New Place, First Day

Day One by reluctantlyadultish featuring sterling silver jewelry

For my degree, I have to take a few classes in a co-related field, and since they don't have what I want at my university, I take them at a different school. This means that I am dealing with professors and students I don't already know. So I try to look as professional and presentable as possible the first days of the semester to make a good impression.

I got this dress as a Christmas present, and it's really great. I like to pair it with simple shoes and accessories so as not to clash with the plaids. As a bonus, it's a really comfortable fabric, and it even has pockets.

Acid Pop

I don't know what it is, but I really love this little acid wash denim dress from SimplyBe. It's kind of ugly, but in a really great way, and it just begs for some colorful accessories, like a pink hat and striped bag.

Blizzard Chic

There's a blizzard in the forecast. Oh frabjous day. Also I have my first class of the semester tonight. Callooh callay. As much as I'd like to make myself look super professional for that, weather wins out, so I'll bundle up in a big sweater with a thick scarf instead.

A Mighty Tee

OK, I'm here to admit my geekery, as if it hasn't been obvious before. I love this t-shirt from Target. It's really soft and comfy, but also looks cute styled like I did above or with some leggings and a vest or jacket. I love pairing this faux-leather moto vest over it. There are so many ways to wear a cute graphic tee and dress it up or down.

Call Me

My hair is a little bit of a disaster in some of these, but I love my outfit so I had to take pics anyway. The Debbie Harry t-shirt and blue plaid skirt are both from Asos, the leggings are Philosophy (I got them at TJ Maxx), and the boots you can barely see are from DSW.

I think I like the outfit better with the shirt untucked.

Worth the Price

Guac by reluctantlyadultish featuring a flared skirt

Well, I'm breaking a personal rule with this one. I haven't mentioned it before, but I don't want to post clothing that I could not personally buy based on size. This t-shirt came across my computer screen while I was poking around the Delia's going-out-of-business sale, and it was not available in any plus sizes. I don't believe any of their clothes are (hey, maybe that's why you're going out of business...). But it would be so easy to dupe this with a plain green tee and iron-on letters that I couldn't resist.
