[ Dress - ASOS, heels - New Look ]
This weekend I was tired, grumpy, and my brain was fried from so much homework and stress. I wanted to ignore everything on my to-do list and just sit in my pajamas watching ‘Say Yes to the Dress’. But not on Saturday. Saturday I actually washed my hair, shaved my legs, redid my nail polish, and got to dress up all for…Chris’ sister’s wedding day! And not to brag, but I got sit in the front row at the wedding. A first for me, perks of dating Chris. His sister looked beautiful and it was so great to be a part of their day and visit with so much of Chris’ family again.
Awkward moment of the day: People I graduated with not recognizing me and introducing themselves after the wedding. In all fairness, it has been like over four years since they’ve seen me.
This is another he & she outfit installment (last one here). We also ended with this strange photo below.

this girl did.
For some reason I have really, really been feeling the color yellow/mustard lately. Proof: the cardigan, my nails, and now this perfect little dress that’ll arrive just in time to celebrate my three year anniversary with Chris. February 8, get ready. I’ll be strutting my freezing butt off just to be looking good for my man.
Fine, I’ll be wearing tights. Probably two pairs to try to double up on warmth. And a coat, duh, when we are outside. Stop hassling me.
The maroon cardigan? Same brand and style as my charteuse (aka yellow/mustard) cardigan but just happens to be $20 cheaper. The “rhinestone bib” necklace? I admit, I don’t know how this will go over. I don’t usually wear bibs or rhinestones. Cross your fingers it looks classy with a nice fitted top to wear to work or this baby will be returned.
Conclusion: Despite my gravitation to wearing neutrals, I’m warming up to bold colored garments. And apparently to blingy bibs too.
I’ve somehow revisited my Maroon 5 obsession from sophomore year of high school. Listening to them when I get ready, on my walk to classes, on my drive to work, and mini trips to the store. (“Chris, don’t feel down! Listen to this!” and I play Misery. Two times. Sometimes three.)
Awkward moment of the day: at work, explaining my changes to the proposal and further suggestions when suddenly I’m completely distracted. By distracted I mean I faintly hear an old Maroon 5 song playing in someone’s office. My brain derailed and I was embarrassed because it took me like three to five minutes to pick up where I was.
Side note: am / pm something you guys like? I really love how Sara Zucker does her 8am vs. 8pm feature and wanted to do something similar. Worth keeping y/n?

this week = midterms
What have I been doing? Well. I’ve been buying textbooks, reading textbooks, high lighting in textbooks, carrying textbooks, re-reading and memorizing textbooks.
I’ve been making lists on what do to and when to do it. I’ve been juggling studying between coursework and actual work. I’ve been sending out birthday cards (when did cards get so expensive?). I’ve been noticing my “black spot” (aka my roots growing out) becoming more and more noticeable. I’ve pulled out my tea kettle again as well as my long sleeve shirts. I’ve (okay, mostly Chris) been teaching Ossie to catch frisbees in the air. I’ve been spending too little time at home.
I’m happy with how well I’m doing in classes and loving my internship/job, but I’m tired and I’m romance starved. I’m ready to spend a solid day/night with my man.
I’m ready to catch my breath, if only for a day.

It’s September. I want to start pulling out all my autumn clothes already! Long sleeves and scarves and tall boots! Luckily, the Oklahoma weather has finally dropped out of the hundreds and landed in the 70s-low 80s range this week. Giving me my first excuse to wear my new ASOS cape I ordered a few weeks ago—see this post! I don’t want to hear a bad thing about it because I love it. And when I say love it, I mean I ordered Chris to admire it when I was prancing around the living room in it.
It’s breezy but still a bit warm outside so I skipped over the leggings and pulled on my black shorts and over the knee socks instead. I really can’t wait till the weather really gets cold so I can pair this cape up with a chunky scarf or a winter hat like this one in black. And completely unrelated but how adorable is this little beanie with bear ears?
What are you waiting to pull out of your closet to wear for cooler weather?
*Don’t forget only four more days left to enter for my giveaway!

Today = classes, assigned reading, dinner & studying
What I really wore to classes today was a t-shirt and shorts and a ball cap. So I’m glad I have these photos from Sunday! Oklahoma was kind and decided to drop its weather out of the 100s and into the low 80s & 70s. It actually feels like fall! I pulled two of my long tunics out (violet tunic seen before in this post) and layered them along with my leather jacket. You may remember this jacket from when I first started doing posts (here)!
Now, back to flash cards and practice quizzes. Crazy, exciting stuff happening over here.
What’s been playing on my Pandora station today:
Black Balloon by the Goo Goo Dolls, The Thief by Relient K, Float on by Modest Mouse, Warning Sign by Coldplay
Vero Moda Knitted Poncho (brown), ASOS Overknee Socks (black)
I’m more of a winter kind of girl. I love winter clothes and wearing layers so come summertime, I panic! I’m mostly just wear shorts and a tee. And even though it’s only the beginning of August, I’ve already got my mind on oversized sweaters, mustard colored cardigans, thick socks, and wool leggings. Not to mention boots.
And last night, Chris and I are sitting together on the couch. Listening to music and talking and poking about on the internet. I’m looking at autumn/winter clothes, feeling a bit down about money. And he sweetly offers to buy the two items above. All I could do was scoot closer and give him a kiss.
