Back in the Game

(Sweater: Urban Outfitters, Tank: Gap, Skirt: Thrifted, Shoes: Cynthia Rowley for Target, Socks: Cynthia Rowley via TJ Maxx, Watch: Thrifted via Flea Market)

You know that scene in 10 Things I Hate About You where Bianca kisses Cameron and as soon as he leaves, he smacks the steering wheel enthusiastically and proclaimed "ANDD I'm BACK in the game!"? I've always loved that scene. And that's how I feel right now. Really confident and powerful. That might have something to do with the fact that I got a ton of sleep last night, but that's one of my new year's resolutions. To sleep. A lot more. Also, to get back in shape.

Resolutions:

1. Run a Half Marathon

2. Use my journal much more often

3. Stop biting my nails

4. Eat better

6. Keep my dorm clean.

Here's to a happy new year! Ignore the people who think you're insignificant.

Struggle Bus

A young girl's struggles with a finicky camera lead to intense frustration, but an inspiring ending when she overcomes her troubles and gets over herself. Excellent humor and good quality dialogue. This film may be up for the next major film prize.

It's Late. Title This Yourself.

The big hair in this last photograph basically summed up the night. We went back in time. Just kidding. P and I went to my sister's show choir performance and it was AWESOME. except for the second act. justkiddingdon'thitme. It was really great. Anytime you can see a show with a friend and point out the really cute guys, it's going to be a good night. Also, the not so cute guys. There were more of those. Sitting next to another friend who falls asleep during the musical numbers that don't involve heavy drums or high-note hitting opera singing is also fun. These skinny cargos are the best thing that ever happened to me. Also, Target, Who has sponsored my outfit for the night. (Oh how I wish). Prugs looks great as well in her pencil skirt. Also, brother got a haircut. You can compare the two. He's had the same haircut for most of his life, so this is a BIG DEAL, people.

Brown Tones

(Skirt: Landsend, Shirt: Borrowed from Granmda, Shoes: Cynthis Vincent for Target, Belt: Macy's, Necklace: Forever 21, Ring: Kohl's)

This belt was a gift from my best friends in the entire world. So it makes it that much better. This summer, I am working everyday, so I will hopefully be dressed and photographed. But, as can be seen in the previous blog post, sometimes I wear the same things over and over in the summer time because it gets too hot for just about anything. If going to work in my underwear was allowed, I might, when it got THAT humid.

Die Die Die

 Isn't that grafitti nice? I enjoyed it. In the first picture it looked like I had a halo. or marker marks. haha. I loved this outfit today. It was comfortable (well, not the shoes. but the rest) and I LOVE this t-shirt. I got a whole bunch of compliments on it. My grandparents have been to almost every continent (they almost made it to Antarctica, but unfortunately, their trip got delayed permanently. :[) The pictures are also good today. Thanks Kayla! only 26 days left until graduation!

$hine On

(Shirt: KE$HA, Skirt: Target, Shoes: Cynthia Vincent for Target)

Agent: 45

Mission: Wear a T-shirt without looking lame

700 hours: Agent realizes that short shirts and super long t-shirt would look wildly inappropriate for a school setting, especially with brown wedges. Agent realizes people would be looking at her in shock, and not admiring the lovely pop star on said t-shirt. Agent takes a deep breath

715 hours: Agent remembers other bloggers wearing really cute outfits with girls layering long shirt or sweaters over skirts. Agent also remembers the most recent Delias catalogue. Agent tries on poofy skirt. Agent looks like a 5 year old.

716 hours: Agent tries on slimmer skirt, and uses belt to tie in brown shoes to black skirt and shirt. Agent is satisfied.

815 hours: Agent has to take off super tall shoe to drive, as feels like she is careening out of control in super tall heels

845 hours: Agent talks to first person who admires her shirt. Then another shortly after. Agent gushes about show.

1125 hours: Agent's friend tell her she'd rather shoot herself in the foot than go to a Ke$ha concert. Agent proudly professes love for said pop star and Agent's ability to listen to whatever she wants too. Friend backs down.

1200 hours: Agent almost kills herself on wet, rainy steps. Agent checks, no one was looking.

1500 hours: Agent gets home and massages calves, as shoes+hard dance workout the day before=stupid idea. But Agent felt tall. And strong.

                                                        Mission Status: Completed.

Da Ba Dee

(The back pockets are my favorite part of these jeans.)

 This is the day I tried layering. It worked okay. You can see at the bottom how the button-up showed on the bottom. I don't know how Sydney does it. Anyway, these photos have a bluish theme (because if I was green I would die) and are courtesy of the lovely Lori. :) (Also, I've been trying to name the last pose. The Bird? The Awkward Hug? The See-How-Far-I-Can-Stick-My Chest-Out Pose? But I like it.

Rain on a Tin Roof

(Shirt: American Eagle via Goodwill, Jeans: Visgoss via Plato's Closet, Camisole: Aeropostale, Shoes: Cynthia Vincent for Target, Cuff: DIY, Necklace: Aeropostale)

In these pictures Avery taught me that my camera has a rapid-fire mode. BEST DAY EVER.

Not going to lie, this outfit made me feel pretty polished. oh, and tall.

Definitely hammered this out myself. It's okay to be intimidated.

FAVORITE SHOES! They're off to Auntie Kayla next week. We're doing another clothes swap. so excited

The White Shirt Project

(Skirt: H&M, Shirt: Express, Shoes: Cynthia Vincent for Target, Necklaces: Aeropostale)

These pictures are from last school year when I was doing my own tiny version of "The Uniform Project", where I wore the same white shirt everyday (washing it each night. I promise), just wearing it with different things each time.Today was only a half day at school, and my outfit was kinda plain, so I thought this would be better. Now for the next few times when I don't have an actual outfit to post, I'll post a picture from that experiment.

My brother and my dad took these pictures. The last one is my favorite. :)

Sky High

(Skirt: Borrowed from Kayla, Shirt: Charlotte Russe, Sandals: Cynthia Vincent for Target, Belts: Miley Cyrus and Max Azira for Walmart, Necklace: Target, Ring: Charlotte Russe)

I was surprisingly graceful in these shoes today. No twisted ankles or collapsing on the floor for me! It was so weird being that tall. I was almost as tall as my friend Kate. :) I was talking to a friend after class and she can't be more than 5'2'', and it was so hard to hear her! Normally we are much closer in height. People who are tall must experience life much differently than we shorter people. I could reach the top shelves today!

Today was such a good day. I can't figure out what puts me in a good mood, because some not so fun things happened today. I think the attitude I wake up with is the one that sticks with me.

I'm seriously considering kidnapping this skirt. It fits perfectly and would go with so many other things in my closet! I think I'll borrow it again in the next few weeks.

Owl rings have become an obsessions of mine. I think I'm going to be become the old women whose house creeps you out because it's full of owl figurines staring at you where ever you go. I read all the Guardians of Ga'Hoole when I was little. I loved those books. I'm sorry to say that movie does not look that good. Weird cartoon owls? No thank you. Also, the movies are never as good as the books. 

On a random note, a guy on my cross country team called me Abigail by accident today. I don't think I look like an Abigail, do I?
