What I Wore Today: Sunday Best!

School. Moving. Finals. AH. I'll be back soon.

For now, here's my outfit for today, I'm gonna tell you secret, I wore the same dress last night at a jazz show in SF! I can't get out of it :)

Hat: Ross

Dress: Stylemint

Shoes: Therapy ( Seychelles - Cayenne )

Bag: TJ Maxx (London Fog)

I look at this, and see the weight I've put on since I halted from eating anything healthy at all, and just consuming whatever's convenient. That will change soon. Need to be aware of what's happening to my body.  I will lose some weight!

This isn't a very complete outfit post, but I just love these pants! Dylan's print choice is just totally ME!

We supported an artist and its super unique and a great everyday ring!

Thankful.

So today is Thanksgiving.  I have stepped aside from the family soiree, since it has been a full day event, and just wanted to reflect by myself on this weekends events.  Last night, my boyfriend, his brother and I went to one of my favorite services of the year, which is the Thanksgiving Eve service at our church.  This service is great because the youth choir leads the service, and at the end alum from the group come up to the front and sing an old favorite, Simple Things.  It's a really amazing experience, because it just grows and grows each year, and this year I was standing with now alum, that were freshmen when I was a senior in the group.  Time flies.

What was really amazing about this specific service this year, was that the church commemorated 30 years of ministry to two of my biggest mentors.  It is amazing that they have ministered this long, and have made such a huge impact on many peoples lives.  I feel so honored that I have been a part of the group, and that they still care for me, guide me, and they open up their home to me, because they are my boyfriends parents as well! I am praying that they continue to touch lives, even though I know they will!

It was great to be with so many loved ones last night as well, I had a great time, until a killer migrane just attacked me, and then my boyfriend and I had to go.. I was sad that I wasn't able to catch up with some people, and as much as I say I hate small talk, it really sucked that I wasn't able to partake in any at all!! But here are a few pictures that I loved from last night :)

Today, the whole family from my dad's side came over, and we celebrated in our recreation hall at our townhouse complex.  It's still going on right now, but it's always great to be with family.  I have stuffed my face all day, and now my waistband won't fit. :)

Here are some photos: (We didn't eat turkey, we ate lechon)

I am so thankful and so blessed, that I have these amazing people as family.  They are fun, and supportive, and it's just so great! And as always, an outfit posting, but I will warn you, I felt pretty frumpy.

Top: Cotton on

Skirt: Naya from the Philippines

Cardigan: Papaya

Sandals: Crossroads

I hope you all had a great thanksgiving, now it's time to ring in the holiday season!!

What I Wore Today: Lazy School Day.

It was a late morning/another sleepless night.. So I woke up a little later than usual. It was a little chilly out so I decided to go with a simple outfit, a sweater and leggings. Here's my take today on the Fall/Winter go-to.

11.13.12 Outfit:

Sweater: Thrifted - $5
Leggings: Cotton On - $10
Scarf: Target - $14
Flats: Nu Pair - $13
Purse: Ross (Lucky Brand) $70

I love this sweater so much, the cut of the neck is a boatneck, and really exposes the collarbone well, which I love. My problem with Cotton On leggings is that it collects a lot of lint, but they are much more opaque compared to leggings to F21. I have these flats in this camel color as well as black, they are by the brand Soda, which is a really cheap shoe brand since I have bought like 15 pairs of these flats, but no higher quality flat has caught my eye for the price.  The scarf has a really beautiful tapestry pattern and was a great find at my local target. My purse is a little out there for me, but it's a perfect school bag.  My aunt and my mom bought it for me when she was still here in the United States, now it is a memory of her (I need to continue my post series about her.. once midterm retakes are over) So comfy, and I think I will keep defaulting to outfits like this!

What I Wore Today: Brisk Fall Day.

Sorry for the instagram picture, but it's the best I can do right now. It's hard to take outfit pictures with my DSLR.

Today was a day full of errands and working. It was a late night last night since my boyfriend's cousin and his girlfriend were in town briefly.. So this outfit is a bit rushed.  I thought it was going to look pretty out there, and I must say the colors are not very fall like, but turns out I love it! I may put this combo back together in the spring.  Since one of my errands of the day was to do my laundry, most of my go-to fall clothes were dirty.. so I had to turn to my untouched items because I didn't know what to do with them. The green color in the sweater is really obscure, but I love the pop.  The Coral ruffle tank top is such an peculiar shape on it's own.  It's length is also very unflattering, but turns out together.. THEY WORK!
My new boots are my new best friend, I wore them today and yesterday, and they bring a skip to my step, just because the colors make me so happy.. this will probably be my go-to boot in the fall/spring.  Hope you enjoy!
