Christmas in January

Dress - Modcloth // Belt - Thrifted // Shoes - Walmart

Well, it's neither Christmas nor January, but these are pictures of the 4th of July that I'm posting in February, so kind of the same thing. I find it kind of weird that I'm posting pictures of Summer during the Winter, but it makes me very excited about the snow melting! It's not like I can complain about the weather though--it was 50 today! The cold makes me very irritated, so it's great that Ohio's had such a mild winter.

It's weird to think that this is my last semester. I always associate February with very cold walks to class, but this time next year I will (hopefully) have graduated and won't be in class at all! Seeing my portfolio coming together is great, and I can't wait for it to be done! Once more projects are complete I plan to post some on here!

4th

Right before we went to the parade Friday morning I looked back at the pictures from the 4th last year--it is amazing how much my family has changed in just a year! Just for fun I took outfit pictures in the same place. (even though I have used that same place many times...) I think the landscape might be only slightly different, but it looks very different with my new camera.

Aside from being a holiday, the 4th is also my mom's birthday. We always joke that the fireworks and parades are just a part of her elaborate party (which is even funnier if you know that my mom dislikes birthday parties for her). Anyways, the parade in the morning was pretty fun--and we reconnected with several old friends! Later in the day we went to the fireworks at Geneva-on-the-Lake. Honestly, I have to say that I was a little disappointed with the fireworks this year. We waited almost an hour for, what I thought was, a much shorter show than usual. Still fun though. I hope you all enjoyed the weekend as well!

Irrelevent Post Title

I think I may just start doing really random and/or post titles because, well, it's fun. And post titles generally are not. Also, I just don't care whether they have anything to do with the content of the post or not.

On a completely different note, whenever I write the word "whether" I want to spell it "wether." This is because I used to have several goats. Strangely I do not have this problem with the word "weather." (I'm assuming most non-goat people won't know what a wether is, so . . . yeah, just google it)

Looking at these pictures really makes me want to do my hair like this again. Right now it's usually just naturally curly like it is in the beach pictures from a few posts ago. Or, more likely, it's in a ponytail because of work and karate. Sadly, pin curls are just not the most practical option right now :( Speaking of karate, I started going back to classes after . . . well, years. I won't really go into too much about that now, but I will say that I am really enjoying it. Also, I hurt. Everywhere.

Just as a heads up I do have a few really cool posts coming up soon. I'll give you hint. Cars. Lots of them. Beautiful classic cars. Some of these pictures I've had for a long time, but I just never got around to posting them ('cause I never got a round tuit ha. ha.).

Well, that's it for now and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy the holiday!

Happy 4th!

I am loving outfits with a 50s vibe right now! And I've been watching vintage hair tutorials on youtube lately. So yeah, I really enjoyed wearing this outfit today :) Anyways, it's well past the normal time I post and I'm just writing this...so yeah. I'm going to bed now (...actually I'll be getting up soon). I have a ton of pictures from the 4th, but I'll post them tomorrow 'cause I just need some sleep before another busy day tomorrow! Hope y'all had a wonderful 4th!
