anyone for a springtime tea party?

Hey there, lovely people who might have noticed our recent lack of posts. Remember that ugly time at the end of every college semester when every student has tons of work/papers/exams, all sorts of final events are happening, and (consequently) everyone is cranky? Add the fact that many of our dearest friends (and us too) are trying finalize post-graduation plans and that my dance show is tonight and tomorrow so I have been practically living in the theatre this week. It's a little crazy, to say the least.

Needless to say, my outfits haven't felt very "blog-able" this week, and I haven't had time to take pictures anyway. I did just discover this beautiful Etsy site full of flower-y things that I would love to wear to spring tea party or wedding! (Anyone want to host?)

just a sunny, spring day

It's always sunny on Thursday this spring. I'm serious - I give campus tours on Thursday and it hasn't rained once. These pictures are from last Thursday when it was gorgeous and it was supposed to thunderstorm today, but its a perfect spring day again:-)

Now put your sandals on and go outside!

fun, sun, and spreeeee!

Our school has this one fabulous day every year where they surprise everyone, cancel classes, and have a mini-carnival, music and free food on the green. In reality everyone knows ahead of time, but it is still a delightful "Spree Day" with our favorite people!

Happy Tuesday everyone:-)

blue jean baby

This is what happens when my roommate Anna (who has made guest appearances before) takes my picture. I laugh! And cause the picture to be out of focus. But Anna's a great photographer, so I even like a blurry shot.

Anna's also a great roommate because I can borrow scarves from her! The above scarf is hers. And it's gorgeous. And I wanna steal it! But I won't. That outfit is what I wore on Friday to a party for Clark's photo department at my professor's house. It was casual, but not too casual and cold, but not too cold. Jeans were my solution.

And guess what?

I love these jeans! They are from target and pretty perfect. So I wore them again today. And Anna took my picture again, causing me to be really silly again. I feel kind of like a cowgirl in this shirt, thus the pigtails.

Have a great week everyone!

if i keep posting spring-y pictures, will it stay warm?

These pictures are from another spring-y, warm, sunny day. It's supposed to rain this weekend and I just want it to be spring forever...

I give tours of my school and a mother left a comment that I was "well-groomed and articulate." 

Too bad she didn't tell me directly, so I could direct her to this blog!

This is my "erm, I guess crouching under the trees would end up with trees in my hair..." face.

Also, we have some new lovely followers, thanks!

i wish it was this warm again

This is what I wore for Easter - I know, I'm far behind in posting. It was a gorgeous day and I want it to be that warm again!

Enjoy your Tuesday!

spring is so fickle

Happy Spring! Bloggers everywhere are delighting in the onslaught of warmer weather and blossoming trees, and we are no exception. Last Wednesday (when we took these, which seems like a million years ago) temperatures reached the high 80s here! It was just a little ridiculous, but welcomed nonetheless.

Sasha and I both had inexpensive bag success last weekend too! She got this amazing, real-leather, handmade in Spain tote at the Salvation army, and I got this light teal faux leather cutie at Forever 21. And they look so nice together, don't they?

It's back down to the 50s and 60s, but spring is still here, and we just love it. Tuesday is Spree Day, a big event at our college where everyone takes the day off to play in the sunshine. Can't wait!!

belated

Last week was Sasha's 22nd birthday! So on Friday night we went out for drinks at this place Dive Bar, mostly because it has a great terrace area, so we could sit outside and avoid all the usual too-loud problems of talking in a bar. Plus, we found this great red wall to pose with!

Sasha looks so classy and gorgeous with her thrifted white pumps! I am a little jealous of them.

And I broke out my patterned Forever 21 skirt for the millionth time because it's so comfy and cute. Also, this ring from Target that I forgot I had was a nice girly touch with my pink nails.

It was a great night, though kind of cold by the end. Luckily there was a hot dog cart right outside the bar to warm us and satiate our late night hunger.

Happy Birthday Sasha!

almost-old outfit photos

As promised, I have been taking a few outfit photos in the past couple of overly busy weeks. Here's a couple of styles I wore:

The gramma sweater, favorite vintage belt, and rainboots return. 

New, cheap Old Navy dress - I wanted something comfy, casual, and long enough to wear anywhere.

It's kind of a sack, but I think it's a nice sack.

This is the beautiful necklace my sister gave me for my birthday! 

glasses!

So I'm not exactly sure what The Girls With Glasses are all about, but The Clothes Horse posted this video and I am in love! Possibly too cute. And as a girl with glasses myself, I appreciate them just a little bit more.

ALSO, there are outfit posts to be made once Sasha has a moment to breathe.
