Take Me Out to the Batting Cages
So a few weeks ago, Sybil from Animated Confessions decided to start up a clothing/accessories swap for any one that was interested! One of the items that she offered up was this fantastic red, vintage scarf and I called dibs on it as fast as I could. I had fun styling it but then soon I discovered that the heat was ridiculous and scarves were meant for colder weather. Same goes for my trench coat. Is it horrible to say that I miss layers and coats? I'll regret saying that once it's 20 degrees out and the heat stops working.
(trench coat DKNY, top, skirt [remixed] urban outfitters, belt h&m, wedges seychelles, scarf vintage - swapped with sybil)
On the topic of my blog, someone suggested on my formspring that I should have a blogger feature, and I think it's a great idea! I'll probably get around to it in the next week or so. Is there anything else you guys would like to see? Life has been so hectic recently, but not in a bad way. I'm keeping busy, getting work done, earning some money, and catching up with friends. Oh, and most importantly, getting tons of sleep, of course.
I can't believe July is only a few days away. June seemed to fly by ridiculously fast and I can just imagine the rest of the summer passing in the blink of an eye as well. Before I know it I'll be sitting in class again. Oh, the joy of learning! :P Oh! And in the picture above, you can slightly see the faded scar on the back of my right leg. I woke up one morning and discovered it staring at me. I have no idea how I got it but it proves I'm a horribly violent sleeper.
Don't forget to join the Sway Bowler Hat Giveaway! :)
First, bite your tongue on that weather comment!
ReplyDeleteSecond, how did you notice the scar if it's on the back of your leg?
yay! you got work done tonight hehe. anyway...red and blue can never go wrong! i miss layers too...but it's sort of freeing without all the fuss. i'm a violent sleeper apparently too...i wake up with random bruises and cuts even though i have nothing sharp near me. yay for a blogger feature! can't wait to see who you choooose :) a week of bold colors would be fun too!
ReplyDeletehurray for the red scarf!!! this outfit is so posh, jen!! love how you styled it! :D
ReplyDeletethanks for the shoutout!

ReplyDeleteI feel the same about layers and said so on my blog yesterday. Shame on us.
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf and the trench.
i am seriously coveting your trench coat..it is such a classic. too bad i can never wear that here in PI..it's too warm or humid..hehe.
ReplyDeletei know what you mean about time flying so fast...it's almost the BER months and here in PI, when september rolls around, people start putting christmas decorations..LOL.

A lovely way of styling the scarf although I do get the autumn vibe from it. Dressing in the heat is so much more difficult. I'm seriously in love with your wedges too, they're amazing!
ReplyDeleteAGREEED - that scarf is all kinds of perfect!
ReplyDeletewoww!! really love your scarf's pattern and your cute skirt :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous scarf! I'll be excited to see your blogger features!
ReplyDeletefour thumbs up. i'm always envious seeing your pictures which is super2 natural and beautiful!
ReplyDeletelove,vdcouture
This outfit has a very classic look to it, but it's still playful. It's kind of a more sophisticated version of a catholic school uniform. I love the pop of colour from the scarf.

gorgeous look! I love the skirt
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI have a question all your pictures have a very good quality and the size is big! Now I take my pictures with a Canon EOS 1000D and the quality is also very good but when I upload my pictures the size is small and the quality isn't good. So I really want to know how you do that?
I am sorry for the long message but I really need your help!

I love how the scarf just stands out from the rest of the outfit :) That being said, every piece in this look is great and they're meant to be with each other :) I want those brown wedges. So classic and versatile :)
ReplyDeleteNow go get tons of sleep! ;)

The scarf is divine on you. I love the neutral outfit with the pop by your face. Although I'm with you... I cannot believe you're wearing a jacket and scarf right now!I've been missing layers too. They make adding dimension to an outfit so much easier.
ReplyDeletewhat a cute look ~ very classic!

ReplyDeleteyou look so pretty Jen! and I'm so jealous that you can still wear trench! it was 107 here yesterday
