Wardrobe Change
I have been working at the Harley shop here in town for the past year and a half.
Needless to say I probably have the most "kick-ass" wardrobe in town. (as Harley would refer to it) It's pretty fun casual stuff, but not anywhere near what I need to be wearing in a classroom. It's been really fun getting to wear these clothes however!
I have several tops from past jobs that I will probably wear for the time being, but I am going to have to get some dress slacks and shoes PRONTO!
My favorite pair of slacks that I own are from Express. They were a pretty penny, but they fit so well and are made well. So I will definitely consider buying a couple more pairs to rotate.
I also plan on getting a few skirts. Perhaps a pencil skirt or a full/half circle skirt? Separates can be so fun!
I'm always keeping in mind as well a color palette, and as seasons and trends changes it gets difficult to stick to one you love! Try finding a dark purple blouse right now! I am obsessed with brights and whites. Mostly aqua, mint, and coral. Some lime green and hot coral are fun too! It will be interesting to see what's in when I am ready to buy more tops! for now I have a few that I feel are exactly where I want my wardrobe to be, so that's a confidence booster.
Now what I am REALLY excited for wardrobe-wise are holidays! I'm fairly certain the whole month of October I will be wearing a fall palette and anything spooky!!! It's going to be so fun!
Footwear on the other hand. Not so much. At least I didn't think it would be at first. But I'm so thrilled I went ahead and looked through brands like Born and Clark's. They have some great comfortable looking flats. I was so scared I'd either be stuck wearing something flimsy and stinky, or chunky and granny. But these flats look like they will be just the happy medium I was looking for! They are practical with out looking dorky. Now I'm probably going to want a couple pair to rotate between, but they carry a pretty price tag too!
Wardrobe shopping in a pain in the rear!
But I'm happy I know what I'm looking for! Hope to share some outfits I put together!

Howdy, Folks!
I'm Ashley. I'm really excited to share my little diary with you all!
I'm recently enrolled at Fort Hays State University (virtual) to pursue my Bachelor's in Education! I will also begin a job as a Paraprofessional this school year! This is going to be a great opportunity for me and possibly life changing. So I wanted to write down everything I feel and learn along the way!
A little more about me:
-I live in the windiest little city in the U.S. of A. Dodge City, KS
-I'm enrolled at Fort Hays State University. I'm a Tiger!
-I have an adorable little dog, Pippi, that you may see from time to time.
-I have a lot of hobbies that I can't really afford, but I do still get to do some here and ther! a lot of DIY projects,gardening, and getting some exercise in!
-My boyfriend gets me out on the river riding the Teryx side-by-sides a few times a month. It is so much fun! and no there is actually no running water in our part of the Arkansas river, so we ride atv's thru it!
-fitness and nutrition are some of my passions! you can find where I keep my inspiration over at: ashleysfitquest.tumblr.com
-look for me on pinterest too! pinterest.com/ashleyharrisxo
-and im always using instagram! cause I'm a busy gal on the go! find me at instagram.com/ashleyontherun
This semester I will be studying: Elements of Statistics (YUCK!), Foundations of Education, and Human Growth and Development.
This is going to be so much fun!
