Class & Cold

Photos by Drew Osumi

Here's typical Syracuse class attire. First, throw on your comfiest jeans. These comfy pair are from H&M of all places. And were only $10?? I was shocked and thought I read it wrong. Especially after I tried them on and never wanted to take them off. Apparently, it's a real thing and that's not just a major markdown. Go get on that. Next, we have the flannel. Remember how I mentioned that I went to Bass Pro Shops while I was in Vegas. Well this was a score from Black Friday there, so you know its legit. Then, we have the vest. Which, honestly, I'm not sure why I have two vests here. The weather man must get a tremendous laugh at my wimpy closet. I guess I just felt tough with a flannel and vest? The important part of this outfit are the Hunter boots. See, I had never heard of them until I came to the East Coast, but who would have known I would live and die in these suckers. Well, hopefully not die, but definitely stay sane in these things. I also notice in the bottom picture that My boots look like they have taken some battle wounds to them. It's just the salt from the ground when there's snow out. It, too, makes me look really really tough. So here, I present you my not so fabulous college-girl-wakes-up-and-throws-on-whatevers-closest attire. Enjoy.

Texture and Color

Photos by Drew Osumi

Not many pictures for this one but I love the bright pops of color on all black. My favorite are the heels; the snake skin trumps it all. I'm so in love with them. They are so neutral but such a statement. As great as they are, they rub it in my face that it's still in the 20's outside and snowing. I don't want to sound defeated and say that I'm completely done with the boots weather, but I cannot wait to be back in 70 degree weather for a WHOLE entire week. Vegas, here I come and that white North Face jacket is not invited! Everything I do will be in the sun. I haven't seen that thing since October.

On the other hand, that white blob is my usual everyday state here in Antarctica weather.

Also, have you seen this? It's great to hear there's still great people out there.

Spring break starts on Friday! ...so that's how my week is going. Midterms are this week and the weather is ridiculously dreary out so I thought I'd play with a dark palette to match. I kind of like how the boots have gold detail and the jacket has silver because it's not so matchy-matchy which gives it an effortless look.

They say that you should pick a trend, and stick with it. Well, who listens to magazine fashion rules, anyway? So, I decided to blend all of my favorite trends for winter into one oddly simple outfit. Peplum enough is brilliant. But white peplum? Genius. It gives such a clean feel to a subtle statement piece. Next, booootieeees!! This is my new found OBSESSION (and if the caps doesn't emphasize it enough; my mom and I have had many long conversations about them over the past few weeks..it's baaad). Well, I don't really know what to say about them except they are the perfect solution to end-of-winter/spring in Syracuse because I am so sick of putting on my tall boots each morning. Plus, they give you an extra pep to your step. But, flat ones are definitely more practical for the uphill campus.. And, the fur. I'm not really sure what to call it, scarf? cowl? thing? So, I wear this to add a little extra something to any casual, nice, sloppy, or whatever outfit. Also, I just want to point out the snake bracelet. I got it at a flea market in NYC last year and my love for it hasn't died.

On the other hand, Jennifer Lawrence is.. well have you seen this? (Thanks, Kendi) ...hilarious!
