DC

What's sleep? It's finals week and sleep is something I'm looking forward to when this is all over.

Anyways, here are a few more pictures from the trip I took to Virginia. This is from the day we went to DC. We started out by going to the National Archives (which is the reason we decided to watch National Treasure when we got home that evening). After that we split up and three of my siblings (Laura, C, and M) went with me. We ended up going through several museums. Then we got a snack and sat on a bench in the mall to people watch. I found out later that in the same amount of time, the rest of my family only went to one museum--and that's why I'm so glad we divided into groups.

I'll leave you guys with these last two pictures from the Natural History Museum's gift shop. C's expression is just amazing and I think I look like I have a brain slug (Futurama) on my head.

Goodbye Snow

It was in the 50s today--so warm! I'm also happy to be wearing such springy colors!

Part of Your Wooooooorld

I look like Ariel.

Misadventure

I usually just go to the post office by my parents' house, but I had to mail a few things today so I went out to find the post office by my house. For those of you who don't know, I'm terrible with directions and I get lost very easily. Long story short, I drove around for awhile before finding the post office.

Shades of Cognac

As I was running out the door, I realized that my shoes and belt were completely different colors. This really bothered me the rest of the day.

Leggings?

Dress - Walmart // Sweater - JCPenney // Shirt - Joe Fresh // Tights - Marc's // Socks - Merona // Shoes - Breckelles

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.

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.

Surprise Vacation

Dress - Forever21 // Cardigan - Thrifted // Tights - Merona // Shoes - Delia's

School was cancelled for a few days and it was amazing! Akron rarely cancels, so you know it was bad. I got a bunch of projects done that I'd been putting off (plus, I didn't have to go outside in the horrible weather).

So Graceful

Walking back from class the other day I overheard a conversation between the two girls behind me. They were talking about how funny it is to see people tripping. At least they were walking behind the right person because, yes, I did eventually trip.

Lots of Blue

Dress - Sunny Girl (Modcloth) // Tights and Socks - Merona // Shoes - Madden Girl // Cardigan - Thrifted (Old Navy) // Belt - Body Central

This is one of my favorite dresses, and I really wish I had blogged more last year 'cause I would definitely have a huge remix post ready!

The Saga Continues

Dress - En Creme (Modcloth) // Cardigan - Clothing Swap // Tights - Merona // Boots - Delia's // Belt - Old Navy

After losing my walking-to-class-in-the-freezing-cold buddy, I ran into yet another friend who walks the same way as me. How convenient. I forgot I got these boots from Delia's, did y'all know they're going out of business? They still have a few things and everything is around 50% - 70% off! 

On a completely different note, I'm really tired of my hair like this. I really enjoyed letting it be natural (for the record it's very straight in these pictures), but I want to do something different. What do you guys think about shorter hair with bangs? If you have ideas you can send them to me on Pinterest! There's a link on the left side.

Thank Goodness for Fleece Tights

So, if you read yesterday's post, I was trying to decide whether to walk or drive to a class on the other side of campus. One of my friends had a class in the same building at the same time as me, so I ended up walking. It was cold. Very cold. At least the class is fun (sarcasm) . . .

Walking in the Snow

Dress - Kling (Modcloth) // Cardigan - H&M // Tights - Merona // Boots - Breckelles // Belt - Body Central

It's dang cold here, there's lots of snow, and I have to figure out how to get to my Wednesday/Friday lecture tomorrow. If I walk from the art building I'll be really cold, but I can definitely get a parking spot. If I drive... well, there's no guarantee I'll be able to park, but I'll definitely be warmish. What to do, what to do . . . 

Tarpon Springs

Thanks, Catherine for taking the photos of me!

So yeah, these are pictures from Florida (My sister and I are visiting my Papaw). Know what that means? I'm all caught up on old photos!! At least I'm assuming I am. You know, at this point I'm not going back to check. I've really wanted to improve the quality of the photos on my blog, so I'm really excited to be done with the older photos and start posting new, hopefully better, ones!

Anyways, these are from Tarpon Springs in Florida--a rather fun, beautiful, place. This was the one place I was really looking forward to visiting on this trip since the last time I went was 10 years ago! Tarpon Springs is a beautiful little tourist town with dolphin watching, sponge diving, and the largest Greek population compared to any other city in the US.

We went out on a boat to watch a guy sponge dive--very fun. After that we just walked around the town and visited a bunch of family owned shops. I bought some lilac goat's milk soap which, I must add, smells amazing. Later, we drove to the less touristy area and walked through several antique shops. One in particular had a very large WWII section with uniforms, weapons, letter...etc. Busy day! But very fun :) Hope summer's going well for all of you!

Christmas Vacation

Well, it's been a busy past few weeks! Busy, but fun. I'm actually in Florida right now visiting my Papaw :) But, like I said it's been busy. It's not like we've been going lots of places...it's just that it's a lot of work being on vacation when you're not a kid! I hope your Christmas was great--I know mine was!

So one of the funnest things I've done since getting to Florida was going out to dinner and to see a movie with my dad! I finally got to see Thor: The Dark World, which I must say I liked a lot better than the first one! Anyways, after the movie we were supposed to go to dinner...but that didn't really work out at first. Since the movie was late, we had to find a restaurant that was open even later. But, when we got to the one I picked out it was closed already. An hour early. Yeah, great. And we couldn't find any other restaurants so we were about to just settle for fast food when we finally found a restaurant that was open later. And, guess what. It was right next to the theater we had just driven away from :p So we drove all over tarnation just to end up right back at the same place! Oh well, it was still fun! And, by the way, my dad is really awesome 'cause he still makes sure to spend one-on-one time with all of his kids even though he has so many of them!

Oh...and I wore the same dress as in the pictures too! Haha. Even though the material's a bit thin, I do like it better with tights. Anyways...hope the rest of 2013 is great for y'all. Considering my posting schedule the past few weeks I'm guessing I won't get anything up until next year :p

PS I keep forgetting to say that my brother Michael's been taking most of my pictures lately 'cause my new (awesome) camera's too big for the old tripod. Thanks, Michael!

Sweater Weather

Sweater - Arizona Jeans // Skirt - GAP (Thrifted) // Tights - Merona // Boots - Thrifted

It's funny 'cause for years I hated both sweaters and dresses. And now, that's basically all I wear. Anyways, I finished all my finals and I am officially home for Christmas break! I haven't done much yet, but I did go to see Catching Fire and The Hobbit. Catching Fire was sooo much better than the first movie, but I thought the first Hobbit was better than this one. Well, I wish I could write more, but I have to go help my sister with her costume and makeup--she's in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. Hope y'all have a wonderful break!
