The Closet Check
I love that even when I try to organize my closet, it still looks like a wreck. It’s very reflective of my life as a college student — I’m always on-the-go and a little scatterbrained. My closet has two built-in bins where I keep my winter hats and scarves, but other than that, I have no other organizational accessories. Maybe it’s time for me to add some.
Creating The Fits
I wouldn’t say that I follow one particular style, but I love dressing up for any occasion. Typically, I gravitate towards softer colors and romantic, flowy pieces. I prioritize both comfort and giving the illusion that I have my life together.
What I’d Wear To: An Internship Interview
I found this top while thrifting and fell in love with it. Both my pants and loafers are from Princess Polly, and my watch was handed down to me from my grandma. I don’t believe in sacrificing style for professionalism — the two can coexist, as I hope to prove!
What I’d Wear To: Class
I actually wore this to class 30 minutes after I took this picture, so bonus points for authenticity. When I don’t wear sweatpants, I like to dress up for class, purely for my own enjoyment. I cashed in on an Abercrombie gift card for these black pleated pants, as well as some PacSun points for this sweater. These Doc Marten Oxfords are a wardrobe staple (except they always give me blisters).
What I’d Wear To: A Date Night
Don’t sleep on Target for dresses — this one makes me feel like a princess. I’m also really into bows at the moment — I think this one is from middle school? — along with this locket necklace I got from Etsy.
What I’d Wear To: A Weekend House Party
I like to wear something that isn’t restrictive, so I can dance more! Flared leggings for parties has become my default — so cute and cozy. I don’t know what to call this half-shirt look, but whatever it is, I’m its No. 1 fan.
