Me Talk Pretty One Day - David Sedaris

Lazy Saturday;

Hmm, not much happened today. I went to The Cheesecake Factory (amazing food - I love the fried macaroni balls), the mall, and Target. I'm currently broke so I didn't buy ANYTHING, there's always next time though.

*I wore my shirt untucked while I was out but I saw the belt at home and figured I'd try tucking in*

light wash dollhouse denim shorts: kohls

Hey There :)

Hello, hello, hello. I know I've been a terrible blogger lately but July & August have been super hectic. Between work, shopping, reading, and trying to make time with friends/family, updating hasn't been one of my top priorities! I'm back now though, and that's all that matters, emirite?

Although I've been gone, I have been keeping up with outfit pictures even though I generally haven't been wearing anything substantial - my work uniform consisted of my 'staff' tee shirt, shorts, sandals, and assorted accessories. For example, my outfit for the last day of work:


work tee shirt: from the boss
black nike dry-fit spandex: dick's sporting goods
black patent sandals: target
pink & white animal print scarf (tied into a bow): banana republic
stack of bracelets: grandpa
heart pendant necklace: forever 21
large gold hoop earrings: claire's
flat-top shades: wetseal

The last day we had a pirate themed carnival so I figured wearing hoop earrings and a scarf would be appropriate. On a whim, I tied the scarf off into a bow and it turned out looking really great. It's cute but not too "cutesy" if you know what I mean.

Next up is one outfit worn in 3 different situations. I'm usually not one to do that but I just love this particular outfit THAT much.

UNO.

TRES.

* A day in the city with Grandma - included "Models As A Muse" exhibit at The MET, walking through Central Park & various other parts of the Upper West Side, eating at Saigon Grill (90th & Amsterdam on the Upper West Side, check it!), and taking a nap before Mommy Dearest came & got me. *

Finally, I have yesterday's & today's outfits. Sunday I went into Queens to see my cousins and take my younger brother back home to Dirty Jerz; the day was hot but relaxing. Today was my first of four days of SAT Prep. The classes themselves aren't bad; I wasn't all to thrilled to be back at school just yet.

Yesterday:

white v-neck: american apparel

denim shorts: kohls

gold gladiators *new, no pictures yet*: marshall's

black printed scarf (tied in a bow): mother

gold & black medallion necklace: forever 21

large gold hoop earrings: claire's

Today:

black & white buffalo plaid shirt: old navy

black under armour shorts: dick's sporting goods

gold gladiators: marshall's

stack of bracelets: grandpa

gold & black medallion necklace: forever 21

large gold hoop earrings: claire's

Look Ma, No Glasses!

I finally got contacts! What do you think?

And those are the shades that I will now be wearing ALL summer.

bookWORM.

black zipper blazer: grandma
"the love makes peace" tee: forever 21
purple+gold+teal+black silk scarf: mommy
bracelets: grandma & grandpa
colored bauble ring: museum
black leggings: no idea
black patent sandals: target

That's the outfit I wore for last night's Target + Barnes&Nobles run. I found all these great clothes at Target. My favorite pieces being a printed strapless maxi dress that wasn't too long for me, and these draped pencil skirts. I ended up getting a pair of blue sandals for work though. They're hawt.

Afterwards, I spent about 2 hours in Barnes&Nobles trying to find my summer reading books, and just plain browsing. I ended up only getting Ordinary People by Judith Guest. I read it within 3 hours, beginning as soon as I got home and it was amazing; probably one of the best things I've read in a long time. So now I have 5 more books to read; 2 for apus & 3 for ap writing.

Oh yeah, I start work on Monday. I'm a camp counselor for the 2nd year in a row. It should be fun but mad tiring; I'll be working 9-6 for 5 days a week for the next 8 weeks. Excited? Mostly, I guess.

Not Much to Do, Not Much to Say.

Just today's outfit, really that's all.





black tunic: target
printed headscarf: mommy
gold heart pendant: forever 21
denim cutoffs (cut them myself): hollister co
colored bauble ring: some museum
bracelets: grandparents
sunglasses: wetseal

I'm not really doing much today. Just dropping off my job application and going to Barnes & Nobles to pick up summer reading. The rest of the weekend should be much more eventful though. I have my first All State choir practice tomorrow and after that I'm going down to my friend Kim's shore house for the rest of the weekend. I can't wait!
