Homecoming... My sweet mistake...

It is officially FALL. You know how I know? No, it's not the falling leaves (there aren't falling in Georgia yet), it's not the cold (I'm a born New Yorker, the worst is around 69 as a high), it's not the lonely tweets on Twitter (for some reason, most people in the US get lonely when the weather turns cold and such is the birth of "cuffin season" and they use Twitter to express it), nor is it the fact that everybody is starting to bundle up. Want to know how I know it's officially fall?

It's because it's HOMECOMING WEEK!

 For all who don't know what that is, Homecoming is a huge event in high schools and colleges, built around the football games. This is the week when everyone chooses to show their school spirit and there are themed days meant to express your school spirit. Monday's theme was TWIN day and although I didn't completely adhere to the rules (I was a triplet!), I think I showed my school spirit really well. My good friend decided that the twin code was a white blouse, black pencil skirt and black heels. I had to improvise, not having a black pencil skirt, due to my ferocious hate for skirts in general. Using a old dress, I folded it in half and was really surprised to see that it worked out well. But, I hope to have looks for the rest of the week for you guys, as everyday a new challenge is presented... And I plan to meet them with style...

P.S. The pictures are limited because my camera continually died on me as I was taking them... I think I got all the good ones. But YOU guys JUDGE! Comment below and tell me what you think!

Autumn is coming...

I look so mean...

Close up of the coat

It's coming quick. Fall, I mean. Summer is running away and we can't capture it. I miss it. :( But, now that it's fall. Autumn, such a beautiful time. Leaves falling, beautiful scenery to look at. I've had to adjust my wardrobe into fall mode, a change I don't mind, but I do wish that it was summer still. Possibly because of the amazing summer I had. But that's another story and another post. I digress. This outfit was based largely on the jacket. It's actually my brother's, but he was trying to give it away so I rescued it from the pile and made it my own. I had to belt it to get it to fit, but other than that, it's a really good jacket (although I am taking it to the tailor to get more fitted in the waist). I wore it with a thermal, my skinny cargos, and gold kicks.
P.S. I looked really mean in the majority of these pictures and it was truly hard to choose pictures. So that's why there's so little.

Introducing... DORIS!!!

 Today is the most exciting day of the year! It's the start of NYFW!!!! Unfortunately, I'm not there to celebrate FNO (which makes me REALLY REALLY REALLY sad) but... I CAN find ways to celebrate on my own, like today's outfit. This outfit is centered around my amazing hat that I love so much, I had to name it. Her name is Doris Audrey Marilyn, named for the old time feel I get when I wear "her", if you wondered. But anyways, the hat was a HUGE hit. Every time I turned around, someone was complimenting it and/or trying it on... including the guys (I even think my sociology teacher tried it own... Although he denies it vehemently). And Doris could go without some other classic pieces, so I paired it with a peacoat and my flats (that I'm starting to notice, I wear too often).

Oh and I don't know if you guys noticed, but this is my first time shooting in black and white. I think I did really well. But you tell me! How did I do? Do you like the photos? Leave a comment and tell me!

Turban Love

Absolute favorite shot of the day!

I don't know if you guys noticed but I was having a really good picture day!

School is starting to heat up... The assignments have begun to pour in... Albeit slowly, but you can definitely feel the feeling of a carefree summer slipping through our fingertips... But I digress. It's time to shape our futures and I have to play Michelangelo... This outfit was an attempt to look professional in the hot weather and I think I did a pretty good job, under the circumstances. The turban is something I threw on for trend busting purposes. I'm officially sold!!! This location in my pictures isn't new, it's the lawn of my backyard. I was eaten ALIVE by the bugs and my neighbor's dogs were oddly interested. But anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed, Leave a comment and let me know!

Love,

Dream.

Class is IN SESSION!

Such a short summer break to me, but in order to move on we have to do things we don't want to do. Like go back to school. We're a week in so far and I'm hoping that it shapes up to me a very successful semester... Grades and fashion wise. But anyways, back to the school outfit. This is something that reminds me of my city adventures, definitely something I'd wear in NYC. The outfit is my very trusty blazer, a striped shirt from Old Navy, Shorts from GAP and my very old scuffed up trusty flats. Alright, hope you all enjoyed! Leave a comment and let me know what you think! Thanks!

Crown And Glory

Hey! I know it's been a while, but I'm here!!!

So today, I dressed up. I usually don't (Jeans and a Tshirt are my usual comfort zone). But today, I'm battling a cold and feel absolutely horrible. So I wanted to feel really pretty to make up for my current state of health. So, I put on a skirt, tee shirt and Blazer, with really pretty flats. I got a lot of compliments about it (yay!!!!) and a whole lot of questions. Especially from my mom. "Where are you going? To school!?! You look like you're going on a date!!!" I mean, the cold and coughing fits didn't make my day easy, but at least I did it in style. :)

Blazer: Target

T- Shirt: Old Navy

Jersey Skirt: H&M

Flats: (Not Shown) Charlotte Russe

Headband: Aldo

I love the tree in the background... Isn't fall beautiful???

1 Dress, 5 WAYS!!!!

(The Dress)

In this recession, it's not very wise to be spend money on a million different dresses. Why not find one versatile dress and accesorize it to look different everytime? I took up this challenge with a regular dress I bought at Macy's. I pretty much accesorized it with different jackets and belts...

Next, I added a purple cropped bomber jacket. The purple draws the eye up and the cut of the jacket should make an hourglass shape and create a slim waist...

For an edgier look, I put on a black blazer over the dress and tied a white belt to bring the eye to the waist.

For a preppier polished look, I added a blouse to the mix and tied a ribbon to keep it from being plain...

I kept the top buttons unbuttons to make the pretty ruffles peek out and then tied it below the waist.

Last look...

I used my navy military jacket and tied it with the same with white belt, used in the blazer look. The jacket gave the dress a tougher feel and made it more casual...

Looks amazingly adorable, right? One of my favorite looks with the dress.

I also tried the dress out with a glittery belt on the blazer and military jacket... I decided that it would be a little too much to wear casually... But for a night out, it would be so cute...

and . Needless to say, it looked super cute with the miltary jacket because it was a great combination. But it did make the blazer more polished and refined.

Remember everything can look a different way, if you pair it with the right things. Good luck, my pretties!!!
