Some Boots and a Dress

Oh my goodness I totally forgot about these pictures! I wore this outfit a little while ago and took pictures out by the train station. Sometimes I think my favorite outfits are the ones where I can just be casual and wear some rainboots with a dress and socks. It's girly but comfy, which is exactly what I love! I hate wearing things and feeling uncomfortable all day. Fashion shouldn't be about wearing something and it bothers you so much that you can't think about anything else! Those are my two cents for the day. :)

I'm sorry I haven't been the most amazing poster lately. It's hard to make time to take outfit pictures but I need to make time for it and make it a priority, because this blog is important to me. I love you guys...just thought I'd say that. And every comment I get makes me smile. :)

Man Day

I felt such like a man the day I wore this outfit. Why? Well, the sweater used to be my dad's, I found the boots in the men's shoes section at DI, and I wore almost no makeup this day (except a teeny bit of mascara). So that is about as "manly" as I get. But don't get me wrong, I felt awesome this day. I love the sweater, considering it's from Guatemala and I'm half Guatemala. I love the boots...it rained this day and they completely kept the water out--it was wonderful! And wearing no makeup felt pretty stress free and amazing. Oh yes. It was actually the first time I haven't worn makeup all day in public for like 5 years. Crazy huh? I need to do this more often!

On a more girly note, I've been sewing a lot! I'm in the middle of making a super cute navy and white dress (without a pattern, like usual) and I've just been designing it and coming up with it as I go. I'm thinking it'll look pretty great when it's all done and I of course will post it on here! I also sewed a purple ball gown for a very special friend...perhaps I will show you a picture or two of her wearing the dress? Stay tuned for that. Oh and don't worry, I haven't forgotten that I promised to tell you the story of why I am so annoyed with DownEast Basics these days (back in this post) so stay tuned for that as well! It's a story you do NOT want to miss.

Anywho, as I write this, my eyes droop more and more. So I'll bid you adieu until tomorrow :)

P.S. Just one last thought. It's 11/11/11 TOMORROW! I'm seriously freaking out and so excited over this! What are you guys gonna do for it, anything exciting? I definitely want to do something fun for this most momentous occasion!!

It's a Special Day

So before I say anything, I must say this...HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARRIE UNDERWOOD!!! She turns 27 today. And I really am kind of a big fan. Just kind of. :) Carrie Underwood is the person I could spend a day with if I could spend it with anyone. She's incredible. And so is her music! Check out the fan page here (no...I don't check it every day, not at all.. ;))

Anyways, you can never say enough about Carrie Underwood, but we'll move back to other topics again, shall we?

I've been thinking a lot about...stuff. And life in general. And fashion. It's weird how different things happen upon us isn't it? For most of my life I thought I was going to be a dancer and also a writer. I thought I was going to be an editor someday. But then fashion happened and changed my world. I can't help but love it and every time I post on this blog or re-fashion an old dress or read a style magazine, I know it's for me. I know it and love it. The great thing about this is that it's unique for all of us. Some of us cook. Others do photography. Others will become doctors (that draw blood--which is where I am right now and might possibly be passed out. Saying that I don't do well with needles is an understatement). And the even better thing is the fact that once we find our "thing," we share it with others. By, for instance, blogging. Or serving. Or writing about it. Or just making it part of our daily routines. Everyone has something. I promise. And if you don't know what that is, well, you'll find it. Honestly, I was unsure for a long time. I thought I was sure, but I always doubted myself and now I don't. What is your "thing" that you do and how do you share it? :)

It's Playtime!

I took pictures at a playground yesterday! Fun right? Ha, well yes it was. Except it got a little stressful when my camera batteries suddenly died and I didn't have enough pictures. So I drove home super fast, got some more batteries (I know, I'm dumb for not keeping them with me) and rushed back to the park and took a few more pictures in like five minutes before I had to go to work. Which I did make it to on time, thank you very much. :D (sidenote: It was just a little cold taking these pictures. Just a little. That's all)

So that's my story. And now I have to go and study because I have 3 tests to take tomorrow. And as much as I hate studying on Sundays...well it has to happen every once in a while. Sadly.

And can you believe the 30 for 30 is almost OVER?! I can hardly wait! Thursday will be the happiest day of my life. Or one of them. That I can guarantee ;)
