The 50s

I've mentioned my backlog of pictures before and these are from, well, several months ago. I had the opportunity to help out with a "through the decades" fashion show for Mother's Day! I also was able to be in the show myself and, of course, I chose to represent the 50s. I'll have to check with the other participants to see which photos I can use on my blog, but until then here's some really grainy shots of my outfit after the show!

I really wanted the show to be as historically accurate as possible. So most of the outfits were vintage, reproduction, or modern with a vintage look. I had a small budget, but I worked with what I had and I think everything turned out nicely! (although I'm a bit frustrated that one of my pin curls didn't really turn out right...so sad) For my outfit I even did a half moon manicure and tried to match the polish as best I could to my lipstick. The half moon manicure's not something I want to do all the time, but now I do pay attention to how my nails are shaped!

No Shoes in the Fridge!

Yeah, I've been really MIA the past few weeks :/ It's ridiculous...as soon as I thought I was getting over the flu I got a really bad cold! I know, I know...enough excuses already. But seriously, blogging has not been my top priority obviously. I got the camera back when I visited my family yesterday so I plan to get some photos this next week. But yeah, since I'm still feeling ridiculously tired I'm gonna get back to my Arrested Development/Game of Thrones marathon. Yes, yes, all my homework's done. Thank goodness. I really just need to veg and do nothing! So yeah, just a quick post to let y'all know I'm still here!

Oh, and yes I did actually find a pair of shoes in the fridge. I assure you I'm not that unorganized--I was just so out of it that I put a pair of shoes in the fridge when I got back home yesterday :p

I'd Rather Wear Pajamas...

I think it's weird how much I really love this outfit considering how bright it is...and how much pink there is! But seriously, this dress is so comfortable. Not to mention it looks great on me, if I do say so myself, haha. 

Anyways, I wore this Thursday to classes and definitely not today. I kind of threw some clothes on to drive to my parent's house, but other than that it was a pajama day! Not gonna lie, first week of school was rough.  I was so sick that the first few days I could barely speak! And some of my teachers nicely said "Oh, I hope you get your voice back soon!" Yeah. When I do get my voice back they are going to regret saying that. I'm a loud person.

So, yeah. Pajama day. I spend almost the entire day just doing nothing. Well, nothing productive. It was awesome! I watched The Monkees, The Mighty Boosh, random YouTube videos, played Diablo III for a couple hours...oh, and watched some Revolution! Have you seen that show? It's pretty awesome! I just found out it was created by the same guy who created Supernatural...so that might explain why I immediately liked it. So I'm feeling a ton better now after being able to rest. And hopefully after this long weekend I'll be all ready for classes! Hope y'all enjoy your weekend too!!

Too Cool for Starbucks

Do you ever have days where you feel awesome? ...and then you go to Starbucks...

The other day I just felt awesome. I got a lot done, baked and ate some Citrus White Chocolate Cookies (recipe in previous post), I loved my outfit that day, and, well, it was just a pretty good day. And then I went to Starbucks.

As soon as I walked in I felt the gaze of every hipster in there. I could almost hear their thoughts...Why aren't you wearing plaid? Where's your scarf in the middle of summer? Where are your non-prescription glasses? Gosh, is this what public high school feels like? Some people think Starbucks makes you cool (I'm looking at you jr high kids who shouldn't be drinking coffee anyways). I say it just amplifies your already existent traits. Starbucks makes cool people oh so much cooler. And, since I'm just like the biggest dork ever...well, let's just say Starbucks doesn't do me any favors.

Every time I'm there I just wonder why I'm  in this building full of people wearing v-necks and TOMS. In fact I don't even own TOMS. It's not that I don't like canvas shoes--they're very comfortable, actually. I do have several pairs of what I call SAMS (the walmart brand of TOMS). I know, I'm a horrible person. And on that 'horrible person' note, I don't even really like Starbucks Coffee. As if I needed anything else to convince you of how completely uncool I am. It's just too expensive for only sort-of good coffee. I love coffee, but the only place that I will pay that much for coffee is Coffee Corners in Burton, OH. Best. Coffee. Ever. So maybe I'm not really that uncool and instead I'm just too cool for Starbucks.

Of course I would be craving Starbucks lemon bread right now....

Last Day!

Last day of classes...and I'm done! YEAH!!! I'm so ready for summer! Anyways, I had a great day that started out (way too early) with a breakfast with the Nav girls and ended with Iron Man 3! So all us Nav girls got together and brought different things for a huge breakfast with chocolate chip pancakes, potatoes, biscuits, bacon and sausage! Oh yeah... it was pretty awesome. I did my last final and well...that was boring but I did pretty well in the class. And I never have to go back to that class!!!! Ever!!! Let's just say that it was neither helpful nor enjoyable in any way....

I was just planning to head home and chill for the evening, but then one of my guy friends from Navs called and wanted to hang out. So we ended up watching some Cougar Town and a bunch of YouTube videos. Later we went with some of his house mates to see Iron Man 3! No spoilers here...but it was a pretty awesome movie! It was a last minute decision to go... so I didn't get to wear my Iron Man shirt :( Oh well...I guess I'll just have to go see it again just so I can wear the shirt! PS don't mind my Merida hair! I had it braided earlier and then I was in my pjs when I realized I still needed to take outfit pictures :p

Well, hope y'all have a great day! Thanks for reading!
