Hello!
This last week of summer went by annoyingly fast. Robert and I tried to squeeze in one last beach trip today. We almost missed the sunset but we got there just in time to watch it go under the horizon. We then devoured our Del Taco chicken soft tacos. It's Taco Thursday after all! I'm so jealous that Robert has a whole month left of summer left. That used to be me when I was on the quarter system, but now I'm on the semester system. But it's okay. I can tease him in May when I get out earlier.
Speaking of school, I'm really not sure how I'm going to see Robert, let alone upkeep this blog through this semester. I have a job prospect at a pre-school that would be every afternoon from 1-5pm, and then I have night classes 3 times a week from 7-10pm. It's going to take a lot of effort to see Robert and to blog. I even had a freak out/emotional break down about our relationship last week because we're so used to seeing each other every day; and this is the first time in our 3.5+ year relationship that we're attending different schools and that our schedules don't coordinate perfectly. But of course being the amazing boyfriend he is, he reassured me that everything will be okay. And so it will be. It's high time I learn to suck it up and wake up early anyway. It's going to be a rough semester, so I apologize way ahead of time if I neglect you all. Hopefully it'll be worth it, and I'll be certified to be a pre-school teacher by the end of it. The only plus side I see to all this is that I won't have much time to shop at all and will probably be able to buy myself a new camera or lens! Another 21 for 21 challenge will be perfect sometime during this semester I think...
This dress has definitely been by go-to item this summer. I don't understand why I was so hesitant in buying it. On days when I'm not blogging, I'm usually in this dress. It's super comfortable yet cute at the same time. At the moment, all my outfit creativity is going towards planning outfits for NY so this was all I could think of this morning. That and I was running super late this morning. I have two outfits planned. It's the hardest thing not to debut my new goodies here, especially since I haven't had many new things since my 21 for 21 challenge began. I even have my duffel bag out and partially packed so I'm less tempted to wear them in the next three weeks. Can you tell how excited I am?
I hope those of you who are starting school next week have a memorable last summer weekend! It's kinda ironic that in this last week, it has finally started to feel like summer with 90+ degree weather. All summer long it's been in the 70s or 80s. This was definitely the best summer yet! I'm sad to see it go. I'll try to squeeze in one last outfit before school begins on Monday.
Until next post,
Jasmine
outfit: polka dot dress -- f21; red bow -- etsy; bow belt -- h&m; oxford flats -- aldo
you look gorgeous in these pictures with the sun setting behind you! i'm in love with this outfit and that dress is just so perfect on you. :)
ReplyDeleteI'M SO EXCITED TOO and i haven't even started planning my outfits. I know if I plan them too early I'll just end up wearing them. The night before you arrive I'm just going to be scrambling like crazy to put something together that I haven't already worn! It's horrible. Maybe I'll convince one of my roommates to take me shopping. I can't wait to see your outfits!!!!! THREE WEEKS <3
so adorable in that outfit hun!! :D you should really wear dresses more often! :D oh.. and tell me about being way too busy for the next months!?! that's like me too, but with work. and yes, i gotta make time to the boy too since we're in LDR. you and robert will be fine, don't worry! :D

cuuuuute dress!!
ReplyDeletei start school on monday as well. and seriously the weather is making me feel like its just the beginning of summer! it's so hot now and i'm really wishing it was cooler haha when before i was just like "where's the heat?"
U're sooooo cuuuute!!!
ReplyDeletethe dress, the red bow, so lovely ^o^
Thats such a cute dress! there's never enough polka dots in the world for me. That does sound stressful having to get used to your new schedule. I remember when my boyfriend first moved away to university and it was really difficult and even now, we go to school in different cities and only get to see each other on weekends during term. But don't worry too much, you adapt and it makes you appreciate the other person a lot more. Good luck with your new semester!
ReplyDeleteAww.. don't worry about not seeing Robert as often as you used to. He's a great guy and if he said it's going to be ok, then IT IS going to be ok :)
ReplyDeleteCute cute cute polkadot dress, Jasmine! Forever 21? I just went there last night and didn't see this dress! I hate Canadian F21 stores :( We're soooo behind!

love the dress with the bow belt!! so cute ^,^
ReplyDeleteI just adore this dress! With the red bow it reminds me of the 1950s :) I think just being apart from Robert is just a test of the strength of your relationship, and by overcoming that, you know you two can overcome any obstacle. That sounded really corny, but it's true! I know you and Robert will be fine no matter what. And that's okay, you should concentrate on school mainly and Robert, as blogging shouldn't be a priority (though I know I'll miss your frequent posts!). I like the semester system; five freakin' weeks off for winter break, yo!
ReplyDeleteyou are sooo cute. i love this outfit..esp the bow belt. and just so you know...i was in chicago as few weeks ago and went to h&m and saw this belt and thought of you and i had to get it...bc everytime i see you wearing it i fall in love!!! hahaha!! xoox
ReplyDeleteI love the outfit! So adorable and so you! I love that you have such a YOU style! And after almost 4 years, I'm sure you and Robert will make it work :D I wish you all the best!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty outfit, you look lovely ! You will have so much fun and I think you will find that your relationship will work fine and you will enjoy your time together even more !
ReplyDeleteThat is such an adorable dress! I totally understand why it's your go to piece. And if it's any consolation, I'm worried about the same things as well. I started my blog this summer, and will be working (hopefully) and going to school in a week. My boyfriend may be taking the semester off for health issues, so I'm worried about not seeing him (we go to the same school, but if he's not there and I'm there all the time, I'm afraid I won't see him much) and I'm worried my blog will fall by the wayside. I'm sure things will be okay for both of us though :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loveee your dress! You look so pretty, Jasmine! You'll get through the semester and it'll fly by! I had the worrssttt school year scheduling wise last year, but it honestly flew and was totally worth it! You and Robert will get through anything - you seem like such a strong couple! xo
