Apologies for the lack of posts or updates over the past month but school has been keeping me so busy. Still have finals to go through but in less than a week (gasp!) I'll be done. I can't believe it's Christmas time already. This semester has flown by so quickly. I am posting some photos I've taken over the past month with my camera. Most of them are from another visit to the river but there are also some that were taken with my prime lens. 

 If you can't tell by now I sort of have a thing for this white duck. He's so adorable!

I have been loving maxi skirts the past few months because I think they are so versatile and practical. They make an outfit look dressed up and sophisticated without much effort. And they're really easy to wear. I personally like them more than maxi dresses because I think they transition well into the winter since they are not considered solely a "summer trend" like maxi dresses usually are. Here are some outfits:

I think that this skirt is really elegant and simple but it's a little too formal looking. So I added a t-shirt to make it more casual. I'm wearing platform shoes underneath the skirt because it's a little too long to wear with flats but I still want comfort( Ad-Longs are super comfy).

 This red velvet maxi skirts is perfect for the fall and winter. It's warm enough to wear outside with a pair of tights.
