Missing Month

October is my missing month. Confused? All right I’ll explain. You know when you’re thinking about the months of the year for some odd reason and fall just happens to come up? Well whenever I say the months I say them in this order, September, November and December. See what I’m getting at now. I never included October; usually someone has to point out to me that I’ve missed it. (Talk about embarrassing.) So from now on I’m just going to call it the missing month because I keep missing no matter how hard I try.

[I'm Wearing: Top: Forever 21, Pants: Walmart and Shoes: Target.]

This outfit was my way of welcoming my missing month. I really wanted something that said fall is really here. And what says it better than mustard? Maybe a pumpkin but I can’t really wear that now can I? Although this shade of mustard is a bit brighter it still fits perfectly with the fall color story. Lately I’ve really been into the fall color story and the way it transfers beautifully onto clothing.

 Right now I have a few outfits planned that I’m supper excited for because, guess what ends very soon (November 3^rd! Update: See what I mean uh I totally really meant October 3rd.) my 30 for 30 challenge! I really found it beneficial even if I did get so mad I threw a mountain of clothing around my room.  I think that now I know that I can take almost all the pieces in my closet and mix them up I’m going to have such a fun time with my wardrobe now.  I’m planning on posting the last outfit Thursday and that will be the close of the 30 for 30 outfits!! Eee! Super excited to utilize my whole closet again. Have a great Tuesday, xoxo Jess.

Park side.

Yesterday was one of my aunt's 40 something birthday. To celebrate my mom's eldest sister decided to throw a little family get together at her house. My other aunt had no idea that all of us were there (until her hubby spilled the beans). My aunt's a great person and I'm glad I got to spend her 4_th birthday with her.

My favorite thing about where my aunt lives is the park behind her house. I have some pretty fond memories there like the first time I swung on a "big girl" swing, falling off of that big girl swing, playing on the slides by making little pebble mountains. I love going back there because all those memories seem to just rush back and make me ten times happier about being there.

This face is what happens when Cat (My brother's girlfriend) get's me confused.

 When my mom reminded me that we were going to my aunt's house for a little get together my mind went blank. I had no idea what to wear. It's been inching it's way into fall weather lately so I knew that I had to take into account that where my aunt lives in Canada is always colder than where I live. I really, really love this cardigan it's so warm and it's the perfect color for fall. (See me wearing it here too!) I love the color so much that my mom bought yarn the exact same color to make me a scarf out of.  On that note I can't wait for the leaves to change colors and drop. It's such a pretty sight when they do. If I haven't said it yet, I'll say it now I love Autumn.

Have a great day. xoxo Jess.

Fast Paced.

 Life this week has been fast paced and I’m not fretting. There are a few things that made my heart flutter this week and a few that have made me want to crawl into a hole that goes to the center of the Earth. The good things that happened definitely made me the happiest girl in the world. Getting my arial (no handed) cartwheel was one of those things. I’ve been trying to get my arial cartwheel for a very long time and even though it’s still only on the mat I’m still very happy and proud of myself.

On the flip side of the coin, I was sick this week. All of my friends were sick so I knew that I was going to get sick sooner or later and I guess it was sooner rather than later. I spent Tuesday and Wednesday feeling icky but after a dose of some medicine on Wednesday night I woke up feeling better Thursday morning.

(I look sad in the above picture, don't I. I totally didn't mean for it to be that way...) 

I wore this on Thursday. I knew that it was going to be a bit on the warmer side so I figured that wearing a dress wouldn’t be such a bad idea. But to keep myself warm I grabbed my really cozy mustard cardigan. It’s so cozy, I feel like I’m wearing a furry animal on my torso. Also, I really love the color of this cardigan; mustard has become one of my fall staples (See me wearing it here & here). It’s such a warm color. What are your favorite fall colors? (I’ve been a fan of navy blue for a very long time).

Relaxed (Part 2.)

After a really long mental debate I decided to post the second relaxed look. Actually it was the first but now we’re just getting’ technical. I didn’t want to post all of them, because like I said they’re all very similar but then again they’re also very different. So my mental debate ended in me sighing and giving into myself. This is the second (first) relaxed look.

[I'm Wearing: Lace Tank and Sweater: Holister (last year), Jeans: Garage (last year) Shoes and Purse: Target Ring: taken from a friend.]

I’ve been wearing this exact outfit since last fall; it’s my ol’faithful so-to-speak. The only thing I ever change is the shoes. These shoes are in fact the ones I wore in part 1 too; they’re perfect for a totally comfy casual look (and giving my poor feet a break from my beloved heels).

Relaxed.

I usually dress a lot fancier than something like this but lately I've been loving this look, comfy. I've worn three different variations of it. (All totally different outfits just similar in look and feel.) In this particular outfit I decided to wear a shirt with a loose feel and look. 

[I'm Wearing: Mint Top: Charlotte Russe, Jeans: Kohls, Oxfords: Target.]

My bag is a new addition to my wardrobe. (!) I've been looking for a new bag since, well it seems like forever...so let's go with that. It so perfect for fall and school. It's small, it's within the fall color story and I love it. The last one is the most important of course though. 

I have to ask, don't I look really short without heels on? When I was looking at these pictures I totally thought I did. Maybe it's just me or maybe it's because my heels make me taller than both my parents. I'm really not sure. Either way though, these shoes are part of my comfy look just because sometime my little feet ask for a big break. How has your weekend been so far? xoxo Jess.

This is outfit number 6 in my 30 for 30 challenge. To follow along with some that don't end up on the blog follow my instagram, Username: jessicas_wonderland. 

& Here is something totally cute and true I stumbled upon. It's irrelevant to the post but it's way too long for a tweet and that's what I would usually do with a quote. So here it is. 

You know it's gonna be a bad day when you step in chewing gum with your right foot and doggy doo with your left foot-and that's before you leave your bathroom!-and you don't even chew gum!-and you don't even have a dog!

Unintentional Mixing.

A lot of times if I mix patterns it's not on purpose. I'll be honest mixing patterns scares the (insert word of your choice here) out of me. I'm pretty sure it's because I'm afraid of looking like a fool who doesn't know how to dress properly. I like mixing prints, I'm just intimidated by it.

[I'm Wearing: Dress: Forever 21, Lace Top: Aerie, Shoes: Target]

In this outfit I mixed floral lace and polka dots. Simple enough, right? I wasn't sure how excatly this outfit was going to turn out. I was hoping for the best but expecting the worse. I'm really glad it didn't end it catastrophe but in a really nice outfit I was proud of.  

Lame fact about me: I tie neck ties backwards. Actually I do a lot of things backwards and tying a neck tie happens to be one of them. Usually if I'm tying something that i'm going to be wearing like a tie I set it up backwards so all I have to do is flip it around but my mom had to tie this for me, because it's attached to the dress. ♥ Jess.

This was outfit number 5 of my 30 for 30 challenge. (I've only posted four at this time.)

Slight Obsessions.

Guess what this week is??? Give up? OK, I'll tell you then, it's my first week of dance class. I love being back to weekly classes with people I've developed great friendships with over the years. They truly make it worth the while.

[I'm Wearing: Dress and Shoes: Target Belt: Off a dress from 579 (last year)]

This outfit was outfit number 3 of my 30 for 30 challenge. I wore this last week Friday just when the weather started to change into delectable autumn weather. I was getting excited mainly because it was still in the high 80s here until then. Like I said in my sweater post, I geeked out and got super excited at the weather report this week. Yay for Autumn!

I love this dress for so many reasons but I think what I love most about it is that it's lace. Lace is one of my new obsessions. I've been wearing it like crazy, it's just so feminine and elegant. What else can I say, I really love it.

Mustard like and Minty!

So I’m not ashamed to say that I’m happy I’ve made it through the first week of the school year. Yahoo! Let me tell you, my teacher’s get right down to business. I started the curriculum already in Geometry (yuck!) and in Global History Ten.

This little shin-dig of an outfit is what I wore on picture day yesterday! Everyone I know hates picture day. We all seem to find the littlest flaw in our pictures. I’ll be honest I didn’t hate my picture from last year. It was nice. My hair did what it was supposed to and my makeup looked good. I took these pictures after school yesterday, my hair was still intact and so was my makeup.  I’m crossing my fingers and hoping that it turns out decent.

[I'm Wearing: Lace Top: Aerie by American Eagle, Mint Tank Top: Charlotte Russe, Mustard Jeans: Walmart, High Heels: Target. ] 

The inspiration behind this actually comes from two of my favorite bloggers, Elizabeth and Tieka. They've both sported beautiful mint/mustard outfits so I decided to give it a try. I really like how the pieces I picked out play together. The mint is really subtle, because it’s under my lace sweater but you can still see it nicely and I really like that.  

This ring! Ohh, I’ve fallen in love with it. The worst part is I hijacked it from a friend of mine. Actually I took it off her finger in English class and I wore it during our French class and now it’s mine. (She approved.) I think it matches my pants more than anything else I’m wearing.

And to close out this post I’m going to talk about what closes out my outfit, these shoes. I got so many comments about them but I really love them. Yes, they make me really tall, yes they make a lot of noise when I walk and yes, they aren’t the best choice for a four-story building  with stairs but I love them and will wear them proudly.  I enjoy being slightly daring with my shoe-wear.

My question for you. Do you like any of your previously taken school pictures? 

Have a great weekend everyone! xoxo Jess. 

this is outfit number two of my 30 for 30 challenge.

A first of many!

I’m tired. I mean I’m really tired. I haven’t gotten up at 6 am since I don’t wanna know when. It was a shock to me when I got my lazy butt out of my comfy bed this morning. My parents were both still in bed, the cats hadn’t been fed and the sun was just starting to come up. It was peaceful and a bit funny to see how much I actually do enjoy vacation life.

The first day is always an interesting day, in my experience it can go one of two ways, a) it can go smoothly and you’ll have nothing to worry about or b) You could end up with a big mess. Luckily I’ve had very few “big mess” first days and many smooth, easy going days. I’m glad to say that today went smoothly.

[I'm Wearing: Mustard Top: Charlotte Russe, Basic Tank: Target Jeggings: Kohls Shoes: Payless]

A little confession: I love seeing the freshman trying to ask us where their class room is. They get nervous, clam up and I’m pretty sure they think we’re going to bite their heads off for asking. It’s sorta cute and sorta funny. I don’t know too many sophomores who would get mad at a freshman for asking where the room they’re looking for is. After all it was us who where doing that last year.

Now enough with the first day fun, let’s talk about the top I’m wearing. It’s a tank top, so I wasn’t dying (for the most part), it has an amazing floral pattern and the color (hello mustard!) is sooo fall appropriate. All of that stuff makes it a win in my little book. Now jeans may not have been my best choice for a day that reached somewhere in the high 80’s but we all make fashion choices without regard to the weather.

P.S. This is outfit number 1 of my 30 for 30 challenge!

P.P.S. Did you notice I got my hair cut???
Hope you had a great uhh…Wednesday. haa!  xoxo Jess .
