Smells like Team Spirit

IU1 IU2 IU3 IU4 IU5 IU6

In case you didn’t already know, I am a proud graduate of Indiana University, the greatest school in the universe, located in Bloomington, the greatest college town in the universe. There are enough IU alums and fans in Indianapolis to make me feel at home, but there’s still something special about going back to visit my alma mater. I’m sure those of you who went to a great, though inferior, college feel the same way.

I went to Bloomington on Saturday to visit friends and watch [one of] the greatest college basketball team[s] kick some Gopher butt! If you’re a Minnesota fan, I hope this doesn’t affect our friendship.

We didn’t actually go to the game, just watched with other energetic fans at a bar. I decided to walk the line between my usual weekend style and showing some team spirit. Here’s how it turned out!

I hope you all had a great weekend, and if you haven’t seen it already, be sure to check out the giveaway that I just posted yesterday!

First Day Jitters

Yesterday was my first day interning for the state attorney general’s office! After a few weeks of being lazy, I actually had to set an alarm and get up while it was still dark. I know it’s winter, but it is just unnatural for a human being (this human being, anyway) to get up before the sun. We are not nocturnal creatures. Except during undergrad.

Normally, this will be a business casual gig, but for my first day I wanted to come off looking as profesh as possible. Next step: stop using the word “profesh.”

Classes start back up next week, so for the next few months you’ll get to see a good mix of both casual and office-appropriate outfits. Something for everyone, right?!

One more thing: Do you like my necklace? If so, you’re in luck, because very soon you’ll have the chance to win one of your own! Check back tomorrow (Saturday 1/12) for the giveaway. Follow me on Facebook or Bloglovin’ so you don’t forget (you’ll need to follow me to be eligible to enter anyway).
