Style and Comfort for 12 hours of Classes

Yes, you read that right. I take all of my classes on Wednesday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. Don't worry, I have some gaps in there for meals, but I am on campus for 12 hours. I've discovered that I have to dress for comfort as well as style if I am going to survive Wednesdays.

I always bring a cardigan but lately I've worn a sleeveless top to be ready for any temperature. I've also learned that a no-nonsense updo keeps me focused. I ALWAYS play with my hair and don't notice it.

Unfortunately, my camera wasn't cooperating this morning so this was the best pre-12 hour picture I could get. Top is from Rue 21 and I'm obsessed. I wear it all the time. Necklace was like 99 cents form Deb. There's the infamous Goodwill cardigan from high school.

The pants - now those are a point of pride for me. I found them at Goodwill this Friday. They're high-waisted with a bit of shimmer woven into the fabric. Probably worn by a 60-year-old before me, but I think they look fab and I got a few compliments on them today.

My bag is from Marshall's : 10 dollars and it held 5 texts books and my iPad all day! The scarf has a tree on it and it's from...GOODWILL!

  2. You do!! I also have decorated my room using about 80% thrifted stuff. It's addicting though, hope I don't end up a hoarder!
