Early Spring

Thursday was a surprisingly warm day, a welcome change from winter weather. Anna Lee, Sarah, Jocelyn, and I took advantage of the warmth with photos and cupcakes after Acting class!

Outfit Details

Green tee - Calypso Boutique

Flower skirt - Street Scene Vintage

Tan heels - Goodwill

Silver flower earrings - gifted

This is only the second chance I've had to wear this lovely skirt, but I'm sure it will be a staple in my wardrobe once Spring finally rolls around.

Goodwill has really come through for me when it comes to shoes!

Bricks and mortar

Sometimes I claim I'll have a post up in two days. Alas, I lied to you. 

Anna Lee and I truly intended to take photos every Tuesday/Thursday, but occasionally school gets in the way. Thursday had me in a panic about finding a monologue for acting, so we had to forgo outfit pictures. Hopefully that won't be a regular occurrence. But onto Tuesday's Outfit of the Day!

Outfit Details

Grey V-neck - Forever 21

Maroon corduroys - Ann Taylor

Moss cardigan - Oscar de la Renta via Goodwill

Copper flats - Goodwill

Silver coin earrings - gifted

Scarf - Forever 21

Here, have some outtakes.

And once again, I've taken to posting my looks on Lookbook. Spare a hype?

Second Semester

Hello there! It's been awhile.
As you can infer from the title, the second semester of my sophomore year has started. I've been back at school for a week and am still readjusting. Unfortunately, this semester contains quite a few business classes and barely any theatre and dance. I mean, I am pursuing a double major in international business, so I should get accustomed to business classes, but they are simply no fun! I truly don't understand how people want to work in business instead of be artists. But enough of my rambling...

I'll fill you in on the exciting last week or so of my break at some point, but in the meantime Anna Lee and I have resumed outfit photos! Today was miraculously warm, meaning I busted out the cat shorts while I could. Enjoy!

We lacked imagination in finding a shooting location today, so it was back to our trusty tree!

Outfit Details

Maroon beret - Vintage

Grey V-neck - DOTS

Cat shorts - Forever 21

Copper flats - Goodwill

Peter and the Starcatcher bracelet

I've been wearing my Peter and the Starcatcher bracelet nonstop. It's a little reminder of what I'm working for. It keeps me going through all those boring business classes!

We're aiming to take photos every Tuesday and Thursday, so expect more posts from me in the future! Also, I've taken to posting my outfits on lookbook occasionally, so if you could spare a hype it would be much appreciated!

Game Changer

Outfit Details

Virginia Tech Hokies Tee - gift

Leather skirt - Forever 21

Spent the day taking headshots and getting coffee with friends. It was nice to have a chance to be behind the camera, even if they were just simple shots. I still have so much to learn about photography and I love to have a chance to experiment...hopefully we got a few useful shots! Now it's off to see Ballroom with a Twist at the Lexington Opera House. Excited to see some beautiful dancing!

I Believe in Nargles

First snowfall of the season today! Alas, no pictures, but now it truly feels like December. Yet I was in much more of a Spring mood, so I threw on a few Goodwill goodies from the other day.

I received this charming button from my Final Battle Secret Santa today. I'm a huge Harry Potter nerd, so this was perfect!

And surprise, it matched my outfit! What luck!

Outfit Details:

Dress - H&M
Sweater - Oscar de la Renta

Tights - Target

Socks - Hue

Boots - Goodwill

One thing you can't tell just by looking is how much fun it is to twirl in this dress! So here, have a GIF. 

I spent a fair amount of the day spinning and dancing around to Ben Sollee and Broken Fences. It was a nice change from the Christmas music I've been listening to 24/7.

I've really had some great luck at Goodwill the past few trips. These boots remind me ever so slightly of Natalie Suarez's JETT Boots, which I'm in love with. 

Any fun thrift finds lately? xoxo

Home for the Holidays, Christmas Edition!

The semester has ended and I am home for the holidays!

The tree is up and I've been working on Christmas presents for the past few days! 

It really is such a wonderful time of year!

I came home to an advent angel on my door <3

Thanks to my friend Sarah for this beautiful ornament!

Today I had a Panera lunch date with two lovely ladies, Emma and Lucy! It was so great to see them and catch up on each other's lives. Can't wait to spend more time with friends over break.

In non-holiday specific news, I've been to Goodwill two days in a row now! And it really is amazing the things you find when you take the time to peruse the racks. Yesterday I found this khaki dress and some frames for Christmas gifts. Today I discovered an abundance of sweaters, including an Oscar de la Renta one! Such fun!

Oh, and have I mentioned that I'll be in New York City next week for Christmas? I'm so excited to spend the holidays in the city seeing Broadway shows and catching up with friends! And equally excited about the pictures I'll hopefully be taking.

Are you going anywhere exciting for the holidays? Safe travels if so! xoxo

Juries

Tomorrow is the dreaded jury. When I audition to be accepted into the BFA Musical Theatre program at my school. Dance call starts at 8:30am, so wish me luck!

My friends Jocelyn, Sarah, Anna Lee, and I have been practicing pretty much nonstop. Hopefully we're ready! 

Even after our 8am Fundamentals final we practiced! That is dedication!

And then we procrastinated with photos...

(Also I feel tall in this picture. And I LOVE IT.)

In a freezing studio.

Juries, juries, juries. AHHHH.

Outfit Details:

Leggings - Forever21

Sweater - Goodwill

Socks - Macy's

Scarf - gifted

More song practice. Singing "Show Me" from My Fair Lady and "How Are Things in Glocca Morra?" from Finian's Rainbow.

Hopefully juries will go well tomorrow, as well as my Accounting final, which I've barely studied for thanks to jury stress. Oh goodness, I cannot wait for finals week to be over. THREE MORE DAYS!
