Retro Pink

Dress: Thrifted, Belt: H&M (old), Boots: Kohl's

I have a short sweet list of things that need to be mentioned:

- Love the fact that there's actually people reading this :) Wow. Thank you for the comments and for reading! That's so cool. Makes me happy.

- The weirdest most exciting things is going to happen: One of my family members from Germany is actually coming to visit me here in my small town home :) How insane is that to finally be able to show them around (not that there is a whole lot). For the longest time I didn't want anyone to visit me. That was because I felt as if I hadn't accomplished anything, felt depressed and didn't want anyone from my "other" home to interrupt my "new" life.

It sounds mean, but that's the truth. Insecurity.

But now I CAN'T WAIT.

Life is good, I have accomplished things that I am proud of. Oh and I can't wait to drive them around and pretend to be a tour guide! 

- This outfit is just another outburst of "All I can ever wear during the week is plain and boring so now I have to put together the craziest possible outfit to compensate".

- I have worked all weekend. No parties, no hanging out with friends for this girl.

That is fine with me, I love the residents and most of my co workers. Fun times!

Pastel

Sweater & Jeans: thrifted, Wedges: Lauren Conrad (Kohl's)

It is sweater time &  I couldn't be less excited.

What I love about fall is the colors of the leaves, nice candles and hot tea.

That's about it. I freeze easily and that's my major concern about the weather getting colder.

No matter how many sweaters I'll layer, it'll be cold.

This past week, it was my turn to observe the action in the Emergency Room here at the local hospital.

Nothing too exciting happened, but it was still really neat to be in a different environment at the hospital. I can definitely see myself working either in the ER or in surgery.

Blood and wounds!

Boots & Dogs

Blazer: H&M, Shirt: Primark, Skirt: Zara, Boots: thrifted 

I kinda wish there were cats on my blazer, instead of dogs.

Oh well, can't always have EVERYTHING go my way.

Besides the pattern on my clothes, everything else is falling into place.

Therefore I shouldn't complain.

Purple Patterns

Cardigan, Shirt & Pants: Thrifted

Purple Pattern Overload!

I wore this outfit about a week ago, after leaving the house in either scrubs or gym clothes for days,

I must have been so color & pattern deprived. This was the result :D

My mom couldn't believe that I was serious when she saw this photo.

The good thing about living abut 6,000 miles away from home:

There is nothing my dear mother can say or do to make me change my outfit...

Rebellious!

I will be working all weekend. No time for anything but school and work, but that's alright.

Love my work, school is going great.

But I had no idea that older people can behave like high schoolers sometimes...

The drama continues, who would have thought that ;)

Shirt $ Belt: Thrifted, Cardigan: Family, Pants: Lauren Conrad (Kohl's), Shoes: Vera Wang (Kohl's)

Here are my $6 shoes! YAY

It is now Monday morning and I am currently working on 3 care plans for nursing class!

My weekend was spend with amazing people & such American activities (steak & bowling), and now I have to go back to reality, step down from the cloud & get all my school work done.

"Real nurses" apparently don't ever create care maps and such things, but as a student I have to learn critical thinking and develop patient teaching methods.

Since this weeks is literally gonna be super crazy busy, I HAVE TO get this all done ahead of time.

Wish me luck!

Flower Jacket & Killer Heels

Jacket: H&M, Top: New Yorker, Jeans: Hollister, Heels: Elle (Kohl's)

I didn't wear those heels to class - most likely would've ended up in an awkward stumble into the class room! These babies are pushing my (hee)limits ;)

Once a week I can dress up for class, might as well do it. But no risky shoes. I like to play it safe with that! 

What's up with Kohl's always having the shoes for super amazing deals, and then only size 6 1/2 left?!

Conspiracy! All those shoes turn into dust collectors in my closet.

(Yes, now I'm whining about not being able to wear the heck out of my heels due to work-school-uniform related issues that I already mentioned hundreds of times)

Never mind, I'll wear my shoes for photos OR when I am only expected to sit & look nice.

Maxi Floral

dress & cardigan: H&M

I turned the HEAT on in my car this morning! :(

Fall is right around the corner and everyone around me seems to be super excited about that.

Not me! I prefer the kind of weather that does not make me freeze.

I love walking outside in the morning in shorts & a tank top, or a flawy dress, not having to worry about a cardigan. Also, I drink bottles of ice cold sparkling water.

Most definitely I will miss wearing summer dresses.

Yeah, even after months of hot Midwestern summer, I am not excited for fall.

Sorry!
