Winter Essentials: to Keep You Classic and Cozy

Hey Preps!

Yep. It's finals week.  I'm sick, tired, delirious, and look like a mess...
Pretty much locked myself in the library today.  I feel stupid.  I mean, how much can I honestly forget in three months? Somehow I managed to forget a lot...and here I am...in this hot, stuffy, overpopulated facility that doesn't let you even have a sip of water (which I learned today when I was thoroughly scolded for taking a gulp) or speak.  Listen: I have ADHD...I have to have a slight distraction in order to stay focused.  For example, a water break helps me to piece up my studying between gulps...that way I can refocus on the next thing.  Usually I listen to acoustic music as a little bit of a background noise...but today all I hear are sick college peers sniffling next to me.  Do not sniffle on me kid, okay?

So, I have resorted to chewing my pen and hitting it on my head.  Yes, it is the only thing helping me to focus.  Sure kids think I'm weird...but I feel as if my reputation of being a weirdo has already been enacted, so I'm going to keep on doing it.

In midst of a study break, I managed to make a quick Polyvore of some winter essentials that I think we all might be needing come January.  I don't even want to think about January, and school, and cold icy wind tunnels that consist of my walking commutes to my classes...but apparently January seems a little less depressing than this Philosophy final that I am about to embark on:

I really don't have time to explain my Polyvore, but I will say that in winter my goal is to stay warm, practical, classic, festive, and dry.

Blessed Blazers

Hey Preps!

Anyone else freezing?  I am already sleeping in sweats...and it is not even my birthday yet (September 24th).  I never have to sleep in sweats before then.  Why?

Today is my second day wearing a blazer to class for the convenient sake of warmth.  So, a few days ago I put together a Polyvore of blazers and jackets you might enjoy.

From double-breasted chunky boyfriend blazers to crisp and clean cut wool and tweed blazers, I am in love.  I have this thing, for blazers because they really can pull an outfit together.  For example, if I am in a button-down and chino pants, an blazer makes my effortless outfit look like I spent hours planning an outfit.

Today I am wearing a navy blazer paired with camel corduroy ankle chino pants, and a V-neck polo shirt.  I tucked in the V-neck and paired it with a navy and light yellow D-ring belt.  So simple.  Literally it took me twenty minutes to get out the door today, and I look polished.
