portrait when my regular posts usually include photos. So what I think I may do instead, since I’ve been feeling around...

we might as well be strangers
Leather jacket, lace trim top - Forever 21, liquid leggings, lace up boots - local shop, knee socks - gift, scarf - snagged from my mom
This has been a trying week for me. I’ve spent the majority of it crying in bed or crying to Chris or crying on the phone to my mom. Not a wide range of emotions as you can tell. I realize, since I write a blog, a lot of my life is public through...

Headed to university today in the snow! The snow is still hanging on but barely. I actually woke up at 730 this morning to be ready for a job interview but thirty minutes after I got out of the shower they called to reschedule. (Grr, this is the second time I’ve rescheduled!) So it was postponed to later this afternoon.
End result, my face and hair were made up but I stayed in pajamas...

01. Spring semester starts up tomorrow. I have been moving around my course schedule all week. I like to try to clump all my classes together but this semester, they are all so spacious and not very work friendly. But I also meet with my boss tomorrow to figure out my new work hours so hopefully everything will get settled.
As of right now my courses are Nutrition and its lab, Readings in...

the girl has pout
Free People rings, Forever 21 capsleeve top, Forever 21 cardigan
I’m in such a mood today! I have a canker sore resting in the gum of my front lip, I got little to none sleep last night, and have a deep gash on my finger (from being a monster with the brownies). Earlier this week I also began running and lifting weights so I’m wobbling from being so sore! Definitely out of...

its better if you do
American Eagle shawl collar cardigan, American Eagle jegging, basic black bandeau, Brian Lichtenberg tank
I haven’t left the house at all today. I was originally planning on going into the office to work today but its still closed down until next week. So instead I’ve just been doing German flash cards and reviewing (I have two exams to complete the first two weeks of classes)....

h is for haul
Photos of what I received from Christmas, varying from Chris to my parents to his parents. I already have packed away all the winter decorations we got, like the “A” and “C” snow globes from Chris’ parents or the stockings with our names and the pups’ names on them crafted from my mom, so no photos of those!
Lace trim top, long line lace top
Panties,...

01. My last day of winter holiday is here! Tomorrow I pick up my German lessons again and I also have new job interview in the morning. Fingers crossed on it going well! Am I the only one who completely dreads meeting up for interviews? I get so anxious. I’ve been going back and forth between what outfit I think I should wear. Then work at the office begins on Wednesday.
02. Chris and I...

welcome to alissab.me / alissab.us
So I have officially launched my new blog on blogger/blogspot! With the help (and financial support) of my dad I even have a spiffy “.com”! Well, rather a “.me” and a “.us” Either way, I am stoked for it. I’ll still be posting regularly to tumblr and keeping up with it!
But those of you who have this blog bookmarked please update with my new blog!
