Clothes For College

I have been stressing about college all summer. What classes will I take? What if I don't get a dorm with ac? What if I can't handle my schedule? How will I pay for everything? With all these other questions running through my head I haven't really had a lot of time to focus on what clothes I'll be packing and taking with me.
I went out and bought a shoe rack for my closet floor and a hanging shoe organizer for my closet. I'll be able to fit 20 pairs of shoes in my closet without taking up a lot of space. Shoes wise I plan on taking comfortable flats, gym shoes to work out in, 1 pair of flip flops, a pair of converse, and at least 2 pairs of heels. Clothes wise the basics will help me create zillions of different outfits. Jeans, shorts, skirts, and a couple dresses for anything fancy. Tops and sweaters and jackets complete my basics. Jewelry & scarves will be limited because I don't want to take up too much space. I'm a design major so I want lots of options, especially with my shoes. :) I'm not taking a lot right away though, I figure I'll be back for Thanksgiving and can switch up my wardrobe. I'll be exchanging tank tops for blazers and sandals for boots. I'm excited for the challenge and I can't wait to be there. I'll post again about several key items for my college wardrobe.

Jazzed July

July has started off with a bang (literally) & has been crazy hot.

For this month I have a Malibu Barbie who looks elegant with a purple, blue, & green ensemble with smoky makeup. I love her hair, despite being a drawing it looks like it has a lot of depth & volume. I can imagine lounging on a pool chair in the shade reading a book & looking fabulous in this.

My other calendar is a snapshot of one of the many Metro entrances. This has more of a cutting edge feel to it somehow. When I look at this I think of a French girl with dark wash skinny jeans, a retro top (maybe off the shoulder with a little scarf), red lipstick, big sunglasses, & ballet flats, with a huge bag & a coffee cup. I love how both pictures convey completely different feelings and thoughts.

The quote that came with the picture is, "Paris is the city in which one loves to live."-Margaret Anderson

I have to say I love this quote & completely agree with it. When I was in Paris I felt amazing, like I wanted to soak up all the culture and do everything & anything all in one day. It might have been because it's all been a dream of mine to visit Paris, but being there gives you a different feeling & it's wonderful.

This is my last month before college; August will be exciting and different. I wonder what my calendars will have in store for my inspiration.
