cut it out



leggings, Sparkle and Fade

The weather was so wonderful that it almost felt like Spring (well just three more days til it actually is)! So I couldn't help but buy fresh flowers for my studio and pull out my Gucci sunnys in small celebration! To brighten my mood even more,I was able to enjoy my day off in complete relaxation. I started my morning by Keely and I going to yoga and having a yummy breakfast of egg whites, fresh fruit, and mango green tea. After my afternoon business meeting at Abbi PR Firm, I curled up on the couch to watch "Conviction." And of course in between,I tried to finish up some more Core Humanities assignments (uh cannot wait to be done with the class and have a life!). It is crazy how the day goes by and now it's almost time to dress warm in green and head downtown for some green beers with good friends in celebration of St. Patty's Day.

I just got these mesh cut out leggings from UO. When I saw the leggings online, I fell in love with how from behind they appear as solid black leggings,until you turn around. The placement of the mesh and solid material makes it so you're showing just enough skin; it comes across as being modestly sexy (I guess that is more of an oxymoron than an actual word huh). Regardless that my sis says it looks like I am wearing thigh highs and booty shorts,I just think it makes a basic pair of leggings quite interesting, not "scandalous" (haha as she kept saying).

Hope you all enjoyed your St. Patrick's Day!


peace&love

" I really do live for the future , because when I'm eating a box of candy, I can't wait to taste the last piece. I don't even taste any of the other pieces, I just want to finish and throw the box away and not have to have it on my mind any more. I would rather either have it now or know I'll never have it so I don't have to think about it. That's why some days I wish I were very very old-looking so I wouldn't have to think about getting old-looking'

I have had a severe head cold the past few days, probably because my immune system has been weakening due to stress and the cold weather. And since I could not justify another sick day from classes, I forced myself out of bed to take on this rather warm Tuesday. I resisted the urge to stay in my sweats and changed into this outfit to disguise my sickness; mainly because I hate looking as bad as feel. I swear it is the days that I feel the worst that I actually try harder with my outfits. Go figure.
I found my inspiration in a Nylon Lookbook and added my own Native American touch with the poncho, leather bag, and a single feather earring (not pictured). I thought the ripped tights made it more rough looking and tied in with the ripped cutoffs. I did a quick frenchbraid with my bangs and left my natural waves from air drying my hair the night before for an overall effortless outdoorsy look.
