Ever since I purchased this denim jacket at my local thrift store, I knew that it would eventually have its moment- it was just a matter of when. At least two years have passed since it's been laying around in my closet, constantly avoided in favor of newly bought girly silhouette coats and blazers. This winter, however, it's been one of my go-to's. I love its effortlessly 90's vibe and the vintage edge it brings to my style.

Lately I've been trying to pinpoint what my outfit choices are becoming, and I've come to the conclusion that my style is leaning towards girly with a dash of edge. I'm always into pink, and purple, and brights in general, but I enjoy accessorizing with studs, massive hats, and 90's denim. That being said, I have been toying with the idea of changing the name of my blog to something that better represents my niche. So, pretty soon, I believe you'll have a revamped blog going by the name of "Curvy with a Dash of Edge". I will explain my choice later on in the week, as I decide whether I truly want to change the blog's name. Until then, however, I leave you with this comfy, casual, girly-edgy outfit.

To be honest, the first bit of feedback I received on this outfit was "It looks like you're pregnant." BUT, on the bright side, the unfortunate comment was made by my dad, so I didn't feel as bad about it- he's not necessarily the most style-oriented guy. 

Sure, the blouse is a bit loose, but the breezy, comfy look is one of my go-to's for those days when there's social commitments, but no desire to go out in the world. It's comfortable, looks put together, and doesn't require much effort. The outfit itself is plain and relies on color scheme for cohesiveness, but the accessories give it a pop. I'm normally not an advocate for big on big jewelry, but the chunky necklace and massive earrings didn't interfere with each other's beauty. The hat is one of my prized possessions. I love the camo flower accent!

I've realized I'm not that much of a risk-taker in college when it comes to my outfits, and well, my plans for the summer are to be a bit more stand off-ish, if you will. For now, I'm sticking to a point that my Fundamentals of Fashion professor made: I'm on a college campus, so I don't want to stand out as a 'fashion victim'. And it's true. I see girls walking around in heels-- not wedges, but full on heels, and more sparkle than my poor eyes can handle and I can't help but stare. I guess there's an appropriate time to wear those things, but a Southern New Mexico college campus is just not the place. I hope my little rant isn't too offensive.

For the longest time, I've been wanting to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers in concert. Over the summer, I was in Romania for 2.5 months, and the Chili Peppers had a concert there...basically 2 weeks after I left. 

In April, I will be heading out to Cali to spend my one year anniversary with my boyfriend. It just so happens that during the weekend that I'm there, exactly ON our anniversary, Red Hot Chili Peppers will be playing at Coachella....and I still don't get to go. Sadly, they don't sell one day passes and I can't afford to pay over $300 for a weekend pass. Poor college student budget, anyone?

Anyway, I found out about Coachella this week, and it put me in a very depressing-slash-wearing-my-RHCP-shirt-more-times-than-I-actually-should mood. I tried to dress it up a tiny bit, and here is the result:

Hopefully at some point in time, the universe will decide to be on my side and give me the opportunity to see the RHCP in concert. Until then, I'll just wear this shirt many'a times.

Thank you so much for stopping by! :)

I've never been incredibly creative with my winter attire, usually sticking to a sweater, jeans and a jacket. This year, however, I've been trying to mix it up and go easy on the jeans. Leggings have been my go-to's for a while now, but I don't want to be stuck in that rut either. My goal is to have a healthy mix of jeans, leggings, other types of pants, and of course, skirts. For this outfit, I just wanted something comfortable and cute that I could wear and not freeze to death in (this is a difficult goal for me. I get cold incredibly easy). The sweater dress is something I have owned for a while, but never worn. I like the color, the big star on it, the texture, but I was never a fan of the silhouette of it. Now, let's just say the power of belts never ceases to amaze me.

Another thing I have been trying to do is incorporate more bright colors into my outfits. I've never been a daredevil when it comes to color (well... okay, at some point in time I looked like the 80's vomited all over me, but I'd like to forget that), so I've been trying to slowly, but surely integrate color into my outfits. For those of you who are more on the shy side, accessories are definitely the way to work that pop of color, especially bags! New York and Co. has some great ones, and TJ Maxx always brings in beautifully colored Steve Madden bags. They're a bit more expensive for my budget (most are about $40), but that's just because I'm a poor college student. I'm sure many middle class American women would not feel as bad as I would after purchasing one of those bags.
