Men's Wear Experiment

I don't know about you but usually when I am changing my style, it's not intentional but rather I am drawn for lots of similar items. This winter it took me quite a while to catch on. I have had periods of wearing button ups all the time, dresses, ballet flats, black, purple, etc. This winter I seem to have an obsession with men's wear. I have always liked men's wear because I feel a little silly in dainty clothes so I do wear a lot of pants, blazers, my men's style watch and other things like that but I have been afraid of some other men's wear styles like sweaters, shirts, loafers and suits. I have always liked them on other people (like J.Lo) but I have been too scared to really try them myself. But when I left for college and I grabbed a pair of loafers that I stole from my mom my mom gave me. One random day this past fall I decided to wear them and I fell in love. My friend Jackie had always told me how much she loved her "grandma shoes" but I just made fun of her. Man was I wrong, loafers are the best!

Some how I think know I wouldn't look as cool
as any of these celebs.
Now that I had made the first step into the men's wear world, my next step was sweaters. I stole one of my dad's sweaters when I was home for break and I love it (actually I'm wearing it today!). Since I loved it so much I bought a men's sweater on sale from Banana Republic last week. It's really comfortable and fits perfectly...definitely a good purchase. I have also acquired some men's workout gear which is really nice for layering or when you don't feel like wearing tight things to the gym.
Come on! How cute are these? I just want 10 pairs in different
neutral shades!
Since I acquired all these things in a matter of a few months my roommate Haley began to catch on to my obsession. She even made fun of me last night when I said I liked a guy's shirt but not for him, for me.I might have a problem...

So, do you have a latest fashion obsession?

11 Things

So one of my favorite blogs Paleorunnergirl just did this post and I thought it would be fun! So here you go: 1. What is your favorite meal? You know…I really just love food. But these days I would have to say crab cakes and broccoli. 2. How many times have you been in love? Zero. 3. What is your Starbuck’s order? I used to work there so this is a very loaded question. Here are my top 5: -Tall soy no water chai light foam -Tall Americano in a Grande cup with extra room (I add 2% milk and equal myself) -Double tall soy latte light foam -Venti iced passion tea 6 shots sugar free vanilla, no classic light water light ice -Tall espresso frappacino, no frappucino roast skim milk no whip  You had no idea how loaded of a question that was! 4. Action/Comedy/Drama/ or Romantic Comedy? Romantic comedies all.the.way.  My favorite romcom. I like them all though! 5. What was your favorite TV show when you were a kid? When I was really little I liked Arthur. 6.

Whining While Working Out

Image
I know I haven't blogged in a while...I do think about it a lot but I haven't had anything exciting to say! I'm still just babysitting and working out. But working out is the key part...I have had some REALLY hard workouts. Sunday (mother's day) I went out intending to run for 70 minutes and by about 45 I thought I was going to die. I mean not really die but I thought about asking someone if I could borrow their phone so I could get a ride home. It. was. awful. I mean I guess this is true...but I was pathetic. Then Monday I reluctantly put on my running shoes but then I looked outside and it was raining and I just decided to do laundry instead. Tuesday I had an okay 40 minutes on the elliptical while watching Sex and the City (thanks for lending it to me Sara!). I also visited my aunt, uncle and 2 cousins so it was a nice day. Me with the newest addition to the family. Then today I decided I would do a hill workout. I ran about a mile to a field that

What you didn't know about nursing school

Image
So usually I do a Sunday post but I just didn't have time this weekend! I had an anatomy test at 9 on Monday morning so I basically spent all weekend studying (there was a little time spent watching the super bowl and relaxing with friends.) But since I have been spending so much time doing school work this semester I decided I would give you a glimpse into what it's like! First and foremost the nursing school is really disorganized so we have a Facebook group to keep us sane. Whether it's about anatomy, football tickets or getting a ride somewhere, if you have a question, you post it here for a guaranteed answer. There is also some shenanigans on the nursing Facebook page...a lot of posts like this: U Mich nursing students love cats...and memes And this: That's what happens when your major is almost all girls! Not only are we connected virtually but we have all of our classes together so we're together all the time!  We walk together Off to the
