I'm happy to announce that I have left my study bubble and entered the real world again! Today, out of habit, I went straight to the library to study after class...only to realize that I don't have much to study for. So, for no reason, I spent four hours in the library drinking coffee, editing photos from my sorority date party, going on Facebook, and working on my study abroad application...and it was amazing. What would have been even more amazing is me not actually being in the library, but lets take it one step at a time.

Surprisingly, I wore this outfit on the one day I decided to wear "real" clothes in the midst of my study frenzy. And I only wore it because this sweater, scarf, and maxi skirt feel like loose and cozy pajamas when I'm wearing them all together. (Here's another maxi styling for you, Jenn!)

I would also like to thank my photographer/bff for graciously offering to take my pictures for this post. As much as I love my tripod, smiling at an actual person once in a while makes me feel a little less crazy...

Simple Mix

What I'm Wearing:

Top: Anthropologie "Blazing Blouse"

Cardigan: Forever 21

Skinny Jeans: Cotton On

Boots: Nordstrom Brass Plum

I feel like this outfit has the perfect mix of prints and simplicity. When I bought this silk top over the summer, I wasn't really sure how to creatively style it. The last time I wore it, I just paired it alone with jeans...and although the print can stand on its own, it felt a little too simple for me. However, I feel like this tan striped cardigan is the perfect fit for it. 

Sometimes, there's nothing better than a simple, classic outfit with a little twist.

Cozy

What I'm Wearing:

Tank: Anthropologie "Serigraph Tank"

Cardigan: Nordstrom BP 

Jeans: Citizens of Humanity Dita Bootcut via Buffalo Exchange

Scarf: Urban Outfitters (here)

Flats: Steve Madden

I wore this on the one day it decided to be less than 70 degrees in LA, and I loved it. Too bad I got my hopes up the following day, bundled up, and then realized it was a typical summer October day in Southern California. As much as I love LA weather, sometimes its nice to be able to walk to class and not be dripping in sweat once I get there. Yes...I'm the girl you sit next to in lecture who, instead of taking notes, is blotting her face while the professor is talking.

Anyways, I'm writing this post in the library as a break from my midterm studying. And by "studying" I mean, I walked to the library...went on Facebook...got coffee...opened my class notes...and then decided to blog. Now, as much as I would love to continue this post, sociological research methods await me...and I can't keep them waiting for too much longer...
