The Animal Instinct Within Me


So this is another look I put together for the Snapshot Fashionista Challenges! All of us had to work with the theme of animal print so I pulled out my leopard print tights from hiding and brought out the animal within me (haha...ha...). I actually really love these tights but they make me feel a little bit like a ho when I'm walking from class to class. It doesn't help that I look mad sketchy already lugging around my school bag, camera bag, and tripod. I'm also always heading towards deserted areas.

But enough about me, go check out how the other four girls wore their animal print! :)


(dress urban outfitters, belt forever 21, tights urban outfitters, sandals madewell)

This past weekend was full of ups and downs. The ups definitely canceled out the downs but unfortunately the weekend left off on a stressful note and it's the most recent memory. But focusing on the good, I went to the beach on Saturday night with Jeremy. I've always had a love for the beach since I was younger and my favorite times to go to the beach are at night in the fall. It's deserted, a little bit chilly, and the moon is beautiful. Whenever I'm stressed or not really at a good place in my life I like making the drive out to the beach. Looking out into the ocean horizon makes me feel so insignificant and for once it's not about me and my problems. I guess it's my form of therapy.

  5. You are so beautiful Jen! I love how you are making these amazing sandals work in the fall. Also, you look the furthest thing possible from trampy in those tights! I daresay you look classy ;). I love the simplicity of this black dress and the belt. You are a master of styling, dearest. :)

  8. I love how subtle the animal print is on your tights. They're a great print to wear to work and out.

  9. Haha no way you should feel like a ho when you wear those tights-- they're very subtle and no enough to cause a wild scene. Unless you continue your suspicious habit of creeping around abandoned places with your camera.

    I totally do the same too, though I'm not nearly as audacious or discreet enough to bring along my tripod! Kudos to you on that. :D

    Awww, that's a good form of therapy. I've been driving lots more with Mr. Buggabug's top down.. that is my therapy, my friend.

  16. I always have a thing for those sandals of yours! And those leopard tights are nothing but FAB! I always wonder how you gorgeous girls find such pattern tights at store like Urban Outfitters but I don't seem to even know that they ever exist in those stores lol I guess it's just me! I love the afternoon beach too. I usually would just go there after class / work, brought some food, put up a blanket and watch the stars! Love is good!

    Have a more than great one, darl! (:

  18. I dig how you juxtaposed the brown/tan of the sandal soles with the tan of your belt. It's a very subtle detail that brings everything together so beautifully.

    I also dig how your animal print is so subtle and understated. It's elegant, but still edgy.

    Blogging is my therapy, but also my curse. I read fashion blogs too much and end up wanting to shop, even though I'm on a particularly stringent budget right now. Basically, buying anything but the errant lipstick is undoable. :(
