.comfy denim shirt day.

What a wonderful day today! Perfect fall weather -- sunshine and a slight chill in the air! Didn't do any homework because I've suffered the past few nights so I wouldn't have to do it today. Hosting two girls interested in Northwest University has been fun! Took one of the girls to improv and Bubble Tea and had a great time! Lot's of laughs. I had a pumpkin spice latte today from Starbucks to end my month of store bought coffees and start the month of October in which I will not be buying ANY coffee. I can make it myself -- but no easy made for me and bought coffee. The challenge begins!

I've been dying to find and wear a denim shirt! I finally found one from H&M for $20 that was absolutely perfect! I can wear it with leggings, tied up, tucked in to jeans....

It was Thursday, I haven't had much sleep, had only a few classes, and was going to be hanging out with two girls who I was hosting for the night! Occasion seemed perfect for this comfy, yet cute outfit!

.RED.

What a wonderful day to be alive! Even though I was up till 3am finishing this guy... My painting of oranges was complete and I slept a few hours last night! Woke up late, but thankfully already knew I wanted to wear my brand new red blazer...

I posted earlier this fall about the in color RED. So of course I couldn't go without sharing my red piece. I found this one antique from a store called "Red Light" on the Ave in the U-District. So excited about this find! =)

Tonight will consist of another late night studying. But after work I sat with Tim at Rococo and chatted it up. I'll take the small amount of time we get together. I really appreciated doing that tonight despite the mounds of homework due tomorrow and Friday sitting in front of me. I'm ready to go though because I've had a great day...

.I miss blogging!.

Ahh! I miss you blogging world! My thoughts are so easily conveyed through typing words and I love summing up each day in a short blog post! And my obsession with fashion is growing and doesn't have a place to be shared besides me walking around... I wouldn't call it a negative obsession though. For me it's more like an art. A chance to be creative everyday in recombining my pieces for new outfits! Though today's outfit is my recent Ann Taylor purchase ... I love it! It was a step out of my comfort zone, but I ended up walking confident in it by the end of the day!

A maxi skirt was on my fall must fashion list. This one is great (from Ann Taylor of course) because of the little flair and pleating in the back at the bottom to give it some shape. Over sized, comfy sweaters are a must for the fall and into the winter season! Combine the two and WA LA!!! ...

.my life beyond fashion.

It's midnight and I have homework ahead of me, coming off a 6 hour shift at work! Today the lady at Starbucks asked if I wanted an extra shot. After hesitating and deciding yes, she replied "I thought so." What does that mean? haha I needed to blog though. Yes I know this is supposed to be a fashion blog, and I haven't blogged fashion for a while, but sometimes my life goes much more than fashion. Sometimes I just need time to reflect and think about my "inner fashion" (yes-- cheesy I know) instead of what I'm wearing on the outside.

I'm so incredibly blessed. Though with this schedule of mine, it's a constant reliance on God to get me through each day. Little things come up and I ask why? ... Yet it is still God that gets me through each day. I've decided I need one night a week to me. 100% me. Not me and homework, not me and friends -- just me and wherever I decide to place myself. Whether that is in my room listening to worship music, painting my nails, reading magazines, and scrapbooking... or at a thrift store somewhere wandering around the wonderful treasures! It's gonna be my night. Even if it's just for a couple hours....

I miss Tim. We both have crazy schedule's right now, so even though we are in the same city, even at the same school, we hardly ever get to see each other except for a few minutes when each of us are passing and going in different directions. I appreciate what we have though. I know this season will pass, so in the mean time take advantage of each moment.

Goodnight,

.incredible blessings.

God has so incredibly blessed my life recently that I need to write an entire blog post about it. Yup, dedicated just to the blessings. First off, God has blessed me financially -- not that I'm rich, but every time God provides me with my needs. Sometimes even a few wants. For example, the other day I unexpectedly received a $50 Visa Gift Card from Ann Taylor for the store meeting goals last quarter. That allowed me to buy an antenna for my room so I have cable now! =)

My second huge blessings is time management. It's a miracle life is going as smoothly as it is. 17 credits at school, 25 hours of work a week, homework, and still time to have friend time, hang out with Tim time, going to sports games time, and of course God time. And still staying on top of studying. Not sure how this is happening, but it's a blessing it is.

My third huge blessing? How incredible everyone is in my life right now. My boyfriend is amazing, I have awesome friends, great professors that I really respect, a wonderful family that supports me in school, an encouraging team of ladies at work...

You all just needed an update on my life right now to see the real side of me instead of just the fashion side of me. So this is it. I'm incredibly blessed.
G'night!

,adjusted back to life.

Woo! It's been a couple weeks! Finally moved back to Kirkland, settled in my dorm room, starting to get used to a work routine and learning my place, figuring out how to cram in study time while making time for dates and time with friends. Even though there has been a lot of transitioning, I'm feeling good and not stressed!

Here is today's outfit post::
