Super casual, AKA my life as of late! (OOTD, FOTD, HOTD)

The last few weeks I haven't done much that requires getting dressed up.  There have been a few parties, but they were all very low-key.  Hence my title- super casual!  That includes both my outfits and makeup.  I've been doing neutral makeup every day, whether it's browns, taupes, cranberries, or champagnes.  
I love bright, fun looks, but I think I'm in a rut where I feel like they just don't look good on me.  I'm going to have to slowly transition back into color.  Maybe I'll start with muted purples or greens, since those are pretty safe for me?  Anyone have any suggestions?

Anyway, this is my outfit today along with my hair and makeup.  I wasn't even planning a post like this, but my suitemates (the girls who live on the other side of our bathroom) both said they thought I looked pretty.  Their comments totally made my day!

I need to get back into accessories.  This could have been a lot cuter with a necklace or something, I just wasn't sure which one to wear!

This has been my go-to hairstyle for awhile now.  I get so lazy with it, especially when I shower in the morning (Which is a rare occurrence!), so it ends up in a high, messy-but-not-crazy bun with a few pieces around my ears pulled out.
Blogger is making my pictures look terrible right now, but as you can see my eye makeup is really neutral and light.  This is kind of the reason for my heavy mascara- I always seem to pile it on when I don't do much for shadows.

(This was before I decided on the messy bun, FYI)
