25 Days of Outfits: Day 5

Sweater- Express

Pants- Old Navy

Shoes- JCPenney

Necklace- Thrifted

You know that book "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day"? Yeah, that was today. Not only was it 3 DEGREES when I had to go to class this morning, but I had to spend an extra 2 hours in my sewing lab to finish my project on time. I spilled coffee on the original black pants I had with this outfit (not leggings), and the lighting in my room wouldn't work out since it was so overcast so I had to resort to using a flash since I haven't plucked up the courage to go outside and use my tripod on campus yet. The night is winding down with a movie, avocado chicken, and cookies (not together, mind you) so hopefully things won't end on a bad note. Stay warm!

25 Days of Outfits: Day 4

Top- Express

Disco Pants- American Apparel

Shoes- Vans

Sweater- Charlotte Russe

Necklace- Thrifted

There isn't a ton to say about this outfit other than a) I feel like a crossover of Sporty Spice and Sabrina the Teenage Witch and b) please excuse my massive under eye circles. It is the last week before finals after all.

25 Days of Outfits: Day 2

Top- Express

Leggings- American Apparel

Boots- Wanted

Watch- Express

Bracelet- American Eagle

Remember those lazy day outfits I said you'd be seeing? Yeah, this is one of them. Two days in and I'm already showing the dark side! But really, there was nothing to get dressed up for. I had one class at 9 am and then the rest of the day was spent re-organizing my room post-Thanksgiving break and working on projects that are due this week. I bet not one of you can tell me that tights and a skirt are more comfortable for that than leggings and an oversized t-shirt. 

I must admit that I also just wanted an excuse to wear my new watch. *drools* This beautiful rose gold watch was a birthday present (along with some gourmet coffee and my favorite candy) from my wonderful boyfriend. I think I'll keep him a little longer ;)

So now we're back on track! Day 3, here we come.

Express Yourself

Because I am sure absolutely no one at the Express marketing department has every come up with this tagline, I thought I would offer up my services (I'm still looking for a job, and there are more gems where this came from, Express people).

Cheetah Sequined Sweatshirt

Gold Sequined Skirt

Faux Fur Lined Parka

Faux Leather Circle Skirt

Faux Leather Moto Jacket

"I Hate Running" Sweatshirt

Over the weekend, I happened to find myself in the money hole that is Express. Literally, I could spend $500 without blinking in that place. Something about the sophisticated lines and textures that still take trends and current fashions into account just draw me in like a moth to a flame and I'm done for. Particularly during the holiday season, Express pulls me in with their sequined dresses and metallic skirts just begging to be worn to a Christmas cocktail party (if only I knew people who threw Christmas cocktail parties). 

These 6 items were at the top of my "I wish I had money for this list" while I window-shopped, so I thought I'd spread the love in case anyone is looking for present ideas for loved ones or needs some inspiration for their own holiday wishlist.
