we're all a little mad

shirt/dress (striped shirt): borrowed // suspenders: hot topic // jeans/shoes: target // necklace: Matt




This is by far one of my favorite outfits ever. It's like the perfect marriage between masculine and feminine, business and quirky. Masculine and business from the suspenders and straight-legged jean and heels, and feminine and quirky from the fun colors and collars. I felt like I was a walking party all day wearing this, and it was a fantastic feeling.




Yesterday I got to meet with my college advisor about classes next semester, and she made me not stressed, and inversely as excited for spring semester. I'm now taking 18 credits, but I'm finally getting to take a photography class! That means I'll get to work in the darkroom and actually learn techniques. I'm so excited for all the new opportunities I'll get to experience. Also, I'm feeling a lot better about double majoring. At first I thought it would be really hard to double major, but really it's easy to double major in English and Art. I am so glad I don't have to compromise the things I love to do just for the sake of classes and getting done with school in four years.





Hope you all have a marvelous day!

out of my element

day 310

I spent my free time exploring around town, walking through all the leaf-covered neighborhoods and taking pictures of possible photoshoot locations on my phone. Even if I didn't get a successful photo (i.e. this was not my original idea), the walk was perfect.

vest/jacket/dress: borrowed // scarf: gift // tights: forever 21 // shoes/shirt: thrifted




This is kind of an out there outfit for me. I don't know what it is, maybe all the weird proportions going on, but I was so comfy wearing this that I didn't really care. There's just something about snuggling up in a warm, fuzzy scarf that makes everything in life awesome.

Perhaps the vest wasn't necessary, but I really wanted to wear it because it reminded me of cowboys livin' it up on the prarie. It's so weird because while I was living in Alaska, everyone would call me Oklahoma girl, but now that I'm in Oregon everyone calls me Alaska girl. Well there's definitely Oklahoma blood in me. I always get excited about tornadoes (thanks to my mom) and am too excited to play the cow game on road trips. Some days I still pine for Mount Trashmore and thunderstorms and tornado sirens going off at noon, right on time.




The inevitable cowboy reference also reminds me of Matt because he loves cowboys. In fact, this upcoming summer we're planning to watch all the episodes of Firefly, Matt's favorite show, in which the main character is a cowboy figure in the future. I really love our tv dates together. Last year it was Mega64, Community, and Doctor Who, and this year it will be even more Doctor Who, Firefly, and Sherlock (which I'm hoping to get him hooked on).




I hope you have a super wonderful day today!

day 308

Long time no see. I've been pretty busy with school, but hope to get back into the swing of things soon. This was taken yesterday. My town has all sorts of crazy things set up like this giant ball made out of twigs that you can crawl into, and it was only by chance that I saw it in the distance.
