Leopard

Mossimo @ Target Tunic / Jockey Leggings 

Premier Designs Necklace & Bracelet 

Capelli Rain Boots (similar) / Totes Travel Umbrella

It never rains in Colorado. Like maybe 10 times in a whole year, and it's not an epic thunderstorm. 

So when I started school in Georgia, my first must-have purchases were rain boots and umbrellas. After making the mistake of buying rain boots from the kid section at Target (smaller shoe=shorter boot shaft=puddles in my shoes), I upgraded to these gorgeous leopard babies. I love them! 

Because I actually really love the rain, I get very excited when I look outside and realize I get to pull out my leopard boots. Yesterday, for the torrential rain that hit Tallahassee, I paired my leopard boots with one of my favorite Premier necklaces, an acrylic leopard link statement necklace. I kept the rest of the outfit simple and comfortable, with leggings and a tunic. With the addition of a fun red umbrella, I was all set! 

What do you wear on a rainy day?

Five Friday Favorites

IT'S SPRING BREAK!

Well, almost. I have a fair amount of homework and projects due the week we get back from spring break, so I'm staying in town a couple extra days so that I can finish them, as well as get some necessary things crossed off my to-do list. It has been a crazy week, but to really begin my Five Friday Favorites we start back with last Saturday...

1. I went to a Civil War Reenactment Ball with some friends, and oh my goodness it was a ton of fun! Everyone was so welcoming, and we learned some traditional Civil-War era dances. My roommate and I are getting the group back together to go again next year!

2. Sunday was a beautiful day in Tallahassee, and thankfully I got to spend it outside with my sisters for our spring philanthropy event, Alpha PHIfa, which is a soccer tournament that the other fraternities and sororities on campus compete in. I loved being able to sit and relax in the sun with my sisters!

3. Wednesday was a rainy day, so out came my rain boots for a chic but comfy rainy-day look! I have worn this tunic so so much since I got it!

4. I FINISHED MY GIRAFFE CHAIR! I am so proud of this chair--I designed and built it all myself! What I loved about this project is seeing not only my design take shape, but also my classmates' designs taking shape. In a couple weeks we will present the chairs, each one inspired by a different children's book, to a local elementary school. So expect pictures of little 1st graders enjoying my chair to be up soon. I'm really looking forward to seeing the reactions of my "clients"!

5. Thankfully I've finished the big projects due post-spring break, so today my goal is to finish as much of my other homework as I can, but also maybe having a mini spa day... After cutting all that cardboard I definitely am in need of a manicure!

Have a great weekend!

Insta-Outfits for the Week

I've had a couple cute outfits this week, and if you follow me on Instagram you might have already seen them but I thought I'd share them with you today! The first one was my Monday outfit, which features the awesome printed pants I talked about in this post. I love these pants! They are so easy, so comfy, and so stylish! Once I'm past my "No Shopping In February" Challenge I might have to keep my eye out for a second pair. Pants like these will be a great winter to spring transition, and something you could even wear into the summer.

The next outfit was my Wednesday outfit. It was a rainy and gross day yesterday here in Tallahassee, and this combo was just enough to make it a little bit better. My leopard rain boots paired well with the polka dots (the patterns are way different sizes) and I loved the Premier jewelry I selected to wear with it. 

Personally, I always feel like I put way more effort in on Monday and Wednesday, partially because of the nature of my classes those days (inside all day as opposed to Tuesday & Thursday when I'm in the furniture design studio and trekking it all around campus). Do you have days you naturally put in more effort?
