My Curtsy Obsession

Throughout my life, my peers always complimented me as a person with an amazing fashion sense. As blogging and Youtube are always great ways to show off my style in order to make money, it takes over hundreds of viewers and subscribers in order to make a living. And you know it takes a while(as in months-years), especially being a broke college student adulting around. 

A great app that lets you show off your style to make money in the matter of days and weeks is Curtsy! You make your closet a store, and girls near you rent your clothes. All you need to do is:

1. Upload the Curtsy app

2. Create an account

3. Tap the post button with the camera

4. Insert a picture of the item for rent

5. Input details about your product (price to rent at, color, style, sizing, occasion, etc.)

And your item is available for girls to rent!

I haven't had girls renting my products yet, but hopefully someone appreciates my closet enough for someone to have a piece of my style.

Go through my Curtsy here (link only works on mobile, not computer/laptop) and you get $10 credit!

Happy renting, Desi out!

Gameday Getway

Top, skirt, and earrings: Forever 21; Necklace and sunglasses: Catalog Connection; Purse: gifted; Shoes: TJ Maxx, Choker and pin: from my sorority

I had a fun gameday: the tailgates were LIT, I experienced a first home game win, and most of all I was  killin' it in this off-the-chain outfit!

This was a purple out; however you don't see that much cute purple in stores. Until I went to Forever 21 and saw with light purple cropped long sleeve top, I HAD to cop it. 

I went full on baddie in this super cute quilted leather skirt, big hoop earrings and hardware toed booties. Then I went a little gaudy with the gold wrap beaded necklace and crossbody purse. I had to put on a pair of stylish shades for this sunny day.

Gamedays in college are a great opportunity to dress the heck up in school colors and be a little fancy (you can't get to much of it) with your outfit.

Chunky Sweaters Came in a Little Early This Year

Sweater: TJ Maxx, Skirt:Boohoo.com, Necklace:Versona, Boots: Target, Earrings: Forever 21, Bag(not shown much): Nine West

Gucci Mane's bricksquad came in a little early this year when 10/17 came around, it became cold. And after scoping through TJ Maxx and finding out that up-ed their sweater game this year, I HAD to put my sweaters to good use.

This sweater is literally one of the best tops I purchased this year. It is a dolman sleeve, and I could throw it with any bottom to make it look good.

The envelope skort has come to play in order to add a pop of color to this outfit full of tans. The over-the-knee boots add extra warmth and style without freezing me legs to death.

Then I had to have my metallics with this Kendra Scott-inspired necklace and HUGE gold hoops. I don't know about you, but I am obsessed with huge hoops that scream BADDIE across it.

Just a Little Glimpse of Summer

Top: a friend's closet, Jeans: Target, Shoes: Wish, Bag: Stein Mart, Hoops: Belk

Please don't tell me that I can't wear white jeans after Labor Day. I am so shook that this look is inspired by Show Me Your Mumu because of the boho vibe, and apparently this particular brand is known for its lavish flare pants. I recently liked Mumu's post on Instagram (@showmeyourmumu) about cutting of the hem of your favorite flare jeans, and I am LIVING.

This top has a unique choker neck design so I don't have to wear a necklace, which is rare for me because I love to have something around my neck when I dress up. I love this flowiness under the bust, which is really popular among girls dressing up on the go.

Cutting off the hem of the flare jeans is the best decision of my life. Not only it is great for petite frames like me, but it adds a dimension to the look. Then I have to complete this look with an edgy sandal from Wish which is cheaply made, but worth it because it is very trendy and it adds something unique to the outfit.

This look is great for out and about whether you are going out to eat, or to a casual party.

Gingham Moments

Top: Charlotte Russe, Skirt: Forever 21, Necklace: Forever 21, Shoes: Wish, Earrings: Belk

With the end of summer and the beginning of fall, different pieces, prints, and fabrics change. But one of the things that should be appropriate year round is gingham. This off the shoulder long sleeve blouse sums up the reason. The thing in particular that I like about the blouse is the ruched sleeves. The sleeves add a unique dimension to the blouse that show elegance and that extra-ness.

I kept the girliness of the top with a sweet salmon pink skirt.  Who knows?  Pink and blue is that perfect summer-to-fall combination of colors, especially with navy blue.

However, the girly look here has some edge. I toughened things up with these accessories: black platform sandals, gold chain choker, and huge gold hoops.

This look is perfect for going out to go dancing, and I literally had a fun time wearing this ensemble.

How do you transition your look for fall?

Welcome to G-Vegas

Top: Belk, Shorts: Catalog Connection, Shoes: Madden Girl, Necklace: Versona

On August 16th, I stepped foot on the campus of East Carolina University. After settling into my dorm it was a really hard time not being by family that I dearly love, but at the same time I now have the freedom to do things I wanted to do. However, that freedom enables me to make mistakes and learn from them.

So from all of that commotion, I have a new roommate not only because my old one paid the enrollment fee pretty late, but I got accepted into the Business Living Learning Community. Her name is Claudia from Virginia, and I am pretty pumped about living with her.

My dorm room colors remain the same from the last few blog posts, but my roommate has yellow instead of pink. At least my dorm room came together and we are really happy with the outcome.

The last picture is what I wore for Thursday night in college, where I checked out this crazy good Mexican restaurant, Chico's. I am really impressed with their chips and dip, and the crunchy chicken tacos were banging. Back to the outfit, the colors of the top and shoes were determined by the colors of the skirt, and with a really cute Kendra Scott-esque necklace I am really impressed of how the ensemble worked out.

I can not wait of what these 4 years will take me, and I hope it is for the better.

How Do You College?

Top and wrap choker: Forever 21, shorts: Old Navy, shoes: Chacos, bracelets: unofficial campus bookstore, earrings: Belk

Arrrgh! I went through college orientation at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC, and I am so excited about being there in the fall. After going through the worst speaker on the first day, trying out Sup Dogs (the chicken fingers are so tasty), getting a first strike in bowling in so many years, and meeting new friends, orientation became a rewarding, fun experience!

Here are some good tips for having an amazing orientation:

1. Do not forget shower shoes if you are staying in a residence hall! Since I slept in the residence hall, I had to take a shower in a communal shower. The floors will be pretty gross (because, you know), and you need to protect your beautiful feet from getting fungus and all of the other pathogens.
2. Keep your orientation schedule. On the first day, I forgot to bring my orientation schedule, which left me lost all over campus. Plus, your phone won't be there for long because it will lose power in hours. Having your schedule with you on paper hell help you get to where you need to be and all of the events and what nots that you probably need to attend.
3. Bring a blanket and pillow. The residence hall bedding is really uncomfortable if you decide to sleep there, so how I had a good night's sleep is that I bought a really comfortable pillow and blanket.
4. Bring a backpack/tote that is big! You will be carrying heaps of paper, t-shirts, stickers, and other free stuff that organizations and programs give you during orientation. Also, bring a wristlet for getting food and other nice stuff.
5. Explore your college town. I went to downtown Greenville for dinner with friends at SupDogs, plus shopping for the cutest shorts at one of their cutest boutiques in town, Catalog Connection! Exploring your college town will make you knowledgeable of what businesses will be around in your college town for your time in college.
6. Don't forget to visit your dining hall. I ate at the West End dining hall for breakfast, and I had the best turkey sausage links ever! You also need to have a feel for the dining hall at school and to access what things you get to try out! I like drinking tea, and there is a place where you have your hot water for your tea.
7. Wear comfy shoes. It was hot, so I wasn't really feeling sneakers. However, I bought my first pair of Chacos just in time for orientation! They are really comfortable, and after walking for hours, I even had a tan from them. You will be walking so much that you will be tired minutes later.
8. Last, but not least, meet new people! I met some amazing people that love Lilly like I do, suck at bowling like I do, and some that are planning to be in the military. You can find so many unique things about them, and hey! You have made a friend that will be by you side during your college years.

Anyways, if you have not gone through orientation, these are very valuable advice from a person who has already gone through orientation. I am excited for August 16th, my move in day to college. 

By the way I posted a new video on my YouTube channel that will showcase my purchases from orientation and also in town.
