~ day to night ~

My daily ritual is as follows:
Wake up.  Eat breakfast.  Drink tea.  Get dressed (some variation of jeans and a striped shirt).  Go to class/go to work.  Come home.  Change into yoga pants and t-shirt.  Do homework/edit photos.  Eat dinner.  Watch netflix.  Go to bed.

But because I'm very bored of this, I'm making a conscious effort to do things differently - I mean, there's no way I can avoid work, school, breakfast, or netflix, but the yoga pants and t-shirt can definitely be traded in.  Instead of immediately changing clothes when I get home, or wearing jeans for a night out, Friday I switched things up a bit by challenging myself to wear the same piece day and night and style it two different ways.

Daytime:
Went to class, ran errands, came home and studied.

{F21 top, vintage skirt, gap ballet flats}

Nighttime:
Went to a play, got donuts afterwards.

{F21 top, gap pencil skirt, gap ballet flats, target bag}

It's nice to step outside of your comfort zone once in a while!  

And while you're outside your comfort zone, make sure you grab some donuts for breakfast.  

You'll be happy you did.

I have a confession.  I AM OBSESSED WITH STRIPES.  

I've got 99 problems and 98 are stripes.  Okay, so maybe that's a bit obvious, but I'm here to tell you the benefits to this "problem."

01. They go with everything.  Any color.  Any pattern.  Any pair of insanely bright pair of pants.

02. They're classic

03. They go this way

04. And that way

05. And the other way

06. You can look like Beetlejuice

07. You stand out in a crowd

08. They make getting dressed super easy.  Jeans + striped shirt + tan flats = instant chic

09. You can look like Audrey Hepburn, Jean Seberg, and James Dean

10. You'll blend in well in a prison.

xoxo,
Eliza
