Change


When I first started this blog, I thought of it as a way so show off the items in my closet. I admit the clothes I have aren’t expensive and some of them aren’t the cutest things ever.  I was excited to show people what I have but I did not think of this blog as showing off my style. Sometimes my style showed through in what I was wearing but I would get dressed for the blog. I would choose an outfit to post it while I probably wouldn’t wear it out in public. Today was a half-day and I spent the entire day ‘cleaning’ up this blog and my closet. I deleted a ton of pictures and a few posts that I feel aren’t my style or something that I wouldn’t wear. Now I feel that all the post reflect on my personal style better and what I wear. Instead of this being a “look what I own’’ blog and I’m transforming it in to a “my style” blog.  But what made me suddenly come to this decision?

Well the other night I was procrastinating on homework by surfing the net. I stumbled across this blog What Would A Nerd Wear The girl who ran the blog said she was done and there won’t be any new post. That didn’t stop me reading her blog. I was looking through blog post after post and I noticed how wearable her style was and that I really liked it. I also noticed that she wears the same items of clothing all the time but just in different ways. She shows different ways to wear each item. It really got me thinking weather or not I would be able to make so many different outfits using the same clothes. I want my blog to look more like her blog. With what I wear just about everyday.

Anyway I continued reading until I can to this post.  What Would a Nerd Wear 30 for 30 it’s about choosing 30 items and only wearing those 30 items for the next 30 days. I was interested and eventually I found the girl’s blog whose idea it was to start to 30 for 30 challenge. Kendi Everyday The reason for this challenge it to get to know your wardrobe better and having more outfit ideas. I though this just what I need to do because to be honest I’m running out of outfits besides shirt and jeans. My fix for that problem is to go shopping but it never seems to help. Instead to going shopping I need to brainstorm outfit ideas. And use what I have instead of buying new stuff.  Today I took all the clothes I owned and I speared them all over my floor. Then I went through every single thing and decided weather or not it should stay in my wardrobe. I cleaned out over 30 items. That’s a pretty good amount of clothes for me to part with. My goal is to love every single thing I have in my closet and have multiple ways to wear each item. I want to try the 30 for 30-day challenge but if you read the rules of the Kendi Everyday you will realize that the rules are kind of strict.  You aren’t allowed to go shopping for those 30 days. (Which will be good for me) and coats and shoes and any other accessory count. If I do the challenge I will do my own form for it. Instead of doing 30 for 30 I might try 14 for 14 or something like that. What do you think of this idea? Let me know if you read this entire post and if you want to try the challenge too.

Blue and Black





Scarf: Kohls
Shirt: Thrift Store (Abercrombie)
Belt: TJ Maxx
Earrings: Claries
Tights: HM
Skirt: TJ Maxx
Coat: Tag Sale
Shoes: Riding Boots

It snowed last night and this morning was a delay. So I had some extra time to get dressed. This is what I ended up wearing to school. I noticed I’ve been wearing a lot of dark blue and black lately. I guess I really like those colors. Also I wear these shoes almost everyday. They are so comfortable I just can’t resist, they keep my feet dry and warm.  Of course I took off the coat once I got to school. I gotta say I really like this outfit and will probably wear it again. I wore these tights once before. The Heart Tights Hope you had a great day and stayed warm if it snowed like it did for me.

Happy Halloween


First off for the outfit I wore today:



Blazer: Good Will (Originally from Forever 21) Blazer in Fall Haul
Scarf: Old Navy
Shirt: Bobs
Jeans: Delias
 Bracelets: Craft Fair, Claires, and Delias

Today was a day off from school because some of the schools in my town were out of power. Tomorrow I’m going back though for a 2 day week then the weekend again. Luckily I made it through this storm without losing power at all. It ended up being a nice little (much needed) vacation. I hope everyone who wasn’t as lucky as my town are safe and are doing fine.  Today I hung out with friends. It was a nice relaxing day. I really love the days that you have nothing going on and no were to be so you can just chill. But then at night....


Then my Halloween Costume: 


I was a taco and my dog was a turtle.


I ended up going to Chipotle with the people above. We all dressed up in costumes to get the 2 dollar meal that Chipotle was offering. It was tons of fun. I was a cannibal because I was dressed as a taco and eating a taco.  The taco was pretty good. That was my first time going to Chipotle and I was pretty impressed. I’m picky when it comes to tacos so it was surprising that I liked it so much. The costume is homemade by the way. hope you had a happy/scary halloween.

Denim and Sweaters







Sweater: LL Bean
Denim shirt (underneath): Good Will
Jeans: Consignment Store
Bracelet: Clairs
Rings: Tag Sale
Shoes: Payless
Earrings: Claires 

So I have no school again tomorrow thanks to power outages at the school. Luckly my power didn’t go out though. This morning I decided to try something different than what I normally do. I layerd a sweater with a denim shirt. I gotta say I really love the look. And it’s really comfy too. I love denim shirts there are so many ways to wear them. 

For Whom The Southern Belle Tolls

Last weekend I was in the One Act festival at my school. I was in the play For Whom The Southern Belle Tolls and here are some pictures from the performance. I got the reward Best Performer. It means all three judges wrote down your name. The best performer reward its the highest out of 3 rewards. Only 3 people out of 22 people got it. It was a lot of fun to be in this play. 



There was another person in the play but he was sick the day of the picture

Kind of Zerbray




Shoes: Riding Boots
Scarf: Kohls 
Jeans: Target
Sweater: from my mom

Fall is finally here! The leaves are all over in all sorts of colors. We also got a pumpkin! I love pumpkins. Anyway I found this sweater in my basement a few months ago and my mom said I could have it. I’ve been waiting to wear it for a very long time now. The sweaters print is really cool it kind of looks like a zebra print but not quite.  I gotta say I really like the way this outfit turned out. It’s so cozy and comfy, perfect for a Sunday. 
Yesterday was the day of the One Act I was in. I have been really busy the last month because I was casted in an one act in my school. There are seven plays. 1 for freshman, 2 for sophomores, juniors and seniors. There was only four people in the play I was in. I had a great time. 
I’m thinking about doing a fall haul post. what do you think? 
Have a happy Sunday.

Homecoming


Dress: Consignment store
Shoes: Consignment store

So here’s a few pictures of my homecoming night that happened a few weekends ago. I also have a group picture but I wasn’t sure if I should post it so I didn’t. This dress I found the day before at a consignment store. I had a black dress that I was going to wear but my mom wanted to go to a consignment store to buy some new clothes for work and I found this for only 11 dollars. I got the shoes last year for homecoming from the same consignment store strangely. Any way I don’t like to spend too much money on fancy dresses because I only tend to wear them once or twice. (hope that doesn’t sound spoiled, I’m not) So now I have like 3 or 4 kinda fancy dresses hanging in my closet each for 11 dollars or less. 

Also something else that happened recently was that I got a job. I’m working at my dogs vet. I get to take care of dogs and I get paid for it! I really love animals so this job is very exciting.

Happy Thursday everyone!
