Pattern Mixin' and Country Livin'

I've been putting off posting this because, well, it's been a busy week, haha. Getting acclimated to this new town, new people, trying to make new friends..it gets exhausting! These photos seem so far away even though they were just three weeks ago..







Top- Forever21
Shorts- Thrifted
Necklace- Betsey Johnson
Shoes- JuJu

These pictures don't match the sizes of the rest of the blog and it's driving me insane! They weren't taken on my specific camera though, so I suppose I can't complain. I didn't come prepared! The day was spent out in the 'country' at my grandpa's house, and it was surprisingly peaceful. I didn't think being out in the fields with some horses and cloudless skies would appeal to me, but it was a nice break from being in the crowded suburbs and cities. A quick trip to the grocery store for some grilling food revealed that I'm not meant for this life permanently, though. I saw FAR too many sparkly butt jeans and angel wing t-shirts out in Missouri for my own tastes!

This was my first real attempt at pattern mixing, and looking at the pictures I think one of the prints needed to be a little larger. Maybe some thicker stripes with the small polka dots or some larger polka dots with the skinny stripes. I don't think it turned out too badly though. Do you have any trips for print mixing?

One for the money, two for the show

These shots were taken a couple weeks ago back when I still lived back "home"...that's right, I've made the big move! It was much busier and more stressful than I expected, but things have been going well. It's only been about 48 hours, so I don't want to speak too soon, but I think things will go well here :)












Top: Nordstrom
 Skirt: TJMax
Wallet: Banana Republic
Shoes: Thrifted
Watch: Vintage, Necklace: SheInside, Belt: Thrifted

I'm officially obsessed with this tank top. I wore in for move in day, lounging around, this day in the park, the first day I bought it...people probably think I don't own very many shirts...oops. It's perfect for pairing with a maxi skirt like I did for a day at the St. Louis Art Museum with Trinity.

These are likely to be the last pictures that are cohearant for a while. I still haven't quite figured out where I can take pictures while I'm here at school without people thinking I'm a weirdo...haha any suggestions?

30 Day Snap: Day 7


My life has essentially become one giant suitcase..or my life is in a suitcase..at this point my brain is too mushed up with stress and confusion to really tell. Wish me luck. Hopefully this week is over soon (although it's only Monday...)
