By the River

Hello everyone!  Just a quick post for today; I didn't have class today, so some of my friends and I wandered down to the river and walked along the Millennium Bridge.  I love this bridge for many reasons, the obvious being that it has a gorgeous view of St. Paul's cathedral; but for Harry Potter fans, you'll recognize this as the bridge that the death eaters destroy at the beginning of The Half Blood Prince movie!  All I wanted to do was to pose on the bridge like it was being destroyed, but I had to restrain myself!

I wore a long dress and a leather jacket and was surprisingly warm.  My friends gave me a hard time for not wearing any tights with my dress, but that's just my Montana roots coming through (we can deal with the cold exceptionally well).  My hands, though, were freezing!  Next time I'll be sure to bring gloves!

Trends My Mom Hates: Fishnets

Alright, too be perfectly honest, I'm not entirely sure if this is a trend that my mom hates since I no longer see her everyday.  That being said, knowing her for almost 20 years, I can almost guarantee that she probably doesn't care for it.  When I first saw the trend myself a few months back on instagram, I wasn't entirely sold on it either.  But some of my friends based in New York were really rocking it, then I moved to London and a few of my new friends here have worn them as well.  I still wasn't sure on it, but then I actually needed to buy them for a school project I was working on (yes, really).  Once they were in my hand, I knew that I just had to try the trend too, and what do you know?  I kinda loved it.  They're surprisingly comfortable and kept my legs warmer than I thought they would.  Unfortunately, they already have a hole in the toe after only one and a half wears (the half a wear is from my project), but I'm going to try and keep wearing them until they get too uncomfortable on the toes.
For this look, I really wanted to incorporate my new leather jacket.  Is it really leather?  Definitely not; I got it from H&M for £20 (I got it for half price - score!).  However, I'm in love with it and can't take it off.  Because it's nearing winter, I paired the jacket and tights with short-sleeved denim dress with a turtleneck layered underneath for an extra bit of warmth.  Finally I decided on my new Chelsea boots, as they're a classic that can be paired with almost anything.  I wanted to go rather subtle when styling these fishnets because they can easily go very racy - a look I would like to avoid.
In other news, I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving yesterday.  Since I'm London, I didn't really celebrate it, but I am having a Friends-giving tonight that I'm really looking forward to.  It's been a lot of fun introducing my new English friends to American traditions.

Feeling Blue

Hello again!  It always seems like whenever I try to get back in the habit of blogging, something stops me again.  This time it's school.  These past few weeks (and the next few as well) seemed to just come crashing down upon me with deadlines.  Whilst I'm doing alright with the work load, it's hard to balance it with blogging.  So when did I take these pictures?  It's seems that I only had time during class!  One day during class, our instructor wanted everyone to become more accustomed with the cameras and sent us all out to take photos.  I had no intent on having my picture taken that day (it was the day after the election, and I was wearing all black because I was a bit disappointed in the results), and despite my hair looking rather a mess, it was still fun to get out there.  My friend and I found this fun, blue was that we enjoyed shooting in front of, and it was right on campus!  

Anyway, sometime this week I'm going to try and venture out into central London for some blog photos; hopefully deadlines won't get the best of me!

Look who's back!  Well I've taken a month off from blogging, and I'll tell you, I've missed it so much!  But also, for those of you who are familiar with this blog, I'm sure this looks a lot different!  Welcome to "Wear She's Gone," a fashion and travel blog.  As I said in my last post, I just didn't think that the name "Rockin' the Rockies Style" suited this blog anymore; I'll always be from the Rocky Mountains, and I don't want to forget that part of me, but now I've grown and moved on from there.  London is my new home for at least the next few years, and I can't wait to explore every part of it.  I've also updated my Instagram handle to @itselizabethclaire.  It's still rather long, but I have a rather long name.

I just want to thank everyone again for staying with me.  I'm not sure exactly how often I'll be able to update (I'm still a fulltime student).  But let me just say, I'm loving all the changes going on in my life.  I was so nervous about everything before I left, but I can 100% say that I have zero regrets.

If you have any questions, or just want to chat, leave your comments below!  I'd love to hear from you!

Pause

So I think I'm going to take a break from this blog for a little while.  Don't get me wrong; I love blogging, and I love this blog, but I just have so many changes going on in my life right now (moving to London, starting school, etc.), I really need to get settled here.  I also think it's time for a bit of re-branding.  Now that I'm not living in the Rocky Mountains anymore, I'm not sure if this title still works.  I'm not going to tell you my new title now - that's going to be a surprise - but this will be my last "Rockin' the Rockies Style" post.  When I start blogging again, I still plan on having all of my old posts being available, but my url and title will change.  I wish I could tell you when I'll be blogging again, but I can't because I'm not sure either.  Remember, this is not goodbye; this is just a pause.  Thanks for staying with me.

Adieu

If you've been following me on my other social media platforms (pretty much just instagram), you would know that I've moved!  That's right, I'm no longer living in the Rocky Mountains, but rather London!  I am now officially a fashion student, living and studying in London, England.  I couldn't be more excited for what's to come!  These were the last photos I took before I moved, so I once again wanted to take pictures at my favorite shooting location.  The sun was pretty bright, but after moving around a few times, I found this nice spot.  Also, it was pretty cold, and if you look at my nose you can see that it was turning red (I called myself Rudolph for the rest of the night).  To celebrate it being my last night there, my mom and I went to our favorite pizza place then went home and watched a movie.  It was a great way to spend one of my final nights back home. 

Anyway, I don't know how often I'll be able to post in the future, and I also have some changes coming (eventually), so stay tuned, and keep following me on instagram for more frequent and fun updates!

Rainy

Looking at these photos, it really made me realize that I need to get my roots done.  Luckily, I have an appointment for Wednesday, but it just can't come soon enough!

Is anyone else ecstatic that it's finally fall?  Well I suppose that it technically isn't fall until the 22nd, but the weather has already started getting cooler.  Summer is always fun, but I'd much rather wear long sleeves, coats, and boots.  For example, I bought this shirt at the end of May, but I've only been able to wear a couple of times because it's just been far too hot for long sleeves.  Despite me not wearing it often, it has already catapulted to the top of my favorite shirts.  I love the ruffles and the color, even though I sometimes feel like Raggedy Ann when I wear it.  I originally was going to wear a skirt with this blouse, but after seeing the rain that idea went immediately out the window.  Instead I opted for my black skinny jeans and my camel ankle boots.  I used to be someone who was very opposed to the black and brown combo, but I've definitely been loving wearing these boots with all of the black in my wardrobe.
