Guess Who's Back...

...back again (there was an Eminem reference there somewhere).

Long time no see.

The past few months have been a whirlwind for me and I've done a lot of growing up. I was taught many valuable lessons but mostly that life is incredible and that we have to make the most of what we've got. Any of my friends or family members could tell you that I'm am 110% a perfectionist. I'm prone to overthinking and have a tendency to be a pessimist.

Since the last time we spoke, I have changed my outlook on life a bit and have come to the conclusion that I don't want to spend what could be my last day overthinking and not having a great time. I want to do what I love, be with who I love, and live in the moment, not in the past.

I'm a SENIOR now. It's crazy, even for me. My last few months of Junior year were filled with AP tests, finals, and planning. As any teen who survived their third year of high school would tell you, Junior year was tough but after a stressful year is seems like things have finally fallen into place. But, something has been missing, and that thing has been Freshmen Fashion, so I decided to overhaul my blog and get back at it.

I've grown up. Freshmen Fashion has grown up. I'm ready to document the next chapter of my life. 

Here's what I've been up to most recently.

Pearl by Georgina Chapman for JCPenny

You may know her from Project Runway: Allstars where she is a judge, but now, Georgina Chapman of Marchesa has a collection of formal wear called Pearl available at JCPenney for affordable prices. This fun and girly collection includes everything from short, flirty dresses to long, elegant evening gowns perfect for prom. Here are a few of my favorites. 

From right to left: Organza Rosette Dress $70, Pearl by Georgina Chapman, jcpenny.com. Strapless Rose Applique Dress $70, Pearl by Georgina Chapman, jcpenny.com. Long Sleeve Lace Dress $110, Pearl by Georgina Chapman, jcpenny.com.

I find all of these dresses and looks to be incredibly gorgeous. Although the prices may be small, the clothing is anything but cheap looking. This collection has something for everyone and for every formal event.
