Back to Basics

H&M denim jacket / De Masque taupe shirt / Forever 21 necklace / H&M pants / H&M flats / Forever 21 handbag / Steve Madden aviators

With a hoard of classes on Tuesdays, I like to keep my outfits more laidback and comfortable. This would be considered more of my casual side... You can't go wrong with a denim jacket over anything! Usually, I would be adorning my backpack but sadly, my Jansport of about 7-8 years has officially died. The strap broke off suddenly when I was carrying back to the apartment during the week so I'm hunting for a new one. I have a Victoria Secret backpack back at home but it's not as sturdy for days when I need to carry my laptop and such. Talking about carrying a heavy load, it was horrendous trying to walk back to the apartment at the end of the day with just a handbag! That, and walking up those SF hills... whew, a workout!!!

Polka Dotted Blues

Gifted top from friend / H&M shorts / Papaya cardigan / Love Culture belt / Target tights / Payless flats

This outfit dated a couple of days back, with blue as the main theme. I played with different shades of blue while adding on some fun print along the way. Tying the bow gave me extreme frustration since it just wouldn't cooperate. I tied it too many times to even count the tries. Finally, it somehow just worked when I became quite hopeless. The polka dots on the shirt are of neon green, even though you can't really tell through the pictures. In real life, it's actually more noticeable.
