Like a (Hair) Virgin, Touched for the Very 1st Time

So after yesterday mornings post I did a ton of thinking! Yes, I did try to apply the "steps" and while it did get me thinking about many things I noticed that I do way TOO much for other people; basically I let other peoples ideas/beliefs get in the way of my own. Although I think this is just something all 20-somethings go through, that cliche "discovery"/"finding myself" phase, I can't help but want to do something to break the cycle...so I dyed my hair. Me, the indecisive and predictable girl did it; problem is, you can barely notice a change. I guess my dark brown hair was too much for the lightest golden brown natural instincts hair dye product (any suggestions how to go lighter without breaking the bank? I really want to change it up!). Besides the hair-dye-fail, I decided to mix up my food/meal routine as well (strange again) and made a delicious chocolate smoothie last night for dessert (totally making it again tonight!) and went out last night to socialize with friends I never see; senior year is weird for me--I feel like I never see anyone anymore. Between my homework, internship, job applications and "me" time I rarely have the energy to see old friends--this is all changing! What did I wear last night to the local college bar? I felt more NYC than Narragansett, RI but I loved it nonetheless:

T-shirt: GAP, Blazer: Dalia Collection, Jeans: Forever21, Belt: GEORGE, Wedges: Nine West, Earrings: NYC boutique

How do you change "it" up? Whatever that "it" may be?

Any hair-dying suggestions?

I Love a Bargain

Nothing gets me in a better mood than a good deal...and I got TWO good deals yesterday. The first one being the blazer I am wearing in this post, on sale for $5.00 from Urban Behavior (score!) and the second, free pitchers of Sangria & Tequila shots at Charlie O's last night! This outfit is what I wore to the bar last night, which turned to be one of the best nights out that I have had in a while...

Blazer: Urban Behavior, Tank Top: Target, Jeans: Forever21, Wedges: Forever21 (gifted from S, my photographer!), Watch: Michael Kors, Necklace: Love Shack (store in Delray Beach, FL)

This outfit was comfortable and casual, but I still felt pretty and confident because I was wearing some pretty amazing wedges! What makes you feel confident?

Black, Brown & Blue, Oh My!

Hey Guys! I am running out but I wanted to do an outfit post! I am heading to the mall with two of my friends/fellow volunteers from StyleWeek! I dressed up (a little) because who knows where we will end up...we are going to Providence after all. I never thought I could wear navy blue, black and brown at the same time but I guess I proved myself wrong. Today I'm wearing:

Blazer: Dalia Collection, Tunic: clearance rack at Marshalls, Belt: gifted from Mom, Leggings: Target, Boots: boutique in NYC, Watch: Michael Kors

Trail-Blazer

I finally get to display my new blazer! I just love blazers...love, love, LOVE! They add instant polish to any outfit, and I just feel so grown-up when I wear one. This blazer that I am wearing is from Target, can you even believe that? I love the pinstripe lining, and the long boyfriend-esque fit. Although it is a little loose it is still fitted in the chest and shoulders so it still looks really feminine.

Blazer: Mossimo by Target, Knit T-shirt: Ecote (from Urban Outfitters), Black Jeggings: Forever 21, Boots: BASS, Necklace: Aqua (from Bloomingdales)
