I'd Rather Waste Time With You

Meet Ari.

She's our unofficial, half, pseudo-roommate. Self-styled English afficiando and conservative political guru...with a little historian and vocal performance on the side. We actually rearranged our apartment this semester and threw a bed in the living room for her. No, seriously. We did. It doubles as a couch during the day.

Anyways, the point is...Ari is our lovely lady friend...and we decided that today was the perfect day to showcase her perfect representation of the college student wardrobe :D





On another note...this outfit has appeared about three other times on this blog this year--all with some variation of STRIPED SKIRT, solid shirt, kitschy necklace, tights, and boots. But I swear, I've never ever ever ever worn this exact combination before. So there.

To start off with:
THE FRUIT PIZZA!!!





And who can resist boys in aprons???

Don't Forget About Me

Today's post is actually yesterday's...I just never got around to it because I have spent eight hours working on wedding invitations!!! I had this brainy little idea that I should layer paper, cut 3" strips of grosgrain ribbon, fork both ends, glue it to the paper, and then proceed to apply two miniscule stick-on pearls to each invite. For some reason, I thought that would be simple and swift??? I know, real smart of me.

Thankfully I had some help from the lovely Drayton Wesley and my roomies/friends, or I never would have finished in time. Blah. Anywho...for the outfits...




(It's the Two for Tea necklace Jessica bought me from Classically Romantic!!!)


Tomorrow I will post pictures from our little dinner party at school :) Chicken Saltimbocca and Fruit Pizza, mmmmm!!!

What Are Trees Without Leaves?

Hello there! Before reading any further, check out this kid's music...here. You will probably love it. :)

Is there anything better than a coffee date with your best girls, sunshine, interesting people watching, good music, and a short to-do list?
I don't think so.
Also, it's the perfect day for cuffed, comfy jeans, and a cozy hoodie. "Spring Casual." This spring, I am finding myself gravitating towards nautical stripes and floral patterns...good thing too because they are everywhere in the stores! Love. It. :)

What's your favorite way to spend a Saturday??





Love,
Jess

P.S- Seriously, listen to the music. :)

My Dear Watson

And now for my BRAND NEW and rather FABULOUS clearance coat from Modcloth!!! I just fell all over myself when I saw this on sale for 70% off...because it has the most darling London detective vibe. As a fan of Sherlock Holmes (anybody seen the recent BBC episodic version?), I just couldn't keep my hands off of this beauty :)

And look, it has a button in the center of the back. Seriously, lovely fellow bloggers, does it get any better than this?!

I also recently found my new favourite belt...woven faux leather with tassels. Best thing about this belt is the versatility--it's wrap-and-tie, so I can leave the ends as long or short as I want, and wear it anywhere on my body. Within reason, of course. Trusty ol' H&M. Confession--at this moment, I think at least half my closet is from there!

Also...it's warm here. At last, frozen Minnesota is thawing for Spring. Happy dressing these days!

It Don't Matter What You See

I must begin this post by profusely apologizing for the lack of a "Jessica" photo. This is completely my fault. We had planned to take outfit pics after class today, and I ran amuck in TA work. By the time I was ready for a quick pic, she was gone. Alas!!!

But as for me...I'm again wearing that plaid dress that I truly adore with all my heart (and ironically, both post titles are OneRepublic!). I've said it before...I'll say it again: this dress is just so delightfully easy to wear so many delectable ways. And it's a pleasure every time because the fabric is so soft and loose! C-o-z-y :)




Also throwing in a quick photo from the original Broadway version of the show I'm in this semester. I'm playing Lala Levy in Alfred Uhry's The Last Night of Ballyhoo...it's a fabulous, beautifully written show dealing with the themes of prejudice within ethnic/religious community, specifically Jewish anti-semitism. The show takes place in 1939 Atlanta just when Gone With the Wind premiered...and since my Lala is rather obsessed with Miss Scarlet O'Hara, she just can't resist imitating her style :)
