The sun will come out...today? What's this?!?



Black shirt: WalMart 
 Sweater: Thrifted 
 Skirt:Thrifted 

Today was sunny :) sun is good. But Washington sun in February is cold!!!!! These pictures may make it look like it was all happy and warm, but we were shivering. Mostly internally.
My outfit today was fabulously comfy, and this skirt is just perfect for swing-dancing. Unfortunately I haven't swing-danced since November (and that didn't really count), and have never been to a real swing dance :( Poor me. One day!!! 
I was a substitute nanny today to my darling little two year old neighbor :) She's just the cutest thing ever! 
Now I'm tired, and I have a bit of chemistry homework for tomorrow. 
Oh! I also made chocolates :) They're yummy.

Ha. Ha. Ha. I'm strange.


Shirt: thrifted 
 Skirt: thrifted 
 Tights: Target 
 Hat: Macy's

Do you like my ridiculously cheesy smile there? Yeah, I thought so. I could win awards in modeling. 
Sorry for talking about my college class again, but I have had it with that ridiculous teacher. I turned in my essay on Friday (the day it was due) and I'm still waiting for the grade. Still. She also seems to make up her own writing rules without telling us.
Okay. I'm done complaining for today. Promise.
You know what I realized? I need a personal photographer...some really attractive dude to just follow me around for a few minutes every day, take pictures, and pick out the ones that look good. Wouldn't that be the best? hehe. Then there would be no more self-portrait disasters like these.
On a happier note, I went to Keola's today :) and I got to see Elias. 
I'm also vice chairing at Mock Leg on Saturday. Yay :)

My camera has been found! 
Right now, I am beyond thrilled that 30 for 30 has only 13 days to go...I kind of cheated today. My family and I went shopping at the thrift store today, and I am now the owner of ten or more beauteous "new" items. And I'm kind of excited to be able to wear all of my clothes again :) But I shall not give up, no sir! (or ma'am. I'll be politically correct here.) 
Today has been good :) Thrift store treasure hunting, church, chai spice ;) adding garlic back into my diet, and now I'm eating pineapple and kiwi. Hooray for tropical fruit in winter! 
I may or may not have some big (exciting!!!) news coming. We'll be in touch; I should know within a week or so :)
Today, I punched yet another hole into my already small belt. Should I be afraid?

My Camera is Somewhere...

Hello. This is what I wore today:
I know. I'm such a cheater. But comfy jeans and Aeropostale sweatshirts just sounded too lovely to resist.
Hey. I can't find my camera...so I had to use my abysmally lame webcam. After heavy, heavy editing, the picture you see above came to be. It's grainy, blah blah blah. Whatever. Today was not a dressing up kind of day. In fact, my hair has not been brushed since I washed it earlier, and there is mascara smudged under my eyes and streaming down my face. 
This is what I wore for part of the day to stay true to 30 for 30: 
Sweater: Thrifted 
 Skirt: Thrifted
Today has been spent mostly sleeping, going on facebook, reading the Daybook, and cleaning my room. I have also been checking my online class frequently, anxiously awaiting my essay grade.
Fingers crossed.
...What is that even supposed to do, anyways?
Someday, I will take pictures for days 14 and 15 and put them up. Today is not someday.

Confessions and Choir

Hello dears. You remember me, right? Well, unfortunately, I've been busy and sick. These two do not combine well. So, between writing English papers and trying not to faint whenever I stand up, I simply have had no time to take outfit shots. But I promise I have been diligent in my 30 for 30! If I am up to it, tomorrow I shall dress up in my outfits from yesterday and today, and take catch-up pictures. Right now, it's time for...dun dun dunnnnnnnn...
Choir concert pictures!


Haha. I was having scarf issues. You see that mop of turquoise fringe? Yeah, that's supposed to be in the back.
We're an interesting bunch, as I'm sure you can see.

Sunny, One so True, I ♥ You


Cardi: The Limited 
 Shirt: WalMart 
 Scarf: Old Navy 
 Skirt: Thrifted 
 Tights: Online 
 Shoes: Converse Outlet

It's sunnnnnnny! Of course, this put in mind a song from last year's choir concert, "Sunny."
Today was a colorful day, full of bright purples and pinks and turquoises. I rather had a lot of fun with my outfit today, excepting one thing. I now have some advice to give to my darling dear readers. You ready? Okay, lean in a little closer. (whispers) Never, ever, ever wear thigh-high tights and a not-long skirt. Just...don't. It will not end well. These tights...well, they're thigh-highs. And they were rolling down my legs the entire day. Not the most comfortable thing. But they're just too fun to not wear once in a while :)
I am officially not in love with college. The teacher of my online class was not specific in her directions, so I followed what the textbook considered to be a "good essay outline." I got SEVENTY. PERCENT. because the teacher had her own "Academic Essay Outline Method" that was perfect and pristine. Um. My mascara is NOT on my eyelashes anymore, and my poor little pillow is all wet and black-looking now.
Tomorrow is the choir concert dress rehearsal! Who is ready for four hours of singing and working out the many, many kinks of a K-12 performance? I am! I can only imagine that there will be many, many pictures taken during the down-time portions of this.
