Tired on Monday


As I write this right now, my eyes are droopy, even though it's the middle of the day! I suppose I need to get more sleep. Funny though, the reason I went to bed kinda late is because my roommates and I were indexing last night for the competition in our ward. I never thought I'd be staying up late just to index. ;)

Also another thing my roommates and I were randomly doing last night is the Color Code test. Have you taken it? Well I took it and found out I'm 37% white, with blue in 2nd place, then yellow, then red. If you want to take it or want to have some idea of what I'm talking about go here and you can take it for free. This is what it says about me:

Whites are motivated by Peace. They seek independence and require kindness. They resist confrontation at all costs. To them, feeling good is more important than being good. They are typically quiet by nature, process things very deeply and objectively with great clarity. Of all the colors, whites are the best listeners. They respect people who are direct but recoil from perceived hostility or verbal battle.

I definitely agree that this is me. It's obviously not all of me, but it's the most dominant. I also have some blue in me which means I like connecting to people and yellow which means I like to have carefree fun. I probably have tiny smidgen of red but I'm not a dominant person or power driven at all! It's not a bad thing, it's just not me. Anyways, you should take the test and tell me what color you are!

P.S. I wrote nothing about fashion in this post but I should mention that I love my white coat my mom got me for Christmas and also my boots I got from DI. I think they're fishing boots and possibly men's shoes, but they keep out any water and I like how they look. :)

Ok naptime, here I come.

Winter Wonderland










Snow is EVERYWHERE! It's absolutely wonderful! It was so cold outside but I asked Carina if she'd take my pictures outside because it just looks so pretty. And these pictures look great, don't you think?

Since I came home in such a rush yesterday (read the whole blizzard story HERE), I kind of just threw some clothes in my hamper and decided that making it home fast and safe was more important than outfit making. So I borrowed Carina's cute pink striped shirt-dress and then made an outfit from there. Random thought: How do you guys think up your outfits? For me it's usually picking one piece of clothing and then revolving everything around that one emphasis. Just wondering.. Anyways, the rest of the clothes were mine and the outfit came together, and I was pretty happy with the end result. I like how the white matches the snow too. :) I will probably borrow Carina's clothes every day this week, so thanks ahead of time, Carina!!

Oh and I went shopping today and got some great deals (like Steve Madden heals for $10?!?!?!) and can't wait to wear them. Now...I am off to play in the snow again! (maybe ha)

I'm Thankful for Blizzards








A blizzard hit Utah!! Yep, it was headed south from Idaho and apparently it's one of the biggest storms Utah's had for years. Soooo....BYU closed at 3 today and is closed all day tomorrow, which means I got off work early today and don't have to go at all tomorrow! I was going to wait to go home tomorrow, but I decided to hurry and go home, throw some clothes together and then drive home and beat the storm. And no joke, snow started coming down the minute I stepped out of the car. I got really lucky and just barely missed having to drive in the storm. But then I had to get my sister Sidney from her ballet class and it was super hard to see. It was cool to watch outside and my little sister had her eyes glued to the window the whole night because she was so excited about the snow. So that's why I'm grateful for blizzards. :)

You probably think I'm insane after hearing that story and see me wearing a skirt. But honestly, I'm used to the cold and my legs don't really get that cold easily. Plus--haha this silly I'm telling you this--but I wore biker shorts under my skirt so my legs were pretty warm. It's really good idea for winter because then it still lets me wear skirts. But other than the skirt, it was a warm outfit! The boots are furry on the inside. And also I think these colors are very seasonal which I love.

Let It Snow! :)

I am home and it snowed today! Snow that actually stayed on the ground haha. Gracie kept begging all day to go out and play in the snow but no one really felt like it and I didn't have any winter clothes or boots because I just brought enough clothes for the weekend. But I took my dad's nice camera outside with Gracie and took a bunch of cute pictures of her while she just had a blast running around and throwing snow balls. Isn't she a cutie? :)

You can also go to my fashion blog to see some more pictures Gracie and I took together...she loves to model with me, it's adorable!






Wintertime!







And...the sister/best friend pictures ;)





Can you believe we already got snow?! That's Utah weather for ya.. :) Usually I don't like snow before thanksgiving, but snow pretty much means Christmas is getting closer which means Christmas break which means two and a half wonderful weeks with my family! I cannot wait. Today Carina took pictures of me with my dad's nicer camera. It was fun! I can't believe I didn't think of using that a lot sooner, but now I'll use it on the weekends and breaks when I come home.

This is probably more of a summery outfit but I didn't really plan for the weather when I brought these clothes home, and I don't really care because I'm used to the cold since I've lived in Utah my whole life. I like these colors together though. I got this dress over the weekend at Forever 21 and I tried pairing a lot of other cardigans with it but nothing really worked except for this one. I think this one was good because the blue didn't drown out the bright pink and it also lengthens the dress, which is nice for a girl who is only 5'2". :)

And now, I'm going to go back to listening to Christmas music and maybe get some hot chocolate. I'm totally in the Christmas mood right now...26 days to Christmas break and 33 to Christmas...CAN'T WAIT! :)
