In Limbo

I have been laying around at home all day, listening to the Kid A album and thinking about life. I really have not had many moments to myself this summer, and because it was such a hectic one, I feel as though I really need time to sit back and contemplate. I have a little over a week until I move into my new place and I can start posting outfit posts regularly again. Until then, I am in limbo, at my parents' house...

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind will probably always remain my favorite movie. It is such a beautiful story about relationships and life in general. I have always been able to relate to this line; I always need to be doing things, experiencing things, socializing and enjoying life. But it really does feel good to take it easy every so often.

La di da, that being said...

...As far as clothing goes, I just went thrifting at my local Salvation Army! I CAN'T WAIT to start wearing my new stuff; I got a lot of button-downs and great sheer tops.

And just because I feel like I haven't posted anything I have been wearing lately, I should show you this baby: the one piece of jewelry I have been sporting all summer. Despite my laziness when putting together summertime outfits, this necklace I got from H&M has spiced up my boring ensembles everyday. I kinda am in love with it. The end.

A Lack of Crepes (part 2)

I am beyond excited to be able to start posting again! I finally get back from my adventures traveling to return to an apartment without Internet! I am in the process of moving out, moving home, then moving back into a new apartment all within a few weeks, so things have been pretty hectic since I have returned.
I found this dress while shopping with Coll at Goodwill in the spring and was waiting for a good day to wear it. Tired out from wearing nothing but boring, loose-fitting T-shirts and shorts all the time, I wanted to get decked out for our lunch date. Like Coll mentioned, it turned out we didn't get our crepes, but we did get some yummy Starbucks smoothies, great new earrings made, and pictures instead. Complete with the Cathedral in the background...love!

More posts of my own to start coming again! I promise!

A Lack of Crepes (part 1)

So today Steph and I decided to meet up to go to Crepes on Craig (we've mentioned the place before) but they closed an hour early and screwed up our plans. Instead we went and hit up the best bead store - but I don't actually know the name. It might be the Bead Mine?


We decided to take some photos outside the Cathedral - Steph's will be up later in part two of this post. I'm wearing a thrifted skirt from Goodwill over a silk dress from Aerie which may or may not be a nightgown.


The young woman working at the bead store was SO helpful and even constructed the beads we picked out into earrings for us! It was sweet to watch her bust out a pair of earrings so quickly, and really the price was beyond ideal for a broke college kid!

I changed into a 4$ target skirt for an ice cream run with a friend after because, as the purple skirt was almost entirely polyester, I was dying.
NOTE: my head is at such a weird angle because I threw it up just in time for my self timer to go off. I just feel like I should rightly explain that I am not thissss odd looking all the time! But, as in this picture, I do frequently walk around forgetting my cell is in my hand.

Not So Wild

Today Steph and I reunited for a mini shopping excursion! I was on the hunt for rings after checking out Erin Wasson's Low Luv collection online. These two rings don't compare to her awesome collection, but for $3.80 each they get my point across.



These two necklaces are from my weekend shenanigans at JoAnn Fabrics. With all chains 40% off I got a bit sidetracked and bought a bunch. The first one is quite long while the second is a lot shorter and is around a bib type length. I threw these together as I watched Notting Hill, it was pretty simple.


Onyx necklace from the Strip District. It is almost a choker length and pulls my hair like something fierce. But for 6$ I couldn't pass it up. I might transfer it to a leather cord so it is longer and won't injure me when I wear it.

Today, in addition to the rings, I finally jumped on that lace trend that has been around for a while. I bought a black tank, a black cotton mini for 4$ both of which are from f21. AND I finally got my blazer that I'm going to DIY. After a few days of searching every cheap chain store I found this in the Men's section at Goodwill. It has super defined shoulders already but goes in very nicely at the waist. I can't wait to start this project!
