The Great Gatsby.

Light blue Forever 21 blouse, Blue c/o Francesca's Collections necklace, Tan Urban Outfitters BDG mid-rise skinny jeans, Dark blue Out of Print The Great Gatsby tote via ModCloth, Tan Steve Madden Grettta heels, Ivory F21 & HM bracelets.

Something I'm very excited about for Spring is colored denim -- these tan denim jeans is a good start to my growing collection.  Am coveting a mint and lilac pair next.  I've noticed too, that once I get hooked on a certain style or aspect of fashion, previously were cropped knit sweaters, I end up buying a lot of it.  Now something new to add to my bad fashion habits.
Decided to wear a fun outfit.  Thought of giving my Great Gatsby tote some love on my blog :)..it's definitely such a cute and unique tote (aand one of my all-time fave books).  Btw, are you excited for the new Great Gatsby movie?? Altho far away, can't wait to see Carey Mulligan as Daisy! :)
Paired off the denim with my Steve Madden heels which are definitely one of my most comfortable heels.  Thought of wearing the F21 blouse with my Francesca's Collections necklace which makes the blouse look even more chic.

Texture play.

Blue American Apparel denim shirt, Gold c/o LUXLA hexnut bracelet, CC Skye & F21 gold accessories, Tan c/o Francesca's Collections 'At a Crossroads' bag, Ivory ModCloth lace scallop shorts, Tan Sam Edelman Valin wedges.

Firstly want to apologize for being absent for such a long time...midterm season is insanely taking over my life at the moment along with extracurriculars + 2 jobs, so trying to get organized and stay on track.  But, trust me, it has been killing me not updating my blog as much as I have before in the summer.  I wanted to share with you another part of my new apartment, there is this aaamazin' rooftop, with a beautiful view of Berkeley.  I think this will be the spot for many outfit posts to come, it's just that pretty! and bonus, not a lot of ppl are around to look at me strangely as I pose in front of a camera lol.

For this outfit, wanted to play with textures (something I do quite often) -- paired a denim chambray AA shirt with lace scalloped shorts from ModCloth, and a spacious lovely woven bag (perfect for all my heavy books from school) from Francesca's Collections.  Who speaking of, excited to introduce to you as my newest sponsor! :)  To accent the outfit, gold accessories is always a go-to.  Francesca's Collection is also letting Inspirafashion's readers receive a wonderful 30% discount at their online shop!  At checkout, enter code: INSPIRA, which is valid until 10/31 for any single regular-priced item.

Off topic, this is thee first post with my new haircut!!  If you didn't notice yet :p or seen my tweets, I decided randomly to chop off my hair, it isn't drastically short, but a good 5 to 6 inches was cut off.  I think it's a nice change for fall :).  

And..just quick updates on things happening in my life: I'm a co-lead head stylist for a BARE Magazine photoshoot!!  It's been almost 2 months at my job in Urban Outfitters, and i loooove it :).  I got a B on my last midterm! :)..which is good for me bc i studied last minute lol. k, I hope you all will have a relaxing and fun weekend! Can't wait for more posts to come on ze bloggie :).

♥, Kathleen.
