Beret

I got a new hat! =) Mom and I went shopping in Fargo today. Lots of good deals. But shopping is EXHAUSTING. Anyway, bought some stuff I normally wouldn't. Like boyfriend skinny jeans, a vest, and a tie (mom's idea actually :) I love when guys wear ties, so until it becomes a normal habit for them, I'll just bring it back for them ;) I found an amazing skirt at Talbot's. [drools] If I could afford Talbot's, I would be always buying from that store. It's so tailored, has fun materials and patterns. And very 40's inspired.

beret: Target
tie: Kohl's
vest: New York & Co.

Feelin 50's

I wasn't able to get full length pictures because my family had gone camping for the weekend (I helped with a wedding on Saturday) and my full length mirror at home has a huge crack in it. The dress is a bit too short, so I wore a white skirt underneath it. I never would have thought of it on my own. I think I got the idea from Rachel at alamodest. Fabulous blog :) I put my hair up in a high ponytail and tied a black ribbon in it. I also had a white sweater, but it was hot after church so I had taken it off by the time I took pictures. oops

Ring

It's interesting how your own likes change over the years. I used to hate the idea of rings. Probably due to the fact that I lost the first real ring I got. Mom found it on the floor, in the toilet paper plastic. Oops. After that, I was convinced that I would have a necklace instead of an engagement ring. Well, that's a different story.

So this is my cocktail ring. I'll put it to good use with all those cocktails that I consume. ;) Now that I think about it, it's been awhile since I had some fruit cocktail.

Ring: Target

C'est la mode.

Have you ever listened to the French language? I find it fascinating. My mom and I decided that we will definitely be teaching ourselves French this summer. I am quite excited. I remember in Breakfast at Tiffany's, they taught Audrey Hepburn's character French, so that she would be classy and sophisticated. Well, I am incredibly excited about learning [even if just a little] French. I would one day love to go to Paris. Hm. Maybe one day when mom and I are fluent.......

That's the fashion.

This n That

This necklace has all my random things I don't know what to do with. A guitar pick on my dorm floor? An old college Id? A safety pin? A zipper? I think so. Probably my favorite necklace.

Green shirt....

gets worn too much I guess. Last THREE posts. Oops. But it's my only somewhat full-length new picture I have. Thought it would be good to get a new post up before a month passes of a postless blog :( Epic fail.

This picture was taken because it was my first image hung in a gallery. It was at the student exhibition at my school. Judson University, Elgin, Illinois.

Shirt: Target/Thrifted
