Slacking

Ever since I've gotten to college, I have felt a lack of my usual need to dress to the nines, keeping on trend while being classic at the same time. Although I have never once worn sweat pants to class, much less pajamas, I don't really try like I used to. Every day I wear jeans, I haven't worn a skirt all winter. Well I wore one once, for my boyfriend's and my "anniversary" of 8 months. That actually wasn't a bad outfit maybe I'll put it on and post it one of these days.

I strayed away from the world of fashion. And I feel disappointed in myself. So I've decided to not let myself slide by with simply skinnies, riding boots and a cardigan anymore. What happened to the high school me? I did not get voted best dressed of my class for blending in.

The only interesting new additions are:

Marc by Marc Jacobs Daisy Cut-out earrings

My favorite Christmas gift from myself. Oh Marc. How I love you.

Speaking of Marc. I'm on the fence about the MBMJ Fall 2011 show. I just. Cannot. Pull of skirts that hit past the knee. I'm too short and my calves aren't skinny like his models, they're quite large, partly from dance, partly from the good ol' freshman one five. And, I dont like pants. Just another thing I can't pull off. Plenty of people can pull off those skirts and pants, and I like them fine on other people, but my tastes in fashion are based on what looks good on me and what I would like to wear. I just, really like dressing myself. Is that so bad?

However, I am undyingly faithful to Marc and his work, and I will definitely be looking forward to the bags. He really can do no wrong in the arena of purses.

Concierto

Today I'm going to my very first concert without parents. General admission too, I've only ever sat in seats. Woo! I'm pretty excited even though its a band I haven't heard of until my friends mentioned an interest in attending this particular concert. Hinder. They sing "Lips of an Angel" which I clearly remember dancing to at my eight grade spring dance with a super cute boy. Anyway, here's what I'm wearing

(heres what the Shirt looks like, image found on shopbop.com)

Shirt- BB Dakota that I ordered from shopbop. Shopbop is a lifesaver at college since I can't go out to shop as much as I used to

Boots- American Eagle. Last year. I love them to death.

The only bad part about attending this concert is that I will be unable to view the live streaming of Marc Jacobs runway show =[ its really a shame. But not to worry I'll have a friend recap it for me.

Happy Fashion Week! And Valentines Day!
