Fake Graduation

So I officially became a graduate student this past weekend, but I didn't actually graduate from Stony Brook so they wouldn't give me the cap and gown sitch. So, since I didn't spend the $70 on the cap and gown I got a nice dress instead. I didn't take any photos of just me, but this is one of me and my roommates...

The dress is from JC Penny's (all of their sun dresses are 50% off right now by the way!) and the shoes are from target a while ago. I also had just moved all of my stuff out of my place so I had put my hair up and just took it down right before I took these photos... whoops.

Graduation and beyond...

So my week continued... and I have pictures of my outfits from every night but one, so I'm pretty proud of myself.

Friday night:

Commencement Ball

It was a formal, but I didn't go all out prom dresses like many of my classmates, cause you know me - not very big on the huge fancy dresses!! But it was an AWESOME night. So much fun hanging with all of my friends, and getting one last ridiculous evening before that scary graduation thing.

Dress from Express (yay coupons making things afordable), shoes from payless - they are baller and I'm completely obsessed with them!!! Again the drink in hand is just a bonus!


Saturday Night:

Family Dinner dance. Except none of our families came. My roommates and I pretended to be each others family. And we hung out with Avery's parents. This is the night where I don't have a picture of my outfit. But it was a dress you have all seen before, so nothing special.

Then I did this crazy thing called graduate. Supersuper weird. I am currently sitting in my room contemplating what exactly it means, and not being able to wrap my mind around it. I want to call all of you to talk and such, but don't have the time before bed. So I will call you later this week and explain my complete confusion about this whole life thing that seems to be going on around me. But here is one more picture just to make up for it!



I miss you all, and I hope you enjoyed the updates!!

P.S. Yes, I really was that obnoxiously colorful for graduation!!!

Two nights of debauchery

So here we go....


Night 1:
We went to two bars that were across the street from eachother. It was absurd, and we all got super shwasted, cause no driving was involved. However, we looked adorable.


The shirt is from Rue21 (cost $3), the belt is the same one from Wet Seal (I like it a lot), jeans from charlotte Russe, and I wore sneakers, cause that is how much I cared about looking pretty!!









Night 2:
We went to Mohegan Sun. Which in theory sounds awesome, and it was. Except that there were no early buses back, so we were stuck there until 2:30 and didn't get home until 4:30. I'm sitll exhausted. But again, I looked super cute.

The shirt is from Kohl's - the front is cute and scrunched, but you can't tell in the picture. (The bright pink bra is just a bonus). Same jeans from Charlotte Russe, and boots from Target!

These are the boots I wore, just to give you an idea!

More to follow <3

To appease...

This is my first post ever on our blog due to my lack of a camera. There will be more to follow after this weekend, because I will have many fancy occasions with worthy outfits.

This is the outfit I wore to my Theater Program's Banquet. It was a pretty casual thing, we ran it ourselves, but it was tons of fun!

The dress is from Target a few years ago; the belt is from Wet Seal, and the flipflops I stole from my roommate.

My favorite part is the wine glass ;-)

Pretty basic, but more to follow!

I miss you all like crazyy

Mother in Resident.

Here on the Closet Connection, June is our resident Mommy. When we were younger and we used to fantasize about our adult lives, she wasn't the one we expected to settle down first. Ashley was. Then she found Sean, without a doubt the other half to her whole. Then came Aiden. June would have been the first to tell you she didn't really like babies. Of course the truth is she didn't really like OTHER peoples babies. Then her son was born, and she became this whole other person, a Mom. A fantastic one at that. He is her everything now. She feeds him, bathes him, makes sure his life is generally a blast. Like a typical 2 year old boy, he doesn't always appreciate it like he should. That's what she has girlfriends for. Women who stand in awe of her, and the mother she's become. Who see her as an inspiration for the mothers they someday hope to be.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, JUNE!
