Quiet Waters

Hello!
I'm pretty excited about today's post because...it's not located in my backyard! I ventured out by myself to the lake in my city. I was pretty nervous because I'm not quite used to public photoshoots, but I'm hoping with time the paranoia of someone staring at/judging me will ease away. The water may be a yucky green, but I chose the lake because it's pretty much the center of the city, and because I'm wearing an especially nautical outfit. As you can see I went a bit picture happy today...So enjoy!

I am done with my exams! And it feels so good! I was in no condition to write a paper last night so thank goodness my professor extended the deadline until Monday. My brain was really hurting yesterday after two exams. The multiple choice questions for both exams were tricky, but I'm pretty sure my answers to the short-answer questions will save me.

I've had this red-striped top for months now. I don't really know why I hadn't worn it out before. I guess it fits better now that I've lost some weight. It's pretty long and could pass off as a mini-dress but I prefer it as a top.

Sadly, it just doesn't feel like summer. I blame the weather. Why am I still in tights? Why is there not even a hint of blue in the sky? I really hope it clears up this weekend because I need to go the beach!

I hope everyone has an amazing weekend!

Until next post,
Jasmine

outfit: red striped top -- forever 21; blue skirt -- uo; tights -- h&m; oxford flats -- payless

  1. So beautiful! You and the lovely photos you always take.

    Glad your exams are over. Work on that paper so you have the rest of the weekend free.
    Hope you're able to get to the beach.
    Once hot weather comes here it is always overcast and stormy. (such as the past few weeks.) But it's been in the 90's so I can't complain, too, much!

  2. yay for an extended deadline! the relief you're feeling is probably amazing, haha. :)
    this outfit makes me want to go sailing and i hope you disobeyed that no swimming rule and jumped right into the lake. these pictures are so lovely and i'm still nervous about having public photoshoots. i always go to deserted areas, even if the crowded area is more gorgeous. :P

  6. Kudos on venturing out of the comfort zone. It took me so long to do that, but living in an apartment complex forces one to do that. I love the red with the blue. So nautical:)

  8. You will get used to taking pictures is public, just start out with places in public that are private -like under this bridge for example- and when you get more comfortable more to little bit more public place and then repeat until you are able to take pictures smack dab in the middle of everyone without thinking twice!

    I bet you are so relieved to be done with exams. That is such a great feeling.

  15. Love how you wore a nautical-inspired outfit and had your photos taken by the lake :D I was a bit surprised to see you in black tights :p But from the pictures I can tell that the weather wasn't very friendly that day. Oh well, at least you look great, right? :D

    Congrats on finishing all your exams! Better enjoy your one-week off before the summer classes start ;)
