The Vest

Originally, I was just going to wear my peplum top and black jeans to work, but I decided to throw on my vest at the last minute. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like this denim vest makes all my outfits a bit edgier. I also like that it made my simple feminine outfit a little more trendy.

P.S. TGIF! Even though I have a weekend of studying ahead, I've also got big plans to bake muffins and go to brunch as many times as possible (aka twice)...which in my book are plans worth looking forward to.

Ivy Leaguer

Even though this week is filled with studying, papers, and finals, I decided to get a little dressed up before I lose all my willpower to wear normal clothes and only run around in my bright yellow sweatpants (that I happen to be wearing while typing this post...). I didn't notice while we were taking these photos, but it looks like ivy in the background matches the design of my cardigan. Maybe it's also a "symbolic" sign that I should be buckling down and studying like an Ivy Leaguer...ha ha okay bad joke. 

Anyway, this is one of my favorite cardigans, but I feel like I never get a chance to wear it. The ribbon design is so whimsical that it can be a little hard to match, but I think it worked well with my cream lace top. I like the idea of mixing different textures, but keeping the color scheme fairly neutral so that the outfit doesn't have too much going on at once. 

P.S. This is officially my 300th blog post! It's crazy to me...it feels like I started this little blog just yesterday!

Signs of Spring

The flowers outside my apartment complex are in full bloom, and it is really starting to feel like spring. This weekend the weather in LA was perfect, which is such a shame because I was stuck inside for most of it studying for finals. However, I was able to get out in the sunshine for a couple hours on Saturday when Andrew and I got lunch at this cute new ramen place nearby. I decided to wear my go-to striped dress, which I dressed up with my pastel statement necklace for a little pop of color.

Fingers crossed that this gorgeous weather stays until spring break!
