STYLE: LUMBERJACK CHIC OOTD

December 16, 2014

I love winter fashion, I like to call it lumberjack chic (fingers crossed I get my bean boots for Christmas!) Here in the northeast, the options you have for bottoms are jeans or leggings. At least, that's what I've been feeling lately. However, I've been yearning to get out of my jeans and leggings slump. 
While I was out Christmas shopping a few weekends ago, I saw these brown pants at H&M. I felt inspired o start looking for brown or tan corduroys or pants. I knew I'd probably be able to pair it with flannels, vests, button-downs, and sweaters.

As always, I looked around the other stores and struck out. I found myself back at H&M to try these on and buy them. These mustard brown slacks were on sale for $25. 

I like how I feel dressed up but casual at the same time. I feel more put-together in these slacks.


Not to mention, I think it makes my butt look good ;). That's a very important unique selling proposition for me and pants!

I resurrected this cropped sweater from Forever 21 in my closet because I thought it would do splendidly.


I like that I can wear boots and socks or flats and sneakers with them.



It's a great staple piece to wear my favorite tops with - causal or dressy!

LIFESTYLE: BACK TO SCHOOL HAUL

September 02, 2014


After scattered shopping trips here and there with some online shopping thrown in, I've finally accumulated my "back to school" pieces. I'm so excited to start the fall off in a warm, boho vibe. I've stocked up on some prints and some statement pieces, and have updated some fall staples that have gone limp in my closet. Let's dig into my new wardrobe!


(from right) Cream cardigan: Marshalls 
Grey Cardigan: Charming Charlie
Navy and White Blazer: White House Black Market

The cream cardigan is chunky, easygoing, trendy, and effortless for fall. The grey cardigan is long and sleeveless. With these two together, I get the best of both trends. I love the stretchiness of the blue and white blazer; I also needed more business-casual pieces in my wardrobe.

Chevron tunic: Charming Charlie
Blue Scallop Crop Top: Topshop
Paisley Lace Tank Top:  Marshalls

I've been dying to find a good tunic, and this one from Charming Charlie is perfect! 

 Geometric Pants: H&M
Cropped Galaxy Workout Pants: Marshalls

I love these comfy geometric pants that are oh so colorful, and the comfy and cool workout crops!

STLYE: FIRST DAY OF CLASS OOTD

August 21, 2014

Crisp new clothes, crisp new notebooks, new professors, interesting classes; it's back to school time! Other than your planner, the best way to be prepared for a new semester is a rockin' new outfit. Class-wear should be comfy but also stylish. It's acceptable to be comfy in yoga leggings in Febuary, but on the first day of class, don't we want to start off with the right look? I know I do.

I talked with a stylish from Keaton Row Amber Brown (who is AMAZING by the way), and she recommended leather shorts for the transition between summer and fall. It's the best of both worlds - leather for the cold weather and shorts for the warm. I based my first day of class OOTD around that and these amazing patent leather chunky white sandals from TopShop



This outfit is comfy, stylish, versatile, and trendy. The two basic pieces, the blue t shirt and shorts are jazzed up by a chunky necklace and the killer shoes. The heel is low and chunky so it's good for walking around campus.


Shirt: Forever 21 $5.80
Shorts: H&M $17.80


Shoes: TopShop, $20.00 (I got them for $40 :/)


Necklace: Charming Charlie, $13

Hope you guys enjoy and get some back-to-school inspiration through this. I'd loove to see your looks! Comment a link with your look or tag me on instagram, @n_vergak!
