I'm back with week six of Style Perspectives with The Blended Blog. This week our host is Lana - and our theme is how to style a spring sweater, jeans, and flats.
If you can believe it I do not own any flats. I own flip flops, sneakers, and my favorite Sam Edelman Gigi sandals, but I do not own any closed toe pointy flats, loafers, lace up shoes - or anything that might qualify as "flats". I think the last time I owned flats - I was in college. And, I will not mention how many years ago that was - but I do have a milestone coming up this May - anyone guess how many years?
In thinking about college - I was one of those students who changed their major several times. I could not figure out what I wanted to do. (And, actually I am still trying to figure it out.) I started college as a biology major, then switched to psychology, then education (specialty in high school biology and math), and then decided to go back to just general biology. I chose a diverse biology curriculum from pre-med microbiology and biochemistry to environmental science and ecology. For one of my environmental classes, I spent a week hiking in the Smoky Mountains and camping outside in an open air pavilion on top of a mountain. My pre-med microbiology and biochemistry classes were not as "fun" - but rather intense. For the tests, our instructor would give us a list of 30 essays to prepare. And, on the day of the test, he would pick just 5 of them for us to answer. We would get an empty blue book (if those still exist) and 50 minutes to write our 5 essay answers. The nights before those exams were the only times in college I had an "all-nighter". I would spend the entire night researching the answers. (Partly because I never paid attention in class or to the reading.) After the exams, I would reward myself by going shopping, which was actually more browsing - because I was in college. I am happy to say though with all of my changes in my major, I did however manage to graduate in four years!
So, that is a little more about me... now back to my spring sweater - and how I wore the cardigan above last fall. And, this cardigan is very similar to the one I wore on Monday - it is just a little brighter and shorter.

Here is a round-up of last week - and how we all wore BRIGHT PANTS. Red pants were definitely the top pick. (Can you find one of the top clicked on looks. One hint - she is in the middle of the image.)

Another yellow cardi! I love it. I can't believe you don't own flats ! Lol those shoes are killer tho. You look younger than me so I'll say college was 5 max 10 years ago. ( it's been 15 for me )
ReplyDeleteThank, Nicole. You made my day.
DeleteI am loving the colour themes you have going each week and also loved learning a little more about you! Great outfit!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Deena. (The idea came from trying to make my Instagram feed look more cohesive - but I am enjoying it - and it is being a bit challenging to stay on track!)
DeleteThat's funny that you don't own any flats. That's about all I own... :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the bright yellow cardigan! Fabulous outfit!
I know - when I need to walk somewhere - I think "why do I not own flats!"
DeleteThe yellow sweater is such a great piece for spring, and I love it with the black booties!

Love you in yellow Lisa!! Such class and a lil sass!!! I had to smile, i started out in Psych at IU then switch to secondary Ed and taught psych, soc and govt, now I work in health care in education and communications. Nothing wrong with changing our minds!! You look GREAT!!
ReplyDeleteI feel better knowing I am not alone. And, so true - we can change our minds as we like.

ReplyDeleteNEW POST : THE COLORFUL THOUGHTS
Loving all these sweaters you have been featuring! They look fantastic on you! And so nice to get to know a little more about you! Impressive that you graduated in 4 years having changed majors so many times. :) And oh those blue books...does everyone just get a laptop now? haha.
ReplyDeleteYou look fabulous in yellow! Definitely a great spring sweater! Love the leopard pumps as well. If I was more comfortable in heels I'd have a closet full, but I prefer flats.

Loving the pop of yellow with that cardigan, so pretty <3
ReplyDeleteGreen Fashionista
I love this yellow sweater! So bright & springy. I changed majors a bunch of times in college too - I started in communications, went to architecture, and finally decided on fashion/retail management. I have no idea how I graduated in 4 years!
ReplyDeleteYellow and Leopard for the win! I can't believe you don't have any flats outside flip flops. Time to get shopping girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteLove the yellow cardigan and your booties add a glam flare to the outfit! =)

Clearly I need more yellow in my life!! Love this look!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty yellow sweater, and I love how you added some edge with black. I was also someone who changed her major SO MANY TIMES in college, and I still have yet to figure out what I want to do with my life. Glad I'm not alone, ha!

I think I need more yellow in my closet! And I love those gorgeous shoes on you!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I can't decide which shoes I want more!!! Also, I loved your college story!
ReplyDeleteGlad to read I am not the only college student who dabbled in a few majors before graduating (pretty much for me) on time. I remember blue books...oops, should I admit that publicly. Love your buttercup yellow sweater. I wear a whole lot of heels, too, but have some flats. Always so put-together and perfect, Lisa.
ReplyDeleteBlue books were still around when I was in college too! I hear you on flats though, I have a few pairs of Sperrys, but that is about it. It is hard to find a pair that fits my weird feet!
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast of yellow and black. Thanks for adding your fashion flair to the My Refined Style Linkup.
