Purchases from le weekend

Whitney and I went to the Maplewood Mall this weekend and I got a bunch of crap. Well, not that much. But, it was much MONEY!!
We got matching gloves. In the past, we have gotten so much matching stuff to honor our friendship (cheesy, I know, but we're dorks): key chains, necklaces, bracelets, you name it. We got our gloves at Claire's, which is a middle schooler store, but it's for me because there's SO MUCH COLOR. They're rainbow, which is cool, because it's colorful of course, and it can honor gay rights (and sonic rainbooms). Whitney was hesitant, because she didn't want people to make fun of that, but I told her that was ridiculous and so we got them. We were both wearing them today and it was rad. This para came over while we were at lunch and started fawning all over them and I felt proud...and annoyed at the same time! This is a transition week for me; I'm going from edgy rock to raver wannabe, so this is my week to blend. It's kinda difficult, but I'm up for a challenge!!!

I think they were about $6.50 with tax. Worth it; I wuv them!!

Silverbelle

Told ya I'd get a picture up!

Me and Whitney

I found it!!!

My mom and I went to the Maplewood Mall today to look at dresses for Silverbelle, and I finally found one at Deb! It was a good deal as well! On clearance for less than $30! Score!

(Cue dramatic music)

Isn't it fab?? I wanted something with sparkle, but not too girly. This is a little frilly, but not so much as some of the other numbers I saw...woof. 

Anyway, I hope this looks unique enough and maybe I'll be the belle of the ball--or in this case, the belle of the belle! Deb is such a good place to get dresses, since they're all great and so inexpensive. Rachel told me about it, and it was really our last hope since everywhere else didn't have things that really appealed to me (I was pretty picky!!).

This weekend I'll have a picture up of me in this--and some fabulous accessories. I have just the shoes for this as well, so I'm good to go!

Update

Arghh, I KNOW I haven't posted in a while!! My style keeps changing...and I know that sounds like a reason to post MORE, I've just been really busy with homework and junk. Or maybe I'm just making up excuses.

But anyway that's not the POINT. The point is, there's a school dance coming up on the 16th and I'm going. My first high school dance!! It's at a fancy hotel downtown and there's appetizers and desserts and dancing and stuff. I'm so excited! It'll feel like being treated like a queen!
Anyway (again), my mom and I are going dress shopping on Thursday. My style has changing too many times since I've last posted, so I'm not doing seasonal, coordinated stuff anymore. Well, I guess it's still coordinated. I've taken on an edgy look with Prince makeup and messy hair. It sounds dreadful, but I think I made it look okay. So I want a dress that has sparkle, but not frilly or girly. NOT pink. Not that I would anyway. My skating outfit was pink AND sparkly, and I think I've had enough for a while.

But I will definitely post a photo of my outfit when I get it. Hope it's good!

Sorry again!

Thanksgiving trip sturff

There was this really stupid turkey hat that my dad's sister and her family brought to Celo with us when we went. Actually, it's not stupid...it's pretty rad, actually. I don't think I ever found out who it really belonged to!! Some people ended up with it on their heads. So silly!!

My aunt

Meee looking like a boss

New things

Two weeks ago my mom and I took a small trip to Savers just to browse. Of course, I ended up getting a few things! Just 2 tops and a pair of shoes. I wore one of the tops on Monday (I really should have posted...oh well), and I wore the other one and the shoes today. I also should not have worn them both at once! That is a complete no-no for me!! You shouldn't just wear every new thing you buy all at once!! That makes you look poor!

It's not really a 'top'...I just say that to everything worn above the belt, really! Wearing this shade of purple is kind of Easter-y, so you need to pair it with certain shades to make it season-appropriate. I thought of darker colors, which made me instantly think dark dark blue (a very navy color with a bit of a wild one can be VERY stylish). So I took some stripes and it was very good. I thought of a scarf, which I replaced with a necklace, to get a more sophisticated look.

Look at these beauties! They were about $5! I tried them on at the store and could NOT leave without them! With my petite feet it is hard to find nice shoes in my size. So these were really good! It was very rainy today, so it was not a good idea to wear them, especially the first time wearing them. But they were just so cute with the rest of the outfit, and I didn't want to just do plain black flats like I usually do. And now that they're broken in they'll be cozy the next time I do wear them.

Tomorrow, for my 'Building my Future' class, we're taking a field trip to H.B. Fuller to meet with our mentors we've been e-mailing. We have to wear something nice to make a good impression. I try to dress nice every day, so it shouldn't be hard at all. I was thinking of something stylish, but original; comfy, but classy; a bit professional, but not boring. I was planning on something with a scarf...maybe on top of a darker, autumn-y top. I don't wear skirts often, but maybe I'll wear one tomorrow. Hmm. I might post results so stay tuned!

New ;)

So last Thursday evening, my mom and I went out and got me a whole new autumn wardrobe! My closets and drawers were so FULL of summer things and I only had about two or three long-sleeved shirts from last autumn. So I'm well stocked! Today was a bit cool, and I went a bit overboard and wrapped myself in a warm turtleneck to start out the week. But it was pretty chilly inside the school, and it did help. So yay!

Gray and black were the base, and I mixed in a little hot pink for a wild, punk-ish look. It worked out quite nicely and looked very hip!

I don't know if I've shown these shoes on here before! I got them when I went to Kentucky to visit my grandparents. I had been wanting them like crazy for several weeks since I saw them at Target, and I mentioned that to them. On the last week I was there, we all went to Target to look for them. Actually we were planning on going to several in case one of the Targets ran out. But I found them at the first one we visited! So I took them to the checkout and was all ready to pay, but just as I was about to give my cash to the lady, my GrandMary swiped her credit card before I could do it!! 'Pulled a fast one on her,' she said later. I was so surprised and a little confused. They spoil me to death!! So I wore these today because they went so well with the rest of the outfit. Gahhh I love them so!!

It's the first day of October and there are so many leaves everywhere! I really like October; it's where everything cools off, but not too much (usually). And Halloween! Haha. 

When my mom and I went shopping I chose a lot of dark brown things. It's a fabulous fall color--especially when you can pair it with something nice (I suggest dark yellow and/or orange). Tomorrow maybe I'll do something brown. But I shouldn't wear all the new things at once (makes you look like you were desperate to get new things because you're poor...hehe). I'll spread everything out somehow.

Happy October!
