denim on denim

I normally hate denim on denim. This outfit took some getting used to, but it was unbelievably comfortable for jeans. I was coming back from Bemidji and needed a shirt that billowed to allow ravenous snackage.

beautiful beautiful day

Today was so beautiful that I didn't even need a coat! I'm sitting in Caribou right now about to do my homework. Fortunately, I don't have too much, but I need more people for pictures. My panel review for my senior project is the beginning of next month! Crazy to think that graduation is so close! Speaking of which, I need to order a tea and buckle down on homework.

red coat

this is my beautiful red coat that I got from H&M. One of my more spendy pieces, but so worth it. I need to learn to do that more. I love that it is so nice that I can wear this. Amazing, don't even need my transition coat. :)

i am demanding spring

I woke up at 8:30 this morning. Don't judge. For me, that's early. I would rather stay up until four in the morning, than get up at 7. But lately, I have realized that I am getting old. This super senior is slowly ridding herself of all-nighters....Well, since I was up 'early,' I was able to work out, shower and have a good attitude for the day. Thus, the crazy pose. I should get a normal sleeping schedule one of these days. Well in 2.5 months I will be graduating, so that should help :)

And yes, my elbows over-extend.

You should see what my thumbs can do.

new jeans!

Well, not really. When I flew back to school after Christmas break, my luggage weighed too much [surprise, surprise], so I had to leave these jeans back home. They came in the mail yesterday, and I was quite overjoyed to have more of my essential wardrobe back in custody.

Can you tell I'm wearing knee socks with my jeans? I think it's an ingenious idea. Keeps me so much warmer. I actually wore this outfit with a gray sleeveless sweater. [layering is my fave]

Resurrection

Sorry for the absence. I pretty much died from this sickness that has spread all over campus. That, and who dresses up during snow days? That's right, I said days, as in plural. I've had three days off school. Well, technically I skipped a class because I was feeling sick on Tuesday, but I digress. First day this week I really felt pretty. [oops]

Well, I'm not wearing shoes yet, but I'll probably wear converse. Thus, you only get a headshot today. Besides, I need to go eat.

sick

I'm sick today. Nothing major, just my throat. But it's annoying. This morning it hurt to just breathe. And seeing as how I tend to breathe quite frequently, like...every second of every day that was rather irritating. Thus, no smile from megan today.

Roll Me Up

I decided to put my hair up today. I stole Christa's idea for today. It didn't look nearly as nice as hers, but I still like it. Not looking forward to the midwestern chills, and the requirement of a winter hat. Anyway, I discovered the absolute best way to see a 360 view of your hair! Open PhotoBooth [or whatever the camera is on pc's] and go to video. Voila! 360 degree mirror :)

And yes, you are given the wonderful opportunity to listen to seven seconds of the Kooks.

feelin' nautical

This is the shirt I got for 5 bucks at Penney's. Sah-weeet. Despite having a shower, I didn't feel like wearing a skirt today. This shirt would probably look really weird with a skirt, and I really like wearing new clothes. That is my reasoning [COUGH excuse COUGH].

lazy day

I wanted to be extremely comfy today. I have the greatest inspiration.

diamonds or no debt?

Today was quite a bit nicer, high of 22--WOOT! Weird how our concept of temperature gets warped through the seasons. I have this awesome necklace. A suitcase and bejeweled camera. Yeah, those are diamonds. [yeah right. If I had diamonds I would sell them to pay off school loans.] I felt fat today, so no high waisted skirt. Comfy jeans that look like dress pants instead [I am so incredibly sneaky...or just lazy] Cafeteria food is not conducive to a well-balanced diet.

My shirt has pockets!! Sorry for that random outburst, but pockets make me happy.

Doesn't my hair look much better today? I washed it. It's really easy, but sometimes I'm too busy. [Gross, I know.]

I wonder if God got stressed when He made the world [i worry over bread]

Some days....I just do not look cute. Like days when I make bread from scratch. But I still like to think that in a way this displays Classic Femininity. Since I was, you know, classily making bread. [yes, it is quite possible that I am deranged] How do you make bread in a classy way? With flour in your hair of course. There is a reason you can't see my face. Actually, by this time, I had un-bobby pinned my bangs and look somewhat normal.

totally cheating

I hope someone reads this blog. Because, well, frankly, I find myself kind of hilarious. [i pretend in order to bring my own ego some happiness] I am totally cheating today, I wore this to my second cousin's birthday party, we went bowling! [he is six and absolutely adorable] So yes, this is the SAME sweater, but it's the same day, and I was feeling lazy [i.e. I could not even pick out new clothes for myself]. There is absolutely no guarantee of posting cute clothes over Christmas break because, well, I clean and lounge around all day--not much to doll up for. Which, I know, is just a pitiful excuse.

I've been getting kind of bored of posing, so I decided to jump, but Steve [my handsome 13" macbook pro] doesn't like capturing motion without the effect of looking like a ghost. Alas, only two of the four turned out.

This shirt is beyond comfortable. I want to try to make it, I think it would be pretty easy, just two pieces of fabric.

After I let my hair air-dry, it gets very curly, which i love, but the next day it is huge and if I brush it, very frizzy. So the day after, I usually just put it up in a pony and bobby-pin it. Since my hair is short enough, I can take the extra bit of hair from the pony tail, take a bobby-pin and put that up too. Looks like I actually took time to do my hair, but super easy =) .....i just have 20,833 bobby pins in my hair at the end of the day.
