10/14/13 #MenswearMonday (Homecoming Edition!)

When I took this photo on Thursday, in preparation for Menswear Monday, I had no idea that the subject would soon become homecoming king!

This dapper gentleman is Yaw Kyeremateng, a Health Communication and Performance Major, in a genius pairing of blue, orange and grey with a bow tie from JC Penney and shoes from Famous Footwear. I didn't manage to get the brand from the shoes (but there is a dangerously similar Perry Ellis pair available, for those of you wondering) or cardigan since we both had to get to class, but that's not the important part--his matchy-matchy choices are so on-trend for fall I knew I had to snag him. 

I also saw him out Saturday night having a blast in his crown and he called me out on not posting this picture yet and I joked that I just wanted it for myself, so I'm sorry for the late post, but I figured I'd better get it up before it got weird. So. 

Congratulations, Yaw!

Lovely Layers pt. 2

Thanks to all of you who put your best foot forward on this beautiful day! I managed to get a couple of great snaps to hold me over this week. But first, one from last week that never made it to the blog! Last week's weather seemed to throw everyone off so it was a slow week for photos, but when my friend and I spotted this girl from across the fountain, we were willing to literally chase her down.

These fantastic pieces were worn by Grace Stephenson. Majoring in Communications and French, you can tell where she gets her great Euro vibe! Her shorts are from Goodwill and that PERFECT fall shade of blush top is from TJ Maxx. I am in love with all of the textures at play in this look and completely green-eyed with envy over her hair!

Lovely Layers pt. 1

Ooooh looook, a new fanncy banner that was actually made by a real person who knows how to make banners! This lovely addition is brought to you by the talented Hannah Rodriguez of blog.simplybyserendipity.com. Check out her site and her very cool design portfolios! 

The first post today is most certainly NOT brought to you by iOS 7, which is what I've chosen to blame my slacking on. The update made me move a ton of my pictures around (read: ruin my perfect organization) and I couldn't find the ones I wanted to post in my iPhoto wah wah this is all one big excuse for being super lazy. Ha.

I wanted to post this outfit because it is composed of stuff every girl already has in her closet. Once I found out Theater Major Alex Stickels was wearing a sweater from Goodwill, boots from Plato's Closet, and glasses from Wal Mart, I wanted to post it even more! Her trick here to looking put together is in the layering of neutrals with that pop of mustard yellow. The black boots and belt really tie this together as a perfectly easy look for fall on campus.
