Rainy Lunch Date w/ the Girls

Woah, woah, woah, is this the first post of 2017? And it’s already February 1?? That’s waaaaay too long. Ever since my last blog post, when finals mode kicked in, my busy life has been going non-stop since then, and it still is! I’m completely exhausted- but I’m not complaining! Yes, I’ve been driving from one place to another and hardly spending any time by myself, but mostly because I’ve been given SO many amazing opportunities to fill my schedule with! Whether it be the All-District choir concert, or just hanging out with my girls, I’ve been having a blast doing so many things I love. What I HAVEN’T been doing (and I HAVE been missing so incredibly much) is blogging! What the heck, Katherine?! Not to fear, I’m back and hoping to really keep my blog going, despite the chaos that is everyday life. So to ring in the new year (a little late, but better than never), I’ve decided to start with a fashion post from our girls’ lunch date, with a few added pictures of my friends ’cause they’re just too cute to not include. (;

It’s Fall, Y’ALL!!!

Seriously, what’s not to love about fall? The leaves on the ground are varying shades of red,  yellow, and orange, the temperature cools down just enough but not too much, the best Starbucks seasonal drinks start coming out, and the fashion only gets cuter! So to be in spirit of the season, why not write about one of my favorite and most simple fall outfit that works for nearly any occasion? I actually highly suggest you take your own spin on this look and make it your own, because it’s so easy to recreate and change up (brown boots for black, striped shirt for white, etc.). The possibilities are absolutely endless! Yay for fall and new and cozy outfits! Enjoy! (:

Trend Obsession: Lace Trimmed Sweaters

Boy, it sure is getting colder and colder here in Missouri! Wow, I was not made for this weather. Oh well, at least cute boots and sweaters can somewhat make up for it! Right now I’m currently going nuts over dresses and sweaters with lace trims at the bottom- they are absolutely adorable! I don’t know what it is, I guess the lace just adds that extra “pizzazz” to the ensemble, you know? (:

Black Friday: Deals You Won’t Want to Miss

If you can’t tell from my plethora of fashion related blog posts and how excited I get at when I’ve bought something on sale, I LOVE BARGAINS. So naturally, Black Friday is probably one of my favorite times of the year (and also one of the most dangerous times as well, my wallet takes a huge hit). Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those people that goes and waits in a line on Thanksgiving night just to get the thing I want- I wouldn’t want to sacrifice family time for something that small. However, I will so take up any chance I can to go shopping without sacrificing anything major, except for my money of course. (: So to help all you crazy people like me who are obsessed with shopping as well, I’ve created a list of my favorite deals this Black Friday that you definitely won’t want to miss.

Top 7 Homecoming Trends: 2016

With homecoming right around the corner for some of us (mine’s in a little less than a month, eek!), it’s just about time to find a dress. Wait; sorry, hold on. It’s not time to find just any dress, no, it’s time to find THE dress. However, with the countless department stores, boutiques, and websites out there with (I kid you not) thousands of dresses, where the heck do you even start?!

Makeup Tutorial: Girls’ Night Out

An unforgettable, amazing night with your girls by your side calls for unforgettable and amazing makeup to match the occasion. I’ve got just the recipe written out for you guys to have the perfect makeup for your girls’ night out, AND it’s not going to cost you a fortune. It can’t get better than that, am I right?

Quite the Complementary Look: OOTD!

Whew, it’s been quite the week! I’m very happy to say that I’ve finally finished my first full week of sophomore year AND am not failing any of my classes, haha! It’s been a little hectic trying to get into the swing of things, so it’s been a bit since I’ve written and had the chance to post something on here. But hey, it’s the weekend! So here’s to finding the free time to do the things you love, not stressing (too much), and cute school outfits that give you just the confidence you need to get through the day. (;

First Day @ School: OOTD

Well, it’s finally passed! I believe that everyone at my school, thankfully including me, has survived the first day. Yay, time to celebrate! Or cry, or do homework (that’s what I’m taking a break from right now, shh it’s a secret!), whatever floats your boat I guess. While I definitely love school and all the friends that I’ve met because of it, I am the kind of person to stress out about the tiniest of things, making each and every assignment a PAIN. But no worries, more blog posts about school, study habits, and how to deal with stress or being overwhelmed will come later! Before that point though, I do want to fit in some posts about fashion while I still actually feel like dressing cute for school (we all hit that point during the school year when you switch from a dress to sweats, admit it). And what better way to introduce my series of fashion throughout the school year than starting off with my first day of school outfit?

Out and About: OOTD

A tee shirt, a pair of classic jeans, and sandals: there’s nearly no better go-to outfit than that. With homecoming coming up this fall, my mom and I headed out to check out the dresses, but as usual, we were running late, haha! I quickly slipped on this cute outfit and headed out the door, ready to go.

Fashion Shifting Towards… the Shift Dress?

If there’s one thing I love more than chocolate, it’s a shift dress. Eh, well I wouldn’t say that actually, chocolate’s pretty good… but the point is, I really really like shift dresses. (: My favorite style is a tank dress (I just added a maroon one to my collection, which happens to be my favorite color, score!), but I’m craving a long sleeve shift dress currently with a bit more of a boho vibe, also a popular choice for many people today.
