Snow Days

      So as you probably all heard Nemo graced the east coast on Friday. As a result Hamden, CT received 40 inches of snow. This I must say was a mixed blessing with 3 days off from school giving me time to catch up on work but I am also going out of my mind from boredom and that it was supposed to be recruitment weekend.
      On Friday, I kept it low key staying in my room watching Gilmore Girls and the snow fall. I also refashioned a lace skirt I got from J.Crew a few years ago. The shape and material made me look frumpy so I didn't really wear it. However, a few months ago I came across the lace pencil skirt and attempted to refashion the skirt I had. It was actually pretty easy. First, loosely stitched the lace to the under skirt on the seem so it wouldn't buckle when I took in the sides. Next I took a pencil skirt that I already had to get the right shape. And sewed along those lines to achieve the desired shape.
        On Sunday. I spent 2 and a half hours shoveling out friends cars. Just to let you know my shoulders are killing me.... I should probably start to work out. As a reward for shoveling, my staff went to out for sushi last night and it was so good! Not just the food but to be off campus!
        One last note before I go. I finally decided that I want to study abroad in Florence, Italy! I am so excited finishing my application and that I will be studying with one of my sorority sisters.

 So after what seemed like the coldest 2 weeks ever, Connecticut was graced with 50 degree weather on Thursday which gave me the opportunity to wear this outfit. I had been planning it out for awhile but had been waiting for the perfect weather. If I do say so myself the outfit was a smash, the camel sweater went perfectly with the neutral tones of the the vest and the scarf was a perfect accent to make the ensemble a little more season appropriate.

This week was filled with school work, RA duties, and preparation for recruitment. However, the most exciting part was going to my study abroad information session and trying to figure out where to go. After racking my brain and stalking the different programs, I narrowed it down to London, Greece, and Florence. As of now, I am leaning towards Florence but a more definite destination will hopefully be decided later this week.
