Luxe Weekend

Happy Friday, everyone! I'm updating from St. Louis, Missouri right now. I'm here with my debate team to compete at the Gorlock Tournament. Our team has only been doing LD debate since last year, but we are already making quite a name for ourselves. I'm hoping that our team brings home some hardware (trophies) this weekend!

Being on the debate team has its perks; we get to travel on mini-vacations around the country to compete at tournaments (airplane tickets, food, and hotel fees are paid by Rice). However, the work is very grueling and we have to stay up late researching and crafting arguments.

Actually, my team is here with me in my hotel room right now to discuss strategy (we should be going to bed soon because it's midnight the night before a tournament) (I'm sneaking in this blog post before I have to finish my assignment---see how important you guys are?) But overall, I think all our effort is totally worth it when we get to cheer for our team at the awards ceremony and represent our school.

As for this outfit post: I took these outfit pictures earlier this week. I felt a little apprehensive about wearing a fur vest, because it's one of those items that I always see in magazines, but rarely see people wearing in real life. Same with this black floppy hat. And I'm sure no one dresses like this unless they are like me and have a blog to update. However, I couldn't help showing off my favorite pair of sunglasses, the ones with the unique "swoop" in the arms.

Do you approve of my luxe outfit, or should fur vests be restricted to the pages of magazines? I'm hoping you have a wonderful day and that I'll see some snow while I'm visiting St. Louis!
