And so it begins

My property exam is in the morning and...I'm as ready as I'm ever going to be.  And so it begins. Two weeks, four exams, and the law review write on competition as soon as its over?  Let's do this (puts on game face and imagines Eye of the Tiger playing in the background.)

Sooooo, this thing has been in the stairwell at my apartment building for the past few days and I cannot figure out what it is.  I am convinced it's a bat.  Seriously hope I'm wrong!

Crazy Stressful

Dress: Forever 21+

Jacket: Hand me down

Shoes: Steve Madden via Amazon

This has been another one of those crazy stressful weeks that I talk about so often.  My first final is the last week of this month so what I really want to do is focus on outlining, but the law school has other plans.  I had a research test yesterday, a practice exam on Thursday as well as an oral argument, and in between I have had meetings, makeup classes, and regular reading assignments.  Remind me why I signed up for this again...

Birthday Parties and Swan Dresses

Dress: eShakti

Cardigan: Target via Ebay

Belt: New York & Company

Shoes: Old Navy

Bracelets: Gifted

My grandmother had her 75th birthday not too long ago and this is what I wore to her party.  It was on a weekend when I had a major paper due, so I didn't get to stay for very long, but it was nice to see family from out of town and say hello to a few family friends.

"In another life I would make you stay so I don't have to say you were the one that got away"

Shirt: Target

Cardigan: Target

Skirt: Gifted

Belt: Ebay

Bracelets: Gifted

Shoes: Old Navy

Earrings: Gifted

I wore this the day my Torts class did a mock trial.  Some people dressed up more that day, others less.  I tried to acknowledge the fact that I was speaking for my group by wearing a button down shirt and heels, but I kept a bit of my own personality in the outfit by wearing a printed cardigan and belt.  I think it was the right choice for me.

Don't Judge Me

Dress: Loft via Ebay

Tunic: New York & Company

Belt: Ebay

Earrings: Overstock.com

Bracelets: Gifted

Shoes: Steve Madden via Amazon

Last week was a beast.  I had a mock trial in my torts class and a paper due Sunday night, but somehow I got through it and my reward for all of those late nights, early mornings is that new episodes of Make it or Break It and The Secret Life of the American Teenager begin today. Before you judge me for being a twenty-something who watches ABC Family, look at it from my perspective.  I spend my days poring over legal textbooks and by the time I get home my brain has practically turned to mush.  I can't handle anything too complicated once I get to that point so teenage pregnancy and fictional sports competitions are just about right.

Dress: Thrifted

Cardigan: Thrifted

Belt: Ebay

Cami: Forever 21+

Necklace: Primark (London)

Shoes: Payless

This is one of those spontaneous and unexpected outfits. You know the ones. You walk into your closet with no idea what you're going to wear, see two items hanging together and concede that the fates have made your outfit choice for you.  I'm not sure how well you can see it in this picture, but I'm wearing the same pair of color block shoes I wore in this post as part of what is either an inspired color block mix or an all around bad idea. I think I like it, but I suppose I'll let the fashion jury decide :)
