Welcome Welcome

I wore this yesterday to have lunch with Holly. We ate at a Mexican restaurant that I had never been to. Oh was it delicious. Maybe it'll become a new favorite of mine... We also went shopping (what's new??). Too many good things are to be found at Marshall's right now. That place is seriously dangerous.

And hey hey hey! This guys is home now. 

What a dream boat. 

Awful/Awesome

This past week:

Awful: 

-Not being able to sleep when Ryan was out of town. I'm such a baby. 

-Ryan's car is dead. This probably means that we'll reserve the money we have saved up for a trip for a new car instead.

-Cockroaches  

-Washing my undies in the sink because I forgot to do laundry 

Awesome: 

-Tip money! 

-We had a "service auction" for church (an auction used with points rather than money) and the thing I offered, a free family photo shoot, got some pretty high bids! I wasn't there, because I totally forgot about it, but it's nice to hear that a lot of people want a photo shoot from me. Perhaps this will be a great business opportunity to get more clients. 

-Speaking of family photo shoots, I've got photos of a cute little family to edit :) 

-Going to a wedding reception where hats and gloves were encouraged 

dress & belt: thrifted, shoes: Payless

This dress happens to be one of those dresses that you might be unsure of at first, but then when you try it on, it's magic. Never underestimate an article of clothing you've never tried on. 

Final Photo Project

If you could name this collection of photos, what would you name it? 

This is a legit question.

I'm having trouble coming up with a title for these... 

Some More Vintage

Here's what I wore on Sunday. 

The golds and greens of this dress make me smile. 

Yup.

I don't really know what else to say...

dress, shoes, brooch: vintage

cardigan, pearls: gift

tights: Target

Life has gotten pretty busy. We're at that time when it's getting closer and closer to midterms, although it doesn't seems like it. I'm trying to save up some dough to make a trip to Utah this summer. I've never been, can you believe it? If you're a fellow mormon, then you can't. It will be nice, going up there, seeing my brother in law and the new baby, an online friend, and possibly shooting a wedding? We'll see. 

Wish me luck as I struggle to save and shop less <3 

A Floral Dress

I was very excited to find this dress at the antique shop we went to in Las Vegas, NM. There are a couple of other items I bought that I'll try to wear this week. I got into trouble at that vintage shop... I've promised myself that I won't spend money on clothes for at least three weeks because of it. Eeks. 

dress, brooch: vintage

cardigan: Forever 21

tights, shoes, glasses: Target

hat: gift

bag: PacSun (on sale) 

Look at Them Boots

Every time I wear these boots Ryan sings that song "She's gone Country." I don't know if that's the correct title... And I hadn't even heard of that song before he started singing it. Regardless, the song has been in my head all day. Nice. I'm actually not a big fan of country music, unless you count Johnny Cash and Taylor Swift. 

dress, boots, belt: thrifted

cardigan: Down East Basics

leggings: gift 

So school has proven to be expensive (as always). I've had to buy Photoshop and photo paper and text books and copper plates (for printmaking). A 7"x10" sheet of copper is $18. Ugh. Thank goodness for Financial Aid money and my scholarship and really nice family members who love to help us out. And I'll soon be thanking our tax return check. Gotta get on that. 

You don't have to be a cowgirl to wear cowboy boots, do you?
