Campus Style: Alice in ASU-Wonderland


Last Friday, Lily Lieberman and I got together to interview sculptor students at ASU for an article we were collaborating on, an article about sculptures that were inspired by Lewis Carol's  Alice. 

Everything about what she was wearing was jumping out at me through the striking nature and boldness each piece of her outfit encompassed.

Q: Where did you purchase each item and what were their individual prices?

A: Earing - Urban Outfitters, on sale for $4.99
Dress - Urban Outfitters, $59
Tights - Anthropologie, $14
Flats - Madewell, on sale from $90 to $30 

Q; What inspired your outfit?

A: I was inspired by our interview with the sculptors. I felt like Alive in Wonderland with my short blue dress, clashing patterned tights and polka dot flats.

Q: If it could be singing, what would it sing?

A: My outfit would be belting  a song by Alt-J, most likely Breezeblocks. It's trippy and they're British. Enough said. 


Q: What does fashion mean to you?

Fashion is my weapon.

Election Day

It's election day here in the U.S. A week after Halloween...and the ghost are still out. I'm a little nervous about the turnout. There are many things at stake. But I decided to calm my nerves through my patriotic outfit and be proud.






Through it, I feel a little like Super Girl...I'm going to need her strength. I chose glittery flats because they remind me of the stars. Perfect, no?


Enjoy this Norah Jones song which fits my state of mind right now:

Here's my ten minute outfit with my sock bun (it's sloppier than it should)

Jeggings - Bargain at JCPenny, $10
Polka dot sheer shirt - F21, $15ish
Under red shirt - FREE, hand me down
Glittery Shoes - Payless, $20 compared with Baker's $60 price

Dear Pink, I Need a Break...


Available here for $19.80
For as long as I can remember, pink has been my favorite color. Sure there was that phase where I wanted nothing more than to wear my purple sneakers, but I still came home to a pink room.

This was only meant to be a quick outfit of the day post, but yesterday in class (don't fret, I was finished with an exam early, which I passed with a 100 percent; that's right, I'm a PowerPoint expert) I discovered something as I looked through Forever 21's "Uptown Girl" looks. I'm over pink.

Normally, if an item comes in pink, I choose it over the other colors. Then I saw this top, and I found myself leaning towards the minty blue one--in a perfect world, I'd get both-- and realized I've been wearing and buying a lot of blue lately.

So pink, looks like this might be it... just for a while. It's not you. You're still super cute and pretty flattering on me,  I just need to try something new. Yes, there's someone else. It's blue.

These are a few of my favorite blue things at the moment:
Shoes: Cathy's at Arizona Mill's Mall $15 
Blue mini skirt: Ross $8
Ombre high-low skirt: gift
Sweater: Ross $9.99
Necklace: Old Navy $1.99 
L'oreal nail polish in Now You Sea Me: Target $4.99
Love & Beauty blue glitter polish: Forever 21 $1.99 or $2.99





And this is how I wore the ombre skirt:

Cat tank top: Ross $6.99
Denim vest: DIY
Cheetah (or leopard?) loafers: Ross $12
