Should You Follow Fashion Trends? ・ Bell Sleeve Off-the-Shoulder Sweater Outfit

Sweater: Nordstrom // Skirt: H&M // Bag: Stella McCartney // Shoes: BC Footwear // Lips: Kylie Cosmetics in "Kristen"

I don't consider myself the biggest trend follower, but I'm open to trying out whatever is in fashion as long as I can stay true to my regular style: for example, I love that turtlenecks are back en vogue, I'm obsessed with all things velvet, and I'm down for a pretty choker or two. There are a few trends that I just won't try out because I know they wouldn't fit into my style (looking at you, perspex boots!) So, should you follow trends? My personal opinion is that if you genuinely like the trend and it fits into your own personal style, then go for it! I love when designers adapt a closet classic to fit the current trends, making something that is still versatile and wearable at all times, but current.

Case in point: this off-the-shoulder sweater I picked up at Nordstrom that walks the line between a dusty blush pink and classic nude. I love the bell sleeves with the slit in the side that allows for range of motion in the arms. I posted a dressing room snap of this to my Instagram story and I got multiple messages asking about the sweater, so I was really excited to publish this outfit. I also picked up this simple black wrap skirt at a score of less than $20- wrap skirts are great for petites because you can adjust the size to your liking. I always have issues with the waists of skirts being loose and needing a belt, so this was perfect and really versatile as well.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
