Hey guys! I have a ton of outfit pictures I've taken in 2016 but have yet to post such as this one when I went on a semi-road trip to Pioneertown, Palm Springs and Big Bear. I hope to finish posting all my old outfits before the start of next quarter so I can show you guys my present style or rather my style at school.
I wore this DIY Breton Stripe dress for ease of movement and comfort however, I did not realize that it was this short when I wore it! I did wear shorts underneath so it was all good! On the day Jonathan and I took this trip, it was relatively cool so I layered this dress with a thin olive utility coat along with a black paisley print scarf wrapped around my neck a million times. One trend I love is tying small silk neck scarves around bag handles. I believe it evokes a sense of eloquence and power. This scarf was a bit too long and thick to function as a "bag scarf" but it was great for pictures whenever there was wind.
This outfit was taken at Pioneertown, California. I never knew this place existed until Jonathan told me about it. It's the cutest western area where the wi-fi connection sucks and the population in this particular area is at a mere 350 residents. I'd love to have a summer outfit shot here though I think my skin would melt off. If you guys follow me on Instagram, you know that I took my last final yesterday and I'm officially on SPRING BREAK! Grades are slowly coming out and so far, the results have been pleasing! This quarter was much more intense than the previous with an OSCE, 4 finals and two presentations. I thought I left procrastination behind me but everything piled on fast - I definitely need to manage my time better. For my pharmacy readers, I'll further expand on what OSCE's are since I believe it will help those interviewing at schools with an MMI format.
TRANSITIONING TO AUTUMN WEATHER which means the holiday season is looming amongst us. Pumpkins of all shapes and colors, potpourri pine-cones emitting a spicy cinnamon aroma, foiled chocolate bars and scarecrows producing their best grin can be found in every market. The thrill of finding or creating the perfect costume to impersonate someone, or thing, you love or aspire to be is enticing. Going door to door and receiving chocolate or candy fills every void in the hearts of children. Oh, how I miss being a kid. But how times have changed...it just doesn't feel the same as it did 10 years ago. The magic and allure of the wicked holiday has completely vanished and has been replaced with greedy teenagers in skanky costumes (though not all, of course). Do you guys still dress up or have any continuing Halloween traditions?
As for this outfit, I wanted to wear this dress before the crisp, fall weather came in full swing. Even though this dress is pretty in itself, I wanted to add accessories. I paired this dress with a golden necklace to enhance the collar and draw attention to the white piping on the dress. I also added an emerald necklace to give my outfit a little something extra. Additionally, I decided to wear my heart shaped clutch again and I believe it matches well with this outfit! Hope you like it!
SOMBER OCTOBER BREEZE dissipating over Orange County. Even though Autumn recently began, this cold air is moving over Southern California rapidly. Afternoons are still terribly humid however, coats are definitely a must for evening outings or classes. Autumn brings about my favorite weather which is perfect for dressing up! I love gloomy, rainy days and it feels more magical with the holiday season around the corner!
HOUSE OF THE RISING SUN. We were experiencing such ideal weather in Southern California but of course Mother Nature teased us since is going to rain for the rest of the week. In the spirit of beautiful weather, I decided to wear one of my new dresses! I received this very bold orange burst dress courtesy of eShakti (My first collaboration with this brand can be seen HERE). If this is your first time hearing about this brand, you should check out their website. You may assume that I am merely promoting this brand since I am collaborating with them however it is not obligatory for me to have positive reviews. When I first tried on this dress, I was truly astonished at how well it fit me. Not to be cliché however, the dress fit me like a glove! When I zipped up the side zipper and walked toward the mirror, the structure and simplistic design of the dress evoked some sort of bewilderment. For those who do not know, eShakti allows its customers to customize their own dresses by choosing hip, waist and bust sizes along with height and special features such as the length of the dress and sleeves. Anyways, to add a bit of personality to my dress, I decided to utilize two necklaces to create a belt.
