Oversized Sweaters All the Time

I went to the mall today to do some Christmas shopping for just myself. And I went into H&M with this outfit that is fully from H&M. I got this particular turtleneck 

sweater from their black Friday sale. And they still have some available in the grey that I have in the picture. It is really comfy and warm. What I have been doing this winter is wearing over sized sweaters with small jersey skirts, so it evens it out. Usually I wear knit tights or thigh high to keep warm but I forgot to pack them so oh well! 

Fall with Corgi Purses

I posted this picture a while back on my personal insta. I was planning to eventually do a shoot with this purse but living alone and working makes blogging difficult. I got asked a lot were I got this purse from so here is the official post, with a mirror picture taken in an H&M dressing room.

It is finally October!

Okay so it is finally October. In Georgia it usually is mid 90s until the end of October. But it is getting cold here now! I am so excited! I live for pumpkin everything. And now Saturday Night Live, The Mindy Project, and Brooklyn Nine-Nine are back and so I am alive and happy again.

More Off the Shoulder Gingham

Pants, Shirt, Hoops, Lipstick in Underage Red 

Okay so yet again a hurricane has kicked me out of my town which gave me some time off work to fashion blog! 

I have had this shirt forever, but it just went on sale! 

This shirt brings attention to something I do often which is clothes hunting. Basically, especially with unique vintage and modcloth, you should shop around for the best price. The clothing most of the time is not their original brand. So because of that sometimes the original site is cheaper or running a sale that may not be on the other. So its really important. I found this shirt also at Forever 21 (shocking because it is nice material and not flimsy??) but currently it is on sale at unique vintage so that is the ideal place.

Also you will see a ton of me wearing gold hoops, not because of fall style or anything, I am just now discovering that I love them so.

And then I paired it with my usual go to pants that I adore. They are versatile and comfy and I love them.

Well until next time,

Off The Shoulder Galore

This post is brought to you by the Outback parking lot, I am alive because of Outback and their cheese fries. 
Okay so I bought this dress from unique vintage as a nice summer dress for long days outside. Terrible idea. Beautiful dress but it is not a flowy beach lightweight dress. It is very heavy material so it makes a good August/September dress. Also if your a small, it is on sale!

Dress, Similar Shoes, Hair Scarf

Blogger Spotlight

Okay so it is time for my second blogger spotlight and I have chosen Room 334! I was really scared to start blogging but when I found her blog it gave me the courage to start mine. Blogging is a daunting task and I was worried it would be much more elitist rather than a bunch of people just writing about what they love. Her blog is wonderful, she is able to incorporate feminism and body positivity into posts about fashion. It is place to read and find cute looks and advice and inspiration!

Join (in) or Die

So it is a very commonly known fact that I am through and through an American historian. I am insanely excited for this year because I get to take a class on American Revolutionary War and Colonial Life. How freaking cool! 

Gingham Forever and Ever

Shirt, Beautiful Pants

So I am finally back from Italy after a month. Upon getting robbed and back into the US, I was able to get a new phone so I can now like super easily blog on the go! The new Iphone 7 is amazing. The camera is clear and almost as amazing as my canon and so I love it. And I can blog even more now which I am really excited about. Which means even more glam photos in my parking lot. 

Summer is ending and so I am trying not to buy anymore gingham since it is such a summer pattern. But I just love it so much. Can I not wear a gingham christmas sweater? This shirt is beautiful. It ruffles and falls off the shoulder easily. Usually off the shoulder tops are tight in order to stay in that position, but this one is nice and loose but never is uncomfortable. It is breathable and awesome. It is also super on sale.

Also I am trying to accept how I look in pants or shorts. Absolutely a daunting task. I use skirts to cover up the fact that my legs are terrifying. But to complete the vintage look every gal needs a pair of cigarette pants. It works really well with patterned shirts.

To complete the look, I wore typical red lipstick. Heels to look sassy as hell. I love heels. Key to confidence: wear heels. Even with your nike shorts, heel it. 

Until next time,

(which will be really soon)

Everything Before 1776 was a Mistake

Dress

So for the last couple of weeks I have been spending my time studying history in medieval Siena. It is a wonderful city. But I Have no time to fashion blog. Most days are spent sweating it out in some building built in the 600s. I can not use straighteners. Electricity is hard to come by. It is amazing. If anyone would like a historical rant about how much fun I am having to be posted and to show off all the beautiful sits let me know and I will! 

Europe is wonderful for fashion. Everything is mustard yellow and ruffles and platform shoes. I believe Zara is also in america but it is everywhere in Italy. Zara is an amazing store because they take a normal dress and then just add stuff to it: ruffles, patches, patterns, just fun stuff. I love it. 

This is my absolute favorite dress. I have worn it a million times since I got it a month ago. It is all my favorite tins: ruffles, gingham, and off the shoulder. 

And then I paired it wit Stila lipstick, which is not my favorite. It wore off within an hour.

But anyway today is the 4th of July.  So I get to have a small celebration in Italy. No matter were I am in the world I will forever be an American historian. So here is my first red dress ever.

Here are my favorite 4th of July quotes. It is the best holiday of the year.

Until next time,

First Blogger Spotlight

Okay so first post in forever and a day. I spent the last month preparing for my month and and a half long trip to Italy. So I have super not been blogging. I thought I would have a ton of time to blog here like nice vacation! Turns out  there is just a ton of homework and exploring to do. So hopefully I will be able to feature some amazing outfits within the next week.
 But in the mean time I want to start an segment that I have been thinking about for a wile. Basically a lot of the reason I am a fashion blogger is because of some absolutely amazing ladies who inspired me. So hopefully like once every two weeks or so I will posts about one of these ladies that I love following.This weeks blogger spotlit is The College Creative . This blogger is actually someone that went to high school with and it took us both being bloggers nearby each other to actually become friends. If you want to make more friends become a fashion blogger. The community is amazing and wonderful.

But basically her blog is still really new but she is amazingly good at updating her blog unlike me. She posts a lot of fashion inspiration, bringing historical inspiration into it as well, and some awesome DIYs to try.

I will have another post coming later this week, ft. Italy!



Until next time!

A Summer Full of Gingham

 I have not actually managed to properly blog in so long, with finals and all. But I have finally been able to leave the house and go downtown. It is very nice to be able to dress up and hang out and go to some awesome brunch places.

Dress

I plan to spend most of this summer focusing on traveling and my school work. So blogging will be few and far between. But in the fall I plan to get a tripod and focus more on blogging. But this summer blogging will be on the go! I am living in gingham this summer. I secretly hate it because like all my outfits look the exact same. But if looking like a picnic blanket isnt a summer look, I do not know what is. I get most of my latest clothes from New York & Company. Because I am trying to budget and they have expensive clothes that they put on sale a lot. NY&C makes clothes that make me feel like a successful business owner instead of a waitress struggling in college. But the dress is currently on sale! And then on top of the NY&C sends coupons in emails and so you can get even more of a discount. Which is awesome and you don't even have to shop all online. It is the best store ever basically. Especially the Eva Mendes Collection. So check it out, it will change your life. Worn with this remarkable dress is my standard Kat Von D lipstick and very rare straightened hair.

Until next time,
Hailey

Star Wars and Brooches: Two of the Best Things Ever

It is officially May 4th aka May the Fourth Be With you. So it is time to discuss a series that changed me as a person: Star Wars. I watched it for the first time ever 2 years ago with some of my favorite people in the whole world. Since then, I went on to read all of Carrie Fisher's books and she is just an absolute gem. She inspires me a lot. So star wars is something that just means a lot to me. So I like wearing star wars themed outfits. I am not a person that wears a lot of color so it is usually some darth vader purse. But for brooches I make an exception.

This is the brooch I wore today for May 4th. I love C3PO. I usually get my brooches from this Etsy Shop run by a lovely lady in california who 

 Femmedebloom is super passionate about it and really  helpful. She did not already have a brooch like this made. So I contacted her and she designed one. Super awesome.Right now she is having a May 4th sale. With code MAYTHE4TH you get 15% off and then you can choose two star wars brooches to add. So basically an awesome an amazing deal. You just purchase it and in the notes write which one you would like. 

But on to more cool star wars clothes. Usually you can actually find cool nerdy outfits at Hot Topic, which is lame as hell. But they carry Her Universe which is cheaply made for the price, so watch out for sales. But think geek carries lounge fly, which has cute Star Wars purses. You can buy it off the Lounge Fly website, but thinkgeek puts out a lot of coupons. Irregular choice also has the MOST amazing Star Wars shoes, but they are a very pretty penny. So either drop 200$ on shoes, which no judgement if you got it do it! Or obsessively check eBay.  

Shoes

I love you, I know Shirt 

R2D  

Unique Vintage also has a good Galactic Glam collection as well. This shirt is my my favorite.

Don't Call Me Princess   

And then this awesome Take Your Heart Shirt 

It is an awesome Princess Leia quote to live by. 

Well hopefully that helps you dress like a total nerd.  

Until next time,

Spectacular Puns

Basic Shirt, Skirt, Lovely Brooch, Similar Shoes

Okay so I haven't posted in a while. I have really been into school lately and not feeling like dressing nice. I keep getting attacked by dogs in my community so I have learned no nice clothes because they will get ruined and then for school it is way too early and way too much walking to dress nice. Also we are in that weird weather stage in Georgia where it could be 70 degrees out or 50 and the only way to know for sure it to go outside. I am in no way ready for Summer. It takes me a while to switch over seasons and so maybe by June I will stop wearing stockings everyday. 

But this was my simple rolled out of bed late for class outfit yesterday and it was kind of cute so here it is. I have a growing collection of pins and brooches. It is the only accessory I like besides pearl earrings and it adds a nice pop of color to my other monochrome outfit. I will featuring my brooches more now because summer calls for small amounts of color according to my mom. I got this particular brooch from an Esty shop named Jesiii. She features a lot of wonderful colorful artwork and brooches, so you should definitely check her out. 

I plan to blog more later on in the week as school winds down so stay tuned for that!

Until next time,

Hailey
