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!

"In fashion, it's easy to take you from the smallest wrong turns and find yourself totally lost...but no matter how lost you are, the trick is to keep searching because you'll never know what you'll find."- Jane Quinby (Jane By Design)  

January 31st, 2012: Mom's Closet

Mom's striped blue and white sweater, Gabriel Brothers pants, Fioni shoes

I know I may be weird for saying so, but I love finding goodies in my Mom's closet.  This sweater though has survived a lot.  My mom has had this sweater for 20+ years and it still is in tact.  This only shocks me because my mom is pretty harsh once it comes to washing clothes.  She may be the greatest at getting out stains, but she's very harsh on everything else.  So, the sweater's a literal vintage piece.  Go Mom!  She had style in the 80's (I'm still working on getting her out of it now, but she's improving!  Very much so!).  So advice for my peeps out there: Mom's closet isn't as scary as you think it is.  She'll never mind you borrowing her clothes because it's almost a compliment.  She'll think she's hip because you're borrowing her clothes now!  So find that one thing, spice it up, and go with it!
