Going into 2014 there's definitely several items I need in my life. Maybe I'll use some christmas money towards some healthy retail therapy....Anyways below is a collage of all the items I would like to snag some time in the near future. I've also included explanations for each item and examples of them on real people. Enjoy!
2014 Wants
1. White Blazer- The more I become obsessed with Scandal, the more I feel like I need to own white/cream everything. Gotta get my Olivia Pope on! (minus the sleeping with a married man part). Anyway, I could 100% see myself rocking this on my way to class in the spring. Examples: 1 2 3
2. Funky Oxfords- I have been wanting a pair of unique oxfords for SEVERAL seasons now and I can never seem to get my hands on a pair (or my feet in a pair, I should say). Hopefully I can pick up a pair soon. They'll be perfect for walking across campus once the snow melts. Examples: 1 2 3
3. Fun Lipstick colors- Recently I've been venturing into the world of makeup. Very slowly. In 2014 I want to start to experiment with color a little bit more. Something fun for a night out or for a presentation in class perhaps? Examples 1 2
4. Bralettes- I don't have huge boobs so I think I could probably get by with just a soft bralette. I think they'll look really nice under some of the softer shirts I own. And it will be nice to wear something a little less heavy duty than my normal underwire bras. 1 2 3
5. Druzy Statement Necklace- Another piece that I've been pining after for awhile now. 2014 will be the year I purchase one of these necklaces! They're absolutely gorgeous and one in a neutral color will instantly become a staple for me. I can't wait. 1 2
6. High Waisted Jeans- I'm a 90s baby at heart and I'm really loving how the styles are coming back. I've been watching movies from the decade like Love Jones and Poetic Justice and falling in love with the character's wardrobes. Particularly the high waisted jeans and crop tops. I'm hoping to have my very own pair soon. 1 2 3
7. Leggings- Oh leggings, the best garment for girls since...well ever! I dismiss anyone who tries to argue that leggings aren't pants. I usually do recommend wearing a longer top but if you've got a nice ass, show that bad boy off! Ain't no shame in your game honey. Obviously leggings are THE essential clothing item for college females. I honestly wear leggings probably 3x a week. I'd wear them everyday if I could. So in 2014 I'm going to invest in a few more pairs to add to the collection. 1 2 3
8. Fun Socks- Now this may come from me living in the dorms and wanting to have something protecting my feet at all times or maybe from my growing interest in mens fashion. Not sure but I've been obsessed with developing a cool sock collection and I really want to expand on what I already have in 2014. 1 2 3
9. Shirt Dresses- College really takes a toll on your energy level. This results in most students dressing like they literally just got out of bed (which is literally true in most cases). But as a fashion major I cannot simply toss on sweatpants and a hoodie. That would be unacceptable. So my solution is casual and easy shirt dresses that I can layer and accessorize. 1 2
10. Cool Graphic T-Shirts- I honestly live in these already but in 2014 I'm just looking for ones that are a little more unique. I'm hoping to find some cool ones while thrifting. 1 2 3
11. And finally PLAID PANTS- I've very recently fallen in love with this look, not too sure why since I've never been big on plaid. But I really love the look of a nice plaid pant with a neutral top and some cool boots. It's just perfect and a wonderful statement piece going into the new year. 1 2 3
