Short Story

Urban Outfitters tee and shorts, Jeffery Campbell sandals, Marc by Marc Jacobs watch, Topshop rings, Madewell sunnies and bobby pins

I'm going to stick to the title and keep this short; AP exams are currently happening, I'm exhausted, there is no way I can write a coherent blog post right now, and here is an outfit that I really enjoyed wearing!  First shorts of the season, which is making me so excited. Hope you are all doing well:)

Little Black Dress

Free People dress, Mango shoes, Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, C Wonder bracelet, Nasty Gal safety pin necklace

It's black, like my soul! Just kidding (sort of).  I'm fairly certain this is the closest I have ever come to owning a little black dress.  I know it's supposed to be some sort of quintessential item that every single girl should own, but I've never been one for conforming anyway, so I think I'll stick to my mostly printed dress collection.  This is one of my favorite pieces at the moment though; Free People makes the most gorgeous dresses, and the lace on this one is super pretty. I also kind of love that it looks a bit like a nightgown.  I would wear this dress anywhere, despite a comment by my lovely brother when I first bought it a few months back: "you look like you're going to a funeral, go change" haha.

Bryant Park

Free People dress, Dolce Vita booties, Urban Outfitters bag, Topshop jacket, House of Harlow 1960 necklace

Bryant Park is probably one of my most visited places in all of NYC, so I thought it would be the perfect spot to take some blog shots, as I was in the city on Saturday seeing the new Idina Menzel show If/Then (p.s. it was amazing!!). Whenever I go into the city I try to be as comfortable as possible, and while you might think this outfit doesn't scream comfort, it is actually one of the coziest looks I own. This Free People dress is essentially an oversized cotton sweater, and I could walk miles in these booties and my feet won't ache. Definitely one of my go to outfits to transition from winter to spring. Hope you are all having a great week:)

Winter Uniform

Madewell top and bobby pin, Aqua jeans, Dr. Martens boots, Michael Kors watch, Charming Charlie scarf, C Wonder bracelet, Tiffany & Co. ring

Back in July, I posted a summer uniform blog post because I had pretty much been wearing a variation of the same outfit for the entirety of the summer.  Turns out winter isn't much different.  We've gotten an insane amount of snow this winter, so I haven't been able to wear any shoes other than my Dr. Martens.  Black and white has overtaken any hint of color I had once included in my daily looks, and comfy boyfriend jeans are a necessity when I wake up at 6am to find the temperatures in the single digits.  Also, I am still loving the dark lips and winged liner(despite protests from mom/friends).  The scarf is really just practical, otherwise I would quite probably freeze during my morning drive to school (speaking of which, I should get back to studying for midterms).  What is your go to winter look?

Madewell dress, top, and bracelet, Forever 21 jacket, Michael Kors watch, Dr. Martens boots, LF headband

It is a rare day that I'm not wearing some variation of black during the winter.  I try to keep from being too boring by incorporating different shades and textures.  I wear prints almost everyday, and I love this checked one from Madewell.  Also, many people warned me of how terribly uncomfortable Dr. Martens boots are, but I have been living in them the past month! 

I have midterms next week so just a quick post; I should be spending this glorious snow day studying for calculus (and french and environmental science and sociology and literature and microeconomics, ugh).

Aren't You Freezing?!?

Urban Outfitters sweater and socks, LF skirt, Hue tights, Aqua jacket, Zara vest, Dr. Martens boots, Forever 21 beanie 

The question asked by a billion people when I walked out in this last weekend: aren't you freezing?!?  The answer is no.  No I am quite happily not freezing, I am actually quite warm in the outfit above.  When I went with my friends into NYC last saturday night, they all showed a bit of concern that I would actually die of being cold in this outfit given the single-digit temperatures in our post-blizzard environment.  But I can assure you, this is probably one of the warmest outfits I own. 

Let's start with the tights shall we.  They are thicker than they look and, with another layer of knee-high socks, keep me warmer than my jeans ever could. My Dr. Martens are equal parts warm, comfortable, and weather-proof, making them a must.  Moving up, my leather skirt does quite a good job of blocking out harsh winds and providing a layer of warmth for my stomach before I threw on a thick grey sweater.  Over that is a grey and black jacket and a very puffy leather and tweed and an assortment-of-other-thick-fabrics vest.  Just in case the frigid winds kicked in, I also threw on a beanie and gloves (the kind you can use your phone with of course, otherwise there is just no point).  

We actually ended up walking a few miles to the restaurant we went to in NYC, and by the time we got there, I was the only one of my friends that was not absolutely freezing.  I am quite proud of this achievement given their earlier concerns.  I'm thinking this is going to be my go-to snow day outfit, what's yours?

Stay warm! xo, Sophie

Madewell chambray top, Free People jeans and sweater, Urban Outfitters beanie, B Brian Atwood espadrilles, Tous ring

It has snowed three times in the past week, so I am definitely officially in the winter spirit.  I was suppressing it before, attempting to still get away with wearing t-shirts and cuffed boyfriend jeans, but I have given up and decided to start dressing cozy and warm.  I have been basically living in this oversized cardigan from Free People, and, as I mentioned in my last outfit post, my beanie obsession is at full force.  I love the juxtaposition of those two quintessential winter items with my summery denim look.  

Sidenote, I never realized how much weather affects blog posts until now!  It has been snowing and gloomy and dark out and the ten minutes I spent taking these shots were the only sun I have seen ages.  How do bloggers manage to do daily posts when it is like this?! I commend you all. 

Have a great week:)
