Against the plain: pt. 6

It’s Saturday evening, and instead of going out, or spending time with my S-O, I’m sitting here in bed, catching up on an endless list of school work I have to do for this week.
BORRING. I know right?
So I thought I’d take a little break from school work to post a very casual and simple OOTD, something I’d wear to school, or if I wanted to be comfy.
I hold this Calvin Klein tshirt dearly to my heart since it’s the coolest item I’ve ever found at a thrift store. CK items are quite pricey, and I found this bad boy at value village a year ago for 3$ (instead of 55$ online). It was a bargain  I couldn’t pass up.
I don’t usually opt for converse, but I thought they complemented the casual look and I liked how a low, slim sneaker looked with my jeans cuffed up.

That’s it for me, I wish good luck to all my fellow people struggling through the last months of school before summer. We’re almost there!!

Jeepers Creepers! It’s #throwbackthursday today, so I thought it would be fun to put together a very 90s look. From the creepers, to the choker, to the daisy flowers, this outfit screams 90s and I’m into it. Being a 90s baby, I find myself often reminiscing and feeling nostalgic about almost everything in my childhood, from the polly pockets,  the spice girls, the twisty rhinestones to bedazzle your hair, to the ever so popular furbies. You name it, I was probably into it.
I added tight skinny jeans and a white blouse to give the look a  bit of modernity.

Let me know what your favourite throwback memory is.

So far this week has been crazy, I studied for a ridiculous amount of time and I’ve completed three midterms. I’m glad they’re done with although I can’t help but to wish I was still on vacation in Toronto. Instead all I have left of my trip are my great memories and a couple of pictures to look back on. This look was fun to shoot with my S\O on our last day in TO (thanks again bae). I’m particularly fond of this outfit because of the statement burnt orange jacket. It’s not something I’d usually go for but it was an amazing deal in the sale section at Zara so I thought it would be a great and unique piece to add to my collection. I based the rest of my look around the jacket so kept my pants\shoes\hat plain black and the sweater is also muted and doesn’t take attention away from the jacket.

Happy Hump Day! (aka Wednesday)
This is my ideal comfy yet put together outfit for school.
I’ve seen others pair the same colour on the top and bottom recently and it always catches my eye so I thought I’d give it a go!
I threw on a blanket scarf for extra warmth and comfort. If you don’t already have one, I’d strongly recommend investing in a giant scarf because they are a life saver when it’s chilly in class and is used as my shield against the cold wintery months when walking outside on campus.

I look like a burrito of oatmeal and I’m ok with that. (mmm oatmeal)

I’d like to start by saying happy Friday! I hope you all have a  wonderful weekend.
This look is all about the skirt. I’ve been wanting a button-up jean skirt for a while now and the ones at American apparel just didn’t seem to fit right. As I was waltzing through the mall after a long day of class, Zara’s sale caught my attention and I simply had to sneak a peak. Low and behold they had a denim skirt… and the best part.. it was on sale for 15$! If that’s not a bargain I don’t know what is.
To really let the skirt be the statement I went for opaque tights and a black turtle neck.
