This afternoon, i decided to utilize my tripod in attempt to take photos of what i wore today.  People always recommend i do more outfit of the days & since i picked up a few items when i went shopping yesterday, i thought i'd share them.  Other than that, i've been feeling really uninspired on the fashion front lately!  I think it's the combination of school + not having much in my wardrobe to choose from.  Excuses, excuses i know, but it gets annoying wearing the same pair of jeggings & the same few tops every week!
Trying to save money for a trip over spring break but wanting to reinvent your entire wardrobe is hard.


01. This bag has to be one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe.  The neutral color makes it go with everything, but the fringe makes it fun & very me :).  Can i just say.. i love fringe.  Maybe it's the laid-back/cool feel that always takes me back to Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock 1969, but fringe is such now becoming a slight obsession of mine.  The cardigan is also a purchase from yesterday.  Of course when i go out in search for new shoes & tops, i come out with everything but.

02. I turned in my application yesterday at the thrift store.  Two of my friends (+ a lot of other people from my school work/have worked there) work there at the moment & urged me to apply there.  Sure that thrift store may be a dodgy place, but a job is a job & i need one!  Besides, i've discovered some pretty neat (lol, neat...) finds from thrift stores.  Also, the manager's cute.  That's always a plus ;)

03. I've officially decided i want to re-paint my room.  I think i've just outgrown the pink (even though we just painted it what, like two years ago?).  I'm thinking of going more neutral, in the cream/tan direction.  With a few artsy touches & decorations i think it'll look really nice.

04. We're about to get packed with snow over the next couple of days (where i live is way past due i guess!).  I don't want to jinx it, but i'm really hoping for at least one snow day this week.  Our city is pretty good at salting & clearing the roads - good thing if you have to be somewhere, bad thing if you want school to be cancelled - pretty quickly, but we'll see!  Hope you all had good starts to your weeks!
