Accessorize or DIE

Hello Suzies,

TWO IN A ROW.

If you didn't know, I go to a school where we are required to wear uniforms.  A white polo and khaki pants/shorts/skirts, those are our options -hard to decide, I know!  Let's get real, for someone like me who just loves to wear clothes and uses fashion as a creative outlet, it can feel a bit constricting at times.  The only thing I am left to work with is accessories, and boy do I work with them.  Fortunately, since my "base" is so neutral, I am pretty much free to create whatever look I choose.  Some of my go-tos are: preppy, cutesy, color block, and sporty.  Today I guess I went for the preppy look.

Bow- American Apperal

Pearl Earrings

Necklace- H&M

Baggy Sweater- American Eagle

Bracelet- 1D concert band

Watch- Urban Outfitters

Black Leather Belt
Loafers- Dolce Vita

LoveXO

p.s. I'm learning to use manual focus on my camera, please excuse my blurriness. ;)

   

The Sock Diaries: Chapter 1

Hello Suzies,

I introduce to you, the Sock Diaries.

I'm excited, but also a little antsy about this post.  I guess you could describe it as a lifestyle post.  I have never done one of these, but I feel like what it is about might help someone out there.  In this series, everyday I think I have something inspirational to say (because I'm such the philosopher) or something that I think might reach out to someone, I will take a picture of my socks; I will share my story while incorporating a touch of style.  Here it goes..

Where I go to school a uniform is required, so I try to find innovative ways to express myself through accessories.  Socks are one of my favorite things, love 'em.  I have collected numerous pairs of funky, bright, fancy socks throughout the years, so I guess you could say I have become pretty good with mix-matching socks, shoes, and jewelry.  But that is not nearly the point of this.

I started back at school on Wednesday, and I am usually extremely excited about going back, seeing new and familiar faces, and learning, actually.  This year it was different.  I woke up on Tuesday very nervous, with a knot in my stomach, school was tomorrow and in my mind, I was psyching myself out.  The latter part of my previous school year just seemed to be a whirlwind of disappointment.  By no means am I looking for pity, no, but it just seemed that nothing good or happy was happening.  I was in a rut, and that is how that year ended.  I guess the thought of school automatically filled my head with negativity. 

I walked into school on Wednesday morning with a couple of friends and was already feeling a little bit more positive.  The day began and the pros began to outrageously outweigh the cons.  Silence had been filled with laughter.  By the end of the day I was happy as a lark.  All along I had just been freaking myself out with nonsense.  If any of you ever feel this way, anxious or nervous or sad try to just breathe, things will come around, and you will be an even better person than before.     

Love XO

30 Day Snap | Day 20

 Hello Suzies,

Frenchie.

Since the seventh grade I have been studying the French language.  Entering middle school, students were given the choice on whether to take a French, Spanish, or Literature course.  I chose to take French.  I was one out of only ten people in my class.  I excelled in the subject and have taken it by choice ever since.  As a rising junior, or eleventh grader,  I have decided to continue studying French at the AP, or Advanced Placement, level.  There are approximately 120 students in my class and only two of us have decided to take AP French.  Our summer assignment is to read the book Kiffe Kiffe Demain.  That is what I've been doing today!  Gotta love summer work!

Love XO
