This is Something Bigger Than Us and Beyond Bliss

Tell me something I need to know
Then take my breath and never let it go
If you just let me invade your space
I’ll take the pleasure, take it with the pain

My first outfit post from my trip to South Africa! I wore this on our first night out to a burger joint in the upscale Randburg neighborhood of Johannesburg. The airy temperatures are my perfect dream; sunny days lending way to chilly nights that require a light jacket for layering. I think I’m learning that I was born for a mediterranean climate…and I’m dreading heading back to the states for “sprinter”. Until then, this is the first of many looks coming to you full of sun-drenched looks to help us into the coming season.

I’m So Fancy, You Already Know

First thing first I’m the realest
Drop this and let the whole world feel itSo many new things in these photos; the beau and I got a new bar for the home, needless to say our friends love coming over even more now. This tank, which I’m having a GIVEAWAY for, is from ByLucianaM, who has amazing cheeky tees and tanks like this one! I love that, on such a beautiful day of enjoying quality time with friends I was able to rock  a statement of “get off the internet”. Also new, this CheapMonday skirt from ShopCalico! I bought it for my upcoming trip to Mexico, but with the temperate weather this past weekend I needed to break it out early. While these sunglasses are older, as the weather picks up I’ve been on the hunt for new sunglasses and one of the greatest resources I’ve found is this face shape resource from BonLook. It’s a great way to figure out which styles will look best on my rounded face shape! With all these fancy new things and the weather, the man and I opened the windows, made some cocktails, and sat outside to drink and soak up some much needed vitamin D!

Fall Uniform

I’ve legitimately already worn this outfit three times. Begging my roommate to take photos of it and he always refused, so I’d wear it again. Why not? It’s cute, comfortable, warm…It’s my perfect fall uniform! So, in lieu of football being on ALL day, I was able to strike a deal in exchange of photos for the television rights.

Say What? tunic sweater

DIY skirt I made in High School

H&M Jacket

Target Over The Knee knit socks

Aldo boots (old)

R&Em gifted bag

I made this skirt, and a matching vest, straight out of high school. I have never attended a private school but I sometimes ponder how things would have played out differently if I had. Would it have hindered my sartorial experimentation, or would it have challenged me and forced me to hone in on proper accessorizing?

In present times, though, my only problem is that I’m not currently in school. I miss education, learning, and challenging myself with projects and my high aspirations for good grades. Who knows, hopefully I can go back to school someday but for now I’ll keep wearing my burgundy plaid skirt and working my dream in the fashion industry.
