20120820-210013.jpgMonday was the first day of classes in my second year of law school. And just like any other first day of school, I was excited to pick out my outfit. I did my back-to-school shopping (even though I haven’t physically grown out of clothes in about 12 years, I feel I emotionally grow out of them, and also I like to shop), so I was ready to wear some of my new clothes!

Because my summer is over, and I’ll be schooling instead of working, you’ll be seeing sort of a shift in my style from business casual to grad school casual. Hopefully you’ll still enjoy reading!

Happy birthday to me! I turn 27 today. (This is the part where you take to the comments and tell me I don’t look a day over 19.) Having a birthday on Monday is pretty lame, but I wore this yesterday to go out to a bar and celebrate with friends. I forgot to take a single picture of the event, but I swear I really do have friends.

This was just a regular old bar, not some fancy club, so I wanted to be casual but still wear something a little special (it was my party, after all). I just got this skirt from Anthropologie, and with a tee and wedges it was pretty much perfect. Hello…it has castles on it. How can you go wrong? And if you want to do print mixing but don’t feel like finding the prints yourself, this skirt does the work for you.
