(Oh my gosh I hate the new blogger layout! Also annoyed with how flickr drastically reduces the image quality when uploading. Any suggestions for good image hosting websites?)
My attempt at color blocking. I almost caved to purchase a pair of gorgeous blue and green color block heels on asos but decided against such a trendy shoe and  to attempt the color scheme with clothes already in my wardrobe. I also refrained from getting the JS shoes that everyone else has and opted for these beautiful bow platforms that were banished to the 65% sale section. I fell in love with the thicker heel, the pleated bows, the slight platform, the sturdy ankle strap, the suede (I'm a sucker for suede)...everything. The necklace was only $1! I found it while looking for chains to reuse for jewelry projects. In case you're wondering, the last picture was an odd combination of dust from a car leaving Tim's driveway while we were taking pictures and the setting sun.
I was really bad about keeping up with my to-do list this past week (a 9 hour photoshoot with my friends didn't help the situation...more on that later) so this coming week I'll be cooped up in my room doing catch-up on studying when I'm not at research! I gave up the concept of going out until I graduate in December so I am totally planning a long road trip and/or vacation for next spring! I can't wait to have a break, but knowing me I'll probably sign up for 5 more classes (dancing, cooking, sewing, jewelry-making, the like) because I'm so easily bored with free time...

  19. The skirt is such a beautiful color. It's nice to see something that isn't on everyone else's blog. I'm noticing a lot of high waisted shorts and floral prints around the blogsphere lately. :P

  21. you don't even need to use a photohosting website. there's a little trick how to enlarge photos in blogger, I've been using it for quite some time now and it really works. here's an example: http://www.bloggertricks.com/2009/06/hack-how-to-post-larger-hq-images-in.html

  37. I personally think your shoe choice was spot on, trends come and go- but these classic black heels you scored are fab, and possibly timeless!

    Love that accordion pleated skirt, on man think I need to get on the band wagon and purchase asap before they all sell out!!
