I had a test at 8 am, on a Friday. Now, I realize there are worst things in the world than this but at 5 am on a Friday you would have a hard time convincing me. Actually wait, the only thing worse than an 8 am test on a Friday is an 8 am test on a Friday in a class about the first amendment. Yes, an entire 16 week class on the first amendment. You know what is even better? I found out my final for this class is at 7:30 am. So you know, you think a class can’t get worse and then life says, “I RAISE YOU THAT AND GIVE YOU A 7:30 FINAL!” So don’t ask these kind of questions because it could, in fact, get worse.
So to combat this awfulness I wore everything I own that puts me into a good mood. Sequin jacket? Check. Leopard Shoe? Check. Comfortable jeans? Check, check. Graphic shirt from Zara? Check, check and check.
Jacket: Gap (similar)
Shirt: Zara (exact)
Jeans: Aeropostale (exact)
Shoes: Nine West (gift from Ashley) (similar)
I walked into class that day and my teacher said that I got extra credit for wearing sequins at 8 am. Turns out he was just kidding and I massively bombed that test. If only he wasn’t. For just once in my life I would like to get extra credit for showing up not looking like a Neanderthal that rolled out of bed and went to class.
Anyway, enough of that! This week I am celebrating my 2 year anniversary of blogging and I’m teaming up with some people to offer you an AWESOME gift card. Ashley, Nikki, Danielle, Jessica and I are giving away a Sephora gift card.

i love this outfit with the same amount of energy as i hated 8 am classes. they should be illegal. and it should be mandatory that everyone own a sequin jacket and a leopard shoe. you look so darn cheerful, i'd have thought you slept in an extra hour!

I have to agree, showing up and looking good should count for something. And really, a class on the first amendment? How often are you going to need that in life? Are you going to be a lawyer? Awful that you had to take it, awful that you bombed the test, but in the long run, I'm pretty sure it's not even going to matter.

Wow, a 7:30 am test? That is rough…at least you looked adorable though…extra points for that, right?
Amy Shaughnessy
That is awful. I can barely function at 7:30. When I have to make appointments or anything these days, it has to be after 9. I know people think I'm a wimp but I just don't care. I love this top and cardigan together. They were obviously meant to go together.

Your outfit is super adorable!! I remember having a few 7 or 8 am tests back in the day that seemed like torture, but just you wait. I now get into work at 7 on the regular because I want to go in that early. Post-college life is weird.

I find that looking/dressing cute makes stressful times a little bit better, so you're right!

You look adorable- and I'm not just biased because of the great pumps. 🙂
Happy 2 years! All of this school stress will be behind you in no time, and we'll be celebrating your success on a summer patio here soon enough. 🙂

I took a first amendment class in college too! Actually it was called "free speech and the first amendment". It was really hard. I feel your pain.
Darcy
Hahaha I always HATED finals at 7:30 AM!! Class never starts earlier than 8 am… what makes them think its okay to have a final before then!? Ugh.

oh geez! I am so not a morning person, so I always made sure my earliest classes started at 10, but then finals week rolled around and they would have super early test times. NOT COOL! Oh well, at least you look amazing, and you will be done SO SOON!

Your teach should give you extra credit for wearing a sparkly jacket so early in the morning! You look great, and I love this outfit! Early morning finals are the worst. I remember I had one for statistics the last day of school at 7:30 in the morning. I was in the dorms and the girls next to me were all done with their finals so stayed up yelling and singing until 4 in the morning. I was so pissed. Hang in there!
Elena
Yep, I do not miss that part of college. Your outfit rocks though! I especially love the shoes:)

Just wait until you have a 7am Eastern teleconference you need to be wide awake for – except you're currently on a business trip in Pacific time, so guess when you need to get up? ;oP
Anyhoo – enjoy your days at school! (And that shirt is fab!)

Happy Blogaversary! Your outfit is so adorable, everything is a win win!! <3

Ummm I am pretty sure tests before 9 am should be banned. And 7:30?? That is just CRUEL. I love this outfit. That jacket is too cute, and the color looks fantastic on you.
