School Has Begun!






I can't believe that 1) school has started and that 2) it is this HOT in Utah! I came to escape the heat & I think I just brought it along for the ride. It is hard to be modest in the heat - all you wanna wear is shorts or a bathing suit! ;) Being on campus and seeing people wear jeans and cardigans already is maddening. Aren't you dying!?

I am also a little obsessed with buns right now - did that sound weird? Buns buns buns. Haha I love the teased & messy bun look. So chic.
Here is to being modest & cute! In shorts I might add.

Perspective



People are often unreasonable,
illogical and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind,
people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful,
you will win some false friends and true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
Be honest anyway.

What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness,
they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

Mother Teresa

Homemade + Thrifted Sunday

Man, I felt like a million bucks today! And hey it's okay to feel that way sometimes because sometimes you feel like a hobo! It is okay to boost your self esteem. It's what keeps ya goin'! I wore my thrifted J.Crew gingham shirt with my homemade grey skirt. Ya, HOMEMADE! I am so proud of that skirt. It is actually cute! hehe. Paired it with nude/gold pumps from another consignment store( Plato's Closet) and my handy dandy watch from Target.
Here's to a fab Sunday!

Thrift Store Finds

I love a good bargain.
With being a college student and all, I am pretty broke! Today I found these beauties at some local thrift stores : Uptown Resale, NBC, & BearLee New. I spent about $25 at each store and just look at what I got! I would say mission accomplished :) I swear you get this thrill when getting something on sale. I hate when people look down on buying things at a thrift store. Obviously, they can be just as cute!

J. Crew gingham blouse - $10
Soft Pink Gap blouse - $4

Grey cardigan from New York & Company - $10
Two pairs of skinny jeans - Regular: $11 Black: $9

Shoes - White:$4 Black Wedges: $9
Chambray shirt(which I have been looking everywhere for!) - $7
White silk tank- $8
Happy thrifting!

Casual Wednesday

Being a nanny means I dress casual because playtime, dirt, sunshine, and brownie mix needs to be factored in to my daily appearance. Usually - a tee & shorts. Ya know, because it is a breezy 115 degrees here!

Inspiration

Since I went to the zoo today & it is a little hard to be fashionable there with the 112 degree heat and all, I opted out of outfit pictures! Instead, amazing photos from Pinterest. I want to have all of these outfits pronto!


seriously, stunning.
