Productive Weekend Attire...







Sweater: Piperlime {old, similar here!} // Top: Lands' End // Jeans: American Eagle Outfitters // Boots: Tory Burch // Bag: {Bought on my trip to France, similar here!} // Binder: Target // Agenda: Lilly Pulitzer // Pencil case: Kate Spade // Necklace: H&M {similar item linked} // Bracelets: c/o Urban Peach Boutique // Nails: Nicole by OPI in Carnival Cotton Candy // Lips: c/o Essence Lipstick in BFF


     Unfortunately for my social life, I was not lucky enough to be a college senior who could afford to float by in her last semester of school. I have an extremely demanding course load for my final semester, and between school, work, blogging and sorority commitments, I have been having to devote a lot of my weekend time to homework. Is this the funnest thing in the world? No. But after making a 4.0 last semester, I know that I want to try and keep my grades as high as possible to finish school on a strong note. 

     This is an outfit that I wore this past weekend for a very productive Saturday morning and afternoon! I spent the later part of my morning at one of my favorite bakeries, working on some writing assignments for my Communication Capstone class. My afternoon took a fun turn though- I got to meet up with Charlotte area blogger Katie from Chic in Carolina! We had fun visiting Not Just Coffee, an Uptown coffee shop that was new to both of us. (Some of you might recognize Not Just Coffee from other Charlotte bloggers' Instagram accounts, especially Caitlin from Southern Curls and Pearls!) 

      The weather was cooler in Charlotte again this weekend, but I am already thinking spring in terms of colors and styles, so I pulled out some of my favorite bright pieces to make up this outfit! Most of these items that I'm wearing have been on my blog before, but I know that y'all usually enjoy my re-styled outfit posts. My sweater is an older favorite of mine, from the online retailer Piperlime (RIP!)- who else misses Piperlime?! 


     I have an extremely busy week coming up, but there will still be lots of fun new posts on the blog, so stay tuned! :-)

     P.S. What was everyone's favorite commercial from the Super Bowl this year? Those are what I'm always most excited for each year.... and this one was my absolute favorite from last night!

  7. Your statement necklace is so cute! I think it is amazing you're striving to end your college career on a strong note, so many people don't even care by the end of senior year.

  8. Your hair is so fab! My favorite was the avocado commercial, but maybe that's because I eat far too many, haha!
