Trend I'm Loving: Velvet
Velvet by danamkg featuring asos shoes
Velvet is a wonderful fabric that is surprisingly versatile. It can be paired with fur and metallic pieces and be very lux, or be dressed down with leather and studs for an edgy look. Also, velvet and lace is a classic, girly pairing. Whatever your style is, velvet pieces would be a great addition to your wardrobe.

Yesterday my dad and I went up to New York for the day to go shopping. It was a gorgeous day to be out and about, and I got a lot of cool things. In this photo I’m wearing my coat, which I wear pretty much every day, but I think I’ve only posted it once before on my blog. I got it...

Three things to do if you are bored over break:
Holiday breaks are wonderful, but sometimes you can get bored. Maybe you are on a trip and still on a different time zone then everyone else, like I am. Sometimes plans fall through and you find yourself sitting at home with nothing to do. Whatever your situation is, here are some ways to entertain yourself:
1. Get crafty!

Today I hung out with my friend Audra and packed for out trip. My parents and I are going to visit my mom’s family tomorrow for Christmas. It will be fun once we get there, but I really don’t like airplanes, so I’m not so excited about that. Also, I’m not sure how much I will be...

Everyday Adventures
Scarf: Jujubes
Shirt: Value Village
Cardigan: GoodWill
Skirt: Forever 21
Tights: Nordstrom
Not the most exciting outfit, but this is what I wore to hang out out with my friend Olivia yesterday. This sweater has been one of my favorite pieces this fall and winter. It wasn’t more than $5 at GoodWill and I wear it many times a week.

Perspective
Sweater: GoodWill
Shorts: GoodWill
Tights: Payless
Flats: Type Z
Today was the last day of spirit week and my last day of school before winter break! thank goodness. It was Ugly Sweater Day, so I wore this sweater from GoodWill. It’s probably not my ugliest sweater, but I thought it was sort of festive. Then again, I love “ugly” sweaters, so what do I know?

Peace Out
Dress: My Mom
Boots: Minnetonka
Today each class got a decade and the sophomores were the 60’s. I decided to go for the hippy look, because I knew my mom had this great tie-dye dress I could borrow. I pared it with moccasins and braided my bangs back to complete the effect.

Boots: Nordstrom Emmy and I were twins today for Twin Day. Here’s a sort of bad picture of us: Not many people are doing this spirit week, but I’m having fun, so i guess that’s all that matters.

Today was T.V./Movie/Book Character Day, and so I was Gretchen from Mean Girls. Mean Girls is definitely one of my all time favorite movies. I own it on iTunes and have seen it so many times and the jokes never get old! In these pictures I pinned my hair under to look short liker hers, but I was...

Spirited
Shirt: I painted
Cardigan and Shorts: Value Village
Tights: Harriet Carter
Flats: Urban Outfitters
Today is class colors day and the sophomore color is black. We get the easiest one, because most people wear black anyways. The other colors are white, silver and red, so I wore this shirt with silver and red on it just to show school spirit in general. Tomorrow is TV/movie/book character day,...

Updates
Sorry I haven’t posted in awhile, I promise I will tomorrow. This weekend has just been pretty busy. Also, it gets dark so early now, and that has made taking pictures difficult. This is my last week of school before winter break, so hopefully after this week lighting wont be so much of a problem.
It’s spirit week this coming week at my school. This means you should be prepared for...

Day After Day
Shirt: My Dad
Belt: Thrift store
Skirt: Olivia
Tights: Harriet Carter
Boots: Nordstrom
In the second picture I look sort of depressed, but I thought it worked with the theme of the outfit! Today was a pretty average day. I was going to go to a salsa dance class with a friend tonight, but then she couldn’t go, so I think I’ll just go to zumba. I hope you are doing well.

And Then I Don't Feel So Bad
Headband: I made
Scarf: Jujubes
Cardigan: GoodWill
Dress: H&M
Boots: Nordstrom
This cardigan has been my favorite pieces lately. It’s super warm and the perfect fall/winter color. The only problem is it’s not very photogenic sometimes, so I have to take a lot of pictures to find one where it looks good. But that hasn’t stopped me from wearing it twice or more in a week!...

Contrasting Opinion
Hat: Urban Outfitters
Dress: Sammy
Tights: Harriet Carter
Shoes: Urban Outfitters
I thought I’d lost this hat at camp or something, but then last night I randomly found it on a shelf in my closet. It adds a grungy touch to what would have been an otherwise very girly outfit. Not that all girly is bad, but I think outfits with some sort of contrast are more interesting. A classic example...

Shoes: Urban Outfitters
Still feeling sick today :/ I really want to be better for this weekend, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. This scarf is great for if you are tired because it’s like a giant, warm, built-in pillow. I’ve now worn it for three days in a row, and I may...
