The Collegiate Powerhouse









 I loved my huge pomp!




Hello Babes,

It has been FAR TOOOOO long since I last posted. I have been busy with finals. I JUST completed a 12 page paper that I need to proofread and send off to my professor, but I am giving my mind a break before I finish up, I also need to start studying for my last exam in the a.m. It's computer science... pray for me lol. I wore this outfit like a week ago, and as you can see, I pulled out my red wine skirt yet again. I just love the color and the look of it so after a month of waiting to wear it, I decided why not. I try not to wear the same things too often, but I couldn't resist. Besides, I am starting a new feature on here titled "When Did I Wear It Best?" since the other post got so much reception.

 This time I created a new look that made me feel like such a powerhouse. There is something about the blazer that gives me authority. You probably can't noticed but my earrings are leopard which contrasts with my tie, but I put on the earrings and added the tie way after because I thought something was missing from the look. I thought it was still a good combo... Let me know what you think.

What I Wore for A Presentation:
Light Yellow Button Down-$3.75 @ Goodwill
Tie-$1 @ Goodwill
Long Red Wine Skirt-$3.75 @ Goodwill
Earrings-$2 @ Ashley Stewart (Can you say deal?)
Lace Detailed Boots-$27 @ Evans
Oatmeal Colored Blazer-$5-6 @ Mega Thrift
"Queen" Brooch-DIY


Now... my question to you is...

  4. I am loving that wine colored skirt! I am so craving more maxi skirts. I especially love how you mixed two different prints with the tie and earrings. As much as I love all three looks, that first one with the lace tank is my favorite. Great post!

  9. Cute blazer. Girl, since I started heavily getting into thrifting, I haven't paid retail for a blazer since! I may not always stuble on the best finds but I have a closet full of blazers courtesy of my local Value Village :)
