Stampede Style Stakeout Take One

This morning, after grabbing a caffe misto at Starbucks, I walked outside of the library and was very pleased to see a very well dressed gentlemen studying on a bench. Excited by the fact that he could indeed be my very first post, I approached him, but to my dismay, he didn't seem very enthusiastic about getting his picture taken. Although he seemed flattered, he wasn't going to stop studying for his test for me to snap a few photos. I told him I understood, thanked him for his time, and wished him good luck on his test. 

After my very first rejection, I was terrified of the thought of being rejected again, so it took me quite a while before I saw Ariana. I actually can't even take credit for spotting her first. At the time she was walking by, I was being consoled by my friend, James, who was trying his best to reassure me that there will be other people to take photos of.  Luckily, my other friend, Bryan, set eyes on her for me and gave me the extra push to approach her.

I was so happy that he gave me that push because Ariana is so sweet! I love her lipstick and high bun and everything about her outfit. After chatting with her for a bit, I found out that she likes to switch up her style and loves to channel not only girly chic, but the punk rock look as well. Working at Forever 21, her paycheck mainly goes back into their clothes, and I am definitely inspired.

As I was taking photos of Ariana, I also had the pleasant surprise of running into my younger brother, Eric! He's a freshmen at UTA this year, and he was definitely rocking the collegiate look. I love his maroon A&F cardigan and his brand new lace up Steve Madden kicks tied the whole look together.

The last photo you see is a picture of my very own outfit - a Nasty Gal polkadot peekaboo shoulder top and an creme pleated maxi skirt. The photo was taken by the lovely Kim Inthirath and you can take a peak at her photos at her website http://kiminthirath.22slides.com/

I hope you enjoyed my very first post! Please comment and leave suggestions if you have any. I would love to hear from you!
