Anyways, my mom and I went out for lunch yesterday and this is the outfit I wore! My mom made the dress featured in this post and I received so many compliments! Don't forget to follow me on instagram/twitter @adriennenguyenn

Thanksgiving is right around the corner! Are you guys excited? I wanted to find some autumn inspired accents for my room but each time I enter a home decor store, I am bombarded with Christmas shenanigans. Don't get me wrong though. Christmas is a lovely holiday that I both celebrate and enjoy but I wanted to find some rustic decorations that could serve as transitional pieces. Despite my later than usual posting schedule, I wanted to post more often so I might include sales that grab my attention, pieces I would like to add to my closet or inspirational interiors. I believe that would allow me to interact with you guys more. Anyways, it still is hot but we did experience some strong winds a few days ago. Even though it was extremely dry, I decided to wear this ensemble. Plum and burgundy are two of my favorite colors. There's just something powerful and dark about it - it has the right amount of seduction, mystery and allure. I centered my outfit around these colors by pairing my plum BCBGeneration fedora with a crimson top and skinny pants from ZARA. By the way, I finally found a wool fedora hat that suited my face! They are usually too small on me but this one was perfect!

I finished all my midterms last week and took my first final yesterday! I honestly cannot believe how fast this quarter is going - looking back at my workload and weekly schedule, I have no idea how I managed everything. Comparing my situation as a pharmacy student compared to my undergraduate years is a bit disheartening. When I was an undergrad, I thought I spent too way too many nights staying up (midnight seemed too late for me). As of now, I no longer have a regular sleeping schedule (insert sad teardrop emoji). I crave naps and sometimes I have to stay up until the wee hours of the night, I'm talking about 3 to 4AM, to finish all of my work. Just three years left of actual memorizing, studying and writing! Anyways, I know a lot of you pharmacy applicants are now going to interviews and I've had a lot of feedback from my posts. Starting next year, I will initiate a virtual pharmacy school mentor-mentee program to aid applicants! I'll have a signup and we can have sessions as time permits!

Now on to this post...I wore this over the summer in Orange County - as you can tell I am WAY behind on posts.  I got this sheer overlay TOPSHOP pencil skirt at Nordstrom and I'm just waiting to wear this on rotations (which will, unfortunately, be the summer of 2018 since I'll be doing research this coming summer)! I love dressing up but its quite hard at UCSD - check out my Instagram posts to see what I wear on a daily basis. The parking situation here is B E Y O N D terrible and I have to park at Revelle and scramble across the street to get onto campus (High five to those who know what I'm taking about, #TheStruggleIsReal). The highest heel height I can manage without tumbling down hills is 2 inches! I wanted to avoid wearing these heeled flats to school since the road is uneven but I gave into temptation. I wore these yesterday and they're still in great condition. I will try to post more often - I have some exciting collaborations to share with you guys in the future! Until next time!
