Working Life

Top: Uniqlo (Japan) | Skirt: Japan | Shoes: Payless | Purse: Japan | Tie: Japan | Watch: Japan

I'm back! It has been way too long. Adjusting to a new semester in grad school was more difficult and time consuming than I had anticipated. I've been struggling a bit on managing my time, thus the blog had to be pushed to the side momentarily, unfortunately. I've been thinking about what I want to do with the blog, whether I would be able to continue it with my crazy schedule. It'll be a challenge, however I can't give up on Dreaming of Dinosaurs. It's still new but I want to take this blog further in the future. I hope you can all be patient with me, as my posting may not be as frequent as I'd like, but I am determined to keep it alive and I hope you will join me along the way :)

So this outfit is actually from a while ago. I apologize for another closet picture, I really need to get out more... It was for the first day of my internship, where I am observing a French classroom at a high school twice a week. That's where half of my time is going, while school is taking the rest, ha. I am enjoying the occasional professional wear, such as this particular one, though I am in major need of expanding this part of my wardrobe. As well as the rest... Can you tell I'm in a large need for a shopping trip? haha!

What has been keeping you busy lately? How do you like to manage all of your daily tasks?

Thanks for still reading!

First Day of School

Dress: JCPenney | Cami: Charlotte Russe | Blazer: Charlotte Russe | Shoes: Payless | 

Hair Bow: Hot Topic | Glasses: Japan | Pin: Japan | Backpack: Hot Topic

Yesterday was the first day of classes for me. And I'm already swamped with a million things to do. AWESOME. Yeah, there was a little bit of sarcasm in there, ha. This semester, well, the entire school year really, will be a challenging one, but hopefully it'll end with a positive result... I am looking forward to learning many new things and growing so much more. 

Today I introduce you to my closet. Mostly because I didn't have time to go outside and take a better picture. You know how it goes. I thought that this outfit was a good introduction to my more professional educational career this year, while still keeping it nerdy. And I am in love with this dinosaur pin. It's the best thing to add a little more fun into any ensemble! You'll probably see me in a bit more business/formal attire more often, though I still need to increase that part of my wardrobe. But that probably means that I'll be able to show you more new pieces in the near future :)

I'll try and keep up with Dreaming of Dinosaurs even when I'm busy! And good luck to any readers who have also just started classes!

Dressing for Yourself

Dress: Pimkie (France) | Lace Top: Charlotte Russe | Shoes: Japan | 

Socks: Charlotte Russe | Purse: Target | Belt: Japan | Hair Piece: Kohl's

I'm back! I truly apologize for my absence. As soon as I got back from Japan, I had to get back to Blacksburg an spend  the last two weeks in training and helping residents move-in on campus. It's been a crazy and exciting time!

You've seen me wear this dress before here. This time I wanted to give it a different look, adding accessories for an edgy yet soft look. I would normally wear something like this for a special occasion or when I actually had something to do, really. But even though today I was running some minor errands and mostly staying indoors, wearing this outfit made this dull just a little bit brighter :)

I will try to post outfit posts more regularly. However I no longer have the help of my wonderful mother and fiancé to take pictures, so there may be a few less in each post, but I'll do my best!
