Day 46- Haircut

I did it!
I cut it all off, and I'm so glad I did! I was so scared it would look terrible, but I really like it. It's a good change for spring.

I know for a fact they have this skirt in stores, it just isn't on the website.

Day 42- Dreaming of Short Hair

GUESS WHAT GUYS?!!!
I CUT MY HAIR!
 
...
Just kidding, but I wanted to. I spent all of yesterday contemplating whether or not I should chop off my long locks. I've spent almost six years growing out my hair, so I guess I'm a little tired of it. Short hair is just so springy! I was determined to make an appointment and get it done today, but my mom somehow managed to talk me out of it. So instead I pinned all my hair on top of my head to make it look like I had short hair and I took I selfie (it's below this paragraph of text).
So what do all of you think? Should I cut it to my shoulders, or keep it long?

Day 41

Blurry picture. Sadly this is the best shot I managed to get on this cold, rainy day. Luckily all of next week will be sunny, though. I can't wait!
So I bought this weird kimono/vest type-thing around this time last year, and this is actually the first time I've ever worn it. Strange, right? I could never figure out what to pair it with. But today I couldn't figure out what to add to this basic-tank-and-jeans look, so I threw it on. I actually think it worked out quite well.

Days 29, 30, 31, 32, and 33.

Finally had time to get all caught up picture wise this afternoon. I won't get this far behind ever again, I promise.


...Christmas in March? Maybe?



 
This here is my kitty Olive. She's shy, but she's a sweetie.





 
I bought these JuJu jellies last week, and I'm absolutely IN LOVE! They're adorable, and super comfortable. If they appear at my local Urban in more colors, expect me to buy them.




Remember how I mentioned my cat Ella was pregnant a few weeks ago? Well she had her babies! She had three beautiful kittens. They're about two weeks old now. This one is named Tate.

Day 16


The weather here in North Carolina has been especially bipolar lately. Yesterday it was sunny and 70 degrees, and today it was 30 degrees and rainy. The sky was gray and the lighting was bad, so I just snapped this quick photo.

Day 14

Remember that fashion show I mentioned I did last Saturday? Well that had it again today, for the last time, thankfully. It was fun though. Anyways, here's what I wore. I kept it basic since it's best not to dress up when working backstage.
 
 
 
Below is a picture of the dress I created for the show modeled by the lovely Camille Bradley. It's made completely out of Target bags! We were supposed to pick an era and create a dress that would've fit in that time period. Sorry the picture is kind of crummy, the lighting was dreadful. I hope you like it :)

And, of course, my Target dress. Made by me.

Day 10

Okay, so I had to cheat today. I bought a Young the Giant shirt when I went to their concert last Friday, and I couldn't help but wear it today. I know it isn't Urban, I'm sorry. It (probably) won't happen again.

Day 7






Today I was one of the featured designers today at this recycled fashion show in Charlotte. It was actually really cool. I made a 1950's-type dress out of old sheets and Target bags, and I think it got a lot of positive feedback. Anyways, I decided to dress down in one of my beloved cat shirts since I would be working backstage.
Did you notice that little gray cat posing with me? That's Ella, my kitten. She's about 10 months old now.
Want another fun fact? She's actually 7 and a half weeks pregnant! I'll post pictures when the kittens are born.

Of course they no longer sell this tee, so here's a similar one- Cat Face Tee. I know it's technically men's, but cat tee's are universal.

Dr. Martens 1460 Napa 8-Eye Boot

Day 6

Bonsoir, sorry I didn't get to post this yesterday. I had to go to a Young the Giant (I love them so much they were so good) concert right after class got out and I didn't get home till 1 AM. However, I'll try to be on time with my posts from here on out. But anyways, here's what I wore to the concert. 




I love this zodiac constellation necklace I got last week. I'm an Aries, so I bought the one that corresponded with my sign. It looks good with just about everything.

They don't carry this exact BDG denim shirt anymore, but Urban always has a good jean button-down. Here's a similar one- BDG Cropped Chambray Shirt.

This Cooperative crossbody bag is my new favorite thing. I got it from a thrift store last week. Technically it's an Urban item though, since they carry it, so I bought it. They're out of it now, so here's a similar one- Ecote Zip-Front Crossbody Bag
Constellation Necklace

Day 1


Today is the official first day of my Urban Fashion Challenge. As of today, I will wear nothing but Urban Outfitters for an entire year. I'm kind of excited to see how this turns out. Anyways, here's what I wore today. I volunteer at my local library on Sundays, so I kept my outfit basic and comfortable.

I couldn't find my cat tee shirt on Urban's website, so I guess the no longer sell it...here's a similar graphic tee.
