Little petunia




This shirt is terribly comfortable. It's like wearing a cotton t-shirt you get when you finish a race for a cause. Such as a Race for the Cure shirt or Barber to Boise or Women's fitness run. This shirt is even more comfortable because it's made out of this silky flowing material. I would never sweat in this.
These fanto-socks were going to be saved for a day when I would sell them but I couldn't stand it any longer and had to wear them. Because they just matched so well. :) ha ha!



Flower print top: church giveaway. Velvet skirt: made by me from the bottom of a dress. Polka dot bag: gift probably from Walmart (I am a non-supporter). fishnet socks: Wetseal. pumps: thrifted.

I need to fix the bottom of these heels because I wear them too often. They became so worn that the nail part shows. I don't know what to buy to replace that part because I don't know what it is called. If anyone knows, do tell!

Wonder woman



Yesterday was the oh-so-great annual church giveaway. My sisters and I helped out in the morning and before we left we ended up filling a huge box with stuff. By the time we were going through things then no one was around looking at stuff so I didn't feel so bad grabbing everything I wanted. We ended up with two pairs of shoes, two bags, one majorly obese person's stretch pants, and a bunch of shirts. Lilac and I also found these really cute old books. They were a Reader's digest book of shortened stories that looked like they weren't ever opened. I also found this old green swirly looking picture frame that is fantastico.

I probably won't end up posting this week at all (not as if I ever do), but even more this week because I am making it "wear tennis shoes to school" week. I felt that I may have a mild eenie weinie bit of shin-splints so to be wary I am wearing tennis shoes to school.

Have a great week!!

Blue-Green.





I felt real blue-green today. With my blue top, green scarf, and green bag. I also had a green pencil that I didn't purposely choose to grab. These are the 25 cent pants I talked about earlier. After I washed them they became really wrinkled, but they still fit swell-ly.

I think that fashion is taking something really ugly pairing it with a bunch of different things until you make it look good. I'll give a good example later this week.

80's workout pants

I found these amazing pants before going on my college trips last week during spring break. I was looking in my mom's closet for anything she recently stole and found these! They are uber comfy but looked kind of like washed out cotton; it has that greyish black look.

On the spring break trip though, I found some pants similar to these ones made of a nicer fabric. They were 25 cents!! I found them in a Montana thrift store and will have to wear them soon. At that thrift store I also found a beautiful hand-done clear plastic ring. I will wear that soon, too.

Perhaps to my senior project presentation! To liven up my outfit. I picked a really simple outfit to look professional for the driver's education class. I am teaching bike safety.I need to get new flats. These ones have terrible holes on the bottom that you can't really see from the pictures. I have had them since middle school, though, so it's about time.

Easter Sunday

So sorry about being slack about posting. I have just been pretty busy with senior projects and picking college. I still haven't decided where I want to go and should choose relatively soon.

This outfit is incredibly hypocritical because I love animals and am vegetarian. On the day celebrating rebirth and new life I wore a dead animal on my shoulders... to church! Of all the places to be hypocritical. I feel that I was epitome of irony. The poofy tulle skirt, though, was such fun to wear and I only paid 97 cents!!

A desperate deep burning need

I have a deep need for the following hat:



It's so sharp looking. I've been looking at straw ones kind of like the ones Jason Mraz wears, except flat on the top. Like that ones that barbershop quartets wear. Then, I saw this picture whose hat is black and wool-y/ felt-y looking and realized this is what I am looking for. I am going to have to find one before summer completely comes (at the thrift store). I am so excited to find this awesome hat. *sigh* It will take a lot of thrift shop stops...

Goal: FIND THIS HAT (or one similar)

(post script: Don't forget to wear green tomorrow, for the reason of St. Patty's Day is to wear green... )

Sunday

Sorry for my lackage of posts, I think I am just going to post on Sundays, unless I have extra time in the morning. I seem to wear a lot more boring clothes to school and they are not "togged to the bricks" so they are not blog-worthy. Except now that I have said this I probably will have more posts, because life just works that way for me.
Thank you to all my viewers thus far. Even if you don't care that I spend 10 minutes each day... in front of my closet... staring at my clothes... trying to find an outfit that you haven't seen yet. Because I do not have an unlimited supply of clothes, I gotta get creative.

I also haven't been giving much credit to my lovely photographer. All photo credits are to Peach (not her real name) my 'lil 5th grade sis. I used to have to tell her, "make sure the top of my head and the bottom of my feet are in the frame." Still, though, she would chop off my head, but she has certainly improved.

Animal

My father did not take care of the camera and the battery died. At least it didn't happen when I was taking pictures for the senior project.

So, I only have 2 pics and the second is not good. Not good at all.


(sorry that my eyes are closed. The camera died and I couldn't retake it... I look real dumb in that one. )

Black and White

Now, looking at the pictures I really like the outfit. I was having trouble figuring out what to do with my new dress. On the day I wore this, I was incredibly uncomfortable trying to keep it up the whole time. It looks fine in pictures, though!
