Outfit of the day!

Hi friends!

I'm blogging on the road today because I'm currently on my way home! So I'm passing the time on this boring 2 1/2 hour ride by writing this! 

Today was actually a nice sunny fall day, as opposed the rain and yuckiness I've had to deal with these past few days. So I took this nice day as an opportunity to actually get ready for class and put myself together in the morning for once! It also helped that I don't start class until 11 o'clock on Thursdays so I didn't have to wake up early to look nice (always a plus). 

So as you can see in the picture above, I actually curled my hair so it's kind of curly/wavy and did my eye makeup! It's a miracle! I barely put on mascara the rest of the week.. But with my makeup and hair done, I wanted to wear an outfit that made me feel good too!

So I put together my favorite jacket of all time (I seriously wear it like once a week.. I LOVE IT) and my Van Halen tshirt from Forever 21. Don't mind the wrinkles.. College students don't have time to iron.

And I paired that with my lighter wash distressed skinny jeans from American Eagle. They're kind of a mix between skinny jeans and boyfriend jeans when they stretch out a little, but that makes them even more comfortable. I wore my burlap Toms, I wear these with basically everything. I had to get a new pair because my original ones are shredded from over-wear.. What can I say, they're comfy and cute and I love 'em!

My gold chain necklace from Old Navy completed my outfit. I'm usually kind of awful at accesorizing, but I really loved the way this necklace looked with my outfit overall!

You know you've got a rockin' outfit on when someone tells you that you look like a boss ass bitch. Actually doing my hair and makeup and putting together a cute outfit made me feel more confident all day especially since I've worn nothing but sweats the majority of the week.. Never underestimate the power of a little self-pampering!

Polyvore outfit: A Day Out

Hi friends!

A Day Out by hannah-grace-larson featuring 7 for all mankind skinny jeans

Here's an outfit I threw together on Polyvore! It's a website that allows you to create, explore and shop outfits and decor. It's a lot of fun although the outfits are not usually budget friendly (at least not for my budget.. cue the poor college student tears) but it is a great source for outfit inspiration!

I love everything about this outfit, I love love love the boots, and I love the hat but I have not yet been brave enough to try one out in my own wardrobe.

This outfit features a top from Monki, Jeans from 7 For All Mankind, boots by H by Hudson, bag by Fossil, and hat by Rag and Bone

My Fall Essentials

Here are some of my favorite items from my closet for the FALL SEASON!

I got this sweater last Christmas and I am OBSESSED with it. I have gotten a lot of compliments on it this fall so far and who doesn't love compliments?!?! It makes me feel like I'm curled up in a cozy cocoon all day and I LOVE IT.

Price: Under $40

 If you haven't heard of this website before GO CHECK IT OUT NOW! It's an amazing site for cheap trendy clothes and if you're a college student like me, that is all that matters. 

I have recently fallen in love with Old Navy, which is where I got this chambray dress. It is a great dress year-round I think (I wore it for Easter) and is great to pair with tights/a scarf/cute boots. It's also great for layering.

Old Navy always has AMAZING sales, I am constantly getting emails about deals both in-store and online. Definitely worth checking out on a shopping trip.

Price: Around $30

Another great find from Old Navy. Everyone needs a Chambray button down in their closet to pair with black skinnies or colored jeans. This shirt is a bit of a different shade from the typical chambray shirt, but they also have those at Old Navy.

From: Old Navy

Price: $25-30

This scarf is definitely a staple of my fall wardrobe.. I mean, it goes with everything. I have paired it with basically everything else in this list.. and it SPARKLES, if you don't like a little sparkle you are doing something wrong!

From: Express (a few years ago.. but I am pretty sure they still sell it, or one similar.

Price: $30

Their stuff runs a bit expensive, I would suggest buying it on sale like I did :)

This is literally my favorite piece of clothing. I wear is ALL THE TIME. I bought it on clearance like 4 years ago at American Eagle and it has withstood the test of time and is still in style (I actually feel like it's more in style now than when I bought it). It is just a light weight layer that goes with a lot. Perfect for Fall. I'm actually pretty sure they started carrying something very similar to this at American Eagle again.

From: American Eagle

Price: I have no idea, I bought it forever ago.

When you find an adorable (faux) leather jacket in the store for only $15, you cannot pass it up. I had been looking for a cute cheap motorcycle-like jacket for a while and Forever 21 did not disappoint. It makes me feel way more badass than I really am.. but it's nice to feel like you could take on the world.

From: Forever 21

Price: $15 (!!!)

These boots are my obsession. I saw them at DSW and decided I didn't need them, after months of thinking about them, I decided I DID need them. I found them online for cheaper and scooped them right up! They are perfect for every occasion (maybe not every occasion..) and they are REALLY comfy! 

From: GoJane.com

Price: $40

I had searched and searched for a maxi-skirt that was long enough for me (being 5'10'', all of them hit me at the awkward mid-ankle). This skirt was actually an empire waist dress that I just snipped right at the elastic waist. That made it long enough for me to wear a little high waisted. It is so comfortable and feels like you're wearing a cozy jersey-knit blanket all day. Given that this was a dress that my sister gave me that I made a few... alterations to, I have no idea where it is from or how much it cost.

I would never survive Fall (or Winter) without these items!

Autumn/Winter 2013-2014 Favorites

Need some fall fashion inspiration? Here are some of my favorite looks from the Autumn/Winter 2013-2014 fashion month.

Dolce & Gabbana

I have a slight obsession with Dolce & Gabbana runway looks. I love the gems, the classic shapes, and the over-the-top accessories.

Felder Felder

Look 1: I love this leather trend! This skirt is edgy and classic combined and who doesn't love a little edge.

Look 2: Oversized sweaters are the glue of my fall wardrobe and I am in love with this bright color. Not to mention how freaking cute this hat is.

Look 3: All-black, flattering, edgy, adorable hat, WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE.

Matthew Williamson

Look 1: You can't go wrong with a simple silhouette, an adorable pattern and a bold statement neckline.

Look 2: THIS PATTERN IS TO DIE FOR.

Look 3: I have a weakness for maxi dresses, especially in a trendy print with a flattering waistline.

Topshop Unique

Look 1: Love this sequined skirt. It's the perfect length, the perfect amount of glam, and hits the slimmest part of the waist. The pairing with the crop top shows just a bit of skin and ups the sexy factor.

Look 2: Not sure I could wear this jumpsuit in my everyday style but man oh man is it HOT. 

Sass and Bide

Looks 1, 2, 3: BRING ON THE MINI DRESSES!!

Look 4: I am in love with this yellow pop of color.

Look 5: The white geometric design on this perfect LBD make it POP and give it an updated look.

Look 6: I think I actually drooled on my keyboard when I saw this beautiful white number.. It is just perfect.

Oscar de la Renta

I am just a huge fan of this pattern. It is living proof that mixing bold patterns can work! 

BE BOLD.

Valentino

FLORALS!! 

This dress reminds me of fine china, but it totally works.

Paul Smith

Deep red is a staple this season and this is how you do it right!
