my Saturday pants

  "It is all too easy to let the challenges of life overpower our ability to acknowledge the good we are and the good we do." -Ardeth G. Kapp

sweatshirt: J.Crew // sweatpants: J.Crew // boots: Uggs // watch: Timex // earrings: Nordstrom

If you know me you know I am a sucker for comfy clothes ((past Casual Friday posts)) AND being a dancer.. I am pretty addicted to all types of sweats. This outfit has been worn multiple times this past week while studying, watching Conference, and going to class. I love that the Saturday pant is cute enough for everyday wear but still super comfy. (Disclaimer: I don't love these Ugg's with this outfit, at all really, BUT it was really cold out and my Sperry's just weren't cutting it.)

Other sweats on my Christmas wish list...

Casual Friday: Nike and GapFit

top (similar)/shoes: Nike

pants: GapFit

jacket: Gap

earrings: Target

What I wore to teach Jazz, take Pilates class, and run errands.

GapBody/GapFit is my favorite store (besides J.Crew of course), I love their workout clothes. I also found this amazingly soft top from the Nike factory store for half price AND these shoes for a whopping.... $30! So happy! 

And I am SO happy I bought this jacket - I was skeptical at first but I wear it almost daily. I love it.

oh..and please disregard the sad tired circles under my eyes... sleep will come after finals - and the wedding!

and the hat was first featured here!

Basically I love my NY hat. I wear it at least every other week. It is perfect for my 3rd day - no time to wash hair (which has been happening way too often lately due to my insane schedule). I had to ask my brothers and my dad for permission to buy this hat (they are not Yankee's fans).. I love baseball but don't side with teams too often, I just thought since I love NYC and was living there at the time (and the fact that the Yankee's hat is perfect - navy and white) - I just couldn't resist. My other secret is to buy the kid's size, that way the hat doesn't drown you. 

Casual + Cute.

Happy Thursday - almost the weekend.

I love holidays. 

Holidays that require no school and sales.

I LOVE sales. 

I hardly ever buy anything full price.

Scored this lovely jacket last Friday and I've already worn it 3 times this week...

1.  Monday: all day studying/catching up etc. in the library
2. Tuesday: (outfit pictured above) to school (teach dance and classes) 
3. Thursday: Pilates class

$55 jacket for $15 - Can't beat that!

Thank you President's Day.

Casual Friday: on reapeat...everyday

sweatshirt: H&M (borrowed from sister)

pixie pants: J.Crew

boots: Ralph Lauren

earrings: Nordstrom

This week I had NO motivation to wear cute clothes. Must be because I had lots of catch up to do - I was tired - I had 2 exams - I'm sick..

So it was basically a sweatshirt everyday.

(confession: even on Valentine's Day - about half way through studying I couldn't stand it anymore and went to my dance locker to change into my comfy clothes... what can I say, I'm a comfy girl)

Well - Happy Weekend!

Thanks for stopping by.

Casual Friday: the usual

shirt: Urban Outfitters (FAVORITE T-shirts, I have it in over 10 colors probably)

 sweater jacket: Banana Republic (last season)

sweats (last seen): J.Crew (literally the best sweats on the planet - comfy and cute)

boots: Ugg (old - found in some random NYC shop)

coat: J.Crew Factory (borrowed from Bain)

watch: MK

earrings: J.Crew Factory

I titled this "the usual" because this is literally the best outfit in the world. Grey is my color. Sweats make me happy. I love being comfy.

I am a dancer, I lived my life in sweats but as I've grown up I find it harder and harder to wear them out and about like I used to. These, however, are my PERFECT match. Comfortable sweats like I love, yet super cute and presentable. Match made in heaven.

Also, the high curly ponytail is my favorite hairstyle currently. (If you didn't notice..here, here, here, and here)

a) It is out of my face all day which is great in the winter because my hair is so annoyingly staticy these days. 

b) It's cute - at least I think so.

c) It's easy.

d) It's perfect for days I don't have time/don't want to wash my hair.

e) Taylor's favorite hairstyle on me is when it's all pulled back like this - and he loves ponytails.

f) It stays in place, I don't have to fuss with it all day long.

g) It's great for transitioning from teaching Jazz in the AM to going to class in the PM.

Friday came way too quick - it was an extremely busy week. Fashion show TOMORROW!
(Then I can start wearing the things I made and post pictures!!)

Casual Friday: Dance edition - PINK w/ Jo+Jax

shirt: J.Crew Factory

sweatshirt: PINK Victoria's Secret

leggings: Jo + Jax

shoes: Nike (I designed these in high school back when NikeiD came out)

watch: Nixon

earrings: Target

One of those days: Dance clothes all day long.

and... just because - here is a solo I performed at school a couple years ago.

Happy Friday!
and Happy February!

I seriously cannot believe it's already the second month of 2013!
Only 3 more months until my wedding!
