OOTD: Stripes and Such

OOTD: Stripes and Such 
During finals week I still wanted to look put together but comfy. In my opinion the motto "Look good feel good" is a fabulous way to live by. So, during my exams since high school I have always worn dresses or a cute outfit. Then again I was the girl who showed up to school in heels and a dress or skirt everyday, but thats besides the point. 

My biggest tip is to ditch the sweat pants and opt for a comfy pair of jeggings. They are just as comfortable, in my opinion, but they look a heck lot better! In general you will feel more put together with a cute outfit compared to a random sweatshirt and pair of sweatpants that you found on your floor. 

For my outfit I paired this super cute striped top with a simple pair of jeans. This top has a unique silhouette and I like how the sleeves flare out a bit. It is super nautical which is an upcoming trend. I paired the simple look with my favorite necklace of all time (I basically wear it everyday it seems like) and a classic pair of brown boots. 

Another tip I have for a final exam look is to take the time to do your hair or makeup. I think if you look good then you will feel more confident in yourself before taking the exam. Because if you skip these normal steps you might have a freak out something like... "I can't believe I left the house like this" or "Why do I look like death?". You can avoid these panic attacks! Simple wake up a few minutes early and look at your flash cards or study materials as you curl your hair. I have done this many of times and you can review and get ready at the same time!

College Diaries: Day 1 | Road Trip, exploring, and dinner.

College Diaries: Road Trip, Exploring, and Dinner
Hello everyone! I'm so sorry for getting behind on my blog. I have been rushing all week and moving into my dorm room so things have been CRAZY to say the least! But here are some pictures of college adventures so far. 

Friday August 16th: 
So this was the day I moved in before school. My parents and I went to a nice dinner and explored the campus a little bit! 

My new home at school. Can't wait to get started with everything! 



My car was packed to say the least! This isn't even everything I took. A friend of mine brought a U-Haul so she brought some of my stuff. I was pretty squished but I need my stuff. A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do right? 



This is my road trip attire. I think dresses are just the most comfortable thing but hey that's just me. 
Where it's from: 
Dress: My friend brought back from Taiwan
Shoes: Keds
Necklace: Dry Goods 
Bracelets: Dry Goods and Alex and Ani
Sunglasses: Dry Goods   


This was my dinner at the restaurant we ate at in Ames. The restaurant is super good and has a lot of specials and everything is locally grown. 

Stay tuned for more College Diaries there are many more to come!
