In search of a school bag

Fall semester begins in less than two weeks and I am in search of a grown up bag. For the past year I’ve carried a light brown fabric messenger bag from American Eagle (seen here). I bought it at least 5 years ago, used it for a couple months and then put it away (read: forgot it existed). Last year I unearthed it from the bottom of my handbag trunk and used it for most of the year. As much...

Unpopular Opinion

I won’t be wearing fluoro/80’s esque trends this season. I’m not akin to buying trendy clothing items for only one season. On second thought, I absolutely adore the way an all neutral outfit looks with a pop of chartreuse, so I might try it with a bracelet or necklace. I like the trends, but I don’t see myself wearing them. Drape Dress With Flower Crochet Trim ...

Update and Summer Sandals

First and foremost, I want to thank everyone who continues to read my blog. I have been a neglectful blogger these past weeks and I apologize for that. My posts are usually centered on what I wear to work, one of the reasons it was so easy to post is that I didn’t have a dress code. I wore what I normally would if I were going to class, hanging out with friends or running errands. I start...

I wanted to let my readers know that I just added DISQUS to allow comments from non-Tumblr users (this also means Tumblr readers can comment without having to reblog). I also changed the layout a bit and used one of my favorite colors, light pink, as an accent. Take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks for reading, Valerie
