Outfits of the Week, New Year's Resolutions, and Pinterest
This post just explains a multitude of things, I don't really know how to describe it! :P
First of all, I am now on Pinterest! I have no idea how exactly it works, but I'm pinning things and creating different boards-

Next, my New Year's Resolutions. I found a sort of template I guess you could call it, on Lauren Conrad's website: http://laurenconrad.com/blog/post/2014-my-new-years-resolutions-lauren-conrad-goals
A bad habit I'm going to break: putting myself down over everything
A destination I'd like to visit: New York
I'm going to work harder at: being positive
A project I'd like to finish: knitting (well, I'd have to start that project first...)
A class I'd like to take: some sort of fitness class with a lot of cardio would be fun
I'd like to spend more time doing: my blog, playing my flute
A food I want to eat more of: any ideas????
I want to wear more: patterns
I think the hardest thing for me will be to stop putting myself down over things; I tend to do that the most with school and when I teach flute. But it's a new year,so hopefully I will figure out how to make the best of everything :)
Here is my first try at photographing some of my outfits. This past week was really cold, so I had to dress in layers and wear some of my new sweaters to keep warm. Also, the fleece-lined leggings that I recently purchased were such a good buy! They work really well under jeans for an extra layer of warmth. I got mine from Fairweather, but I'm pretty sure stores like Urban Behaviour or Urban Planet would have them as well.
Sweater: Eclipse
Jeans: American Eagle
Necklace: Forever 21
I don't know how long I've had that necklace, but I've never really put an effort into styling it. I had seen a lot of outfits that featured a chunky sweater with a statement necklace, so I was excited to try it out and I was pleased with the outcome :)
Olive shirt: American Eagle
Plaid shirt: Urban Planet
Tank top: Forever 21
Jeans: Tommy Hilfiger
Necklace: Forever 21 (recent!)
This outfit definitely shows how I like to layer. I don't wear plaid that often, but when I do I like to dress it casually, unbuttoned, sleeves rolled up, with some jeans and a long necklace. I call this outfit my "street style look." :P If only it was warm enough to wear a leather jacket on top!
Until my next post, stay stylish!

Music Festival Style
I recently had the pleasure of attending Bluesfest, and while I saw some awesome bands (okay, my favourite band, Fun., was playing, no big deal or anything :P) I also noticed people with awesome style. I didn't really know there was a certain style showcased at a music festival, but as the afternoon and evening wore on, I noticed some repeated outfits and items of clothing that I thought would be of interest to the rest of the fashion world. So if you're planning on attending a music festival this summer, here are some outfits and style ideas to kindle your inner hipster-rock-bohemian side.
The first thing I noticed was a lot of floral print. As you know, I am obsessed with anything floral, so you can imagine my delight when I saw people sporting floral dresses, blouses, shorts, and accessories! What can I say, floral print is just timeless and can be worn for any occasion! In this outfit I paired a floral bustier dress with some flat braided sandals. Sandals may not be the best choice for a music festival (especially when if it's supposed to rain!) but I thought these were a great alternative to sneakers. :)
Next, I noticed many people wearing denim shorts, whether they were ripped, high-waisted, or detailed in another way (such as the ones above with a crochet hemline). Denim shorts are easy, casual, and can be paired with pretty much anything.
Now, this might have been due to the fact that Hunter Hayes was playing the day I went, but I saw a lot of plaid shirts, whether they were worn open over a plain cami, or tied up like the one in the outfit above. Paired with denim shorts and cowboy boots, this is a great laid-back look for a music festival (especially if your favourite country singer is playing :P).
Printed tank tops were also a major piece of clothing that I saw at the festival. The different designs and sayings are perfect for showing off your quirky side! In the last outfit I paired a tribal printed crop top with high-waisted shorts and Converse.
As you can see from the outfits, there are some simple accessories that you should bring with you- a cross-body bag, sunglasses, and hat. These not only complete your laid-back look but are just...really practical when you think about it.
I hope you enjoyed this post! Until my next one, stay stylish! :)

An Explanation...
...as to why I haven't made any posts (real posts, I'm sure whoever has been viewing my blog has enjoyed the outfits from Polyvore). First of all, I have been busy (kind of), so as much as I would have wanted to write something, making an outfit and posting it has been a lot simpler (call me lazy). The last time I made a real post was back in April (wait, May?), when I promised to report fashion trends all summer...oops, sorry about that.
A confession: unless I was going to work or out with my friends, I pretty much lived in shorts and tank tops all summer, so I definitely wasn't very stylish. But now that school has started up again, I have been making more of an effort; getting back into the swing of things by back-to-school shopping, making outfits, reading magazines to catch up on the trends- all that fun stuff. My first day of school outfit? A magenta pleated dress, belted at the waist, a grey shrug over top (though it was really hot out, so I ended up taking that off), a long pink beaded necklace, and pink flats. See, I still have style down.
I've also noticed that all my posts have been reporting various trends of the season; so I was thinking of doing one for fall this year. You know what I noticed? A repeat of trends! Or maybe the trends have kept on...trending through the whole year? Maybe. All I know is that lace, plaid, floral, and coloured denim are still in; joined by sheer blouses, polka dots (those were in in the spring, actually), stripes, cable knit, and faux-fur. Also from last fall are the colours of burnt orange, mustard, and burgundy. So you're in luck if you kept your fall wardrobe from last year!
I will keep the outfit ideas coming, but now and then I may surprise you with a post on my views on the trends of the season (or something of the sort).
Until my next post, stay stylish! :)
