Three ways to wear: shorts and a t-shirt

Also see: how to wear the same thing every day and have it be socially acceptable.

Basically, when I'm home all day by myself studying, the last thing I really want to think about is getting dressed, so I almost always grab a white v-neck and a pair of shorts. But every once in a while I venture out to Walmart, or Chili's, or some other fine establishment in town where I want to look a little more put together. Enter: accessories. And no one knows the difference.


20/22 Old Navy shorts; Thrifted scarf; Target flats.


21/22 Old Navy shorts (that I still need to hem); Aeropostale scarf; Target flats.


22/22 Old Navy shorts; Thrifted belt and shoes; Necklace borrowed from Mom.

Three ways to wear: blue pencil skirt

When I first thrifted this skirt I could only think of simple, professional ways to wear it. (Like with a white button-down, like I did with a dark purple skirt here) I included it in my 30 items, however, because I thought it had potential to be worn more ways, specifically more casually this summer.

Anyway, I liked doing the 'three ways to wear' post so much last week that I thought I'd do it again. Hope you enjoy it too!


12/30 Pacsun shirt*; Thrifted belt; Target wedges.


13/30 Charlotte Russe shirt; Target flats.


14/30 Express shirt; Thrifted scarf (worn as belt); Payless sandals.

I still feel like there are endless remixing opportunities with this skirt, especially once I have access to the rest of my closet after the challenge! (See also how Kendi has styled a similar skirt here and here)

*I also swapped out one of my cardigans for the t-shirt in the top outfit. (It's on sale here by the way) I'm not sure what I was thinking before because sweaters are the last thing I want to wear in this heat.

And then disaster struck.

3/30 Express v-neck; Old Navy pants; Thrifted belt and scarf; Payless wedges.

You guys left some awesome feedback yesterday for being better at walking in these wedges. Apparently though, I still haven't had enough practice because right in the middle of taking pictures for this outfit, disaster struck.

I completely busted in the middle of my driveway, and tore up my knee, and these pants. My knee is fine (I'll probably be rocking a band-aid tomorrow) but I'm not sure what to do about the hole in these pants....I'm thinking I'll try and convert them into shorts, but we'll see.

Anyway, I originally meant for this post to be about how awesome my headband is, and how I'm finally figuring out more ways to wear all the scarves that I've accumulated so...just focus on that I guess.

Rinse, wear, repeat.

Express t-shirt and jeans; Target flats; Thrifted scarf and belt.

I wear some variation of this outfit a lot. In fact, on the days that I'm not posting an outfit, the odds are pretty good that I'm wearing skinny jeans, a white t-shirt, and a scarf. My collection of scarves is getting pretty gigantic...it was already growing pretty fast with all my trips to Savers, and then a few weeks ago my step-mom brought home about 50 scarves from a garage sale for only like $8. Needless to say I won't be repeating any for a while.

Do you guys have a 'go-to' outfit when you're in a hurry or just feeling lazy in general?

A pre-birthday post.

Express t-shirt; American Eagle jeans; Target shoes; Thrifted scarf.

It's a one picture kind of day. You guys know how that is.

I also feel like I've worn this outfit before. It's just that white v-neck + square scarf is so easy. And I've accumulated so many scarves and this is the only way I know how to wear them. (Any other suggestions?)

In other news, tomorrow is my birthday! Being about to graduate with a master's degree makes me feel really old sometimes, but I'm actually only turning 22.

If you really can't help yourself, I accept gifts in the form of cupcakes and cash =]

TGI-Thursday

Express t-shirt; Pacsun jeans; Payless shoes; Thrifted scarf; Watch gift from my mom.

Thank goodness it's Thursday. They're like my Fridays, but also my longest days of the week. I'm usually at school from around 10 to 4:30, and then I have honor society-related stuff from 6 to almost midnight sometimes. It's dinner, then our meeting, then the bar (which is hard work too, okay? It's called networking).

Anyway, do you ever have those days where you really just want to wear jeans and a t-shirt? Well I have that every day. But I'm finding that just by adding an accessory like a vintage scarf, it looks like I actually put some thought into what I was wearing.

But between you and me, I just picked the one on top of the pile.

Not exactly the look I was going for

Tee-Old Navy

Jeans-Pacsun

Boots-Wet Seal

Blazer-from Dillard's I think

It's very weird to have access to my whole closet again, I still find myself drawn towards my 30 items, and I have to make myself stay away from them. Are you guys who are finished also having that problem?

Anyway, it's a rare things that you'll see my hair up, but I was inspired to try this hairstyle after seeing Plummy doing it and how good it looked on her. You cant's see it too too well in these pics, but it was super easy to do in the morning, and I didn't even have to touch it all day. I'm hooked.

Overall, I was going for a milkmaid-in-the-Swiss-Alps-meets-equestrian but all I got all day were comments that I looked like Princess Leia. Not exactly what I was going for, but oh well.

In other news, finals are over!!! Thank goodness. Tonight I'm celebrating by going to an ugly sweater party and drinking marga-tinis. It should be awesome.
