What I Wore: 5-17-12

 This is the first of the dresses I got on Monday! It is so beautiful!  A funny story comes with this dress.  The daughter of the woman who's house is being cleaned out gave this dress to my little sister, Avery.  She thought it was a little girl's dress but when Avery tried it on when we got home it was too big.  It was.  It was meant for a lady because it had a space for boobs that fell flat on her!  So I sneaked it on because I was told it was not for me because I would rip the seams.  It fits wonderfully. Not too small or too big!  Take that world.  Too bad my mom said it is still Avery's dress.

I feel like such a cool lady in this dress!  So girly and fun!

 So... this is my fail of trying to do a close up of the collar.  I was supposed to cut my  head out of the shot.  So have an up-the-nose picture of me instead (:

List of Ten: Things You May (not) Know About Me

1. I will change my clothes around three times a day.  Not including getting ready for the day.  That could add so many more times.
2. I love to ride bikes.  I need a new one so I will stop stealing my mom's!  A vintage Schwinn would be ideal!
3. I am awful at math.  I am in 10th grade and am taking Algebra 1 for the third year in a row.
4. I am currently using three closets, two dressers, and a rack in my basement for clothing storage.  That may indicate that I love clothes.  Or that I have a serious problem.
5. I am sixteen and don't have a driver's license.  I cannot wait to drive myself all over the place!
6. I would rather have a closet full of vintage clothes than new clothes from the store.  Old clothes hold so much more character and no one ever wears the same thing!
7. I cannot sew well but I will because I am taking four sewing classes next year!  I can finally use my vintage patterns I collect!
8. I have just as many oldies on my ipod as I do any other genre.  They are all so happy and fun!
9. I love hot chocolate!  I will drink it any time I am offered it!
10. I sell vintage clothes!  I sell them out of my house right now, but I am going to have a boutique as soon as I can!

 Today was an incredible day!  It started off with me waking up to not insane messed-up hair.  I slept on it wet and expected it to be a nightmare. Not so, dear readers! Pahahaha success!

This is an outfit that belonged to my grandma before she gave it to me with the rule that I had to wear it to school! I love it so!  I still cannot believe it has escaped my blog for this long.

Yesterday I was absent because right after school I went to a woman's house that if full of so many beautiful treasures!  She is in her 90s and her daughter is trying to clean out her house.  When I say she had collections, I mean she had tons and tons of things.  Like doubles of $200 shoes from 1950.  And a room so full of vintage fabric you could barely walk in it.  Lets not even get started on her old clothes.  I died inside looking at them!  Any way, I was there because she is friends with one of my aunts and she called my mom and told her to bring my sister and me to see if there was anything we wanted.  I left with a car full with vintage clothing and fabric!  I cannot wait to wear them!

What We Wore: Mother's Day

 Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms out there!  I hope you all have an amazing day!

 Glory.  My mom wanted pictures of me and my sister for Mother's Day.  I told her I wouldn't take any more until I could get some of her.  It is Mothers Day.  Not daughters day.

Mimi's Cafe was having a tough time today!  They put us in a table that was reserved so they had to move us.  They gave my mom the wrong drink, which in itself, isn't really a big deal but it adds to the funny troubles they had.  They delivered our food to the wrong table.  The pancakes they gave my dad were burnt so they took them back and sent new pancakes.  The new pancakes were black.  I had a wonderful time laughing!

 Glory!  It's a weekend!  I was quite the lazy bum today.  I didn't get ready for the day until it was almost six pm!  I went to a family barbecue and ate lots of yummy food and got to visit with my grandparents who came down from St. George for the weekend!

 I have tied my hair.  Remember the crazy long hair wraps I did here?  Well this is similar.  That little butterfly is a broken earring that I attached to my wrap. I actually want to let it turn into a real literal dread lock.  But with my mother I know she will make me take it out before that happens.   I am getting bored with my hair all over again.  Can I have just one dread lock? Pink hair?  Something!?

It's the Little Things

• This week led to the first spiders and flies in my room.  WHY!?
• This morning the flies described above woke me up at 7am.
• Last night I went to see Dark Shadows with Anna's family!
• I accidentally dropped the lid to their fancy movie cups during the movie and after we spent ten minutes trying to find it!  Guess where is was?  Right where we looked at least twenty times.
• I got my PLAN testing back and I did really well!
• I have finished City of Lost Souls!  It was so good!  And frustrating!  I loved it!
• I can add yet another bruise to my collection-because I tried to go down a slide and missed.  Don't ask how.  Just know that this is my first time ever doing it. And hopefully my last.  
• My other bruises came from falling down the stairs twice this week and walking into the corner of my bed post.  You could say I am clumsy.

What I Wore: 5-9-12

 Happy May everyone!  It is scaring me how fast this year has gone by.  Especially since March!  I feel like my birthday was a couple weeks ago!  Pretty soon I am going to be starting my junior year in high school and I know I will have no idea where my summer went.  Listen to me - I am complaining summer has ended before it has even started.  Oh dear.

This weather has been absolutely glorious today!  Especially compared to the wind we had for one week straight!  I was preparing myself to shave my head if my hair blew in my lip gloss one more time!  I have to say how excited I am to have gotten my new book CITY OF LOST SOULS!!!! I have been waiting a full year for this book to come out!  It actually came out yesterday and I was dying when I saw people reading it in class. Yes.  I get that excited over books. No, I was not one of those crazy Twilight girls.  Never was, never will be.  But for the Mortal Instruments series?  I think yes.

What I Wore: TO PROM!

If you have heard how lucky I am to have gone to prom, you can read on. If not, you can keep reading this! I was not asked to my school's prom.  Anna, the girl I went to St. George with, was asked by a family friend.  He had a best friend who wanted to go, but didn't have a date.  She told him to ask me because I really wanted to go!  So he looked me up on Facebook, and decided to ask me!

You will have to excuse my super photo dump!

 I had to share this girl with you guys.  She is my screen saver right now.  Creepy, ya?  I just love all of the pink in this photo shoot. And her hair!



My favorite event:

I went to St. George with Anna!  I know this picture shows what I packed but believe me when I tell you that was most definitely not my favorite part.  The only thing worse is unpacking!

It's the Little Things

• I went to my first dance!  It was so so fun!  We went to dinner and danced all night!
• My first dance was my first date! You would not believe how many pictures were taken.  I felt like I was on a stage because so many people were there taking so many pictures!
• It was a blind date!  I had never met Nate before going to prom! It was an adventure!
• I wore a vintage dress!  My dress was from the 1950s!  I loved it so much!  It did unfortunately prove to  be a problem, though.  I know my limits!  I will never wear a 23 inch waist again!  I felt like i was being sucked in by a corset! The lines on my tummy left over say enough.
• Happy birthday Mom!  
• I got to decorate the kitchen for her birthday!  I realized now why no one decorated the kitchen for my birthday!  It is because I do all of the decorating while my dad and sister blew up balloons!
