And I already planned my senior style

...at least for the beginning.

Sorry I haven't posted in forever. I'm at Dauphin Island Sea Labs now for a marine science course.

My styles went nutso. Literally. I couldn't stay with one style for more than a week at times!!!!!

I had a black week, which was basically wearing all black with my prom wrap. The last few weeks were basically color jeans, T-shirts and hoodies in a fashionable way.
Yeah, nearly a month of being a Freaky Diva did enough for me...and everybody. Whew. Bright colors and glitter for that long was enough to hypnotize...or at least cause headaches!!!!!!

Holy wow, do you realize I'm gonna be a frigging SENIOR this year??! Then I'm out!! No more high school!! Evah!!

But I think I know what my back-to-school senior style is going to be. It may change. Actually, I will certainly not be surprised if it does.
It's called Smiley Raccoon Eyes. I decided I want to stop dressing so girly all the time. There are times when I literally want to be a guy. Weird, right?
So I'm going to get a bunch of hoodies and color jeans and T-shirts and sweatshirts and wear lots of eyeliner. There's a group of people that sort of look like that at school; they listen to dubstep and always have their headphones around their necks and are total slackers! Some of them are really nice, though. Maybe I'll get into that group this year. Probably not.
The eyeliner is the 'raccoon eyes' part. But looking like that, I realize, can look pretty sketchy and like I'm mean, so I'm also going to smile a lot. I don't smile very often now. I really should. It won't be so much that I look creepy, but just a new natural look.
I'll also listen to music VERY MUCH. I asked for really good headphones for my birthday coming up, and hopefully I'll get them. My phones now have broken in half, but they still work if I tape them. Still, I'm tired of wearing my hat over them so they'll stay together. It just looks weird. I wish I had a different iPod instead of my dinky Shuffle, but those are expensive and I can only have so many things really. ;)
I was going to grow my hair out, but I've changed my mind. I always barely get to shoulder length before I get fed up and hack it all off again. I want to get a pixie cut, but leave 2 strands in front. And my bangs. I'm going for a punk hairstyle. I'm kinda nervous about how it will turn out, but I tested it in the mirror by just putting my hair back, and it looks okay. You really have to have the right shape face to pull it off. I hope I don't wimp out. I was going to cut it off several times in the past and I got wimpy.

This is what I'm going for. I know it's on a dude, but with any luck at all it will do me well.

Sears

I got 'Shop your Way' points at Sears, and I received 7 free dollars to spend online, so I bought myself a present.

It's a Miss Juli graphic mashup stretch top with 'rock' stuff all over it. It was on big sale for $2.99. I'm such a cheapskate. 

I need to pick it up from the Maplewood Mall when I get a confirmation email. 

Change o' Plans

Remember when I said I was gonna change my style to a raver wannabe? Well I changed my mind. You really can't PLAN who you're gonna be; you need to let your next style come to YOU. Thinking ahead is risky and it doesn't always follow through. Just let it happen.
So I'm going from my Rocker Chick With a Hint o' Goth to Little Rock Monster Superstar Diva. It's not that different, but it will be noticeable, that's fo sho.
I'm so obsessed with being different. Blending in, for me, is like poison. Back in middle school I wanted nothing more than to look like everyone else. But that's pretty natural, right? It's middle school! Now even the thought of looking like everyone else gives me the shivers. The students of my school are split into 2 groups: people who want to fit in, and the creatives. On the creative side, it's all about dying your hair and  looking different. It's almost like a competition. But it's funny, 'cause sometimes when they try to look different, they end up wearing the same things.
I'm on the creative side, of course. But I don't want to fit in with them, you know? I want to be more different than even them. Which is difficult. Which is why I need to keep switching styles (that, and I have too many ideas).
I have this spark that if I dress differently than everyone in school, I will be noticed. I WANT to be noticed. That's hard to believe because I'm shy, but that's only on the inside. I want my style to speak for itself. I say to myself every day, when I walk through the hallways, 'Look at you. You look better than anyone,' which sounds pretty self-centered, but it helps me stay confident. Which I REALLY need.
I guess whoever is reading this has no IDEA what my style names mean and work, so here's the criteria:

Rocker Chick With Hint o' Goth

I guess the title pretty much speaks for itself: a rock girl with some gothic aspects.

-Wear guitar pick necklace every day
-Mess up your hair (scrunch!)
-Cut parts of your clothes off for that 'edgy' look
-Thick eyeliner
-Dark red/purple lip stuff
-Try to wear boots as often as possible
-Fishnet glove
-Dark clothes
-Add some sparkle and you're good to go!








Little Rock Monster Superstar Diva

This goes by the style of Lady GaGa, sort of an edgy celebrity bitch look.

-Star necklace daily (superSTAR, get it? ho ho ho)
-Wear your shades EVERY time you go out (whether it's sunny or not)
-Keep your lipstick color bright but not light
-GIANT earrings (earring singular for me, 'cause I've only got one piercing)
-Lots and lots of sparkle!
-Crazy freaky eye makeup (like GaGa's); I'm serious, do NOT be afraid to go all out with it!
-Gloves daily (I have lots, so well stocked)
-Try NOT to keep your nails naked! Make those bitches glam!
-Wear hair 'extensions' to be colorful (I got mine at Claire's; they're just clip-ons)
-Wear bright colors; be OUTRAGEOUS!



I'm thinking back to the first semester, when I was wearing coordinated, seasonal clothes like a freaking teacher and it's hard to believe I really wanted to dress like that. Honestly, I'm looking back at the photos I took of me wearing them and I just about want to vomit looking at some of them. But that's me for you; I never stay with a certain style. I love variety. It's what I go by and I hate the same stuff over and over. It's a circumstance where I DO like change.
So when I come back from Spring Break I expect I'll be fully settled into my new look. The shades I have posted are my Don't Look at Me, Don't Talk to Me Diva glasses; I have a few other pairs but these are my favorites. I got them when my family and I went to Ormond Beach; they washed up on shore--I'm serious! My uncle said something like, 'Hey, Rosii would love these!' and I do. They're so rad.
Anyway, I hope this new style will get me some ATTENTION. It may be true that the look will be so outrageous that people might get a little uncomfortable to say anything to me, but I guess I will catch them staring or something. I hope my friends like it as well.

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!
