Outfit: Tiki Party in Space

dress: thrifted Forever 21  belt: Forever 21  tights: ebay  shoes: Miss Bisou

Yesterday I dressed up for an impromptu "tiki party in space", complete with pulled pork burritos, rum and juice, and a hilarious game of Cards Against Humanity. It's been really nice not having to worry about homework, twenty-page research papers, and four hour long classes; just relaxing and hanging out with friends. I plan on enjoying this summer break as much as humanly possible!

It's finally getting nice and sunny here in Portland. We've been having glorious, beautiful, warm sunshiney days, which makes me oh-so-happy. I could be having the worst day ever, but if it's sunny and bright outside, it's an instant mood-improver.

Outfit: symmetry

shirt: Arizona   jeans: Target

Well, I definitely couldn't resist buying this symmetrical shirt. I only wish the orange side was blue, then it would be absolutely perfect! You can tell from this outfit that I desperately needed to do laundry because I'm wearing blue jeans. Anytime I wear pants, I feel uncomfortable and restricted. SKIRTS AND DRESSES FOREVERRRRR. They just feel so much comfier to me.

Apologies if I haven't been posting as much here in recent times. This is my first term in the School of Business at PSU, and the amount of homework is absolutely ridiculous. I'm only taking two classes currently,  but the work load is pretty intense. Balancing that out with work and hanging out with my amazing friends leaves a little bit less time for blogging and etsy. It's okay though, I'm happy being a busy person! I'll take busy over bored any day of the week. 

Outfit: Pigtail Buns

shirt: Ransom   skirt: Kirra   shoes: Not Rated

My tripod recently broke, so I've had to go back to the days of old where I would prop my camera up on random objects trying to get the right angle or height. So if you're wondering why these pictures are taken in three different spots of my house, that would be why!

This skirt is the comfiest thing in the world and I would wear it every single day if I could. It's soft and slightly sheer and I love it.  I've been trying to do pigtail buns after seeing them on Chaplinn of Mini Penny, but I think mine end up looking like Princess Leia got a bit drunk and couldn't get her hair quite right. Alas, I'll keep practicing.

If you believe from these pictures that spring has arrived in Oregon, and that it's suitable weather for a short-sleeved lace shirt, then you have been fooled I still had to throw on a hoodie before I left the house. I wish it would just start being warm and sunny already! Curses!

These clay versions of myself and Andrew were made by my friend, Megan, a couple months ago. I love the little details, like my winged eyeliner and the antenna on Andrew's hat!

My new favorite wine glass is iridescent. Thanks, Goodwill!

Treat Yo Self

dress: Target  cardigan: Frenchi  tights: Target  shoes: Anarchic

I bought this dress last week on a "Treat Yo Self" day. If you watch the show Parks and Recreation, you probably know what I'm talking about. If you don't watch the show Parks and Recreation, you're missing out and you should probably go watch it right now. Basically, there's an episode where Tom and Donna have an annual "Treat Yo Self" day, where you indulge and pamper yourself and do whatever makes you happy, whether that means new clothes, massages, mimosas, or a Batman costume.
 Between finals, a two-week long cold, followed by a week of migraines, followed by an allergic reaction to new antibiotics (wheee!), it's been a rough month for me. It was really therapeutic to treat my self, and do what made me happy for a day. I really believe in self-care and paying attention to the little things that make you happy.

Little things about this outfit that make me happy: comfy new lace dress, glittery eyeshadow, wearing multiple shades of my favorite color, and my messy colorful hair.

Outfit: monochrome

sweater: Forever 21  skirt: White House Black Market   socks: Target   shoes: Anarchic

I'm finally coming out of my icky sickness haze. It has been nice to stay home and get some stuff done, I've been adding some new brooches to the etsy shop, and there's lots more to be listed still!
