What I Wore: 2-1-12

 I love the girls at my school.  It seems like the stylish girls all have an unspoken clique.  Even when we do not even know each other's names.  When we see an outfit we like, we make sure they know it.  We could be best friends to someone watching us.  Today was a social day.  I appreciate all of the nice compliments that I have received.  It is good for confidence.  It  has been decided to make an extra effort to compliment girls more.






 I have wanted to do a post featuring the fashion at my high school for a long time now.  Maybe this spring.  It could start up some fun conversations, increase blog followers, and I could make new friends at the same time!  It can only be called a win-win-win!

Hot Diggity Vintage!

I have such exciting news!  I am starting up a vintage clothing business: Hot Diggity Vintage! I am so excited to do something that I am so passionate about.  I am mostly going to sell locally, although if someone emails me about a piece that they are interested in from the post, I could probably sell it.  I follow the same rule as if I were buying for myself: Do not buy it unless you love it.  It makes it that much more difficult to sell the clothes because I want to keep them all!  

I have pulled together my favorite pieces for this post, so check them out!

 Navy 1960s peter pan collar dress: Size- small; Price-$30;
 Burlap jacket: Size- small/medium; Price-$25

 Pink Cardigan: Size-any; Price-$10;
 Black dress: Size-small; price-$25;

 Tie blouse: Size-large; Cost-$12; This has never been worn, and still has the original tag!
 Tweed skirt: Size-small; Price-$15
 Red/purple skirt: Size-small; Price-$16;

 Wool skirt +belt: size-x small; price-$20;

Homemade yellow sundress: Size-small; price-$18;

What I Wore: 1-30-12

 I love this comfy, cute outfit!  When I look at these pictures, I realized how long my hair has gotten!  I am planning to get it around my waist- just like Luna Lovegood!  What I really want for my hair is to color it pastel pink!  I love crayon colored hair so much!  In my opinion it shows that you are brave enough to show off your personality and individuality.  One day, hopefully soon, I will achieve my dreams of pretty pink hair.

What Alli and I Wore: To the Dance!

 Alli and I played dress up again to go to a stake dance!  See the shoes I am wearing?  Another pair of platform heels I got for Christmas!  Don't worry that you cannot see them so well in the picture, because I can almost promise they will be worn again in the very near future!

The Retro Night!

 Alli and I went to a basketball game at our high school on retro night.  Alli's mom was a cheerleader in the 80's and let us borrow her old uniforms!  It is funny, because every time we go out, it seems that Alli and I play dress up!  She loves to go through my closet and lets my mom and me basically treat her like a giant barbie doll, because we do hair, makeup, and put her in my clothes!  I, of course, dress up too!


It's the Little Things...

  • I am back!  I took an unwanted break from blogging, thanks to a (please excuse my unladylike language) stupid, jerk, face who thought it would be a good idea to create a virus that would destroy my computer.
  • Falling in love with the 1920's.  I am reading a series called: The Flappers.  It starts in 1923 and follows four girls.  I love the style and words that they used to use!  This series is highly recommended!
  • I get to super-clean my room after I am finished posting.  This could take a while.
  • Jinxing myself after I was telling family that I have not thrown up since fourth grade.  The next day I got the stomach flu.
  • Living in bed and in front of the TV on Monday and Tuesday.
  • Starting a vintage clothing business!  I will be doing a feature on it later this week!

Sunday's Style: 1-29-12

 Hello friends!  I am ecstatic to be back! Like my outfit?  I got it for Christmas!  I am so sorry for missing out on posting Christmas pictures and a large review of 2011.  There is a chance that I will still review.  I am also going to kick off a new posting series, and share a couple favorite outing outfits with my best friend Alli!
 These shoes were at the top of my Christmas list.  I figured they were just as good as Jeffery Campbell Litas, with a more affordable price.  I have a new found love for platform shoes!

Happy to be Back!

I am so excited to announce that after one horribly, lonely month, I am back to blogging!  Right before Christmas, a nasty virus got my computer and...Memory gone.  Pictures gone. Computer gone.  I was so mad! All of my plans for wrapping up 2011 were gone with my computer(but maybe I will still do a review of the year anyway!).  So, I do not blame a single soul who lost faith in me and this little blog after I disappeared from the world wide web- but I promise that if you stick around, you will see amazing new outfits thanks to Christmas and a new blogging series that I have been anticipating to kick off!

Love, love,

Its the Little Things...



  • Like so many Parties all week, including another tonight!

  • Getting my driver's permit!

  • Sewing a dress from a vintage pattern!

  • No school!

  • Shopping and hanging out with my grandparents this week!

  • We saw The Nutcracker!

  • A little boy told me I was beautiful and a waitress told me I looked like a princess...good day!

  • Today has been completely set aside to make cookies until the Christmas eve party tonight!

  • Tomorrow is Christmas! It still doesn't feel like it to me, but maybe after cookies or the party.

  • Merry Christmas!

The Nutcracker!

Here we are meeting for lunch before The Nutcracker! The food was super yummy, and the waitress was so nice! She was (I'm guessing) Russian and her name was Anastasia! On my way out, she told me I looked like a princess. Well, I think Anastasia would know about princesses, so it really made my day. Who doesn't love huge compliments?!Brrr! We walked to the theater from lunch and it was chilly! Because the top of my dress is lace, I had to wear a strapless bra. Because I am lacking up top, the stupid thing ended up around my waist by the time we made it to the theater. Joy.

It was so fun to go out with all of the girls in the family! I hope we do it again soon!
