the photographer

top; urban outfitters ($10), cardigan; old navy (my sissy's), dress; wet seal ($20), jeans; thrifted delias ($2), shoes;thrifted Mary Jane dance shoes thrifted($2), bag; estate sale ($1), scarf; thrifted ($1).

This is a new experiment of mine; over the break i thought i would choose an ornament and construct an outfit around it. quite a challenge. So i oped out of the Santa Clause ornaments, and went for this wonderful camera we had hanging near the top.

So, who remembers this dress from anywhere?
how about here

well i look pretty awful in this photo, but I think this outfit suits this dress (I use dress loosely because it is far to short to even wear as a dress anymore).

happy saturday

So, these pictures are also from awhile ago, but not as long as the others. Lily and I went out to Lakewood Park for a photoshoot and it was freezing. It was about six thirty on a chilly October night — I still don't understand how Lily went without her jacket for so long. Anyway, Lily's the true fashionista in these pictures (we didn't get many of me), but I don't know where her outfit came from. I'll do a little guesswork, but if Lily corrects me I'll fix the tags.

Ps. Remember the first picture from anywhere? Dot dot dot. :)

P.P.S. If you click on the photos, they enlarge and are much prettier. ;)

My outfit:

Headband: Sequined headband, given to me by the Rangerettes

(a lotta guesswork there, huh?)

from our heads to our toes

new shoes, new year, new class, new friends, new problems, new worries, new hopes, new desires, new shoes.

new school year starts the day after tomorrow, and I'm excited but worried about what year ahead of me holds. starting that day I'm going to take pictures of all the outfits I wear, just for you guys, every morning. sigh my mornings will be empty without my usual panicking of getting up on time, going somewhere on time and making sure I'm doing my best on time.

but I've bought myself a new watch to keep it all in order, it should arrive soon, even as i type this post the UPS truck drives by... Its almost been a week since I ordered it. darn you Rumba.

the little black dress

I just love this outfit. I wasn't sure what I was going to wear these shoes with when I bought them at the thrift store but something about this outfit just worked. I sure you will be seeing more of this retired dance shoes, I love the height of the heel so comfortable and easy to walk in. Now all i wish for is a pair of oxfords and just a few more pieces to add to my wardrobe. Too bad that on my budget the highest I can get is Urban Outfitters on "last chance sale". I can only hope.

In other news I just cannot wait for the 4th of July weekend!
