Ensemble: Neon Dalmation

I've been loving the black & white & neon combo lately (ahem, here).  I think black and white is a great way to tame down neon and make it really wearable.  Is it obnoxious to match the neon in my necklace to my pants?  I say too bad!

Ensemble: Day to Night

I don't know about you, but I'm constantly trying to find outfits that easily transition from day to night.  Really, when it happens, it's like living the dream.  I got this cool leather sleeve tee from ASOS (purchased basically immediately after seeing it on Lauren from From My Grey Desk) and thought it perfectly fit the bill.  With a couple more quick changes, I was able to go from work to a birthday party.

Ensemble: Pastels

I'm really into pastels right now, they're so soft and pretty.  I got this sweater and wasn't too sure about it until I tried it with these pink jeans I bought last near and never really wore.  I love when I'm able to rediscover something in my closet!

My sister got me this pretty pressed leaf necklace for my birthday.  She thinks I don't like it so I had to prove her wrong.  

On a sidebar, I have some obnoxiously long legs.  My boyfriend is six inches taller than me yet we have the same inseam.  These jeans are supposed to be ankle length.  Ummmm, incorrect!

Monday Instagrams

Good morning lovelies!  I had a crazy busy weekend, so I'm weirdly looking forward to getting back into the swing of things this week.  I have an intense (in a good way) project I'm working on that I'm pretty excited about.  

I've been loving Instagram lately, here are a few of my recent pics:

My new Art Institute student ID!

New roommate dinner with the boyfriend - champagne and pizza.

Pretty flowers at work for Valentine's Day.

My sister trusted me to give her a little trim.  Heh heh heh...

P.S. Her hair certainly has changed a lot since her wedding! 

Went to Protein Bar for the first time and it's my new favorite.  Quinoa burrito, anyone?

My favorite bracelet combo as of late.

Turning in the keys for my old apartment

My birthday outfit - yay neon!

Trip to the Art Institute.

Realized I was wearing my shirt backwards, decided I preferred it that way.

Getting ready to volunteer for Illinois Destination Imagination.  My sister's dog was great at selfies in the mirror.

Watch twins with my sister.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Pancakes: An Important Addition to Your Weekend

Last weekend I had a stroke of genius and added chocolate and peanut butter chips to my pancakes.  Seriously, it's something you should be doing.  Footie pajamas optional.

Have a great weekend!
