Exams outfit

Crikey. Here's what Annabel wore to finals. I was decidedly NOT that cool in college. I think I wore pajama pants. (I love how she rolled the striped sleeves up with the cardigan.)

  1. Don't feel bad Jo I wore pajama pants too in college! I rolled out of bed & wore whatever usually. I love her shoes!! Good luck to her on her finals too!

  2. In college I always dressed up for exams. It made me feel smarter and more confident going in. PJs while styidng, sure, but dress up for tests (Those who dress well test well...).

  5. Oh my gosh, I think the only time I wore jeans in college was when I was going out on the weekend. Other than that- sweats and flip flops all the way!

    But damn. This girl's got style!

  6. I had the 'exam bun' look during final university exams! Thankfully photos were only taken at graduation!

    ReplyDelete
  7. haha, the exam bun! i know exactly what you mean! (cringe)

  8. Proud to say that I've never once worn pj's/sweatpants/flipflops outside of my own room in college: feels much better in every way to get dressed properly every day. But I'm graduating on Sunday so maybe I should give the whole college-sweatpants thing a try just for the hell of it :P

  9. Love stripes! And cardigans!! And this makes me want to rediscover my college clogs...

    ReplyDelete
  10. I wore going-out clothes, because as soon as exams were done, it was party time. Straight to the bar. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200.

  11. Totally cute! I wasn't the chicest in college either, no worries.

  14. my mom called my senior year of colege my "lost year" because it was like i fell off the fashion map and had no time to care. i usually love getting dressed every day, but i found myself wearing my boyfriend's sweats to the library one day and i knew i had reached an all time low!!

    i adore your blog, and i am sure you looked fabulous in college!

  18. How fun, I love the striped shirt! I usually wore whatever I saw first - I was too much in a panic about the upcoming exams and too tired from staying up cramming the night before!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I love this! I always "dressed" for exams in college. For me, when I look put together, I think "together".

  20. She looks adorable. Love that look. Hope she aced her exam!

    ReplyDelete
  21. totally agree that dressing up makes you feel smarter. i once read that you should dress up even for a phone interview, which totally makes sense to me.

    ReplyDelete
  22. what a great school look! i love the way she cuffed her jeans.

    i have a striped cardigan that always makes me feel smart. i wear it for my toughest tests :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Good call on the NOT cool in college. I personally don't understand how I survived it WITHOUT Uggs (which didn't exist yet). Seriously.

    Mind you... probably a good thing or I would have worn them every.single.day.

  24. She looks really cute. Whenever I took a test in college, I would wear something nice. I had a hard time wanting to come in sweats and a tee shirt.

    ReplyDelete
  25. That is what I need, a beige-ish cardigan to go with my nautical stripes.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I had a hot water bottle stuffed up my jumper because it was so flippin' cold! Definitely not cool.

    ReplyDelete
  27. nice touch the sleeves....smiles.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I would always skip the make-up routine for the whole finals week and it was amazing how crazy I looked by the end. Even my mom said, "I don't think I've seen your face like that ever" because I usually at least had leftover mascara on.

    ReplyDelete
  29. i wore pjs too! Had to be comfortable. And I wore a sweater since I was always cold.

    ReplyDelete
  30. She looks great. She looks like most of us (at my age) when we were at university. Oh my Lord, you guys wore pj pants? Aieeee. I just saw someone at the corner store in her pjs & flip flops. I'm trying to be calm. I need a swooning chaise...

    good weekend;)

  33. i always get dressed for finals... gets me in the right mindset!

    ReplyDelete
  34. oh MY! she looks so gorgeous - and not stressed out at all! i bounce from getting glammed up on the morning of finals as a confidence booster to tied up hair and yesterday's floor-worthy clothes. clogs were never in there, but she looks amazing in them!x

    ReplyDelete
  35. This is a fabulous outfit! I found that I put more effort into dressing for class in graduate school than I did my first four years of college. As a "professional student" of sorts, I figured it was time to look a bit more polished in class!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I always loved dressing up for exams...somehow felt like I would do better hahahahaaha!
    This is a super cute and comfortable outfit. Love it!

    ReplyDelete
  37. This is the first time I'm liking the clog look, hopefully she did well! (I'm sure she did looking so fab.)

    ReplyDelete
  38. Oy. If only I were that cool in college...

    ReplyDelete
  39. Such a cool outfit. I wasn't into the cloggs a while back but I'm really coming round to liking them now. She looks great.

    ReplyDelete
  40. she looks casual yet polished! i wore crazy dresses and cut my hair off my last year of college....

    ReplyDelete
  41. I was the girl in pajama pants too! Definitely not this cool.

    ReplyDelete
  42. "Exam bun" is now "casual Friday bun" and, I confess, I may be sporting one right. now.
    Don't judge me. :)

    also that outfit is adorable.

    ReplyDelete
  43. isn't she adorable. she inspires my outfits everyday!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Good lord. Not only was not that cool in college I'm not even close to that cool today. Sad.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I love her style....yes, i don't remember wearing anything cool by any means to college finals, though I hear that there's a study that proves you get better test scores if you wear your best during exams =)

    ReplyDelete
  46. Thanks for linking to Beso, Joanna! I was the queen of sloppy dressing in college. I cringe at the thought of any of those pictures surfacing as I didn't just wear sweats, but insisted on wearing ones that belonged to my boyfriend that were gigantic on me.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Beautiful! I see Annabel is following my old college roommates advice: "look good-feel good. feel good-do good." I've never forgotten that saying since freshman year, and I swear it works. By the looks of it Annabel aced her finals!!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I ♥ Annabel! Shes a halfie/happa like myself & C.C. :)

    when i saw her little outfit earlier this week i couldn't help wishing i looked like that NOW, never mind in college. and her hair?? she brings new meaning to the words lightly tousled.

    love her.

  53. Once I had a friend who REALLY dressed up for finals. He made sure he looked good for finals. When I asked him why, he said, "Only you know that you failed....but everyone else can SEE you!" Haha!

    ReplyDelete

  64. this is the chic-eset exam outfit I've ever seen

    ReplyDelete
  65. everything about her outfit and her home is beautiful!

    i've been told a few different times that if you do dress up for exams or interviews [phone or in person] you will do much better because you already feel so good about yourself, which results in you being more confident.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Ahhh! Not just for exams but I think I wore Juicy Couture every single day I was in college...I would never think to be this chic...I needed to be comfortable or I couldn't concentrate...Have an wonderful weekend!
    Ciao!

  77. I want those shoes..I had a pair somewhat like that when I was a young girl...the awesome clogs!

    ReplyDelete
  78. Ha I was definitely not cool! A teen of the 90s I wore jeans and a baggy T. Not cool baggy. Frumpy baggy. I also had bad hair and self-cut bangs.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I seriously NEED those clogs. Do you know where they're from?

  81. I think i wore sweatpants, a stained t-shirt and a side pony... She puts us all to shame...

    ReplyDelete
  82. um, yes, I was definitely not this cool. PJ's were worn a many a times, ugh.

    ReplyDelete
  83. I had to be comfy, but never wore pj's outside my house and never will. Well worn jeans and a cute top, that's my uniform of choice.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Love, love, love. the colour palette, the fit, simple textures, oooh swoon.

    ReplyDelete
  85. This is a very nice outfit! So simple and comfortable but still proper for an exam. I didn't take care about the clothes very much when I was in college, I didn't even take care of the school itself. Luckily I managed to graduate.

  86. I wish I was this fabulous!
