#ODP13 Day Six

 As promised: the first complicated outfit of the month! This outfit actually reminds me of a movie that's coming out, The Lego Movie (don't make fun of me because I watch little kid movies...). There's a scene in the preview where one of the characters asks Batman (my favorite Superhero, btw. Besides Iron Man, of course) if he can make the batmobile in orange. Batman responds, "I only work in black. And occasionally very, very, very dark gray." So basically, I'm Batman. 

 I wore The Dress with my petal dress over top, a black vest, silvery shoes, a black belt, and a black and gray headband. Also: first day with the gel eyeliner, I like it so far!

#ODP13 Day Five

 Happy day five, y'all! Today was pretty lazy, I didn't wake up until 11 and then went to get groceries with my momma. So I just threw on this top (which is kind of my favorite top right now, I've worn it three times in the past month), a black belt, and my multi-colored converse, which were a gift from my grandma a few Christmases ago. I didn't even wear make-up because I ran out of eyeliner yesterday. Since I'm on a spending freeze, I thought I wasn't going to be wearing any eyeliner for a while, but my lovely mom said she would buy some for me :) So I'm trying out gel eyeliner now, have any of you tried it? Thoughts, advice?

#ODP13 Day Four

So my dad's a Major now, no biggie.. ;) Actually, it's kind of a huge biggie cause it took a lot of work to get here! Anyway, congrats dad! I had to look more dressed up for the ceremony (which I was kinda late to...what can you really do about class schedules?) so I paired The Dress with a filmy Wet Seal top (thrifted), orange beads, pink earrings, and black heels. I had my same pink flats from yesterday on earlier in the day while going to class, but I switched to heels on the drive to the ceremony. Happy day four!

#ODP13 Day Three

 So you know yesterday when I told you today's outfit would be more complicated? Yeah I lied.. It started out complicated, but then I thought I'd save that outfit for Sunday and only had time to throw on this top instead. I'm also wearing a pink bracelet, necklace, earrings, flats, and flower. Tomorrow I have to be a little more fancy for my dad's PROMOTION! Congrats dad! 

#ODP13 Day Two

Here we are at Day 2 already! Yesterday went SO fast. Probably because I didn't wake up until 10, but whatever... Sorry for the poor quality of these photos, but they were taken before I headed out to my 8am class, so you get what you get... Today I'm wearing The Dress, my plaid shirt that I've had forever, a black and silver cross necklace, my watch, a bracelet I've had forever, red earrings, and white flats. Stay tuned for tomorrow's outfit :) I'll have more time to get ready tomorrow morning so it'll most likely be more complicated.

#ODP13 Day One

 Day One! I kept it simple for today, there'll be plenty of days to layer! If you missed my post yesterday, you can read how I altered the dress here. You can see all of last year's outfits here. Today I wore The Dress, my pink and blue plaid shoes ($6 at Payless like 5 years ago), my new rose gold watch (Walmart, $13), vintage pink earrings (thrift store, $0.53), and my stained glass-esque elephant necklace (mall kiosk, $1).

I am "That Girl"

 You know the one. The one who clicks into class. Who wears heels more than she wears flats. I just can't wear flats four whole days a week! I just can't! So Friday I wore heels to school. And I survived! I thought I would be in so much pain at the end of the day, with carrying an extra 30 or so pounds on my back and all, but my feet didn't hurt that bad!

 I just got these shoes and shirt at the thrift store the other day with my mom. I think they were each about $3.

 I'm pretty much in love with these shoes. Even though they are technically one size too small they don't pinch my feet. They had a little tear in the material on the back of the right heel, but I did a little DIY fix that you can look forward to in the next week or so (:

 The shirt was actually a size 14, which is probably two sizes bigger than I normally would have gotten, but I just added a belt and it works!

I'm a Little Flower

 Guess what guys...I went shopping on Wednesday! Which means NEW (to me) CLOTHES! Which is pretty much my favorite thing ever, besides spending time with my family and friends, which can be done while shopping, so that's pretty awesome. So I got this dress at one of the thrift stores my mom and I went to for like $6. It reminds me of a flower and will from now on be known as my petal dress. It's getting way cold here (it was in the 30's last night) and the dress is strapless so I had to wear a little sweater (purchased at a garage sale for $0.50) and tights to keep warm. I wanted to pair it with these super cute new heels that I purchased, but I thought that would be too dressy for Bible Study and school, so I went with my silver sparkly TOMS. I'm also wearing my spoon ring (tutorial found here), charm bracelet, treble clef earrings, and black and gray headband. Thoughts?

First Day of School

I'm officially a college student! I'm headed to my very first class this morning! :) Now most people would be worried about homework, or what their professors will be like, or things like that. I'm not too worried about that. But what's been on my mind the past few days is what I'm going to wear to my first day of classes. I had it all figured out until I went shopping yesterday and found these shorts at a thrift store. They're from The Limited. They're brand new. Like the tags were still on them. They were originally $50. I got them for $2. I'm not even kidding you. You should have seen the look on my face when the cashier told me my total. This, my friends, is why you should go shopping all the time. You never know what you'll find just before you need it!

The Last of the Summer Ruffles

 So it's officially August. Summer is coming to an end. And here in New York, that means the short-lived warmth is coming to an end. I decided to get my filmy ruffles in while I still could! I bought this Ann Taylor shirt while thrift shopping yesterday for less than $2, and I got the New York & Company skirt at a different thrift store a while ago for a similar price. Gotta love great brands for great prices!

Polka Dots and Strings

 I've been waiting for a while for the perfect outfit to wear this head scarf with and I finally found it! I got this top at the on-post thrift store the other day for less than $3 and it's the perfect color to wear with the scarf! I paired it with skinny jeans, a white cami, my blue polka dot earrings and necklace, and sparkly TOMS. When we went to a concert in the park I also wore a blue sweater because it is getting COLD here! It's so not nice! (I was going to say not cool.. but it is cool...) I haven't decided whether I'm going to shorten the strings on the top yet; thoughts? 

Happy Colors

 There are some colors that I wear to cheer myself up. This skirt is pretty much my go-to if I'm having a bad day. I didn't wear it today to cheer me up; I was feeling happy already. I paired it with a pink tank-top and a yellow button down tied up. I also wore my fruitloop necklace that was given to me by a friend, with matching earrings :)
