Exams outfit

Crikey. Here's what Annabel wore to finals. I was decidedly NOT that cool in college. I think I wore pajama pants. (I love how she rolled the striped sleeves up with the cardigan.)

Don't feel bad Jo I wore pajama pants too in college! I rolled out of bed & wore whatever usually. I love her shoes!! Good luck to her on her finals too!

Katie said...

In college I always dressed up for exams. It made me feel smarter and more confident going in. PJs while styidng, sure, but dress up for tests (Those who dress well test well...).

Paige said...

i wore pajama pants to class in college too with a fratty shirt and flip flops. that was the uniform! sad but true! i love the rolled up sleeves too! and the clogs - pretty!

maggie said...

this girl is really pretty!! i love the bedhead.

Angie said...

Oh my gosh, I think the only time I wore jeans in college was when I was going out on the weekend. Other than that- sweats and flip flops all the way!

But damn. This girl's got style!

I had the 'exam bun' look during final university exams! Thankfully photos were only taken at graduation!

kelsie said...

Crikey, indeed!

Joanna Goddard said...

haha, the exam bun! i know exactly what you mean! (cringe)

Lisa Mane said...

Proud to say that I've never once worn pj's/sweatpants/flipflops outside of my own room in college: feels much better in every way to get dressed properly every day. But I'm graduating on Sunday so maybe I should give the whole college-sweatpants thing a try just for the hell of it :P

Wow, it is very nice!

asia b said...

Love stripes! And cardigans!! And this makes me want to rediscover my college clogs...

Amy said...

I wore going-out clothes, because as soon as exams were done, it was party time. Straight to the bar. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200.

Caroline said...

Totally cute! I wasn't the chicest in college either, no worries.

I'm not that cool...now.

erin said...

i am still not this cool. cutest little outfit of the morning. i love her clogs!

samantha chu said...

my mom called my senior year of colege my "lost year" because it was like i fell off the fashion map and had no time to care. i usually love getting dressed every day, but i found myself wearing my boyfriend's sweats to the library one day and i knew i had reached an all time low!!

i adore your blog, and i am sure you looked fabulous in college!

How fun, I love the striped shirt! I usually wore whatever I saw first - I was too much in a panic about the upcoming exams and too tired from staying up cramming the night before!

Lindsay said...

I love this! I always "dressed" for exams in college. For me, when I look put together, I think "together".

Pinecone Camp said...

She looks adorable. Love that look. Hope she aced her exam!

Joanna Goddard said...

totally agree that dressing up makes you feel smarter. i once read that you should dress up even for a phone interview, which totally makes sense to me.

iheartkiwi said...

what a great school look! i love the way she cuffed her jeans.

i have a striped cardigan that always makes me feel smart. i wear it for my toughest tests :)

A.Co said...

Good call on the NOT cool in college. I personally don't understand how I survived it WITHOUT Uggs (which didn't exist yet). Seriously.

Mind you... probably a good thing or I would have worn them every.single.day.

katecreate said...

She looks really cute. Whenever I took a test in college, I would wear something nice. I had a hard time wanting to come in sweats and a tee shirt.

Christina said...

That is what I need, a beige-ish cardigan to go with my nautical stripes.

Tonia said...

I had a hot water bottle stuffed up my jumper because it was so flippin' cold! Definitely not cool.

Emom said...

nice touch the sleeves....smiles.

Amber said...

I would always skip the make-up routine for the whole finals week and it was amazing how crazy I looked by the end. Even my mom said, "I don't think I've seen your face like that ever" because I usually at least had leftover mascara on.

Elle Sees said...

i wore pjs too! Had to be comfortable. And I wore a sweater since I was always cold.

Giulia said...

She looks great. She looks like most of us (at my age) when we were at university. Oh my Lord, you guys wore pj pants? Aieeee. I just saw someone at the corner store in her pjs & flip flops. I'm trying to be calm. I need a swooning chaise...

good weekend;)

ahha I love this. A girl that I worked with always got decked out during finals in Santa Barbara b/c she said it was her time to shine when everyone else look skuzzy :)

Well, at least she gets an A for style!

very married said...

i always get dressed for finals... gets me in the right mindset!

annabelle said...

oh MY! she looks so gorgeous - and not stressed out at all! i bounce from getting glammed up on the morning of finals as a confidence booster to tied up hair and yesterday's floor-worthy clothes. clogs were never in there, but she looks amazing in them!x

Dee said...

This is a fabulous outfit! I found that I put more effort into dressing for class in graduate school than I did my first four years of college. As a "professional student" of sorts, I figured it was time to look a bit more polished in class!

photohogger said...

I always loved dressing up for exams...somehow felt like I would do better hahahahaaha!
This is a super cute and comfortable outfit. Love it!

Color Collective said...

so darling!!

La Feem said...

This is the first time I'm liking the clog look, hopefully she did well! (I'm sure she did looking so fab.)

Melissa Blake said...

Oy. If only I were that cool in college...

Victoria @ Hibiscus Bloem said...

Such a cool outfit. I wasn't into the cloggs a while back but I'm really coming round to liking them now. She looks great.

le pique-nique said...

she is too cute!

starcakeastrology.blogspot.com said...

she looks casual yet polished! i wore crazy dresses and cut my hair off my last year of college....

rosiecampbell said...

I was the girl in pajama pants too! Definitely not this cool.

miss allaby: the glad girl said...

"Exam bun" is now "casual Friday bun" and, I confess, I may be sporting one right. now.
Don't judge me. :)

also that outfit is adorable.

casey k said...

isn't she adorable. she inspires my outfits everyday!

Estelle said...

Good lord. Not only was not that cool in college I'm not even close to that cool today. Sad.

Whimsy Being said...

I love her style....yes, i don't remember wearing anything cool by any means to college finals, though I hear that there's a study that proves you get better test scores if you wear your best during exams =)

Cupcakes and Cashmere said...

Thanks for linking to Beso, Joanna! I was the queen of sloppy dressing in college. I cringe at the thought of any of those pictures surfacing as I didn't just wear sweats, but insisted on wearing ones that belonged to my boyfriend that were gigantic on me.

hip hip gin gin said...

Beautiful! I see Annabel is following my old college roommates advice: "look good-feel good. feel good-do good." I've never forgotten that saying since freshman year, and I swear it works. By the looks of it Annabel aced her finals!!

Michelle Elaine said...

I ♥ Annabel! Shes a halfie/happa like myself & C.C. :)

KeepItFvncy,

allison said...

Copious Couture said...

Love her style!!! She looks so cute! Thanks for sharing her blog!

you know what they say... dress for success!

this free bird said...

please. when finals time hit i was wearing 2 day old sweats or some crazy pajamas from the night before.

when i saw her little outfit earlier this week i couldn't help wishing i looked like that NOW, never mind in college. and her hair?? she brings new meaning to the words lightly tousled.

love her.

Connie (thepaperdialogues) said...

Once I had a friend who REALLY dressed up for finals. He made sure he looked good for finals. When I asked him why, he said, "Only you know that you failed....but everyone else can SEE you!" Haha!

soisses said...

YOU DID IT! congrats... i hope, i am allowed to congrat you - i think you did the stuff.

that outfit looks great.

i did my exam last week ;-) but i am not finish right now.

stephanie renee said...

i love her look! so simple and chic! i think i would still rock the sweats to exams though if i had to do it all over again.

Mabel and Zora said...

We love this outfit. Comfy and stylish. Have a great weekend.

Laura Trevey said...

The clogs are a must with all the walking around campus!

Wahzat Gayle said...

I had to walk across a busy highway to get to my exams... so yes I dressed decent. Love that striped sleeves peeking through the cardigan look though.

How ya feeling by the way... time is drawing closer :)
Have a great weekend

Polarn O. Pyret said...

Check out those stripes!

Joslyn said...

Annabel said...

Joanne Angelina said...

bailey said...

How adorable! I only graduated two yrs ago and was never that cute... hmm inspiration! I have GOT to buy a pair of clogs!

Becca Jane said...

this is the chic-eset exam outfit I've ever seen

amynicole said...

everything about her outfit and her home is beautiful!

i've been told a few different times that if you do dress up for exams or interviews [phone or in person] you will do much better because you already feel so good about yourself, which results in you being more confident.

Cara said...

Ahhh! Not just for exams but I think I wore Juicy Couture every single day I was in college...I would never think to be this chic...I needed to be comfortable or I couldn't concentrate...Have an wonderful weekend!
Ciao!

Maki said...

I'm not sure if I ever dressed up for exam although I always had a pulumeria on my ear as a good luck - living in hawaii, flower made everything pretty and better for me....

xoxo

Masha said...

That outfit is so cute. I dressed up for exams depending on the mood...

Helen said...

This is adorable, I love the striped shirt!

beth said...

Very cute girl and great outfit...I would have been wearing sweat pants too and then only get dolled up on the weekends!

Anonymous said...

Those clogs are so cute! Can you tell us where she bought them or the brand/style?

nicole said...

I wear sweatpants not only to my finals, but to every single class, hahah.

Ashley Lynn Fry said...

L-O-V-E, love this!

She is ridiculously cute.

Josie said...

What a cutie! Love the striped sleeves!

I was happy if I put on sweats instead of my pajama pants for finals! My things have changed.

Tanya (a Taste of T) said...

Dang. I'm not even that cool now. Super cute

Ellie Jacobson said...

I want those shoes..I had a pair somewhat like that when I was a young girl...the awesome clogs!

thebeautyphilosopher said...

Ha I was definitely not cool! A teen of the 90s I wore jeans and a baggy T. Not cool baggy. Frumpy baggy. I also had bad hair and self-cut bangs.

Gorgeous! I love that outfit

Erin @ SYL: Slipcover Your Life said...

I think i wore sweatpants, a stained t-shirt and a side pony... She puts us all to shame...

paula said...

um, yes, I was definitely not this cool. PJ's were worn a many a times, ugh.

pen tablets said...

I had to be comfy, but never wore pj's outside my house and never will. Well worn jeans and a cute top, that's my uniform of choice.

hildegarde said...

Love, love, love. the colour palette, the fit, simple textures, oooh swoon.

graphics tablet said...

This is a very nice outfit! So simple and comfortable but still proper for an exam. I didn't take care about the clothes very much when I was in college, I didn't even take care of the school itself. Luckily I managed to graduate.

Leigha said...

I wish I was this fabulous!
