gross weather

I hate attempting to dress in weather like this. Daily temperatures ranging from 60 - 70, humid and muggy, will it rain, will it not? Can I wear my green pants or will they clash with my rain boots? These are the questions I have to ask myself every morning (and in response to the latter yes, yes they will). So here is what I came up with, sorry this shirt doesn't photograph very well, there will be detail shots farther down...

Woah. Can we just take a second to recognize (as I'm sure you'll notice when you look at the detail photo with my shoes), that I'm wearing pants that aren't skinny? I know, when was the last time this happened? I've been thinking about it, and discounting trousers, I probably only one 4 or 5 pairs of non-skinny pants. To be honest I think the largest category of pants in my wardrobe are the "skinny-and-cropped". Not sure what that says about me?

So apparently since the buttons are in the back of this shirt, it looks like I'm wearing it backwards? I was hurrying to class and some friends from my last class were behind me. I heard them say, "should we tell her?" so of course I turn around and ask, and they tell me that they think my shirt is on the wrong way - oh boys. Don't you understand the concept of decorative buttons? Though I did try it on the other way when I got back to the room just for kicks, and with a tank top and the tag cut out, it could be quite cute backwards too.

Super attractive photo right? I had Nicole take a close-up of my shirt detail and, assuming that my head wasn't included in the picture, made a very attractive face. I was going to crop it, then decided why not keep it? Why not give readers a true taste of what I probably look like most of the day? A.k.a. really odd

Sorry that I haven't posted since Sunday! I'm sure you were all so proud, me posting an actual outfit on a Sunday, then I totally go and ruin it by not posting for two days. Typical me. Thing is, I was super busy yesterday! I know. Me, busy? I'm pretty excited about it too. In addition to classes I went to my Econ professor's office hours to ask some questions, checked answers to our problem set with a girl from my class, had my second experience tutoring, and had my first actual-singing-practice with the girls from Harmony (the internationally-themed, all-girls a cappella group I joined!) - needless to say it was pretty crazy. Unlike today where I watched 3 episodes of Gilmore Girls - a.k.a. my life back to normal, you can all breathe a sigh of relief :) Hope your week is going well so far!

blah day

So today I got up at 11 am, and not for any particular reason, considering that I went to bed before 1... and I haven't really done anything since. Let's see, I: took a shower, went with mom to pick up the car from the shop, had a massage (soooo necessary and lovely), made myself some cauliflower, and watched TV. Fascinating, huh? The exciting part of my day, however, has yet to come - Harry Potter comes out tonight! When I finish this post I'm heading over to a friend's house to watch the first part of the 7th movie, then we are heading over for the midnight showing. Can't wait, even though the theater will be absolutely swarming with the crazy fans, dressed up in costumes (not judging, some of those crazies are good friends of mine, just stating the facts ^^ actually, I dressed up for the last one...)

Yay for self-timer photos! Haha, kidding. Not about the self-timer photo part, the excited part. You know, it's so much easier to find attractive photos when you can have a living, breathing, aware-of-camera-angles person take 30 or so photos of you in 5 minutes than to set your camera on the stairs and take about 10, super-awkward photos. So bear with me folks

 I love this top! It kind of gives me of a retro, diner-waitress vibe, you know? Probably that's just in my head. But put it on with a little black skirt and you would see just what I mean. Or maybe you wouldn't and I'm crazy. Both are definite possibilities

Is this picture awkward? I wasn't sure if it's really considered appropriate on a fashion blog to put up pictures of your jeans zipper (well, perhaps not inappropriate just kind of weird). Whatever. I just really love this belt! I know, it's just a basic brown belt. But honestly I think that everyone needs one. They are just so great for pulling together a basic outfit and giving it a little more polish. I got this one for probably 6 pounds or so when I was in England last summer, and have loved it ever since :)

Other awkward thing about self-timer photos: Since I'm in the house, I always forget to wear shoes! Therefore, I'm awkward and barefoot. Sorry about that

Home alone again... Natalie is on choir tour in Australia (jealous, right? I know I am. Except apparently the first parent email update came in, and they seem to have lost their luggage in-transit. Halfway across the world with no clothing to change into, or even a toothbrush? No thank you. I'm sending positive vibes and crossing my fingers that it will show up for them soon ^^), mom and Aunt Lori just went down to Iowa to pick up some things, and dad is working late. So sad. Next time I'll throw a rager and mess up the house, that'll show them to leave me alone :)

Ok, I need to get myself together and head out the door! To all of you who, like me, are heading to Harry Potter tonight, get excited! Only a few more hours :)
