circle of life

If it were up to me, I would have stayed home all day in PJs and gone to work in sweats. But no, it's my friend's birthday, so I had to throw on something decent, for his sake.

Tee, Target (Women's plus...on clearance for $3 so I bought it and adjusted the size). Earrings, Bakers, $8-ish.

it's about time

It's also my sister and photographer's birthday! Yay for 13 years old-ness! :]

Despite it being her first day as a teenager, I made her take a photo of me (hey, I'm taking her to the mall...to buy crocs...butttt that's a different story.)


Pants, Express, $10 on sale. Top, Marshall's, $3? clearance. Cardigan, mom's closet. Flip flops, Old Navy, $2.50.

And while in Minneapolis, MN before going to the Mall of America, we went to the Walker Art Center's sculpture garden, where I saw this. And I thought, that'd be really cool inspiration for clothing, the whole organic floral-ness contrasted with the steel structure.


And then I thought...oh wait...

Please Excuse My Disrupting Absense of Styling

(phew! that acronym was mind-exhausting -- i really need school back)

But anyway, I have returned from my Ridiculous Yellowstone Road Trip with the fam, and I am SO GLAD to be home. I have plenty of new stuff to show! So stay tuned :]

For now, just some polyvoring.


And I have always been in love with cardigans, they're so versatile and easy. This fall/winter, I want some not-so-boring ones. Cute details make the clothes!

where troubles melt like lemon drops away above the chimney tops

Look at these enticingly juicy and delicious colors. Do you love them or what? And yeah, maybe oversized clutches aren't the most practical thing you could carry, but who said fashion was practical?



And yeah, they're super bright despite it being almost fall, but you can wear them with anything, ie, your fall/winter wardrobe...kinda like this, only imagine a far better example.

Some of my wants/needs/lusts, but also, unfortunately my can't-haves. :[ Boo being a poor highschooler with nary a job in sight.
