Six Items: boring and basic

Simplicity is an understatement for this outfit. Actually, I think only "boring" does it justice. The only thing saving me are the shoes. Leopard perks up just about anything, right? Just nod your head and tell me you agree with me regardless. Leopard print loafers have been on my wishlist for a few weeks now, so I caved and picked up this pair from Target. Again, I feel like they ALMOST redeem a boring black skirt and tee. Almost.

In other news, I started classes yesterday! My University starts much, much later in the year than most schools do. Oregon is a little different in that sense. But it feels great to be back on campus, going to classes, and lugging my books around with me everywhere. Okay, that last one was quite sarcastic.
