Against the plain – Pt. 3

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)

Against the plain – Pt. 2

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.

Against the plain – Pt. 1

Hello….

…it’s me…Emily! It’s 2016, and although I don’t believe in new year’s resolutions; as I’m a firm advocate for people to change whenever it’s needed… I figured I’d make a change in this new year and finally start my very own blog. I use the word style instead of fashion because it seems more laid back, plus I will admit that I don’t follow the latest trends and looks on the runways. My style varies through my mood, my surroundings, and my experiences. I do not force myself to follow one look because to me, that’s too boring. Life changes and molds you, so why not have your clothing do the same. Goodbye minimalism, hello fun and freedom!
For my first look I figured I’d do a very typical “Emily” easy look.
A band tshirt, some jeans, and a faux-leather jacket is something I’d throw on any day and feel comfortable and confident.
