[belated - Yesterday’s] Outfit Picture: How To Hide Puffy Cheeks

I really wanted to somehow detract from my really puffy post-surgery cheeks… so i wore my hair wavy (VOLUME = width), put on a headband, and threw on my glasses (wide frames = less wide face)

• v neck top - aeropostle (from circa 2005-6)
• jeans - thrifted, H&M
• flats - target
• scarf - H&M
• headband - J.Crew

My Outfit Today: Fall ‘Layering’

I wanted to wear this tank dress one last time before it got ‘cold’ - so this cardigan seemed like an appropriate way to make that happen

• cardigan - J.Crew
• brown belt - gift
• sandals - target
• bangles - Tucson Gem Show

[What I Wore] Date Night Outfit - ft. a beige blazer

Going out to sushi in Tucson is rarely a fancy affair - but after a week spent in flip flops and yoga pants it was fun to dress up to go out with the beau

• blazer with sleeves rolled up: Xi from circa 2003
• black cami: target
• jeans: thrifted, H&M
• patent heels: target

Should I continue doing outfit photos?

I got a great pair of dark purple leggings in the mail yesterday - and am REALLY excited to work them into my wardrobe this ‘fall’ - for going to class and going out.

My pair of black leader boot is practically begging to be worn with them

Hi. I would like this shirt. and mr. Karp to go along with it.

Since we can officially say that autumn is here I have been ruminating over some nice autumn appropriate outfits.

In particular, here are some of my autumn must haves. These are items that will serve you well not just this year but years to come. Some of them are based on current trends and some will always be in style.

1. Boots are a must for fall. Although these wouldn’t work in an office setting they are great for an autumn stroll that includes puddles or mud.

2. An oversize sweater is a must, especially for situations involving some tea and a good book.

3. A pair of great tights is a necessity. I personally love Spanx, not so much for the slimming effect (although I’ll take it) but more for the quality of the tights.

4. Leggings for autumn have been discussed at length and I think we can all agree that they are a staple. Pair with an oversize sweater and some boots and you have a chic effortless look.

5. Bib necklaces are going to be everywhere this autumn and a classic one like this will be relevant in years to come. Just make sure to keep the rest of the accessories simple.

6. Good news! Headbands are still in. One in a deep plum like this one would spice up any LBD.

7. Military inspired touches are also quite popular and there is no better way to channel it than with a fitted jacket like this one. All you need is a crisp white tee, jeans, and boots and you are good to go!

All American [preppy] Style - aka something I’m trying to rock this school year. Naturally it features American Apparel as a key staple. How could it not?
