All about the shoes

Top: Japan | Cami: Charlotte Russe | Skirt: Forever 21 | Tights: We Love Colors | 
Shoes: Onmyodo | Hair Clip: Japan | Glasses: Japan | Watch: Japan

Do you ever have an awesome article of clothing that you base the rest of your outfit on? Well these amazing shoes from Onmyodo are just that. They are so unique and bold that they just have to be the focal point! Well that and I don't have much that matches with it, so they kind of have to dictate what I pair with it...but that's besides the point. Ironically, these shoes are probably the most Asian-esque thing I own, and I didn't buy them in Japan, haha.

And yes, my classes are 8-bit. Because I am pretty much obsessed with anything in 8-bit and they just make anything instantly awesome.

These pictures were actually taken a few days ago, when the weather was nice and sunny. Now some snow has decided to chill all over the grass and I have no desire to leave my room. Or my bed for that matter. 

I hope everyone is trying to stay warm in the cold! And if you live somewhere where it is actually warm, or at least not miserable, then please enjoy it for the rest of us! ;)

Welcoming Fall

Oh, I'm just wearing your average dress today, right?

Nope!

This is a penguin dress. A dress that looks like a penguin.

A PENGUIN!

Seriously, what dress can be more fun than this??

Dress: Hot Topic | Jacket: France | Shrug: Pimkie (France) |
Shoes: Blowfish | Tights: We Love Colors | Hat: Charlotte Russe

Fall has pretty much always been my favorite season. The chill air is comfortable with a light jacket and as cliché as it is, the trees are just gorgeous! But if you've been to Blacksburg then you know this town likes to take a step further and go straight to winter, which I do not approve of. I've realized recently that I might actually be more comfortable in slightly warmer weather. But you know what the best thing is about colder weather is? TIGHTS! That is honestly the main reason I look forward to fall. Summer makes me sad because I can't wear my colorful tights without having a heat stroke. Fall accessories really are another reason to just love the season! Who doesn't love to get all dressed up with boots and scarves?

So I've been thinking a lot about trying to make this blog grow and expanding my content. So please tell me, what would you like to see on the blog?! I'd love to hear your input!

Happy Fall!

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!
