Batonga 30 Day Dress Challenge: Day Twenty



the dress: as shirt // skirt: mother's closet // green scarf/shoes: forever 21 // red scarf/daisy hairclip: diy // earrings: noble town vintage








What a dreary day this has been. It's the first of many rainy days. Usually I like the rain and will even take advantage of using it for some awesome photo ideas (if I get models that are willing to get cold and wet) but today it has not been welcome. Hopefully tomorrow won't be so cold and rainy.

As always, please donate to the Batonga Foundation to help a girl in Africa receive a full education.

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!
