Daily Outfit for the sickie
1 Comment
Even though I’m home sick, and the chances of me leaving the house are slim to none, the discovery of some of my mom’s boots from the 90’s prompted me to put on some real clothes and take a picture. It really doesn’t do the outfit (or me) very much justice, but I don’t have the patience to take more. It’s not that great, but compared to laying around in sweats, i think it looks pretty snazzy.
Shirt: Stolen from mom’s goodwill bin
Jeans: Thrifted; Salvation Army
Boots (Even though they’re barely visible): Stolen from mom
Wow!

13 views. This may not seem like much, but considering the average number of hits I get per day is around 2, 13 is pretty amazing. Stayed home sick today, but hopefully with my madre’s day off we’ll be able to go to salvation army. I really want to find more options for prom… and i haven’t been shopping in awhhile and am begining to get withdrawals. I’m also trying to finish The Beautiful Fall; a book on Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld in the 70’s, it’s been really good so far, and a good excuse to procrastinate on my book I’m supposed to be reading for english.
Cool site, and new projects

I was tag surfing and ended up coming across this really cool sewing site. (I found it off of Eitchy’s blog)
It’s called Burdastyle, and it has free and cheap patterns, along with how-to’s. As soon as I get a chance to go get fabric, I’ll try one or two. I’m definitely digging the Michelle skirt and the Cate dress.
I’m definitely going to have my work cut out for me after i get fabric, I have probably 12-15 patterns i really want to make.
Oh the joys of prom shopping

So I’m for sure going to prom next weekend (prior to this week, we weren’t sure if my boyfriend was going to be able to go), so now I have to decide what I’m going to wear. Since me and the bf have already decided that this year we’re not going all out- we’ll be going three years total, so for both of our senior prom’s we’ll get totally dressed up. I’m thinking about a black strappless wiggle dress but i’m not sure. I’m probably going to take a few trips to salvation army before I completely make up my mind, but I definitely want something vintage. What’s your favorite prom style?

A few weeks ago, while I was moving, i found a huge box of paterns my mom had saved from getting thrown away from my grandma’s. Yesterday I finaly went trhought them and found some really cool vintage ones i definitely plan on doing. Granted, I don’t exactly have the best track record on finishing sewing projects, I’m pretty sure I’m motivated enought to start and finish these. A few unfortunately, i’m going to have to figure out how to enlarge because whoever the pattern was intended for was a skinny one. If you know how to, please inform me. lol.
Earth Day 2008

Woo! It’s Earth Day
I decided to make some eco-friendly resolutions:
1. Start a compost pile or bin; aproximately 23% of waste going into landfills is foodscraps and yard clippings. Composting makes fertilizer out of it.
2. Un-plug things when i’m not using them. I’m really good about turning lights off when I leave the room, and turning appliances off, but when things are plugged in, even if off they use up electricity. So I’m going to work on actually unplugging things before i leave the house
3. Stop Plastic bag use- this one’s kind of a no brainer but I usually end up forgetting my re-usable ones when i go shopping. I’m putting a few in both of our vehicles so i’ll never have to worry about leaving them at home.
What are you doing for earth day?
Who knew country music had style

Just Kidding!
I love country, and yesterday got around to watching the CMT award red carpet show (i started watching the show, but after about 5 minutes got too tired of Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus to continue).
LeAnn Rimes- Well, I must say, it takes a lot of guts to show that much leg at an award show. I’m not really digging the layers but she seems to like it.
Taylor Swift- I’ll admit, i’m slightly biased- Taylor Swift can pretty much do no wrong in my book. Her dress is a little on the boring side, but she still looks good.
Aimee Mayo- Well, until today I had no clue who this woman was, but i’m glad I googled her, turns out she’s one of the most successful country songwriters ever. However that doesn’t make up for the outfit. The dress itself isn’t that bad, but the coat pretty much kills it.
Last but certainly not least; Dierks Bentley- Ok, myabe this was just a shameless excuse to put up a picture of him, but I think he really pulled of the casual but not too sloppy red carpet look.
I’d comment on more, but the need to pass my math class calls, two weeks worth of work here I come =]
Woo Hoo! not. On a totally random note, I watched Fight Club for the first time today, it’s definitely a new favorite, Helena Bonham Carter is such a crazy but talented actress

Heidiwood for Anchor Blue is officially out. Personally, i really can’t see a difference between her ‘fashion line’ and what was already sold in anchor blue; but that’s just me. Some of the dresses I could possibly see myself wearing, but nothing really popped out at me.
Check it out : Heidiwood

Here’s a recent-ish thrifting find, I didn’t end up buying the dress,though it was very tempting, I also found a navy blue one that was the same style. Did buy a red leather Anne Klein for Calderon purse though, It was a good find, and it’s been my everyday purse since I got it.
