White Hot



 I'm really digging the white right now. Everything is gloomy, dark, and bundled up; I just want to look clean and FRESH. (Desperate for Spring right now.) I wear my white pants as much as possible and am trying to figure out how to wear my pleated skirt in the rain and arctic winds.

In preparation for Spring, I have been seriously obsessing over these boots (below). I probably don't need any more boots but, come on, they're white.

Be About It

I feel like I always have some sort of mantra or verse motivating me at any given time. 
These are a few that have been on my mind lately:

Obsess

Real life obsession: Combat boots.



I invested in a pair of these babies two years ago and don't know how I lived without them. They go with absolutely everything, and I wear them at least twice a week. Mine are the Nordstrom BP brand (super affordable- I was afraid I wouldn't love them), but lately I've been thinking of truly investing in a pricier pair. After thinking long and hard about this, I'm going to give it another year or so/until I feel although I've worn the crap out of them. Why fix something that isn't broken, right?

Dream Obsession: Boy London


I've all-of-a-sudden become super obsessed with Boy London. Truth is... I know nothing about it other than it's the thing over seas. I like to think this "grungy English rock star" is in my blood somewhere (my mom is English and was all over that rock and roll scene), but I'm not so sure about it. Unfortunately for me though, this basic t-shirt with nine letters on it is like... $60+
YEAH.
RIGHT.
Maybe I'll crack one day. It would look awesome will some new combats.

The First

At a glance, you may think these pictures are extremely awkward. However, I'm actually naturally this awkward, and these pictures are 100% normal for me. (The last one was almost intentionally awk though, do not fret.)

 Practice Round: Ready, Go.



[This is where the last picture was. It was so awkward, it hurt. It showed my brown, knee-high boots and a whole lot of awk. I saved ya, you're welcome]
[shirt: Wilfred. vest and boots: Free People, leggings: who knows... they're unfortunately see-through]

This is typical: stretchy, loose, ...boots. Today, my wonderful friend, Olivia, is helping me start. I did nothing exciting today, and this is what I wore to do all of that nothingness. I assure you, if I kept my nothingness within my home, I would be in pjs under an electric blanket watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S. I've been having so many of those days lately (winter break is good to me), so I'm actually so thankful for the small amount of motivation I had today that got me dressed and out of the house. Success!

Preface

Disclaimer: I've tried this 'blog thing' out before and was never sure what to tell ya. Fighting my uncertainty (and natural awkwardness) was difficult; consequently, I failed at being a blogger.


I'm a major fan of fashion blogs and have always fantasized about having my own... eventually. Granted, I'm a student who is always a little late and allergic to the cold and the rain (regardless, Oregon is my home and I still adore it), in turn, most of the time my style consists of ways to make the trends and pieces I love warm and semi-waterproof.

Who knows what I'll actually post on here. Likely an assortment of what I wear, what I wish I wore, what I think, like, do... 
I think I just cracked a door open into my life so welcome in and stick around.
