I Should've Waited.

I'm really bad about writing new entries, my sincerest apologies. These past couple of weeks have been pretty hectic, what with final papers and presentations and creating a website and other events. So busy, I wasn't even all that excited when my birthday came and went. However, I do have lovelies in my life that made my night, that is...once I finally got out of class at 7pm.

Right after I was set free, I drove over to Dogtown where I waited until my little sister and her boyfriend got off work from Cici's. They special-made me this buffalo wing pizza, 

with "Happy Birthday" written in the buffalo sauce.

Then, when I got back to the apartment...I had a lovely cake waiting for me by the wonderful Pornz! Her blog's about our future travels to Spain, as noted in the icing.

Classes officially ended on Monday, giving me time to do fun stuff. By fun, I mean going to the library downtown to pay my fine. Eh, it was only 60 cents. Since I was already there, I picked up a couple of reads for *gasp* pleasure reading.

What a NOVEL concept!

(Bah-dum-cha?)

I also wanted a reason to TOTE around my new book bag. 

(Ba-dum-cha? Damn.) 

It was scored at the Beebe Flea Market for a mere dime. Also, the booties...aren't they divine? Found them at Savers. They feel like I'm wearing slippers!

Whilst neglecting my blog, I have been updating my lookbook. I neeeeeed to take pictures in a setting away from my room! There are some fun spots around campus, but I can only imagine the stares I'd get. We'll see how things pan out once summer's in full session. I bought the red gingham dress this past weekend in the Goodwill of Jacksonville. The kind clerk let me have it for the price of a blouse, knocking off a dollar in savings. The darts just needed a few alterations for a better fit, forcing the sewing machine from out of the shadows.

 So, I began packing up my worldly possessions this week, in hopes that it will lighten the load by the time that I have to be completely out next Thursday. I have no idea what compelled me to pack up my wall decor tonight, but I did. Now my walls are barren and I might not be able to cope. It's amazing what a few pieces hung up on the wall can do for the psyche. I'm tempted to put them back up, at least my Animal Collective poster, but that would require more time than what it took to take down...and...I'm lazy.

The Before: Photography bought from a friend, butt-art I did in high school, decorated cork-board, and my freaking awesome Animal Collective Poster.

The After: Barren White Walls.

Now's a good time to hit the sack. I have an orientation meeting for Spain (!!!) and more packing waiting for me once I awake from my slumber.

From the Confines of My Bedroom

So, I think I've discovered how I'm going to document my outfits from now on. This might be really lame, but it works...for now at least. I'm just not comfortable taking pictures in the living room, even less out in public. Ehhhh. I'll work on it. Hopefully there'll come a day when I can take outfit photos with my pal Mango.

We'll see, we'll see.

I wore this outfit to Monday's presentation that I had to give in class about Art Therapy. I handed out crayons and manila folders to my classmates and invited them to doodle. I had some technical difficulties with the sound, but it was fixed. I hope I got a good grade! At least I looked cute. That should count for something, right?

I still can't believe that I found these at Goodwill. It's so difficult to find decent vintage shoes in my size. People back in the day just didn't have size 9.5 feet!

Plus, these were a steal at a mere 4 dollahz!

I checked out the new Savers that recently opened. That place is HUGE! And full of people. I managed to find this 80s floral swimsuit. I like finding swimsuits that can be worn as body-suits, a la American Apparel. (It's soooo much cheaper!)

I'm also wearing my favorite golden clothespin necklace. This beauty was scored this past winter when I was looking for xmas gifts for my roomies. I couldn't help myself. ($3.00!)

The entire look, in all its glory.

I realized that I have completely neglected my blog. I'll try and do better. Promise!
