polka dot dress

-My cousin gave me this polka dot dress because it didnt fit her. At first i was going to give it to my sister because i thought it was a little girly for me. After i played around with it i decided it was a keeper.
-I could only find one black sock so im trying to hide a foot in all of the pics.
-Im really into graphic print tees recently, preferably of some kind of animal.
-This weekend was spent tubing and wakeboarding with cousins. It was a blast. Im going to wake up very sore.
- I am going to visit stephen and friends in my old town for a week. Maybe ill get off this white wall and take some cool pics. Be back later

Yawn?

-Ive gotten lazy this summer in my outfits. I don't post many because most of them are easy casual ensembles that really lack any effort on my part.

-Usually I'm wearing something like this minus the heels. I can only manage to wear heels at night. Boy jeans, black belt and some kind of plain tee. Not inspiring or creative i know.

-Some of you have been asking where these heels are from. Gojanes the site. Knockoff central if your into that. I know it annoys some people but sites like this make me squeal with delight. Dont waste your time looking at the clothes. The shoes are where its at

Blue Moon

-I went thrifting today. Found a bunch of hilariously cool pieces including these denim shorts. I'm completely drawn to there uglyness. I plan on wearing them both cuffed and uncuffed, shirt tucked in and out. I also got a bunch of boy jeans.

-My new accessory is my little sisters bow headband which ive been wearing everywhere. You cant see it very clearly in the second pic though.

-Since im so lousy at finding time to blog I've scheduled a few posts with about 2 days between each.

Vrroom Vroom

No this is not fashion related.
I thought the 4 wheeling trails were pretty so we stopped to snap some pics
(Im putting these up among all the other lonely white wall pics just to liven my blog up a bit)
-I had a busy birthday weekend with stephen. No i did not spend it shopping or eating at a fancy restaurant as some of you kindly suggested i should. It was spend getting dirty 4 wheeling, fishing and doing other outdoorsy activities. Thats the fun part of living way up here in the middle of a forest.
-I did not open up my present yet. I am not that eager to open up what i already know is going to be a gun courtesy of my dad (I got my hunting license this year). Yay, just what every 17 year old girl wants right?!
-Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday!

Birthday!

No outfit posts today im busy bein 17....

Oscar de la renta

I found this great Oscar de la Renta blouse at the salvation army! I love it alot.

Ok so the skirts short, i know. This was the first skirt i made and i hemmed it too short. I Then made an identical one that actually was a decent length but i cannot find it so i had to photograph in this one

I didnt wear this outfit out becuase i had no where to go. I plan on wearing it to dinner with stephen this weekend but with a proper skirt.

Ive stopped labeling my outfits because its always all thrifted besides shoes.

Any questions ask

Check out these cool leggings i found.

-I went thrift crazy at the salvation army today. I wish i would have brought a camera with me because i couldn't buy everything and i had to let go of some great pieces.
-The great thing about living in a small town populated by fashion ignorant people, is that the thrift stores are all mine. I don't have to worry about all the good stuff being taken.

After that to Walmart where i raided the 5 dollar movies. I got these stranger boys to buy them for me because im not 17 and they are R movies. Disgusting i know but it got me the movies so hey.

When i got home there was a package waiting for me with 3 new pairs of shoes!

Overall it was a great day

Bright red lipstick

Its what i bought today. I wanted to see how it looked. I like it. I felt cool wearing it :)


Its an old machine. I guess it belonged to my great grandmother and now its mine!

Ive been busy. Tennis matches, relatives, sewing projects and work. For my upcoming birthday my grandma gave me a sewing machine. Ive always wanted to learn how to sew. So in her stay she helped me with a bunch of projects, mostly all skirts and a few hem jobs on long dresses from goodwill. I'm pretty excited about it all

I wish i could participate in the American Apparel sale going on. Its pretty good check it out. However all of my money is going towards gas for a stephen visit (bf that lives 6 hours away).

So uhh thats all for today

Quicky

Check out the new header and title!
Dont worry about changing it in your links, i don't really care i just didnt like the name.

Denim jacket rediscovered

After viewing my yesterdays post, I decided that i hated my outfit. I love this black floral dress but i feel as if i didn't do it justice in my previous outfit. Maybe it was just the picture i don't know. Rather than just delete the post entirely as I wanted to do, I set out to correct myself. Its proven to be very versatile. The thin fabric allows me to wear it as a blouse or dress. So here it is
P.S It looks really short because of my pose


The skirt in this is actually an awkward tube top from wet seal. When i tried it on as skirt in the dressing room i remember noticing 3 tacky sales employees staring at me whispering and giggling. Finally one walked over and rudely tried to inform me that it was a top like it was something i didnt already know...... annoying

I love this denim jacket! I like the fit as well as the zipper. I will be more creative with it later. And to think i almost threw it out...

june 30th

Thrifted it all

Just an easy outfit. My hair is a mess as usual. It was so nice out today i considered biking to work... but didn't. I need to get more exercise. Ive become so lazy this summer. I have tennis 3 times a week but i neglect to go well most of the time.
I'm really exited to go thrift/antique shopping tomorrow. I'm really feelin earth tones lately so Im hoping to find
- oxford cutouts
- jazz shoes
-mens pullover sweaters in some kind of neutral tone
-oversized blazer
- paintings for my room
- cute antique trinkets also for my room

I just placed to online orders from f21 and gojane. Once they come i should have alot more outfit posts.

6/22

So i pretty much based the outfit off of these shoes.

This was was worn when the day was at its hottest.

As it got chilly i put on this useless maroon sweater

At night i wore the teal jacket. The croshayed (spelling?) belt was originally meant to be a warm heavy scarf but I am a very slow croshayer. I got lazy and stopped halfway and decided to wear it as a cute belt.

tank- target

skirt- thrifted
jacket- thrifted
necklace- vintage
belt- croshayed by me
shoes- ninewest

Anyone know how to spell croshay?

Today we had a campfire by the lake which led to ALOT more mosquito bites. I love how at night you can speak in a normal voice and be heard all the way across the lake. My sister and I had a conversation in the dark with strangers from the other side. Shouting was not necessary. It was pretty funny actually.

I'm VERY exited because Stephen (boyfriend) is on his way to visit me! He lives 6 hours away in Wisconsin. I probably wont post for the rest of the week because i will be busy spending time with him... Not that I would anyways

Lousy blogger me

I realize I'm a lousy blogger- averaging about one post a week. Even though my closet has well outgrown itself, I feel as if i never have anything to wear. I cannot wait for my paycheck tuesday.
It will be spent on
- Vet visit for kitten
shots = expensive
- forever21 online purchase
I'd like to make a collage of my order if i can figure out how
- perhaps a few more movies to add to my collection?
see below

So this is an outfit from last week. Not one of my favorites but whatev. I'm actually liking the ugly leaf print on the top.


Clothes- goodwill
belt- secondhand
bag- urbn
shoes- f21






Did i mention that I'm starting a new movie collection? Well i love renting movies. Its how i spend a lot of my free time. We have netflix which is amazing but my mom clogs our queue with weird exercise videos (Booty ballet) and movies for my sisters (dora, carebear, ext). I also love rewatching movies and i hate returning them.
I went to walmart and discovered a huge jumble of movies for 5 dollars each. It took me a while to sift through them all but i found some good ones.


-In the collection- Traffic, Thelma and Louis, Dirty Dancing, Borat, Thin Red Line, Waitress

Dont tell mom

So i got a new kitten. Originally I planned on keeping her a secret. My room is in the dungeon basement of my house which my parents rarely visit, so i thought it wouldn't be that difficult.

Well after many close encounters by my mom, it proved to be harder than i expected. I figured id better come clean. Well i already have 2 cats and a dog so i wasn't expecting them to let me keep her.

Naturally, as i prepared myself for disappointment, i began to cry. As i approached my dad (kitten in hand) i decided i must lie to keep the cat. So thats what i did.

I told them i found it abandoned on the side of the road in a box. Ridiculous i know but its just what came out. I told them a heartless farmer probably had too many cats and had to get rid of her.

Well they bought it at first until my obnoxious sister started questioning me and i gave some faulty answers. I am not a good liar. Now they no longer believe my story. If i confess i will be in a very large amount of trouble for lying. This is the kind of stuff i get myself into.

Its current home is still being debated on by the parents. Shes adorable and im really hoping to keep her because i'm completely in love with her. Cross your fingers for me!

Closet Cleanout

- So now that everyone is bringing out their fringe bags, heres my version. I love the long strap, the soft leather and also the fact that it was $1.

dress- old pencil skirt from wetseal

blazer- thrifted
belt- thrifted
socks- 25 cents walmart
shoes f21
tights urbn
bag- thrifted

-I'm embarrassed as to how many wetseal clothes i have. They were all bought before i became interested in fashion. Everyonce in a while i will find one useful. Thank goodness, today i finally got around to ridding my closet of all hollister/abercrombie filth from my earlier years. Ok so yea i used to faithfully shop there up until... about last year. I gave them all to my sister who was estatic to recieve a whole black garbage bag full of new clothes... ick.
