February 16th, 2012: Surprises, Surprises!

Dad's plaid shirt, H&M black belt, gray leggings, black over-the-knee socks, Charlotte 
Russe combat boots, Haitian bracelet

Surprises, surprises!  Number one, I got home and I discovered my birthday present had arrived finally in the mail!!!! 


Yay!!!  My dress form!
So, I've been having a little bit of fun with my new best friend, Doris, and yeah.  I discovered my Dad's shirts are a good source of long t-shirts, and I got to sleep in and drive to school.  Fab.

February 1st, 2012: Dads Are The Best!

Christopher & Banks sweater (Goodwill), Forever 21 yellow tank-top, jeans, Fioni heels, Claire's turquoise bracelets

Lucus calls it the "Fruit Loop Sweater."  Well, I think it was a grade A find in Goodwill.  Here's the story.  So my whole family hops in the car to go practice parallel parking for me when my sister and my dad want to be dropped off at Goodwill.  So, mom and I went driving for a while, and then I went into Goodwill to go get my sister and dad.  Well, I came out, I had an armful of clothing.  I can NOT go into a Goodwill and not drool.  It's just not possible.  The best part was that when I went to pay, my daddy paid for both my sister's and my 
stuff.  Sure, we're his kryptonite.  But he's also my daddy!  And I love him!  Anyways, it was also my first day in heels at school.  And it wasn't bad.  I actually enjoyed it.  The only part I didn't like was that I was slower in my pace getting to classes which a major downfall when you want to be early.  But fashion is all about sacrificing for the look you want, especially for those daily compliments that you so long for every day.  <3
So this is to a shout out to the people who compliment me: I LOVE YOU!
