A very simple school outfit that cost me a total of $7 head to toe. Won a $75 gift card from the H&M grand opening last week and this striped tshirt dress and eggshell white cardi would have been $13 + $18 but they were free! Target sales added this bright pair to my collection of flats: hot pink loafers with weird brown tassels and shoe versions of elbow pads in the back in a nice brown. These were hella on sale too but unfortunately gave me big open blisters for a week. Now my ankles are so calloused that it doesn't matter ack. Matching hot pink lipstick, kisskiss.

Having to give strangers the apologetic/nothing-to-see-here-whistling face is so weird when you see someone in the med year above you that you kind of know and it's just awk to Awktown. Anyway, adding to the sweat from 100 degrees Freakinghotheit (definition: noun; a new unit of temperature. Can you use it in a sentence? "Today in the Midwest I soaked two shirts and the thermometer read a zillion degrees Freakinghotheit, no wonder.") was this rightful social discomfort from 10 more undergrads walking by walking their dogs, big and little. Fast forward an hour and I'm sweating so much my pores are practically donating their own version of blood without my permission. Enter kickboxing session, not knowing what to expect, going along the lines of my adrenaline-fueled motto of "DO EPIC SHIfT" ... I had no idea would lay me on the floor like that! Core, crunch, kick, punch! That hour felt like eons and afterwards we went out for froyo and chrysanthemum bubble tea, undoing all that work. Aimless shopping at the Barnes & Noble and the haul consisted of a biochem textbook, medical Spanish workbook and sparkchart, scrubs top, review guide for the next standardized exam (once you think about a career in medicine, you commit to taking multiple choice exams until you're wielding a reflex hammer with a cane attached to it .. so basically forever).

Readers - Do you ever use your shoes to bring colour into your outfit?

Your dress is really flattering. :]

Basic but pretty outfit.
Looks very comfortable walking in it, that's for sure.
I don't really use shoes to bring colour to my outfit.
I tend to let it 'blend in' instead. :)

I know that feeling! I got a pair of loafers from Target and I pre-massaged (LOL aka breaking them in) my shoes around the toe area so that it would fit comfortably or at least be half as comfortable. I love your pop of color!

Lol Angie I have those target shoes in aqua, and I got huge blisters from wearing them today too. When I wore them over the summer at home they were very comfy, but there's just something about a walk to Cupples....

Whoa, congrats on the gift card win! I heart nautical everything, but especially stripes and that dress looks great on you! I'm very ready for fall and am glad that the humidity is finally dying down so we can enjoy the outdoors (I'm in Cincinnati) :)

What an adorable and simple out! Very nautical but with a distinctly cool edge. I'm really digging those flats--such a cool pop of color for any outfit, and I'm pretty sure that my love affair with Revlon's lip butters will never die (color + moisturizing action? I'm sold).

Unrelated, but I love your use of "hella"! Are you from the Bay Area too? :)
