October 2, 2015 Abby HathornLeave a comment

Hello, fabulouses, and welcome back to the blog!

It’s Friday *sighs and plops down in comfy chair* THANK GOODNESS! This week has been never ending, and I have a feeling this next week will be filled with lots of work, too! Thank goodness for coffee *wink*

ANYWAY–this weekend is merely a transition into SOME AWESOME THINGS for all of October! Let me tell y’all a little bit about my October :)

I will be interviewing NBC’s Tracie Potts for Direction: Northeast at Northeast State Community College. I am SO VERY excited about this broadcasting opportunity! EEK! Stay tuned for more info *wink*
I have like a bajillion papers due–let’s not talk about it…I’m just going to say that I am glad that Starbucks is open late.
I am getting ready to tour transfer universities. #stressful #paperwork
*fingers crossed* I am working on a new project; however, I do not want to spill any beans until it’s official-official as to when it will be released.
I have fall break to look forward to–that means a 5 day weekend of #NetflixAndChill *wink*
The blog *might* be receiving a little makeover this month–if all goes according to plan!
AND…last but not least, I have a SUPER fabulous blog series coming soon *happy dance*

Stay Fabulous,

Weekly Whistle: College Orientation Outfit + Beauty Giveaway

June 25, 2014 Abby HathornLeave a comment

Hello, fabulouses, and welcome back to the blog!

Yesterday, I attended freshman orientation at Northeast State Community College in Blountville, Tennessee, and it was absolutely amazing! I got my fall term schedule…my student ID…and a microwave from my mom and dad for tackling orientation sans parents.

The Northeast State Blountville campus is so beautiful and full of wonderful professors + it has a killer Mass Communications and Theater department…the more I talk about it, the more excited I become. Whoo hoo–E! News or Vogue here I come *wink*

Okay, that is enough college chat–there will be plenty of time for that once fall term rolls around *wink* Now, let’s take a look at the outfit details about what I wore to college orientation + why it works.

Blouse: Deep South Pout

Shorts: J.Crew, The Outlet Shops of Grand River

Belt: American Eagle

Sandals: Born, DSW (Birmingham, Alabama)

Why it works:

This outfit worked perfectly for college orientation because it was comfy yet totally cute. I could have worn Nike shorts and a tank top and would have been comfortable, BUT I wanted to make a fashionable impression. And what better way is there to do that than by dressing cutely in bright hues! wink

WAIT BEFORE YOU GO!
