What I'm Wearing - 9/21/10

sunny, 90 F
first day of classes










dress and tank: anthropologie
denim jacket: express
boots: aldo
heart necklace: claire's
heart & bow earrings: betsey johnson
orange bracelet: plasticland
strawberry tote bag: forever 21

Are you sick of this dress yet? This is now the third time I've posted it on the blog, lol. Ah well, it's one of my favorite summer outfits. I decided to keep it around for the transition to fall, even though I put most of my summer clothes in storage at my parents' house last weekend.

Also, I tried to scrunch my hair with mousse to make waves. But I don't think I left it clipped up long enough, so it didn't turn out very wavy. 

Ok well I have class coming up this evening, so I'm out. Bye for now!

What I'm Wearing - 8/8/10

morning
73 F, rainy

afternoon
90 F, sunny

The weather can change so drastically in one day in Chicago!

I was sick yesterday, so today my mom stopped by and made chicken noodle soup for me. =] I went to the gym in the morning, and spent the rest of the day cleaning my apartment and doing homework. So I wore something that was comfortable, and wore my boots because it was wet outside. And not a lot of makeup, except some peach lipgloss. 






shirt: boutique (fashion tomato)
shorts: charlotte russe
boots: steve madden
bracelet: can't remember!
earrings: pink ice
hairband: urban outfitters

These shorts that I'm wearing barely fit me a few months ago. I had been put on some medication, and it made me gain 10 pounds! I was constantly hungry! So my doctor added another medication that has the side effect of reduced appetite, and that fixed the problem. But now I was 10 pounds heavier, and my clothes barely fit. =[

So I've been working out a lot, and after 2 1/2 months I'm back to where I was before. I just need to tone up a little bit now. But my shorts are loose and comfy again. 

Also, another thing arrived in the mail!
...........

a plaid vintage jumper that I purchased off etsy!
(Please excuse my lack of make-up. I had just gotten out of the shower, and wanted to try it on as soon as possible.)

It's from the 80's, I believe, and I think it's adorable. I'm so obsessed with plaid. I'm excited about this because so far I don't have very many vintage pieces in my wardrobe, and I'm trying to fix that. So... yay!

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, and a good start to their week!

xoxo, alexandra

What I'm Wearing - 3/29/10


45 F
First day of spring classes

Shirt: Desigual (from local boutique)
Jeans: BDG from Urban Outfitters

Blazer: thrifted
Brooch: vintage (from rustyzipper.com)

Boots: Aldo

Bracelets: Brighton and ebay

Ring: pinkice.com
Hot pink nailpolish: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear #23 Fuchsia Power

Lips necklace: Juicy Couture

Fake nose ring: piercedfish.com
turquoise eyeliner!: Urban Decay

My mom and I were shopping at my mom's favorite local boutique (Stella's, for anyone near the northern suburbs of Chicago), when I discovered and fell in love with Desigual, a designer from Spain. Their clothes feature a mix of colorful fabrics, which I love because it makes jeans and a t-shirt seem so much more complex. And I can wear any crazy-colored accessories and make-up, and it all seems pulled together. The items aren't exactly cheap, but are worth checking out if you crave that colorful eclectic look.


Coat: Urban Outfitters
Hat: Forever 21
Convertible Mittens: Uncommon Goods
