Shoe Must Have + 2 Looks

Shoe Must have for School!!

Chuck Taylors are sooo versatile, you can wear them with skirts, dresses, jeans, shorts, pretty much anything, you want, and it will definitely dress down your outfit! These are definitely a must have for me because they literally go with everything in my closet. (I like wearing converse with knee high socks, kind of gives them a school girl look). But If you are buying your first pair I would definitely go with a more neutral color like white or black! Here is how I would style chucks for school!


 
 
 
 

 
 
 














 
1st look
White crop top, slight harem pant/trouser and white chucks, this look is very simple and is easy to throw on for class or running errands. I choose the slight harem style sweatpants to get away from your just average sweatpants. (you can add more colorful jewelry to make this outfit a little bit brighter!)
2nd look
Option A: A tight fitting tiger dress or any animal of your choice, and white chucks. The chucks will really dress down this look and the dress is a bit more edgy! I would add a camouflage  jacket also to the look for those of you who are uncomfortable with sleeveless dresses!
Option B: Floral print cut out dress, white chucks. This dress just has girly written all over it and at first glance you would probably want to wear it with heals or strappy sandals. but by pairing it with chucks, this can be easily made into a cute school outfit you can even dress it down further by adding an oversized slouchy cardigan!

DIY: Maxi Cardigan (no sew)

So I was thinking of buying a maxi cardigan online, but then I came up with an idea!!!
Instead of paying $30 for a maxi cardigan, I could just Do it myself!




So here's the idea in 2 easy steps!
  1. Go to the thrift store and try to find a maxi dress with sleeves or find an old maxi dress with sleeves in your closet!
  2. Then when you get home simply cut straight down the middle, and that's it!

I am going to try it later, when I have more funds , but if you want to go ahead and try it send me a picture so, I can see how yours turned out!( jessdoit412@gmail.com is my e-mail)

Nails, Roomspiration, Outfits

I tried to pant my nails, so I could have fresh nails for tomorrow, but of course it was a FAIL. And of course I smashed my fingers into my desk (accidently) and messed up not 1 hand but both hands!! (Don't ask me how, I'm still trying to figure that out).  I give up! But onto more exciting things!! I move in to my apartment tomorrow, well hopefully (they are still trying to find me a room). And even more exciting news, I will try to get my road dog(BFF) to take pictures of what I wore for the first 3 days of school :) and maybe even the weekend. We start on the 28th!
 
 
Here are some DIY ideas that I was thinking about doing for my room. What do you think?





 
The last picture is just what I would like my apartment to look like, but of course I only have one small room to work with, plus the living room, but I have to bounce ideas off of 3 others girls!

Back To School Outfit Idea

So Here is an idea of  what I would wear (if I had these items in my closet)  for the first day of school!



 This outfit is quick and easy! I know on the first day of school I would not want to stress over my outfit, I want to be worried about other things, so that's why I choose 3 pieces for this outfit. And Since I always think of hairstyle to go with outfits (Is that weird), I would probably wear my hair bone straight with a middle part. :)

New School

 UPDATE!!!!
I got some exciting news yesterday! I was accepted into my college that I should've gone to Freshmen year. Sooooooo with that being said I will be moving into an apartment, instead of living in a dorm. Unfortunately I already bought my sheets and stuff for my dorm(twin size) and I have no idea where my receipts are!!! But I don't even care I am so excited to start my new journey at this new school!

Confessions of a College Girl









If I had back to school clothes money(and didn't have other more important things I needed to get), this is probably what I would've bought!

  • Jersey dress: Yasssss
  • High Waisted Skinny Jeans: Distressed or  Ripped or Bleached Idc idc idc I just want them. I have been looking for some (reasonable price) for forever! I can't even find plain ones in thrift stores! They will go great with my growing crop top collection!
  • White Platform Converse: I have been wanting these since last year, and I think they will work very well in my closet
  • Name Necklace: Okay seriously I have been asking for one of these since sophomore year in high school. I think this would be a great everyday necklace. (My name is Jessica by the way ;)
  • White spiked loafers: I think white is my favorite color at the moment... (it changes daily) I love loafers in general and I really want some all white flats that can be dressed up or down
  • Zara Heels: I don't have a name for these beautiful creations, but I have really been enjoying seeing them styled. I think they are classy and are a must have for me. I literally don't own any heels but I want these to be my first ones!
  • "You can't sit with us" crop top: Yes a crop top, what's new? But this isn't just any crop top it has a quote from a movie that I along with millions of other girls are obsessed with. That is all
  • Matchy Matchy crop top and shorts set: I really want to make my own from a thrifted dress!
  • Printed Blazer: I just really want a blazer and I didn't want a boring black one. I saw a floral one in Sears(don't schleeep on Sears) the other day and fell in love with the blazer and fell out of love with the price. ($15.99) That's not that expensive I just didn't have it :(

Now I'm going to get on YouTube and go watch all of the depressing back to school hauls and reflect on life...

School Supplies in College

For College you definitely don't have to go out and buy the things you needed in high school. You really only need the bare minimum, although some classes might require a little more, these are the necessities!!


PLANNER - to me a planner is very necessary, just to keep you organized and on track!
NOTEBOOKS - I suggest 1 spiral notebook for each class( different colors so you can distinguish different classes)
LOOSE LEAF PAPER- Just in case you have to do a quiz or a quick assignment!
PENS/PENCILS/HIGHLIGHTERS- something to write your notes with, and just in case you have to write an in class assignment, pencils are pretty much only used for math class, and highlighters are for notes! For the most part you are going to be typing everything
NOTE CARDS- to help you study! (these things will save your life! Especially in language classes!!!!)

Optional:
LAPTOP/PRINTER- Most colleges if not all have libraries, so a laptop is optional, in case you don't want to use the library or if its closed! ( I have a Lenovo and it works great!)
BACKPACK/TOTE BAG- Depending on how many classes you are taking, and how many books you have, you can avoid buying this. I however recommend getting one just in case, I know on my campus everybody used a backpack or a big purse/tote bag

Tip: If you don't want to buy a USB Port just e-mail your papers or assignments to yourself! :)

Here is my backpack :)

Grown And Sexy! (Goals)

MY GOALS FOR THIS SEMESTER!
  • Make all A's this semester.( I haven't made an A since my freshmen year!)
  • Be more independent
  • Learn how to drive (very necessary)
  • Save between $1500- $2000 to buy my first car! (by November at the latest December)
  • Work on getting an apartment
  • Learn Time Management/Get organized (procrastinator)
  • Have a Budget (most of my money goes to food)

Hey guys so these are my goals for this semester! I call this the "Grown And Sexy" list because apart of being grown is being more independent. Having your own things so you won't have to rely on others is such a great feeling, and plus it's time for me to start stepping up and doing things on my own. Now to me Sexy = intelligence , which ties in with my first goal. In order to get a 4.0 this semester I have to really be dedicated, study my butt off, and buy tons of notecards. I am going to have a positive attitude and work above and beyond to reach ALL of my goals.(Also adding prayer into that)
