Spring is in the Air

      So with this winter, it feels as if summer would never come. It is already the end of April and still in the mid 50s/low 60s. Last year as of mid-April I was rockin' shorts like it was my job. It should also be noted that I LOVE J.Crew's novelty shorts and would live in them all year round if it was socially acceptable to wear shorts in below freezing weather. Also, since I cannot wear shorts to work the last month of school is my outlet to out wear them.
      With all of this being said, I broke out my shorts for the first time this year even thought it was only 61 degrees and a little windy. It was my desperate attempt to make it seem like warmer weather could be in my horizon with school ending in two weeks.

 

Shirt: Loft (Similar), Belt: J.Crew, Shorts: J.Crew, Shoes: J.Crew

First, please ignore the mess that is my room and my hair.

Second, I love the pop of color the belt adds to this outfit, the color also makes me happy and smile everything I look at it (I know that might sound weird but its true). 

Third, The polka dot shorts also adds an element of interest to the outfit instead of just wearing plain Jane white shorts.

Hopefully, with the next few days I won't have to pretend that Spring is in the air and it actually will be. Happy Friday!!!!

A Wonderful Weekend

   If you are not already aware Quinnipiac and Yale played in the Frozen Four and unfortunately Quinnipiac lost. Despite this and being on duty during the game and going to bed at 5:00 in the morning it was still a wonderful weekend.

      On Saturday, my sister and her friend came up to New Haven and we spent the day in the Yale museum. While I always love admiring the Monet's, it was very interesting see their new exhibit of American art. After the museum, we went out to dinner at Caseus Fromagerie Bistro. It may sound weird, but it is a great restaurant and offers a wide variety of dinning options. 
 

     On Sunday my Dad and little sister stopped by on their way to a college visit. Despite being super tired on Sunday, I was able to make it off campus and have lunch with them. When went to a local dinner and had amazing curly fries. My Dad also treated me to a much needed Starbuck's Carmel Macchiato, which was able to get me through chapter.

College Closet Organization

     One of my biggest organization pet peeves is a messy closet. At home I could manage it to a point. Now that I am at school I can not tell if the problem is worse or better. I have this bad habit of getting into a fight with my clothes every morning then not having time to put them back properly or be late to class....
      So here are a few pictures of my very small closet!!!! As you can see everything is color coded, if it wasn't I would probably lose my mind. After working at J.Crew over the summer, I picked up a few tricks such as how to properly fold a sweater which has saved my sanity with the limited space.

In, addition for my shirts they are broken down into sleeve length with shortest in front and long sleeve in back. They also separate my skirts and dresses. I think this help to break up outfits. My skirt are hung according to store, I have no idea what lead to this. Dressy and casual skirts are not placed on the same hanger allowing for easy accessibility.

 I know this is a bad pictures but this is supposed to be my pant and short drawer. I role my pants and short because it is easier to see each article of clothing. It also helps to prevent wrinkles and creasing which is nice for a busy college student.
