Spice Girls: Posh Spice

I know Posh Spice (aka Victoria Beckham) is more well-known for her post-Spice years, style-wise, but that's not to say she didn't rock it during her Spice Girls years.

This look could work for any number of occasions. Add the cardigan for the day, and take it off and maybe change into a different pair of heels for night. It's definitely a cute, versatile look, because we don't wear uber-dressy clothes 24/7 like she was able to do.

This is a good look for those occasions where you do get to get all dolled-up. I included two dresses, because not everyone is comfortable with something as fitted as metallic dress, so I thought the purple one was a good alternative.

Urban Outfitters: Dress. ModCloth: Sandals
Dorothy Perkins: Belt. Monsoon: Bangles
Fred Flare: Necklace


Of the three, this is my favorite look. It's the most wearable look, as well. Overall, it's pretty simple, but I added some accessories (like the cute necklace) to add interest. I mean, the solid dress is pretty much begging for you to add some accessories. I chose to only add a few, to make them the focal point, but if you prefer more, go for it.

So, that's it for Posh Spice. She's another one where you need to ooze confidence. Occasionally shooting a fierce look to those watching you would help, too. Because she had some pretty intense looks.

Also, sorry I'm not particular chatty in this post! I really need to get back into the swing of blogging. But I had the sets made (Sporty Spice's, as well) for a few weeks, so I thought it was better than nothing, since you've already had to wait so long.

I'm Still Alive, I Promise

So, as you know, I've moved back into my dorm and in the midst of that, trying unpack, working, and not feeling good, I've kind of slacked on blogging. I'm almost done unpacking though, now that the rest of my stuff has arrived, so posts should pick up again within the next week.

Back to School Resolutions

So, I officially moved into my dorm yesterday (well, kind of-- I have more stuff to bring this weekend), and I started my job today, so it's time for some back to school resolutions. I've heard about this concept time and time again, but this is going to be the first year that I'm coming up with some for myself.

1. Go to the gym more frequently. I know, this is one of the things everyone says, but I was getting pretty good about it last semester. However, over the summer, I barely worked out. My goal is to make sure to go to the gym (or walk the track, etc) two or three times a week. And to not take the elevator up to the third floor, since it's really not that bad of a climb-- it's only one more flight than last year.

2. Become more decisive. As my roommate could tell you, I am the world's most indecisive person. It's awful. I'm going to try and work on it, so we'll see how it goes. Because really, I don't need to spend five minutes just trying to figure out what answer to pick on a Facebook quiz. That's ridiculous.

3. Be more positive. I already did a post on that, and it's pretty self-explanatory, so I don't want to bore you by repeating myself.

4. Save money. I have three major things that I'm saving for (study away, summer in England, and trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter), so I really have to start saving up my money. I used to be really good about being stingy, but I've gotten a little lax about that, and I really need to start saving. Hopefully it'll be easier since I have a job now, which means I finally have a steady flow of cash. It's not a lot, but everything helps.

5. Stop procrastinating. This is another one that everyone says they want to do, but I'm going to actively take measures to stop that. I get stressed really easily, and procrastinating is one way to guarantee that my stress level goes way up. And last semester I forced myself not procrastinate on studying for finals, and I felt way more confident and I did better. I mean, a class I thought I might get a B+ in, I ended up getting an A in. If nothing else, it showed how much of a difference it makes, and the desire to raise my GPA should be motivation enough (Calculus killed me, so I'm still in the process of mending it).

So, do you have any back to school resolutions?
