Batonga 30 Day Dress Challenge: Day Nineteen



the dress: as scarf // shirt/cardigan: thrifted // flower headband: diy



It was actually incredibly easy to turn this dress into a scarf. I was so surprised at how easy it was, I'm more than likely going to be wearing a lot of my dresses as scarves! All you do is just string the bottom of the dress through the arm holes and that's all! Such a perfect way to re-wear a dress with a fun print.

Today and yesterday have been pretty crazy. Matt has been doing a 48-hour film challenge so our group of crazy friends have been running around dressed up as vampires with movie cameras. Honestly, I don’t think there’s anything cooler than spending my summer running around dressed up as a vampire with cameras around me, staying up late, being stressed out, living off of adrenaline and mcdonalds, and creating awesome things with awesome people. That is the greatest thing ever. It's funny too because I realized as we were putting makeup on one of our actors that we are all drama kids ... we totally would be doing this sort of thing in our free time during the summer. We're awesome, don't even lie.




Please be sure to donate to the Batonga Foundation, which supports girls' schooling in Africa, which gives them not only a better education but a better way of life.

Batonga 30 Day Dress Challenge: Day Eighteen



the dress: as shirt // skirt: thrifted // scarf: from boyfriend // flower headband: diy



Greetings people of the morning. Who woulda thought I would even have a post up right at noon? Much less be awake at this time. Well Matt (my boyfriend) is about to begin a 48 hour film challenge and the kick off is just a few minutes away, so I had to be speedy quick and take morning photos before the insanity begins. I am super proud of him for doing this film challenge and I cannot wait to be a part of it!




This outfit made me kind of like this headband. I'm not too fond of giant things protruding from my head, but the daisies are kind of growing on me.




Well people are starting to come over, so I'd better head out, but in the meantime you can donate to the Batonga Foundation, which supports girls' education in Africa. It's already day eighteen in the challenge, so be sure to give today!

Have an awesome day everyone!

there's a fire inside



day 138

Not having photoshop is really stretching me to work more on using natural filters and color changers rather than saying, "Oh, I can just fix that in photoshop." I have to make sure everything is perfect because I can't fix it later in an editing program. I'm curious to see what I come up with in the few days I'll be without photoshop, and then I'm excited to see what new things I can do with new photoshop.


Batonga 30 Day Dress Challenge: Day Seventeen



the dress: as shirt // cardigan (dress): urban outfitters // shoes: forever 21 // shorts: target






What a lazy day this has been! I laid in bed until lunchtime, wandered around the house, wrote a million thank you cards for graduation presents, ate some food, all the lazy day things. I also worked on future blog posts and let me just say, it's going to be an exciting summer for Introvert's Introduction!

Today is day seventeen of the thirty day dress challenge. I'm doing this to raise awareness for the Batonga Foundation, which supports girls' education in Africa. You can donate by clicking on the button below!
