Up All Night

I have so much to do and I'm procrastinating. Yay.

These Boots Were Made For . . . Trudging Through The Snow

Dress - Sunny Girl (Modcloth) // Cardigan - Cotton On (Thrifted) // Tights - Marc's // Boots - Delia's // Belt - Body Central

It's so sad that it felt really warm today . . . and it was only in the 20s. Also, my hair feels too long, I can't wait to chop it all off again!

Leggings?

So guess what, school wasn't cancelled. Even though basically every other school was. That's Akron for you. I didn't plan an outfit because I was so sure they'd cancel at the last minute. It was so cold that I just threw on a bunch layers without really thinking about it. So this is my equivalent to throwing on leggings before running out the door.

Please Don't Make Me Leave My House

I'm really hoping they cancel school tomorrow. It's supposed to be below zero. On a completely different note, I just wanted to say thanks to all of you who've been commenting! IntenseDebate isn't working anymore and for some reason my computer rarely lets me comment on blogs (like I'll write them out but they never show up...). Anyways, I am reading them, but it's just really difficult to respond.

No School

For some reason Akron has Tuesday instead of Monday off for President's Day. Not that I'm complaining. Heck, I don't have to go to school!

Long Day

Dress - Hello Miss // Sweater - Arizona Jean // Tights - Marc's // Boots - Breckelles // Necklace - Modcloth // Socks - Merona

I'm so tired right now. I ended up being at school for 11 hours yesterday and was so busy all day that I didn't even have time to take photos. It was a really cool day, but I'll write about it later 'cause I need sleep.

Comfy

Dress - Charlotte Russe // Shoes - Payless // Tights - Marc's // Sweater - JCPenney // Necklace - Modcloth

I rarely wear the same outfit twice, because I like to remix, but I have worn this multiple times. This is the best travel outfit ever--I would know,'cause I wore it on several 20 hour car rides last year!

Handmade

Dress - American Eagle (Thrifted) // Sweater - Worthington // Tights - Marc's // Boots - Delia's // Necklace - Handmade

I used to make jewelry all the time but I just recently got all my stuff out again. It's been really fun watching Friends or Criminal Minds in the evening and actually being productive! The necklace in this outfit is one of the ones I made last night. What do you think?

Crumpled Up Kleenex

Dress - Doe and Rae // Tights - Marc's // Boots - Delia's // Cardigan - Thrifted // Necklace - Forever21

No, I'm not sick (surprisingly). The flowers on this cardigan just look like crumpled up kleenex to me. So I got rid of it the moment I got home. I'd been saving it because I like the color, but the weird flowers on the front are just ... weird. Well, they really look like crumpled up kleenex stuck to my shirt. It's gross. Since I can't remove them without seriously damaging the cardigan, it's going to be removed from my closet.

On a slightly unrelated note, there's nothing like an unexpected foot (or three) of snow to remind you of how awful winter is. Every January (and, well, yeah, February too) I plan elaborate vacations to very warm places (for when I actually have money one day, you know?) and check out the cost of living in other (warmer) states. And because of all the dang snow, I'm stuck wearing these same boots! I miss wearing my other shoes :( I missed them so much that I took this picture. Actually, it just happened to be the magical 'golden hour' and, wouldn't you know it, my shoes looked pretty fantastic in the light. Obviously I had to take a picture. It's even my Facebook cover photo now, haha.

Redesign

Dress (worn as a shirt) - Forever21 // Shirt, Skirt, Shoes, and Socks - Thrifted // Sunglasses - Marc's

Like most of the pictures I've posted recently, these ones are from quite a while ago. May actually, I think. We were at the zoo for an adoption picnic. All I remember about this outfit was how stinkin' many layers went into it. And it was HOT that day. Everyone in my family, and most of the people at the picnic, had matching maroon shirts on. And for some reason mine was in Akron and I wasn't about to drive over an hour just to get a stupid maroon T-shirt. So I just wore a maroon dress instead, so it sort-of matched. Anyways, I wore the dress tucked into a skirt, and put a skirt underneath it so it didn't cling, and then put a collared shirt underneath because. . . well, just because. Maaaan, never wearing that again.

Anyways, if you've ever visited my blog before you'll notice that it looks . . . totally different. Completely different, in fact. I've been meaning to redesign the blog for awhile, but just never had the time. I actually had a completely different design in mind, but this is just what I ended up with, haha. Oh well, I kind of like it for now. It's better than what I had. I mean, it worked last year, but my tastes are different now. Anyways, let me know what you think of the new design. And yeah, I'm aware that I somehow need to figure out how to do the navigation better. But it works for now!

I'm Not Here Right Now

It's true. I'm not actually here right now. Well, I'm not there. In Ohio, that is. After driving all stinkin' day yesterday (no, really--I actually did most of the driving) I am finally in Florida! (Yet another reason for me to hurry up and finish posting old pictures.)

Anyways, these pictures are from my brother's birthday (waaaay back in May) and he had a medieval theme for his birthday. So I kind of went with a medieval-ish look for my outfit that day. 

Irrelevent Post Title

Dress - Modcloth // Jacket - Gift // Glasses and socks - Marc's // Shoes - Steve Madden

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!

The Birthday Month

Dress - Forever21 // Cardigan - H & M // Belt - Wet Seal // Shoes - Madden Girl // Socks - Marc's // Shirt - Thrifted

Why does everyone in my family have their birthday in late May or early June? Don't get me wrong, I love birthdays. Especially family birthdays. Especially when those birthdays are really close together and sometimes are even consecutive! Ok, that last part was definitely sarcasm. But come on, there are a lot of people in my family! Well, happy birthday to ... well almost everyone in my family.

At Least my Work is Done!

Well, I don't know about you, but I kind of like the results of my impromptu blog re-design!  But I really need to blog earlier in the day...I worked on my poster designs for several hours and I, again, don't feel like writing. Come to think of it, I actually had a very productive day. Aside from doing 4 poster designs and a website design, I also did a ton of housework and finally purchased a rake! Yeah, I have a huge oak tree in my front yard and...well it's shedding :p Most of the leaves haven't fallen off yet and I still ended up picking up two bags of leaves!! I'm really not looking forward to the rest of the leaves falling off.

Bringing Creative Back!

Yeah, so I didn't actually go to the Brown's game, but I was right across from the stadium and just had to take some pictures of all the people. It was ridiculous how many people there were! We couldn't even park in the Science Center's parking lot 'cause it was a Brown's game day. And there were so many people that they started walking in the street--in front of cars--and wouldn't even stop walking to let us into the place where we could actually park. Seriously, people really were walking in the middle of the street like "the Brown's game is more important than my life." 

Anyways, the real reason we went to Cleveland was to go to the Titanic exhibit at the Science Center. Wow, it was amazing! So well done and well designed too! I never get tired of studying the Titanic. There was no photography allowed in the exhibit...so I have no pictures for you. Probably the coolest part was one part of the exhibit that showed which passengers were headed for the Northeast Ohio area. 

On another note...if you've visited my blog before, you'll notice it looks completely different! I've been planning a new site design for awhile and well, this isn't it. I'm still planning the other one. But, I was bored and I just decided to do this! Also, I'm finally feeling creative again! Anyways, I'm kinda like this design...so at least I'm happy with it until my other new design is done :p

...Inspiration. I really need some. There are times when I'm super creative and other times when I'm just...really not. I love art school, but I hate when I have an absolutely brilliant idea...after the assignment's due! Lately I've been trying to make myself be creative even when I don't feel like it. That's one reason I'm blogging now. I've had a long day and I'm just tired and done being creative. It's practice.

I think that's one reason my posts have been so (not) awesome lately. By the time I'm done with school and homework I'm just fresh out of creative. I've always loved being artistic and designing things, but I don't want it to become a chore. I want design to be something I love! So yeah, that's what I'm focusing on this semester--being creative when I have to and not just when I want to.
