Pull your pants up

 I believe I wore this Friday.... Yeahhh, I tend to not post my outfits the day I wear them.

I went to go see my friend's band play at a bar last night, and oh my goodness, they are so good! Their style of songwriting has completely changed since I played a show with them. What blew me away was their use of instruments. They had a xylophone and a weird little instrument that I can't seem to remember the name of.... Once I get my phone back, I'll look it up and put a picture of it up here.
     So anyways, you're probably saying "So what, big deal, people have instruments in bands like that all the timeee", well, the wow factor for me is that these boys are still in high school, and they have all of these dynamics and what not. Mannnn, I just have respect for them as artists, because I don't have the talent they have.

Reflections show what you can't see

Shirt- Old Navy
cardigan-Silence and Noise (Urban Outfitters)
Skirt-Sparkle + Fade (Urban Outfitters)
Tights- Target
Flats- BGD (Urban Outfitters)

I wore this Wednesday and didn't really have the energy to go outside and take pictures because I was studying for a pre-calc and physics test.  I had a history test the next day also, but I didn't study for it. I ended up getting an A on it though! I got a 74 on the physic test and I don't know what I got on the pre-calc class. He never does tell us...
     Anywho, after school yesterday, I went out to my local thrift store to get a job application, cause I reallyyyyyy wanna work there. (They hire people like, 10 seconds after they fire someone though. It's ridiculous...) Even though I had no intention to, I bought some things while I was there. A purple mini skirt, a red skirt (need to hem), a skirt with a chevron print on it (need to finish hemming), a  blue shirt with a parrot on it, and a shirt with some nice lace detail on it. It's from Fredericks of Hollywood.... Which is a lingerie store in my mall... So it may be lingerie.....

Wonderful Wardrobes: Edition IX

1. Days 20thand 21st  by DearBeatrice
She's doing this really cool thing, "dressember". And I have to give her points for sticking to it, because I know that I wouldn't want to  wear a dress every day of December, my legs would freeze! The color of her tights is a beautiful deep rich red, and I now have an eye out looking for a pair like that.
 2. Robes and Furred Gowns Hide All by The Clothes Horse
 Okay, seriously, how awesome is that cardigan?! Just thinking about having a cardigan like that makes me happy. It would make so many outfits look cooler. Gahhhh, you have no idea.
3. A Partridge in a Pear Tree by Jess Loves Fred
 When I saw this red dress, I instantly regretted not buying a dress the same color at a thrift store the other day. That dress didn't have pleats, like this one, so it wasn't as awesome, but red is such a vibrant, beautiful color to have a dress be. And seriously, with the coat-sequin thing? B-e-a-utiful.
4. The Winner is by Hand it over
 I reallly like double breasted things. Preferably in navy, soooo, obviously, I like her coat. Her shorts are super fun, kind of like a navajo print, looks like they'd be fun to wear. And lovee her lace shirt.
5. Hallelujah by The Stylish Wanderer
Gosh, I just seriously love the color combination here. I would never have thought to pair the two. Color wise or style wise. I mean, the jacket seems way too casual for the dress, but together they create a unique look. I also like the stiffness of the dress, if that makes sense.
This is her childhood coat. Like, seriously? I can't imagine how big it was on her when she was a child. Her dress, the skirt of it is a beautiful dark red velvet. Mhhh, it's beautiful paired with the lace of the top.

Paisley like whaaa


 I'm really liking the color of this shirt. In fact, I like it as much as I used to like the shirt below. Although, I've come to not like that shirt as much as I used to...
 I went out on a friend date with my boyfriend's best friend today at Hooters. Heyheyhey, we only went there because he had a $25 gift certificate. And for your information, I prefer Wing house over Hooters. It's just the atmosphere I guess. Anyways, I got snow crab legs. Delishhhhh.
 Auditions for my school's musical, Aida, are coming up soon. I have to have a one minute monolouge and sing 16 bars of a song. Aida is kinda like a rock opera, and I don't really know that my voice is capable of handling that, but I figure I'll still try, ya know?
 Also, induction stuff for the International Thespian Society is nearing closer. For any of you long time readers, you'll know that I got inducted into the ITS last year, and had to go through hell week. Now I get to do that to someone this year :)

Tap a-tap tap

 My wonderful boyfriend took me to the international mall yesterday, which has an Urban Outfitters in it. Andddd that's where I spent most of my time for the day, which he wasn't too happy about, but oh well:) I got this shirt, this cardigan, a skirt, and black flats. My boyfriend and I also saw a ginger family. It was a trifecta of beautiful-ness. Ginger mommy, ginger daddy and ginger baby. I almost exploded from my excitement! Basically, we creeped on them for the rest of the time we were in the mall, haha.
 I brought the new year in with good friends, good food, and a free guitar. Some people on this world are so nice. I am so thankful for the things and people in my life.
 I love the look of vintage Dooney and Bourke, and this may be a knock off, but it's still good enough for me, haha :)
 My shoes also came in the mail. BEAUTIFUL.
 Ergggg, there used to be a really awesome pinecone in that necklace, but it fell out today while I was at Barnes&Noble. I bought a really nice leather journal while I was there, though. I resolve to make an entry in it every day. One of my many resolutions....
