Hello Darlings,
Without the slightest idea as to what to wear or expect from the day to come.Sitting on my bed, putting on make-up, sipping on a double short espresso, and watching the morning news… I was wondering what story do my clothes tell? Is my outfit, like a book cover-and I am to be seen by it. As these thoughts were occupying my head, I was getting more nervous for the day that awaited me!!!
Last week, I received an e-mail from the art gallery director to come in on Monday(today) and participate in a promotional shoot for the University of Toronto. The first thing that hit my mind was…. OMG, what to wear? and ’till this moment I am not sure whether or not the outfit was ideal for the occasion. I am not sure what look I was going for or what exactly was expected out of me? Was I supposed to look like a young professional or just an everyday student…. because believe me the two are quite opposite. Instead, I settled for an outfit that felt right to me…. and it turned out to be perfect. When in doubt, I always wear what makes me feel fabulous.Because when you’re freaking out about other things, your outfit is the last thing that you should worry about… you should feel great and know it 
It doesn’t matter how fancy or simple it is, as long as you love it!

I decided on a simple top that I only tucked in the front with a pair of high waisted shorts and my favorite oxfords. Simple and chic. Actually, the other interns also wore shorts… which was a pleasant surprise. We all really did look coordinated, wearing our black shorts and simple tops. Great minds think alike? hahaha….
The setting of the photo shoot was set in the basement vault of the art gallery, where all of the art pieces are stored and where the creative thinking happens. Five of the interns were seated behind a huge table with a director, appearing to be having a wonderful and fun time.The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming. Isn’t that just studious?!
I am wearing: Ralph Lauren Top; Talula Shorts; Luc Kieffer Ring; Candela Tokyo Oxfords; Juicy Couture Laptop Bag; Ray Ban Wayfarers ( gift from Andrew).
After grueling but fun few hours… I set out to catch up on some reading in the galleries courtyard and then off to the library to continue working on the docent package. It was a long but interesting day….
…I actually enjoy spending time in my university, the atmosphere is very relaxed in the summer time and students are always outside in their private little worlds catching up on their work, plus the university offers many architecturally beautifully and stunningly landscaped getaways.If you ever visit Toronto, you must see the St. George Campus of University of Toronto. It is situated in the heart of downtown and is absolutely, overwhelmingly beautiful! I should take more pictures to show you darlings.
In my School Bag…
I also decided to include my school bag and belongings that I can’t live without…I always wonder what do people carry in their huge purses.
♥A laptop - my new Lenovo Think Pad that my daddy just got me.I adore it, I find it to be very serious looking. I can’t live without a laptop, it comes with me everywhere.
♥Oxford Art & Artists Dictionary - i must know everything!
♥” The Age of Innocence” by Edith Wharton - a novel to read while taking a break at Starbucks.
♥Ray Bans - I wear them 24/7. I feel more discreet and comfortable in sunnies, it’s like I am in my own little bubble.
♥Wallet - I love this leather baby blue wallet, it fits everything.
♥Binder - to keep my photocopies organized.
♥Lip Gloss and Translucent Powder - for on the go touch ups.
♥Cell Phone.

There is nothing more classic or elegant than a striped top. I love the lightly nautical theme of your outfit.
You look fabulous as always. Love the striped top with those shorts and i just start drooling when i see those shoes. Awesome!
I've never read "The Age of Innocence"; is it good? "Ethan Frome" was amazing.
Can't get over those oxfords. So fabulous!

You look really casual chic and your schoolbag adds such a cuteness to the outfit:)

I share your feeling about the sunglasses… "being in your own little bubble"… So true. Really like the outfit and can see that your pink ring goes with you everywhere.

W-O-W! I'd enjoy spending time at college too, had mine looked like that! Beautiful!!! I went to a big commuter scholl in Orange County, California. Nobody really hung around in between classes. It was kind of sad really.
Sounds like the shoot went well. You looked great. Perfect outfit choice! Enjoy the rest of your week =)
