Portraits

I'm feelin' a bit uninspired to do an outfit post. I wore a new outfit combo (that I was very pleased with) this past Sunday, but forgot to take pictures. Maybe not forgot, but I felt a little embarrassed. Do any of you get a little shy about outfit posts? For me, I like to do 'em when I'm home alone. Just the tripod and I. But to get more successful shots, that involves a person behind the camera. I kinda wanna ask my husband to take some pictures for me, but I think he thinks the whole "outfit post blogs" are silly. Even so, I shouldn't be nervous about asking him. Maybe he'll catch on. Anyone else feel this way?

That aside, here are some promised portraits I did a couple of weeks ago.
My dear friend, Holly:

The lovely Morgan: 

 (Sometimes, Morgan looks a lot like Taylor Swift... neat.)

Don't steal my pics :) If you do, a reference would be nice. Just sayin'. Kay, thanks.

Floral

 Hola. I realized that I forgot to take pictures of the two recent art projects I turned in this past Tuesday. I'm pretty proud of both :) I can take a photo of the sculpture I made next week, but the drawing might have to wait for the end of this semester.

 I registered for classes today. Next semester sounds stressful. I wasn't able to sign up for a photography class. I think everyone got there before me. Bummer. Hopefully there'll be an availability once the semester starts.

Shirt: thrifted

Cardigan(?): Wet Seal (like 3 years ago)

"Shorts": Pacsun (like 3 years ago)

Shoes: Payless (again, probably 3 years ago)

Floral hair clip: Icing 

I decided to wear some clothes that I hadn't worn in ages. I was thinking of getting rid of this tan cardigan thing, but then I challenged myself to wear it today. I'm glad I did :) I need to be more adventurous with the clothing I already have.

Don't really have anything planned for the weekend. I always work Saturdays. Perhaps after work I'll ask Mr. Houpt on a date. Need more! 

Oh Noes!!!

No! I am very sad because I actually got a few comments on my last post :) but I accidentally DELETED them :( Cwap. I tried to fix it :( For those of you (if you're reading this) commented on my last post, thank you for doing so. You have restored my faith in blogging. I thought I was being ignored in the blogoshpere.

Been in love with this song lately. Enjoy!

This Weekend

Gotta get down on Friday. This past Friday, I had the privilege to do a music swap with my friend Sara. It's so nice getting new music once you've realized that you're burnt out on every song in your iTunes library. Refreshing. 

I've been meaning to blog all weekend, but found myself to be a very busy person. So here's Friday's outfit:

(Yeah, this picture was taken in the mirror... forgot to flip it while editing)

Shirt: Eisley!

Skirt: vintage (and altered)

Belt: thrifted

Shoes: thrifted (Old Navy)

Neckalce: gift <3

This weekend was an eventful one indeed! Along with watching General Conference, I ACTUALLY HUNG OUT WITH PEOPLE. I have been feeling a little friendless these days, being busy with school and work, and having an engaged best friend. My sister unexpectedly called me and we went out for sushi. I made a lot of tips the night before, so I convinced myself that I deserved to spend the money. It was nice to see her, especially since I recently found out that she and her fiance are moving in a couple of months. Her fiance, Jim, got a job. Like, a real, grown-up person job. With Nestle! So she'll be moving around quite a bit because of it. She has always lived in the same city as me... I'll miss her. 

Once conference was over, I had a double photo shoot. 

Holly 

 Oops. While I was uploading these, Blogger just notified me that I was out of storage space for photos? LAME. I'll look into buying some more later. I've got to continue with the art projects for now. Will upload other favorites of this shoot later. 

Muah. 

Thursday

Couldn't think of a clever title for this post. But anyway, here is the outfit I am currently wearing:

dress: thrifted (and altered) 

shirt: Threadless 

belt: thrifted

shoes: K Mart 

bow: local farmer's market

My hair is super long! And a bit scraggly at the ends. Need to have my hair trimmed. I get so nervous about that thought. I don't want the stylist to snip off too much, which they sometimes tend to do. 

Artwise: I was surprised last Tuesday in drawing class to find out that the skull drawing is due today, and the interaction drawing is due next Tuesday. Yay me? 

Not sure what other news there is to tell in Beverly-land. 

Oh wait, there is more. I have two photo-shoots booked :) One this Saturday with my bestie, Holly (she's graduating!), and one sometime next week with a girl who has a hilarious blog. Check it. 

Have a nice day. 

Drawing

Drawing with charcoal is a "fun" mess. I have finished my skull drawing for my Drawing III class. I must say, I think I'm learning a lot in this figure drawing class. I still haven't started the second drawing for this month... which is due on Thursday. I love being an art major. Anywho, I'm going to recreate this photo of my friend Mae and I for the next one:

Taken by my friend, Emilio 

It's going to be a challenge for sure.... 

And the finished piece (that's due at 4:00 today) : 

There are actually supposed to be three skulls in the drawing, but there wasn't really any more room to fit one. I was thinking of putting another one peeking behind the skull on the left, but I really like how the composition already looks, and I didn't want to risk it. I suppose I should have planned out the composition before starting. I'm nervous to hear what my teacher says about it. Oh well? :) 

More charcoal tonight! 

See ya. 

Yesterday

...was the last day of Spring Break. This break has been... not exactly the most exciting, with all the hours I put into work, but it wasn't the worst break either. I made sure that I still had fun. Now I've gotta get back into the groove of school and such. I'm excited for summer. I want to expand my photography business this summer. Maybe get an actual business license for it. Possibly.
Anyway, this is what I wore to church yesterday:

This photo is extremely blurry, but I think I like it. 

Dress: thrifted (Merona)

Tights: Target

Shoes: I honestly can't remember. Some place in California

Necklace: Splendid 

A lot of the pictures I took in this dress came out blurry. Don't know why. Hence, there are only a few pictures. 

G'bye!
