This is an outfit I wore over the weekend to have lunch with my old freshman roommate, who lives in California, so I haven’t seen her in YEARS. Part of the fun – or horror – of going to college is getting thrown into a tiny room with a random person whom you may or may not like. Your freshman roomie is probably someone you’ll never forget, either because he/she was your very first friend in college, or because he/she was the freak of all freaks. Lucky for me, mine was the former!

We spent Sunday reminiscing about the good ol’ days (the parts we remember, anyway) and catching up on how our lives have changed since then. I think we’ve matured, but only slightly. Here’s a picture of us in our dorm room in 2003, and us today! We’re kind of like wine…age has only done good things for us.

20120829-164859.jpgI wore this for a nice long day in the library. Last time I wore this dress was for work, and I wasn’t that excited about how I styled it. This time I decided to have a little fun with print mixing so that made me happy (I’m pretty easy to please). Normally a busy print layered on top of another print under a bead-tastic necklace would make my eyes want to take the rest of the day off, but I like this because everything is in the same color scheme. Or am I so overwhelmed with the new school year that I only think I look awesome? Wait, don’t answer that.
