Sick Comfort

F21 harem sweatpants | Ash heeled tennies | Rayban Wayfarer sunglasses | 

I've finally obliterated the last of my cold after crazily dosing up on my vitamin C intake. I had one of those days where you just needed some fresh air despite the runny nose and sinus headache. Hence, I dressed warmly, put on some acceptable sweats (which I found also in black!), donned a scarf, and headed over to Jack and Jills for a really late brunch. After a sip of the most excellent English Breakfast tea latte, I was satisfied in submitting back to the indoors and took a nap. I've recently gotten into Pinterest (yes, I'm a tad late)... check it out on pinterest.com/danceinmycloset, when my blog fails to entertain.

Cerulean Dress

It's been hectic. And I think for the first time, in a realllllly long time, Airborne and Zicam has failed me. I'm sick. I'm just glad that my midterms are over. After taking multiple second looks at this dress, the sale price of $14.99 finally convinced me. The dropwaist length is not as unflattering as I was afraid it would be and the color is actually...amazing.
Additionally, I was able to get some photos of my nails before they overly chipped. It's super easy! I just got a skinny nail brush and tapped the length side of it onto my nail to create little notches in a chevron pattern. You don't have to actually "draw" the lines. Otherwise, my right hand would look like a total mess.

Lace Peplum

As previously mentioned, this velvet blazer is years old. Every time I wear it, my mom manages to snicker and alludes to how I hated wearing it to every orchestra performance, piano recital, choir event, etc. when I was in grade school. It was the go-to jacket which she made me put on over my otherwise "too cold for outside" dress. At that time, the jacket probably looked a little overly 80's on my small frame. For some reason, I find it difficult to wear a peplum top without pairing it with a pencil skirt. However, worn under the blazer, it seemed to work with my jeans. Is it just me, or do H&M jeans never lose their stretch despite a million washes in the laundry?
Additionally, I decided to cut another one of my maxi dresses to create the side slit rather than to continue searching for one. It was hard to walk in anyway. My maxi dresses tend to have a short closet-life. They've since become calf-length, hi-low, and now with a slit (coming soon).
