15/15: Set You Free

I'm done! I present to you, my last 15 for 15 look. It's among my top three favorites and I feel like it embodies my personal style perfectly. There's a clean silhouette, simple accessories, and a basic color palette. The gorgeous sunset in the background doesn't hurt either. Now I can't wait to style up the rest of my closet that I've been neglecting. It's going to be weird having so many options again and I don't know if that'll make it easier or harder to pick out what I want to wear in the mornings.

This past week has been absolute chaos and I can't even keep track of everything that's going on. I feel like I've gone from one Jen to an entirely different Jen (who's kind of reckless). I'm gonna try to take some time to just relax, slow down my life, and finish up the work I need to get done. My friend from high school picked me up earlier so we could go on a photo adventure and that's exactly what I needed right now. Despite the cold weather, it was nice just exploring abandoned areas and bonding with my camera. :)

14/15: Caught the Pox

14/15: Caught the Pox

I'm definitely coming down with a cold right now and my body is shutting down. My mind is feeling a little bit foggy and it's hard to concentrate on anything or get any food into my system. Maybe it's all the stress that's making my cold more intense than it actually is. I feel nauseous when I'm hungry but then when I eat I can't seem to stomach my food. I'm going to work on getting better because, like my mom says, your health is one of the most important things you have.

I decided to mix two kinds of patterns in this outfit (because obviously one kind of pattern isn't epic enough). I feel like I have some kind of chicken pox but instead of red dots they're black. I actually never had the chicken pox as a child (besides 3 dots I got on my forehead when my brother had chicken pox). Then in high school I got my blood tested and lo and behold apparently I'm immune to chicken pox. I'm not sure why I'm talking about chicken pox but happy hour is getting to me a little bit.

The next post is my last 15 for 15 post - bet you guys thought it would never end! :P It's definitely one of my favorite looks though and I can't wait to share it with you guys.

13/15: Give Your Reasons

Here's my next 15 to 15 look. I kept it really casual and this is usually what I look like when I'm walking from class to class. Simple. Clean. I don't really feel like writing much today since I'm feeling a bit blue but check back soon for my next look.

12/15: Shoot Down the Stars

12/15: Shoot Down the Stars

This is one of my favorite 15 for 15 looks so far (mainly because I of these tights - I haven't worn them in way too long). I remember people always telling me when I first started blogging that white tights were super hard to pull off. These white tights definitely make it easier though since they're so sheer and also have a simple floral pattern on them. Makes me feel like there's a mini-snow storm on my legs (and we definitely could use a lot more snow this winter in my opinion).

My roommate Monisha took these photos and it also just happens to be her 22nd birthday today! We're going out to dinner later to celebrate and we're probably going down to Atlantic City for the night. I'm going to be exhausted tomorrow morning but it'll all be worth it. Now I just have to make sure I get all my work done this afternoon. I'm definitely loading way too much on my plate right now but I can't stop! I definitely think I strive on stress to some extent - my mom keeps reminding me to slow down. But since I have about 30 minutes to breathe right now I'm going to make some Ramen and do nothing until it's time to run out the door again. :)

11/15: Girl Worth Fighting For

Lately I've been stressed out beyond belief with all the non-stop work I've been having to do with classes, Circle K, and my job. Either something's going wrong because of a million curve balls being thrown my way or I run out of time to get everything done in a timely manner. Sometimes I let it overwhelm me and it just knocked me out today so I skipped my evening class to sleep and do absolutely nothing before insanity took over. There's nothing better than sitting around doing nothing with my roommates. We're currently watching Mulan and obnoxiously sitting along to every single song. I'm pretty sure we all know the entire movie by heart.

I should be going to bed now because I have to get up early tomorrow. Too bad I'm wide awake because I took a power nap before. I thought it'd be a good idea to nap because I had a meeting an hour away but then it got cancelled and now I'm up late watching Mulan. Living the life - obviously. :P I keep on having midnight snacks too! Actually, I guess now it would qualify as a 2 AM snack. Late night snacks are both amazing and dangerous. Isn't it true that you shouldn't really eat before going to bed? Whoops! Guess bad habits stay around for a while. I'm not gonna out grow this habit for a loooong time.

10/15: We Have Left Nothing to Chance

10/15: We Have Left Nothing to Chance

I just realized I'm the slowest person ever when it comes to doing these 15 for 15 looks. I guess I've gotten to the point where I'm too busy to post everyday so it ends up taking me a month to post all the looks. My days have been pretty crazy lately (in a good way) and I never seem to be sleeping anymore. Good thing I'm spending today just bumming around, watching movies, and doing some busy work. There's no other way I would want to spend my lazy Sunday.

I'm feeling a little bit homesick right now since it's Chinese New Year. My Facebook news feed is being flooded by pictures of enormous home-cooked meals celebrating the new year. My family and I don't really make a big deal out of celebrations like this so I didn't go home at all. Maybe I'll celebrate tomorrow by setting off some fireworks I bought over the summer when I went down to Virginia. Then maybe I'll make some fried rice and dumplings for dinner. Gonna go all out Asian tomorrow. :)
