OOTD: Contrast

Well well well, look who we have here! I am so incredibly happy to say that I am back from my unnecessary hiatus!  It's funny how I told myself that the second I moved back to school, I would immediately start blogging again because I would be on a strict routine.  Little did I know that my strict routine would involve countless hours on campus every day, my weekends filled with getting up at the crack of dawn to work on movie projects, and every ounce of free time I usually spend sleeping. A woman has to get her beauty rest you know!  Let's just say that my caffeine consumption has been at an all time high and I am probably the only reason that the local Starbucks is still in business!  But hey!  I would not change what I am doing with my life with anything else in the world.  Pursuing bachelor degrees in Costume Design as well as in Fashion Merchandising, being president of my college Student Fashion Association, and all my other extra curriculars keep me busier than a bee, but I am surrounded by the most amazing and uplifting friends.  So much love for them!  

Anywho!  As we all know, fall has finally arrived! The air has a certain crispness to it, the leaves are changing colors and falling off their delicate branches, and sunset is coming earlier and earlier with each coming day.  However, for it being late October here in Ellensburg, the weather has been exceptionally warm.  I can last the day with nothing more than a cardigan and not be cold!  That being said, I have been using this as an excuse to continue wearing some of my favorite dresses without fear of the chills.  Yesterday I pulled my black and white polka-dot Urban Outfitters dress out of the back of my closet.  I paired it with a large red elastic belt with a golden clasp to break up the pattern of my dress.  As I typically do in fall and winter, I am wearing black opaque tights to keep my legs warm and stay modest.  I paired the look off with my black over-sized sweater.  Then the neighborhood cat 'Lawrence' came out to play and I just couldn't resist!  Being back at school means I have to be a little more practical with my outfits unfortunately so we shall see what this school year brings!  I plan to share the rest of my journey with all of you!  

With Love,
