Pumped Purple

It was a wee bit colder so I chose to wear pants today -- purple pants that is!

I found this knitted sweater in my dorm's 'free' pile.

(there is a pile where girls throw things they don't want anymore so it's basically my paradise)

Knitted Top - The Tog Shop (from dorm pile)

Purple Pants - H&M

Necklace - Curio

So I got these killer (no pun intended) shoes from Kohls the other day. 

Orig. $35 --- with Kohls Cash I payed $5

Unfortunately after around 2 hours, they were killing the back of my ankle's 

and my poor pinky toes. 

Hopefully that was just the pain of wearing it in 

and in time they will be more friendly to my feet.  

Another look at the shoes -- that I love the look of but are the pain in the ankle!

Lastly, I entered a contest for blogs and it is here

Just scroll down and find my name 'Kayla' 

and the picture of me in the blue dress from my new years post and press the heart button.

 Its super simple to vote and I would love the support! 

Please share with friends and family -- it would be a great opportunity and I would be so grateful!

Purple Sequins

One of my mother's friends who is a hairdresser with Aveda sent me a little package that was a suprise when I came home from Hawaii. 

It was a sequin top that was a cowl/scoopneck. 

I personally have never bought sequin shirts because I have never found one I like. 

I have always loved all the magazine pictures that involved sequin-ey tops so I thought I would give it a go!

Before I altered:

So instead of keeping it that way because I felt like it wasn't the 'look' I was going for, I actually flipped the shirt around (so the tag is now in the front.)

I liked this way more because it allowed to me to accessorize with some chunky jewelry.

 I paired the top with some high waisted H&M purple pants.

The colored pants were a first for me too! Phew. 

Two new things in one day -- Im beat. 

I loved the outcome of the purple pants with this fun top, I paired it with a black blazer when I went outside because it is awfully chilly out today. 

(main reason why my photos are not outside... I was too cold)

This gave me a very 'rocker' girl vibe for some reason unexplainable. 

(Extreme close up so you can see all the little tiny sequins upon my top, and the lovely darts upon my pants)

Tomorrow is supposed to be even more cold, and with chances of rain so I will most likely be bundled up the next time you see pictures of my 'daily do.'

But I will be a big girl and take my pictures outside! -brrrrrr-

Top - Unknown store location, but the tag says Shameless

High Waisted Pants - H&M (they were only 11!)

Chunky Necklace - From a friend (I think from Nordstroms)
