OOTD: Chunky Knit Sweater Dress

Today marks the end of my last Fall semester at the university and I couldn't have ended it better than with my Politics of Fashion class. There were so many eclectic personalities in that course and they really drove me to challenge notions of fashion in society. 

I probably committed my own fashion 'no-no's ' today by 1) Wearing a dress that is too long (the back of it, that is) on my 5 foot stature  and 2) Wearing black and shades of brown together. Who cares?! I like the contradicting pieces, I was comfortable, warm and felt that it really is a testament to how I like to style myself; not according to trends, but according to my tastes. 

I finally was able to wear my chunky knit sweater dress that I picked up in New York a bit over a month ago. I love how warm it keeps me and the little details of the slouchy pockets to the elbow patches on to the back of it being much longer than the front; it makes me love it even more. It has such personality! I spruced up the outfit with my favorite and newest purchase: the spiked headband! Thankfully it was a hit and interested people. I also had to throw on the obligatory rings that I am currently obsessing and collecting (pun intended because of my blog URL name, haha) 

If there's one way to identify what I love, it would have to be: nail polish, rings and shoes. I feel like those things encompass "me" and it helps that people already code me with those pieces.

Anywho, enjoy the post and the Christmas movies playing on ABC Family!

Collection: Rings

I cannot get enough of rings! To think, about a year or two ago, I couldn't stand the thought of wearing rings on my fingers and now it's something that I feel is very "me". Does that make any sense? I have so many rings, from plastic to copper, to silver and even a faux-diamond panda encrusted one. It's safe to say that diamonds rings are THIS girl's best friend. 

Here are some pictures of my rings...and obviously, they're not all photographed because I have too many.

Title is inspired by a song that I've had on repeat after watching Shirley's video. I'll post it at the end of the blog (which I am considering to continue doing for following blog entries). Today's a slightly different blog-post (as I say from occasion to occasion). As I looked around my room, I realized that there are multiple amounts of 'things' on my window ledges. I look around a little more and realize that there are multiple 'things' around my room, AKA, materialistic objects that are flooding my room in every corner possible. I shop too much, big whoop, but I do buy everything on sale, so I'll give myself a pat on the back for being a "smart shopper" in that aspect. 

The weather has continued to be lacking in the sun department and still holds such a static gloomy state (no intention of even trying to dress up today, really). At least the degrees are slowly rising making it comfortable to throw over easy dressed or hoodies and sandles. It's days like these that make me want to lose myself in a really good book or movie and just drink tea/coffee after an amazing shower. Can you tell that I'm influenced by already-produced-fantasies of what comfort is on 'blah' days? 

It's been a good day, overall, though. I feel the love and the optimism, just have to continue to work hard and the rewards will roll in.

Some of my rings--the others are lost throughout my room/bags/lost

I bought a replacement ring because (obviously) my middle finger ring's stone broke so I bought another one (one size to small...6, instead of 7, so I'm going to pop the stone out and put it on the other ring and then find a colored stone and put it on the ring finger....because I want it like that!

Quite possibly my favorite ring!

Little collection of books, the rest are back home.

A few of my favorite things :)

Some glasses.

Current fragrance obsessions: Juicy Couture- Viva La Juicy (finished small bottle, so parents got me the large one!), VS Pink- Fresh & Clean, and VS- Bombshell

Enjoy your Friday night and the song (PS: Listen to the original too! It's fantastic)
