Outfit: new hairs

 shirt: ransom  skirt: buffalo  shoes: unionbay

So... I dyed my hair. I was getting really tired of everything in my life being dyed purple: my skin, my clothes, my keyboard,  even my car steering wheel. My hair was also getting pretty damaged from all the bleach and the infrequent washing to try to keep the color from fading. I wanted to dye it a bright red, but it ended up a bit darker and more brown than I wanted. I'm getting used to it now, and it's definitely nice to be able to wash my hair everyday and not worry about getting purple all over the place.

Outfit: stripes and velvet

Lately I just want to wear black/white-striped pieces of clothing paired with all black. I think I have at least one of every type of article of clothing with horizontal black/white stripes. It's just a classic and comfortable combination to me! And this plush velvet skirt fits in with my love of all things soft and fuzzy, like the carpet I'm standing on, and the blankets and pillows behind me!

Outfit: summer stripes

dress: Target  vest: diy  shoes: Nordstrom Rack

Guysssss, this vest is my new favorite piece of clothing. It's so easy to just throw on over any outfit, and perfect for summer fun times. The vest was originally pastel pink when I bought it. I dyed it with purple Rit, added some pastel pink studs, and attached some cute patches to it, and now I'm absolutely in love with it.

This was a fun outfit I wore the other day. I picked both the cardigan and skirt up from Plato's closet this week, so they were pretty cheap! The cardigan is so sparklyyyy in person. It makes me happy.

Life has been pretty busy lately. Mister Andrew and I have been rearranging and reorganizing our apartment. We tackled the office this week, which was quite the project. I now have my computer desk right under the window, so I can soak up more sunlight. Tomorrow, we're headed to Ikea and Target to buy some new goodies, like towels and sheets. Because apparently adults replace those every now and then? and we're adults?? Something like that.

Other than that, my 24th birthday is coming up on Monday! I'm having a party, but I scheduled it a couple weeks out, since I have midterms and other stuffs going on this next week. My party is going to be space/future/sci-fi themed and I'm turning my apartment into a space ship! I'm really looking forward to it.

I also just started planning a eurotrip with my friend Steph. There's much planning and plotting to be done, and I'm so very very excited about it! If anyone has ever visited Europe, and has tips on how to do so cheaply, or where to stay/visit, I'm all ears!

 

Outfit: Alaska

I sewed some white ribbon on the back of my favorite jacket to make it more sailor-y!

dress: Forever 21    cardigan: thrifted    leggings: H&M     boots: Sheikh     belt: mom's
   lady tie: Flapper Girl

These pictures were taken in my parent's yard in Wasilla, Alaska. Notice the lack of snow! That's a pretty weird occurrence for this time of year. During most of my visit, it was actually colder here in Portland, Oregon than it was in Alaska! Luckily, on the day before I left, it started dumping snow, and all was right again. It was really great getting to spend some time with my family and friends. I'll show you guys some more Alaska pictures later.

Here's me trying to get Bowser the Schnauzer to take a picture with me. He didn't really feel like looking at the camera!

Outfit: it’s cold and I have a cold.

A ring featuring my spirit animal.

This is obviously the best rug in the world.

Well, it definitely feels like winter here. It's "I can see my breath" cold out there and there's a wicked cold/flu making the rounds. I've been sick for about a week, but it's starting to go away. Somehow, I have the next four days off work, and I am so happy about that. I'm going to chillax hard and hopefully get lots of lovely jewelry made up for the shop. Christmas is coming!

This is how I really feel right now. BLECH!

Outfit: dreary days and bright colors

sweater: Dolled Up
tank: Old Navy
skirt: Forever 21
leggings: H&M
boots: thrifted

For some reason, when it starts raining, I want to wear all my comfiest black clothing. So I fought that urge, and instead reached for all my brightest comfy clothes. I love that this sweater shines and glitters depending on the light. And of course, my hair matches my outfit.
