So after quite a long hiatus, I am back to blogging! After my first post I had a whirlwind of final exams, then I got sick after finals, recovered enough for Christmas celebrations, then relapsed and got sick again after Christmas day. When I was finally well my last week of winter break, I took these pictures with Lauren (shown above enjoying her coffee at Shoes) in Leesburg. I love Leesburg and all of the quaint shops and restaurants in the Downtown area.
Since I was sick for the majority of my 3-week winter break, I spent a lot of time watching movies, especially old movies (post on that coming soon). But because of this lump-on-a-log mentality, and how my break was in general (see my New Years, here or here) I was not ready to get out of my relaxation station and go back to school. Nevertheless, I had to go back to JMU and prepare for a semester of difficult business classes.
I have always firmly believed in the statement “Dress for
Success” and even if I was, or still am, not mentally ready for classes, I can
at least dress like I am. In college,
each year I have the opportunity for two different “first day” outfits since we
have new classes each semester. This
look, ponytail and all, is about as school-girl I can get while still
maintaining my college-level style maturity.
My outfit here mostly comes from my sister’s closet, but I’ve tried
to find similar pieces that I’ve listed below.
I could not find my sister’s necklace anywhere, but I am
fairly certain she bought it at Charming Charlie a while ago. However, I did find earrings at CC that were similar to the ones I wore.
My favorite back to school item was my new Kate Spade agenda that I got for Christmas! Being
organized and cute makes going back to school a little less painful.
What’s your favorite/ least favorite part about going back to school? Comment below!
