what i wore

on wednesday i went to choir practice and this is what i wore...

 

 

 

dress: Modcloth

jeggings: Gap

heels: Target

earrings: Target

ring: Etsy

braclets: hand-me-down

 

i really loved this outfit. it made me feel pretty and feminine, and i wore heels with jeans without feeling awkward and tall. i'm only 5'5", but sometimes when i wear three inch heels i feel too tall. maybe it's just that i have short friends? ;)

 

yesterday i went to get my hair a much needed cut and color. i got several inches trimmed off, and a cute bob is the result. i also changed my fringe bangs to short and sweet swooped bangs. i love the change. i'm loving my short hair! i might even go short after graduation. something like this maybe. we'll see. :) anyways, here is what i wore!

 

 

 

tee: Forever 21, hand-me-down

skirt: Forever 21

tights: Gap

flats: Steve Madden

earrings: Ruche

sunglasses: Modcloth

braclets: hand-me-down

 

i liked this outfit too, but didn't like the black shoes with the rest of it. i really wished i had a cute pair of yellow wedges like these, or these strappy sandals.

 

okay, it's sleepy time for me. have a great weekend!!

what i wore: january 12

 

Let's see, the last What I Wore Wednesday I had my hair in a thick braid. That won't be happening again for a long time because... I cut 14 inches of my hair off! I actually got it cut over a month ago and just haven't gotten around to taking pictures. :-) So here's my WIWW shots, complete with a new 'do. (It's in a small pony-tail in these pics.)

 

What I Wore:::

Love tee: Target

Jeggings: Gap

Boots: Payless

Necklace: Target

Earrings: Christmas gift (from thumbleon Etsy)

I wore a navy blue knit sweater over this all day, but I forgot to take pics with it on. Oops!

 

 

I waited till it was dark to take these, so they are kind of goofy & I had to use the flash. Next week I will have my mom take some for me!

 

Happy Wednesday!!

 

sunday ramblings

1. Winter.

I've discovered I really like winter. Fall is still my favorite season, but there's something about the crisp, cold months of the year. They're, refreshing. You get a chance to relax and enjoy the little things.

2. Harry Potter.

Okay, so I know I'm a few years late, but I've finally jumped on the Harry Potter bandwagon. Last week I started reading the first book, and I'm hooked. I'm now on book two. This week I've been really sick with a nasty sinus/fever/cough thing. My whole family got it, so there has been lots of laying-on-the-couch-reading tea-drinking being done around here. Which means lots of time to read! :-)

3. Chocolate.

I love chocolate. Toblerone, Almond Joy, M&M's, Peanut Butter Cups, Chocolate Lava Cake's. What's your favorite chocolate-y treat?

4. Shoes.

 A girl can't have too many shoes, can she? I've been particularly smitten with these pairs:

 
one. two. three. four. five. six.

and these in yellow.

Pair # three I would love to wear for graduation, but the heel is just a bit too high to get past the dress code enforcer. :-D

5. Graduation.

I can't believe it. In May I will be graduating high school. I'm so excited!! Some days it seemed like the time would never come, and now it's so close. I've been scouring the internet for a dress, and have found several. Maybe I will do a post of dresses and shoes??

6. A Photo & A Thought.

Have a lovely week!!

What I Wore Wednesday

a full day and a late night kept me from posting this yesterday. so, what i wore wednesday on a thursday! ☺

 

i had the idea to start a weekly outfit post because i love reading/looking at them on other people's blogs, so i thought it might be well received here. each wednesday (or thursday, though i am going to try my best to post on wednesday's) i will post a photo of my outfit that day with a list of what i'm wearing, and links.

so here we go!

 

 

i couldn't get any good photos. in all of them the background was in focus, instead of me. i have visions of getting really creative with these pictures. i hope to get better each week!

 

what i'm wearing:

t-shirt: Gap (simular)

jean leggings: Gap

coat: Tucker for Target

shoes: my ever reliable Steve Madden flats

hair: messy :-)

earrings: Target (sorry you can't see them in the photo)

 

 

i'll be back with a post or two a little later. probably not a craftiness post, but some photos for sure!

 

new shoes

mom and i popped in to Payless last week and found some pretty new shoes. here are the ones i got...

 
these boots

 

 
and these cute flats

 

i also loved these and these.

 

have you gotten any new shoes or pretty things lately? or seen anything drool worthy? leave links! i'd love to see. :-)
