New Dress

I got this new dress this weekend when me and my mother went shopping. We got really good deals from the holiday sales, and managed to snag 4 things at Younkers for less than $30. Which was nice because Younkers is one of the pricier department stores here, and everything was originally about $50 apiece.

This dress is especially adorable, wasn't to keen on the square neckline at first, my my mother insisted it looked good so I went with it. You can be the judge, but I've decided I really like it after all.
And here's a closeup of the shoes. They're Aldo but I got them for $18 at a consignment shop. SWEET. They're really comfy too for being on the tall side. A lot of people said they didn't understand how I can walk in them, but I really don't think it's hard!

Tuesday

This is what I wore today.

I like the ankle-revealing cut of the pants especially.

And I've been having such a hard time getting pictures with decent lighting, my camera is a piece of shit and it gets dark out at like 4:00 this time of year. So as a result my outfit posts never look nearly as good as they do in real life.

Oh, and it's snowing again.

Hardcore....

This is an old outfit from last week. But I figured I'd post it today since it is Monday morning, which means today is A) laundry day, which means all my favorite clothes are in the wash, and B) I'm feeling sleepy and thus am lounging about in natty old cords and a sweatshirt.

The boots here are pretty much godly, though, I bought them when I was about 14 and was convinced that by having boots covered in buckles and zippers I would magically become the most hardcore punk rock kid ever. I ended up never wearing them, or being "hardcore" for that matter either, and they spent four years in the back of my closet collecting dust.

I found them last week, and decided I to try wearing them again just for kicks (no pun intended). Shown here with black tights, a long striped sweater, and a short denim skirt. And one of my dogs, who refused to get out of the picture. But hey, he's cute, so I'm not complaining.
And speaking of hardcore, take a gander at this tree in my back yard:

Despite the cold and snow, it insists on staying green. Now that's hardcore.

I am.... "Dressy"

So today in government class we're doing a debate, and the teacher said we have to dress up and look "nice". So this is me looking nice! (and waving my arms about in a crazy manner!) (I think I am in need of some posing lessons, because I am the world's worst poser!)


Sequin skirt from Express, tights from Target, Owl from Charlotte Russe, Shoes also from Target, Black tee from Target, vest- JJ Basics (from Younkers)

The skirt is amazing because it is a) sparkley, and b) was free. I spent this summer at a precollege art program, and I traded a pair of my jeans to my friend for this skirt. Luckily she liked my skinnies better than this skirt :D

urgent newes update!!

Guess where I got accepted?! Bradley University! I got the letter in the mail the other day. I'm super excited because that's where I want to go more than anything.

And they've offered me $8500 a year- bitchin'!!
