Oh, the butterfly shirt! I've had plenty of issues in the past with this top (mainly because the colors reminded me of Halloween a bit too much), but I didn't want to give it away as it was part of my high school graduation present from my mom (yup, it's pretty old). Of all the meh-ish things I own, this is probably the one shirt I would have never expected to warm up to, but it's quite a nice color and fit. Loved the combination with my OP jeans from Walmart, of all places. These are pretty old as well. My dad got them for about $3 back in the day when Walmart wasn't considering itself a higher end retailer and matching its prices with the mall.

Aaaaanyway, just wanted to share my summery but somewhat Halloween-reminding look with all of you. As usual, I'm super duper grateful you decided to stop by!

Well, it's definitely been a while since I've come around these parts of the internet, and I'm beyond glad to be back! These past few weeks have been incredibly stressful, with finals, and the thought of having to go back home for an entire month, and just a whole bunch of stuff, including a lack of motivation to dress as I normally would. Sadly, I can now say I am a college student. I have entered the sweatshirt/pajama pants/sweatpants community. I promise I still try to make it look fashionable, but it has definitely been a bit scary for me. No matter though! I am now back, and, with a month-long winter break ahead of me, you are definitely going to be seeing a lot more of this girl around the blogosphere :)

Today was my second day back, and I went shopping with my parents. The outcome was severely disappointing, as I only purchased one item (sequin skirt for about $5 at Wet Seal...I'd call it a good deal, yes), but there's bound to be more shopping trips throughout the month, so I'm not too worried.

Meanwhile, I leave you with my first winter outfit in ages! I purchased this faux fur leopard print jacket last year for about $10 at Rue 21, and it has always seemed a bit too daring for my taste. Today, however, I took a chance and decided to keep everything else relatively neutral. I still wanted a pop of color, present here in the form of my newly purchased Charlotte Russe cowboy booties (Cyber Monday steal!!!). Overall, I'm pretty happy with the way this look turned out. It was comfy and cozy and great for the cold weather without being too puffy.

Stay tuned! There will definitely be more to come soon :)

Thank you for stopping by!
