I have exactly one week left of school for the rest of my life! Grad school/pharmacy school is reaching it's end way too fast. I can vividly recall walking onto campus for the first time... I was wearing a pant suit for interviews and running on adrenaline since I was up at 5AM (cue nostalgia and moody music). 3 years later, I'm wrapping up the last leg of my didactic curriculum and transitioning to my clinical clerkship otherwise known as rotations. Although I'm ready for a new adventure in life, I'm going to miss being in the classroom. The confines of school was an appropriate place to make mistakes without any detrimental consequences. Now it's time to hone in all the skills and knowledge I acquired from UCSD and apply it to rotations/reality. I'm hoping I will have more time to post during my 4th year - both fashion and pharmacy.
Onwards to this post, one of the most versatile pieces I own is this sleeveless lace top from Banana! If you peruse the Banana Republic website, you'll notice that many items are not available for petites 😢. I got an X-Small for this top and it's a tad bit long but nothing a simple alteration can't fix! I decided to stick with a classic black and white color scheme for this outfit. However, I couldn't resist the urge to add a splash of color! This is a great outfit for a casual day out or even school! This exact trimmed sleeveless top is sold out but I linked an alternative Banana Republic top at the bottom!
A casual outfit fit for the first day of school. Yes, I have worn outfits as such to school before - heels included! This lace, peter-pan collar top is a modest option that I find acceptable at any day occasion. Although the peplum adds a sense of shape at the waist, I wanted to accentuate my curves with this Betsey Johnson belt. Instead of pairing this top with basic white, black or bold colors, I chose to stick to neutral toned shorts, with a hint of black, from Forever 21. To finish off my look, I chose to wear nude heels to elongate my figure... which also reminds me that I really need to invest in some nude shoes since the BCBG Max Azria ones, pictured here, are a bit frazzled.
Hello everyone! I just finished orientation at UCSD and yesterday was my first official day of school! Looking at my course schedule is a bit overwhelming but I am beyond ecstatic to be a full time student again! There are multiple potential outfit post locations around campus so you might see some UCSD backgrounds in the future!
Onwards to fashion: Banana Republic generously provided me with some of their new arrivals! This particular post shows 3 different outfits - each with something from Banana Republic. To start off, I immediately fell in love with this blush colored merino wool featherweight sweater. Besides the hue, I adore the feel of wool against my skin! It's the perfect transitional piece from summer to fall and it works wonders with both skirts and pants. Though this crew neck sweater isn't offered in petite sizes, I opted for an X-Small and it fits extremely well. I was a bit afraid this sweater might be too loose on me but it fits just fine! I paired this top with a full circle midi skirt to bring back some Southern Belle roots to my blog.
