Batonga 30 Day Dress Challenge: Day Five

dress: as dress // shirt: c/o sugarlips // tights: forever 21



As I type this I'm at Matt's house, but it has already been such a busy day. This morning I went to my friend's bridal shower, but not before rushing to Michael's, having a clothing conversation with a fine gentleman, and wrapping said present all being on time with one minute to spare.




And later today Matt and I are going to my friend's surprise birthday party. We're going to watch the Avengers!! I'm super excited!




I recently (as in, last night) tried out Kaylah's idea (well it wasn't her idea, but she's where I got it from) to use tape on my nails! I like it for the most part, except it's already coming off. But that could be the fact that I don't have any good clear coat. I will definitely be trying this out again though!



There was a very slow bicyclist riding down the street while I look these photos. Hence standing in front of the camera suddenly became awkward. :)

Batonga 30 Day Dress Challenge: Day Four

the dress: as shirt // pants: forever 21 // cardigan: friend // belt: thrifted // jewelry: grandma/friend






This project is already forcing me outside of my comfort zone. Not only am I mixing prints I wouldn't normally mix, but it's completely recreating the way I look at clothing. Who would have thought to wear a maxi dress as a shirt? Okay maybe that idea isn't that original, but I definitely have yet to master the art of pinning clothes to make them shorter.

Sorry I didn't upload yesterday's photo on time, I was getting slightly stressed with schoolwork and ended up being really tired before I usually get tired, so I opted to go to sleep instead of stay up and upload. :)

Batonga 30 Day Dress Challenge: Day 3

dress: worn as a dress, pinned short // red dress: mom's closet // belt: target // cupcake socks: from a friend // shoes: thrifted



Today was such a lovely picture taking day! Besides hiding from the mail lady and bicyclists and worrying about stepping in moose poop and nearly freezing my fingers, it was a very enjoyable time. Sometimes I go outside with no ideas and no particular location (okay, that's like 99% of the time), and sometimes I just have a blast. There's just something about photography and being in nature that is so therapeutic and aaah! it's just awesome. But it started snowing ... come on Alaska! It's May. You're not really funny any more. Thankfully it was just a few flakes. Quit scaring me like that, Alaska.




Aah only six days left of school! I can do this ... most of my classes are winding down but there is still the dreaded AP English tests. I think I'm more worried about our final than the actual AP test. It's going to be an oral test, and it's so hard (apparently) because my teacher gave us all the questions ... eek! So scary, haha. I'm ready to get it over with. Only a couple more days!




Check out how awesome these shoes are! They're from the thrift store that I talked about a couple days ago (the one where you could apply to be a kitty cuddler) and they were only a dollar! I'm thinking about painting them, but I'm not sure what color/design I should do. You guys have any suggestions?







As always, I'm wearing this purple dress every day for a month to support the Batonga Foundation, which provides girls in Africa a full education, which benefits their entire life. So please please donate and spread the word! Every little bit of money is helpful.

I want YOU to donate to the Batonga Foundation!

Have a great day everyone!
