I've had some time alone, to hone my lying technique.

Last day of Fatshion February!
Yeah!
Maybe it didn't call for exclamation marks. Whatever. Clearly I didn't end it with a bang. I ended it by being warm, okay? It is February after all.
Torrid top, Ross coat, mom's skirt, Old Navy scarf, WalMart tights, messy bed.
Payless shoes.
I did like posting my outfits every day, even if some of them were spectacularly boring. And I mean watching-grass-grow boring. I mean let-rabid-squirrels-eat-me-alive-please boring.
I clearly live a fascinating life.

Sparks fly upward in ascent.

Today is my brother's thirty-first birthday. We got no In-N-Out and two chocolate cakes. It's all good, except for the fact that the cake is a little too good. Oh, well, it's his birthday and he wanted cake and he got a lot of it.
Also, this outfit would have looked better with tights instead of leggings, but it was cold and that clouded my judgement.
Forever 21 dress, sunglasses from Venice, WalMart leggings, Old Navy
camisole.

My ear upon the ground, listening for truth.

Today wasn't exciting. It never is. It snowed, and I felt like a hazard with a Bunsen burner.
Coat from Ross, tee-shirt from Lane Bryant, skirt made by my mom, tights
from WalMart, shoes from Vans, bracelet from Casey, black bangle from Claire's.

You've got me in a death roll.

Today was full of adventures, like grocery shopping, exchanging hair toner for nail polish, and not getting my hair dyed. Tuesday, though.
Thrifted shirt, mom's skirt, Payless shoes.

Sputter, stop, and fall into energy.

Lazy, lazy, lazy day. Believe me when I say that I just got dressed for the sake of a picture.
Sweater from Torrid, skirt from my mom, thrifted tee, WalMart headband,
DIY necklace.
Vintage bangles that I wore yesterday and forgot to document.
Payless shoes.

Gotta love the age of stupidity.

I went to the mall with Erika today. We spent a lot (a lot) of time in Sephora, got dinner at Red Robin, and went home. I got a few things (nail polish, mini things from Bath and Body Works), which is weird for me. I didn't spend much, though, so it's all good.
Even if I wore the exact same skirt/tights/boots yesterday. Thug life.
Shirt is thrifted, belt and skirt from Fashion Bug, headband (which you can
hardly see) is from Forever 21, bag is from Ross, tights are from WalMart,
boots are from Payless, sunglasses are from Tilly's.
DIY necklace.
Erika, who serenades me in the car. My hair, who hates me today.

All your hugs and kisses, and money too.

Not much to report today. Went to my classes. Went to Casey's house instead of the Boulevard. Took pictures of my niece and nephew. Listened to Buddy Holly.
Tomorrow, I fully plan on sleeping in till an unholy hour, like three in the afternoon.
Tee-shirt is from Torrid, skirt from Fashion Bug, WalMart tights, DIY collar.
Payless boots, niece's feet.

Talking back to the mirror.

Nothing to report today, except that I messed around with sulfur today. It's like formaldehyde to me—you can still smell it, long after the lab. Ugh.
Sweater from Fashion Bug, dress from Ross,  necklace from Forever 21.
Shoes from Payless. Also, they're ridiculously comfy.

Tuesday, February 21, 2012

All that waiting, not a single smile.

I almost forgot to get a picture today! Well, the crisis was clearly averted.
My original plan had a pair of tights, but leggings and supreme comfort won.
WalMart leggings and a dress made by my mom. 
Vintage cuff and nails that I think are totally awesome. But then, of course I
do—I did them myself. They're like my babies.
Vintage necklace. This is actually my prized possession. 
Payless shoes.

It's up to us to turn the tide.

Just a boring day at WalMart. I did feel like adding something interesting to an otherwise boring (warm) outfit, so I put on one of my favourite necklaces.Ye-uh.
Dress and bag are from Ross, leggings and sweater are from WalMart, 
Necklace from Sea World. This is one of my favourites because, well, I just
really love sharks, okay?
Payless shoes.

We prayed for satellites.

I felt like dressing like a witch today, so I did. Well, I tried.
The shirt is from Marshall's, the skirt is from my mom's closet. Yeah. 
Wedges from Marshall's.
Vintage cuff.

Don't just put me in a box.

I was tempted to be painfully lazy and just photograph myself in my pajamas today. Clearly, that didn't work out, since I decided that I wanted to dress up a bit today. I kind of wanted to pretend that it was summer already.
Hat and dress from WalMart 
Gold bangle from Claire's, last blue bracelet from the fair a couple years ago,
and I don't even remember where I got the other two. 
Forever 21 necklace, unfortunate breakout.

Dig your heels into the sand, but it won't last.

Extra post today. I feel like I haven't really written anything lately, aside from a quick "About Today's Look" sort of thing.
Yesterday in my sociology class, my professor was talking about this summer abroad thing with one of the French professors. It's a month in Paris. I'd be packing already if it wasn't for the fact that the trip is $3300. It's not an insane amount, considering the fact that that includes transportation and room & board, but there's absolutely no way I could get that much by June.
So I've decided that I'm going to fight tooth and nail to do my fall semester abroad. Since I won't be able to transfer to Monterey Bay (my new school of choice, where I'll be majoring in marine science) until Spring 2013, I'll have a whole semester of, well, wasting time. I'll have all of my transfer units at the end of this semester, but, alas, life sucks and I can't even apply till, well, soon, I hope. So I'll have all of fall semester to either take random, boring classes at either COC or AVC, or study abroad. Really, I'd like to go anywhere, so long as I can travel somewhere. Does that make sense?
I need to start looking into the various programs, and costs, and how on earth I'm going to pay for it. Oi.
It's so worth it, though.

Sound the battle call.

I got all kinds of athletic today. And it wasn't just the outfit! I feel like my bike missed me terribly.
Fashion Bug tunic and sports bra, WalMart leggings, superawesome Tilly's
sunglasses from Warped.
Payless shoes.
Ten points if you guess which bike is mine. They're the easiest ten points
you will ever win.

He better start lookin' today.

I went to the farmer's market after school today. I dressed for warmth, and it showed. I had my purple Old Navy scarf today, but I'd taken it off by the time I took the photo. Oh, well.
I feel like my outfits are getting dull. I must fix this!
Ross coat, Sure shirt, mom's skirt, WalMart tights, bracelet from Casey. 
Payless boots.

Excited for the future.

Today was long and cold. It definitely feels like February. Things got interesting when some kid showed me a couple of card tricks. I'm just gullible enough to love magic tricks like that.
Coat from Ross, thrifted scarf, WalMart tights, Lane Bryant tee-shirt, skirt
from Fashionbug.
Vans shoes.

Make it break my trust.

Today is brought to you by a lazy student, the colour red, and the desire to be festive.

Happy Valentine's Day, guys. I hope you all stuffed your faces with chocolate, or strawberries, or a combination of the two.

A depth of pure blue.

Today was cold, so I dressed for the weather. Mostly. Those flats hate the rain more than anything.
Coat and dress from WalMart, thrifted necklace, bracelet from Casey,
WalMart leggings.

Sunday, February 12, 2012

Today was boring and spent at WalMart. We did get a new blender, and a new printer. That was good, if extremely unexciting.
Top from Torrid, cardigan from WalMart, skirt from my mom's closet, bag
from Ross. 
Shoes from Payless. Almost all of my shoes are from there...

Cinderella, don't you go to sleep.

I'm daydreaming about summer. Not only is the weather here less than awesome (it is February, after all), but I just really want it to be summer break already. I'm a terrible student.
Dress is thrifted, necklace is from Forever 21, flower is from 99 Cent Store.

Sandals from Marshall's. Real leather from Dollhouse for about twenty bucks!

The green and yellow bracelets are from Target, the rest from Avenue.

99 Cent Store blooms in various soda bottles on my desk. Yee-uh.
