Looks I Love (Shoes)
(This is a really old post that I never published and I'm trying to figure out why...I think I was going to add more to it but I never did? Eh! Either way..)
I miss doing these and I miss my shoes that are sadly at home probably being worn by my little sisters! I can't wait to go home so I can go shoe shopping! I don't think I never wore the same couple do pairs of shoes in my life! this is almost depressing...but I'm still grateful!

I love these!
Well it's nothing to them really but they're just so classy(& sexy) and classic that you have to love them.

I actually LOVE this whole look!
but the oxfords are super cute!
Definitely a shoe that I want!

Grunge Chic!!
I love this look but I'm focused on the shoes!
Like this combat boots I also want a pair of Doc Martens!
I love BLACK shoes for some reason...
and these one's are super versatile!
I'd LOVE to see these with colored tights
or socks!!
I would probably never wear these but Solange
wears them good!
I LOVE this whole look and the shoes
add that POP of color that
completes the outfit!

The "Needs"
This a continuation from the previous post...I'm featuring the bottoms however.
Dark Denim Skinny Jean: So I do have a pair of these and I'm not a huge fan of them...for some reason I don't really care for Levi's...they make my butt look waaaay too wide and I hate it. And they are becoming a little tighter so I feel it's time for a new pair of them!
Bache Linen Pants: Ever since I seen my cousin with some I really wanted some and I think she got hers from like Old Navy? But I had seen some on sale at Forever 21 and they did not have my size...Oh how I was mad! But these ones are from Alloy!! I might have to order them I love these things so versatile!
Black Pant: Firstly I have been wanting a pair of black dress pants for the longest but I always run into fitting problems...But I did get a pair from JCpenny the other day after trying on almost ten pairs of pants...I left with just one pair! But I do want a casual black pant also...possibly skinny?
Versatile Dress: I'm sure what I mean by Verstaile but I really like this dress and it's not a maxi and I love the color but I want a dress that I can dress up and down....and I'm thinking this dress might work and I can wear it with a ton of different stuff...

The "Needs"
So I made a list of the things that I actually need when it comes to clothes...I have a habit of just buying stuff just because it's cute & on sale when really theirs things out there that I need...To fix the problem I made a list so I can remember to buy these things.
White Blouse: Believe it or not but I didn't own a white button down blouse until like Tuesday? I went thrifting with my mom and I found a brand new one so I just bought it! I really don't know my reasoning for not having one but I'm glad that I have one now!
Dark Denim Jacket: I do own a denim jacket but its blah! I really want a dark denim one....and the one that's pictured I really don't even care for that one but I guess I can continue looking until I find my match?
Zip up Hoodie: I only want one of these but I really like these colors! I don't want any writing on it (wait maybe) okay I actually want both...but I want an all solid one so that I can wear it with dresses and such because the pull over eh! but I do want one that had writing on it too it will add character I guess?
With this I also need some shirts because I don't have many but come to think of it I wear dresses so much that I never really noticed but at the same time I never see any that i'm interested in wearing! I shall continue on my search but I did buy 2 new ones the other day! and I like them....I didn't try them on though!!

The Challenges
I've been seeing all different types of challenges on the web. Challenges were you just answer questions about yourself, photo challenges, I have seen some fashion challenges and I even seen one challenge were you couldn't look in the mirror for a certain amount of time.
As I'm going through my Google Reader I come across a list of challenges via College Fashion...They caught my interest for the most part and I'm highly considering taking part in one of them. Even if it's not one of the ones listed on College Fashion's site.
Since I'm a huge dress wearer I was thinking about the month of dresses or the no jeans.
Truth is I haven't wore jeans this much since middle school. I really love wearing dresses and skirts and I got caught in the laziness of college and started making jeans a routine in my outfits.
I think if I bring the rest of my dresses and skirt outs to Florida with me then I won't have a problem engaging in the dress challenge....would it be cheating to like have a dress or skirt for every day of the month.
I shall decide by the time I go back to school if I want to do the "No Jeans Challenge" or "Dresses for a month"...I may have the courage to do both of them through out the year! This will force me to wear everything I own I guess.
Off of the top of my head I just wrote down 20 skirts/dresses I own....
When I get back to school I shall do the "Dresses for a Month" Challenge...Making it a full 31 days! And I will take pictures to have proof!

(I attend Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida. It's a HBCU (Historically Black College/University) I just completed my first semester there and I never made the time to reflect on it. I mean I did journal about it but that might be the extent of that. I'm going to break my reflections into parts and hopefully I can get them all up soon.)
The People
I was not sure what to expect going to a HBCU. I had been talking to a few people via our Class of 2014 Facebook Group. I even went to the extent of texting a few of the people that I had met on the Facebook group. I made a few valuable friends out of the group and some people that I spent that whole summer talking to just weren't the same once I got to school or I just wasn't the same.
Personally I don't think that I like meeting people on the Internet first...I rather meet them in person then decide if I want them to be apart of my cyber world. It created an awkwardness on my behalf. And I also think that their was just too many people that remembered me on Facebook and I felt so bad when I didn't remember everyones when everyone remembered who I was...I think it was because I stood out to a lot of people! I'm from California and I'm bald. And I didn't feel the need to be friends with everyone but I always find it good to have associates for all aspects of my life.
This was going to be my first time spending a large amount of time with a large amount of African-Americans! I was extremely nervous because I didn't want to be stereotyped because of where I come from. This was the experience that I yearned for. i wanted to know what it was like to be around people that looked like me.
Even though most of the school population is black we were all still very different. We come from different places we, our families are different sizes, some of our parents have degrees and make a decent amount of money while other students are first generation students and their parents are just trying to make ends meet. Many people don't notice the diversity of the HBCUs because I know I didn't I always looked at diversity as just race but now I know that diversity is deeper then just color.
Light skinned & dark skinned as well as different races, rich & poor, gay & straight, the student of an alumnus & the first generation student...I received a dose of everything that I probably would have received from a traditional university plus more.
Some of the people didn't make themselves welcoming in my opinion and like with any other place their becomes the cliques and the hierarchy....even though I haven't exactly figured out the hierarchy in the school however.
Next semester I shall be more friendly and meet new people and look at it as I have nothing to lose. If I look at it that way then I will have something to do all the time and make the best of the rest of not only my freshman year but the rest of the time I am there.
On the flip side..Not every student is there for the purpose of education. And the maturity level can often be questioned especially amongst the freshman girls. While many girls weren't my scene as a result of them being loud for no reason and doing what people expect out of them and lacking the ability to conduct themselves in a professional manner.
I am excited to get back on campus and hopefully meet some new people...
