Yesterday I had to go to an advising session at the college I am transferring to and decided I wanted to wear something that looked professional but casual at the same time (since it's not like it was an interview or anything), and this is what I came up with. I love pairing mint and white together, it just seems like one of the the most gorgeous color combinations.

Piece of advice, though, if you're planning on meeting with an adviser or someone else on a campus you don't know like the back of your hand and are directionally-impaired like I am. . . leave super early and have a good idea of where you need to be (meaning look at a map a thousand times) and don't be too proud to ask for help. Also, if you haven't yet, download google maps to your smart phone, if you have one, and keep track of where you're going because let's face it, without it I would not have found the building I needed to be at on time and I dislike hate being late.

I decided to go against the flow today and not wear green 'cause I just didn't feel like it. I did, however, wear green eyeshadow, so technically you can't pinch me ;) What about you? Are you going against the flow or are you going all out for St. Patty's? Comment below!

Fashion Inspiration: New Years Eve Edition

I have been stuck in bed for the past 7 hours with some weird virus type thing so I decided to do a "Fashion Inspiration: NYE edition" for y'all, and without spending too much money because I know, at least for me (since I'm a poor college student), that it is difficult to justify spending so much money on a dress that you might only wear once so here are some of the dresses that I'm getting my inspiration from this year ~

Forever 21:

Get this for $15.80 here

 I would pair this with black tights, a sequined blazer, and shoes like these

You can get these for $22.80 here

 I would pair this with a metallic belt, lace tights and gold heels

You can get this for $14.50 here

This is a more "casual" NYE dress, so I would pair this with either a jean jacket or leather jacket, and combat boots like these (if you're going for a more rocker chic look this year)

JCP: 

Get this for $20 here

 I would pair this with brightly colored pumps and a contrast color clutch (think red and purple or something similar).

mac + jac Jacquard dress for $30 here

This is honestly my favorite out of all these dresses because it is just so different because of the "reptile print". I would pair this with brightly colored tights (like shown in the picture) and either a black heel or studded wedge.

Target:

Get this here for $24.99

I really dig this dress as well, it's one of those dresses that you could dress up or down and can be worn multiple times. I would pair this with a thin belt, black sheer tights, and metallic heels. 

 That's it! I hope this post was helpful to you while you try to figure out what to wear New Years Eve night, and I hope that if you aren't able to get these particular dresses that these at least gave you a little bit of inspiration!

So I'm taking a break from biology homework because it is stressing me out like crazy. I have an exam on Tuesday and I have no idea how I'm going to remember what the heck a peptidoglycan does... there are so many terms and diagrams to memorize. *sigh* Anyway, I didn't get very many good pictures today because when I went out to take some my camera's battery decided to die on me about 5 pictures in, so that didn't help much, but luckily a did get a few. Overall this day has been testing my patience, but I'm hoping it gets a little bit better... and that I can remember all these bio terms by Tuesday.

Oh also, I have a couple ideas about new posts and videos, but I wanted to get some of y'alls suggestions, so please comment on this post and let me know what you would like to see in the future. That would be a huge help :)
