Have you ever had such an awful night's sleep that when you woke up, you just didn't feel like getting dressed? I think I can hear a resounding "YES" from every single person on the planet. This morning was one of those days, and I fully blame the tornado-like winds that took over last night. Somehow they managed to blow papers around my room, as well as cause my blinds to move, despite the fact that my windows were closed! How does this happen? I'm not sure, but I do know that it has always been about 10 degrees colder in my room than the rest of the upstairs, so I think that there is a leak in my windows…
But back to what is important -- getting dressed! I felt lousy this morning and leaving my blanket was not ideal, so I did not feel very inspired while searching through my closet. In fact, I changed twice before settling on what to wear. It was definitely a day for sweats and a t-shirt, but since I'm not the type to wear sweats to school (all the power to the ladies that do though; I envy you!) so I went for my own version of sweats. My favorite skinny jeans - the 'diva' by Old Navy (no really, I wear them so much that I desperately need a new pair), a cropped cashmere sweater - the 'queen' by Stylemint, a tank from H&M, and my usual black flats. (Maybe keeping this blog will force me to shake things up and not wear the same staples everyday!) I also usually wear one of my two watches everyday to school, and today I chose my Michael Kors rose gold watch.

I threw together some options to recreate my "sweats" for those of you who are also on a budget. Normally, I wouldn't have spent $90 on a sweater, but it was a gift. I included the Michael Kors watch only because it is something worth splurging on because it is something you will use for years! I definitely think rose gold has become a classic look, but if you are a little more traditional, get it in gold or silver! You won't be disappointed. I chose a backpack because I brought my ASOS floral backpack to school today (as per usual) and I think a great backpack is a must have for students, especially when you don't want to bother coordinating a bag on top of carrying your laptop or notebooks. And finally, rather than my black flats, I included the same pair in a rose color to better fit the scheme. I may even have to purchase them since I wear their counterpart so often!
