Before you ask- yes I am aware that it is December, and yes I know that I live in the state of New York haha. However, I do think that since it hasn’t snowed yet, crop tops are still appropriate attire! Maybe that’s my inner New Englander showing though haha. Us Vermonters wear shorts in 40 degree weather and trudge through feet of snow without blinking an eye! (Okay, we’ll probably complain about it a bit.) Can you tell I’m a bit homesick haha? I can’t wait for finals to be over so I can go home and see my family and friends.
Anyway, today’s OOTD features a pair of pants I discussed in my November Favorites post! This comfy pair of printed cotton pants from Forever 21 are my favorite pair lately! They’re high-waisted and they have pockets! I paired them with a black racerback ribbed crop top that I knotted. (See it styled with a skirt here!) I topped off the look with a beanie. (that I definitely did NOT steal from my boyfriend…hehe)
As I continue to blog, I find myself coming up with ideas on how to improve my photography! I still have just a little point-and-shoot camera, but I’m saving up for a nicer one π I really like how these photos came out! I found a shipping crate on campus to use as my backdrop, and I love how the mustard and navy shades balance each other. I’ve been following lots of photography blogs on Pinterest lately, so hopefully some of their tips will end up paying off! π
In other news, I’m realizing by looking at these pictures how awfully pasty and white I am! (Any good self tanners? π )The sun practically reflects off me haha.

These pants are so crazy comfy and I think they’re so great for this holiday season, when all we want to do is be comfy and eat food πΒ What do you guys think? Any photography tips? How would you style these pants? Let me know in the comments! Thanks for stopping by π

I think no matter where you are, there’s always room for improvement! Even if you’re one of the best photographers, there’s always something new to learn or improve on. I live in New York too! Whenever I got to Canada to visit my boyfriend or my other friends, I see people wearing jackets with shorts in 10 degree weather…. as well as in 80 degree weather. Very odd to me, haha!

Love your pants! I think it’s definitely okay to still wear crop tops. It’s been kinda warm in the new york area lately (at least for December weather). The weather guy was saying that it might even reach back up to 60 soon. Weirdddd but I won’t complain.

I can’t believe it hasn’t gotten cold on the east coast yet. I have to say, I’m not that disappointed, I like being able to wear what I want without having to wear 1,000 layers. As for photography tips, I find that it’s all in the editing. There are a bunch of good free programs out there like Picassa. That’s what I would do before I upgraded to a nicer camera π
