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!

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.

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.

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!

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!
