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

i haven't worn anything very interesting lately...

with school out, i've been splitting my time between my apartment and my parents' place, so when i do happen to wear something fashionable, i don't have my camera with me, or i simply forget to photograph myself. however, i did give myself a new hairstyle (bangs!) which i will be posting shortly. i have also been looking ahead to fall 2010 fashion. it appears that military-inspired clothes will be big, as well as thigh-high boots and knee-high socks, so i'm trying to figure out how i'll incorporate these trends into my wardrobe.

so here is a list of things i'm craving for fall!

  • tweed booties from urban original
  • thigh high boots
  • plaid skirts
    Pleated Red Plaid Mini Skirt
  • button-down shirts
  • navy blue coat (which i actually already bought, from nordstrom bp)
  • slouchy sweaters
  • boyfriend jeans
  • olive green, plum, and nude colored clothes
  • white tights
  • tweed shorts
