I Travel Not To Go Anywhere, But To Go

Here's one of the last outfits I wore before I left Washington State; I'm officially in Oklahoma City now (there's a "picture an hour" post coming up when I find the time to upload the pictures). I seem to be on a teal and black kick lately and I recently dug out my favorite harlequin tights. I originally bought these tights in Athens, Greece as part of a Halloween costume, but I knew they would get a lot of wear outside of the costume sphere. Also, this is the dress I remixed six different ways here.
Outfit details: dress- H&M, bag- Pull and Bear, tights- street vendor in Athens, shoes- H&M, necklace- Talonalia
I've taken my aloha print suitcase with me because it is always so easy to spot! And no, Gus did not make the actual packing list...

Don't go to law school! It's a waste of money and an even bigger waste of creativity! You can do better.

lydia said...

ah i love that dress, and how you remixed it. the harlequin tights are lovely!

aww, gus is adorable! he should have made it into the packing list.

blind_dado said...

Is the LSAT book for you? I'm a practicing lawyer, and want to warn you that it will change you in ways you can't imagine. No one I know is truly happy. Why not graduate school in literature or philosophy or sociology or history? I only know you through your blog, but from what I can tell of you, you will loose something precious. Sorry to be so grave! But I've seen it happen so many times. So many young lives wasted...

Ruta said...

haha i love the LSAT book that i saw.

those tights are gorgeous. you have such lovely tights all the time. i really need to invest in some for this fall/winter since when i wore a uniform i was only allowed to wear plain tights, but that's the great thing about university, no restrictions.

hope you're having fun on your trip.

ps. the dress is lovely, especially the colour.

I hope she does not give you too much grief over not traveling first class. ;)

Darrah said...

You look darling as always. I love how Gus tried to sneak into your suitcase. Have fun on your trip! We'll have to discuss future blogger meet-ups when you return. I also wanted to let you know that I linked you on my blog. I'm trying to get my favorite fashion bloggers to write about their thoughts on the future of fashion journalism. I'm giving out "Fashion for Thought" awards to the bloggers that follow through.

Aw Gus is adorable. I had two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels when I was a kid. Such a great part of growing up. One was a blenheim, the other a tri. Truly the sweetest and most lovable breed there is.

Glad to see that you're mixing in travel with the LSAT prep. It's definitely important to keep up a fun and adventurous side of life (especially true while in law school and even more so in practice).
