finding your passions

dress: borrowed // tights/hat/cardigan: forever 21 // shoes: target




Hooray, it's the last day of school for the week! Our school's "fall break" was getting Friday off, but hey, I'll take whatever I can get. Thursday is my easy day anyways; I have fitness and ceramics in the morning and then I'm done. I really do love my schedule that I have, except I definitely could have taken one or two more classes this semester. I keep telling myself that it was a good idea to take first semester easy, but I have been thinking* about double majoring in English and Studio Art (with concentrations in Creative Writing and Photography), so the stress of getting two majors in plus my gen-eds has been on the back of my mind. *and by thinking I mean I am going to do this.* I just have to sit myself down and map out the next four years, which is a stressful task in of itself, especially because there are so many classes I want to take.




College really has great opportunities. In high school I never even had the chance to take a ceramics class and now I want to throw pots and plates and bowls for the rest of my life (so my future husband should keep in mind that I really want a throwing wheel in our house). Same with my scene shop job. Now all I want for Christmas is my very own tool kit, complete with power drills and saws and all kinds of stuff. I can't wait to see what other passions I find in college.




I hope you have an awesome day!

I don't really like this. I know I can do a lot better with my photos but something isn't clicking right and I am making no progress. But hopefully this weekend I can actually schedule 365 photoshoots and get all the ideas that I sketch down in front of a camera.

Other than that, today was great. I got to go to the ceramics lab and work on a plate that I'm making for myself. I really hope it turns out nicely because I actually like the direction it's going. I can't wait to show you guys!

rainy days

One thing I have never liked in the clothing world is the rain boot. Having small feet, I don't really like wearing shoes that make my feet look giant. Plus I have never seen incredibly cute rain boots. But my friend Jenna has these bright pink pair and they are the closest things to cute rain boots I've ever seen. I still don't think they look incredibly awesome on me (even though the heel does make me taller--score!), but they are kind of fun to wear anyways.




This is definitely one of my favorite outfits so far though. I can finally check mark my list saying that I've successfully mastered the belted sweater look that always circulates around pinterest from Ordinary People. Even though the polka dot shirt isn't a sweater ... it's the thought that counts, right?




I am so glad the weather is starting to cool and I can finally break out my fun sweaters and cardigans and tights again. I hope you guys have a great day!

look how they shine for you

This is my friend Taylor. :) We were going to do a different concept for today, but it ended up being too dark before I finished with the prop, so we opted to try some night photos. I've never really done night shots before and still don't really know if I succeeded, but it was still a fun learning experience.
