Top Knot, Topsiders

So in other news, let's talk about clothes. 
I always get this raging paranoia that I'm going to get penalized, or something because the NCAA prohibits blogging about sports. 
I'm pretty sure they don't mean mentioning your practice offhand or anything, but I'm still paranoid. 
I talk about crew, but the way I do it, I'm pretty sure the NCAA doesn't give a flying rats behind about.  
I like to talk a lot about style though, just to make it clear that this is most definitely not a sports/rowing blog. 
It's just a blog by a girl who happens to be a coxswain.  
If you've seen my twitter, that's more sports related than this. 
No, really. 
Anyway, team dinner tonight.
I've actually changed out of my yoga pants. 
Please, alert the press.


you have no idea how hard it is to take your own photo with a laptop.  Never mind looking decent in it!  as you can tell I gave up on that pursuit
Outfit details
T-shirt: Jcrew, perfect fit.  I really like to get these tees or two sizes up, because they're literally the most comfy thing in the world.  
skinny jeans: Here's to all my other coxswains out there.  The brand for these jeans is Cherokee, they're from Target- children's section.  
Not juniors. 
Kids. 
At least i bought them from the girl's section, for once. 
They're insanely comfortable, and if you buy them a size up (this seems to be the theme of my post) they fit like straight-leg jeans instead of jeggings.  I have one in the right size and one a size too big, so I alternate depending on the rest of the outfit. 
Sperry Topsiders- I cannot talk enough about how much I love these shoes.  I got them last summer at Nordstrom's, and they literally melded to my feet.  It's like walking on a cloud.  

Sunglasses: Literally bought these last weekend at CVS.  Normally I only wear aviators, but I'm really liking these and their faux- Ray Ban-ness. 
Better picture of the sunglasses and topknot... sort of.

I know, I know, my skin is throwing a hissy fit. 

ah, such is the nature of finals.

Uniform

Uniform

So it's come to my attention that I'm actually an adult and leaving the house in hoodies and sweatpants is fine and all, but every so often I want to not be mistaken for a thirteen year old (I'm looking at you, Jet Blue.  SO flying US Air from now on)
so that's when I pop out my navy blazer. It's a three quarter sleeve from H&M and I like to pair it with just normal bootcut casual jeans and a grey or white t shirt underneath.I have honestly no idea what brand my jeans are or where they are from, they're a hand me down from my sister(s?)  I wear a lot of ribbon/d ring belts because unlike leather belts you can keep on tightening or loosening them as much as you want.  The one I am wearing right now is LL Bean but the one in the picture is Brooks Brothers. I'm pretty sure it's menswear but, hence is the beauty of d-ring belts.  
Red Sox hat and stopwatch of course, go with everything.  (I'm a coxswain even when I'm not coxing).  Same with my Sperry's.  I'm in love.  
Speaking of love, I spend WAY too much on skincare.  That's Origins Checks and Balances foaming face wash, Perfect World Tea Tree Moisturizer with SPF, and Kiehls Youth Regenerating Cream. 
Why a 21 year old who's consistently mistaken for a thirteen year old needs youth regenerating cream I don't know, but I'm convinced when I'm forty it will have paid off.
Everything else on here is a wish list:
Ray bans (ohmygosh they would be such a good investment for a coxie!)
I'd love that Kate Spade knot ring.  The one I'm currently wearing is from target.  I'm pretty sure it's rusted onto my thumb at this point even though it was once nice!
I don't have a smart phone, and much as I want one, I know how hard I am on phones. But I still really love looking at Iphone cases. 
Seriously
My phone is this cinderblock
It's pretty much indestructible.  Not that I haven't tried
also I really like that Vineyard Vines makeup case, but to be honesty, I don't wear enough makeup to justify buying it!  
However, I COULD justify the Lilly Pullitzer tumbler.  I could carry lemon water with me everywhere.  Mmmm, lemon water. 
Ok.  Done now.  I should go at least pretend to be paying attention in this god awful class.
