26: Flatline

Cargo jacket: Nordie's | Plaid: American Eagle | Tank: F21 | Skirt: J.Crew | Flats: Me Too Patty (different color) | Bracelets: Target | Watch: Fossil | Earrings: Target

I feel like someone pulled the fire alarm in my brain and all the thoughts evacuated and now I just want to sit and stare at a wall and drool or something.

(First final in T-3 days probably has something to do with this. I hope)

Ever wonder what the Cullens would look like wearing plaid? Ya welcome

24&25: Up/Down + Love/Hate

Blazer: Jennifer Lopez for Kohl's | Tank: F21 | Skirt: Worthington | Shoes: Sam Edelman Portney | Bracelet: J.Crew | Earrings: F21

If you're like, "hold the phone, where's that blazer been all 30 for 30" the answer is hiding. In the closet. Mocking me. Because if we're getting all deep dark secrets up in here, I've got to tell you guys, I really don't like this thing at all.

I don't like that it's shiny. I don't like that it's a half size too small. I don't like that it's about an inch too short. I don't like that it's my second favorite animal print and somehow goes with nothing. Let this be a lesson unto you: even if you like to wear your blazers open, don't try to cheat tailoring by sizing down. You can take things in, YOU CAN'T MAKE THEM BIGGER. LE DUH, SAM. LE DUH.

So today's escapades in python blazerdom only half shock me. I'm shocked that the dressed up look I wore to work is one of my favorites from my whole 30 for 30, but I knew before I even left the house that the casual look I wore to class would easily be in my bottom three. I'm going to give it another whirl when I have my whole closet to work with, but I don't have a heck of a lot of confidence that it's going to change my mind. 

Cargo jacket: Nordie's | Blazer: Jennifer Lopez for Kohl's | Sweater: H&M | Jeans: Victoria's Secret | Booties: Betsey Johnson Ziah | Scarf: apt. 9 | Earrings: Target

And if this outfit is giving you deja vu... yeah.

22: Workin' On My Fitness

Sweater: Target | Shirt: Victoria's Secret | Skirt: J.Crew | Shoes: Sam Edelman Portney | Watch: Fossil | Bracelet: J.Crew | Earrings: Target | Monogram necklace: eBay

Tomorrow I have to drive three and a half hours for my bar fitness interview. 
Common questions: do you have to do pushups? Run laps? Is this like bootcamp? I can see how you'd think that, but no. IT'S BETTER. You get to drive all the gas out of your car to spend twenty minutes with a room full of strangers while they politely evaluate whether you're going to turn out to be a serial killer or some other PR disaster for the legal profession before they admit you to the bar.

(If you're reading this, bar examiners, the answer is no.)

I. am. so. psyched.
I hope you guys will forgive me for breaking my 30 for 30 tomorrow afternoon when I don my interview Batsuit. Duh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh nuh BAT GIRL! I usually wear all black when I'm seriously suiting up 1) because LC told me to, 2) because it's easy, and 3) because it reminds me of that time I tried to be a goth kid freshman year of high school but my parents wouldn't let me dye my hair or wear black lipstick so I cut up all my shirts and wore dog collars instead. Those were the days.
