I Fancy Myself.

Today i'm in one of those crazy moods...i'm sure you know the kind: hyper, exhausted, a little stressed out, trying to keep it together...oy vey....

Business project due tomorrow....need to print 55 pages....conflabbit, the computer lab workers may hurt me....


I realized i had a run...well, major run in my tights...at that point, i just went with it, too lazy to change. They didn't look that bad...i just love this tights so much!!

Gotta get my butt in gear...meeeeeow.

I Embrace Myself

I've been following Olivine's Charm School for a while, and today one of the posts really...inspired? ...me.

Check it out...but the gist of it is to starting thinking positively of yourself, something i haven't done for a long, long time. My dirty little secret one could say...

Today...I Embrace Myself.

My quirks...my general weirdness...at times, short temperedness...impatience...
All of those things i don't like about myself...that's ok.

I'm not perfect. Far from it.

But as i've told my Sissy (many times, might i add [and i just did]) that your imperfections make you perfect.



New shoe clips from Charlotte Russe. I clipped them onto the sides of my rainboots to go for dinner...twas pouring...if i were Mary Poppins, i would have been swept away :(


Dinner and tv time with Katie...tv calling!



And after my micro class, i threw on my sweatpants...then quickly shorts because it is soo warm in our building! Not normally one for sweats, but it seemed appropriate given all i wanted to do was curl up and work on my business project. Almost done!! Presentation on Thursday :)

We're ready. Maybe.

Oh, joy.

The annual Xmas card pic.


That dreaded time...when we must have our picture taken for the annual card...why??? So people can say how "big" we've gotten? Gee, thanks. I'd rather forgo that awkwardness. On the brightside, i'm the tall one. Although, my Sissy is the beauty of the two.




I felt cute...although i froze a little in church :/
Dress: H&M
Belt: Old Navy
Shoes: found under my bed...from 7th grade spring dance. Score!

Throwing on jeans and a sweater to make the trek back to school...or rather, car ride...

Old Shoes, New Love

Found a pair of shoes i had completely forgotten about... (sowwy, shoes)

They are brown velvety material with pink bows and i have fallen in love with them again!

Cleaning out my room can be a good thing....



Brown's not my usual color...but they are super soft and oh-so-comfy.


 In need of a better camera...mein ist kaputt.  For 12 megapixels, it's not very good -_-  dang Kodak....or perhaps it's the operator....dang Jillian...

My legs look nice. Check out legs; distract you from picture quality!

My camera doesn't like stripes...they come out funny sometimes.


I'm a sssssnake. Vintage snake belt.

As i carefully pointed out to my Sissy the other day: I am not weird; i'm interestingly odd.

And in need of sleep. As always. Here's to a fabulous Monday of trying to get back into the habit of this phenomenom called school.

The Hols

This is what i wore Tuesday....long day of getting everything packed and going to class and heading to my Sissy's work before we started the 2 1/2 hr ride home...




Of course, i wore a jacket over this...and had an umbrella for the downpour.

It's been a crazy hols so far...ups and downs of stress and homework and being loud and obnoxious with my Sissy. I cleaned out my room a bit, though! I feel accomplished...as well as finished some homework and caught up on sleep a bit.

Felt as though i broke my kneecap this morning. Our bathroom door is quite hard against bone...and i'm quite clumsy...

Oh, happy belly full of chocolate pumpkin muffins :)

Time to see Teddy!

1 day down, 1 to go

Going into this week, i knew it would be relatively short being as it is only two days, yet it seems to be quite long indeed. . . . i may get 8 hours of sleep tonight! That is a very exciting thought indeed....

I still have yet to pack. Oh my.

Tomorrow is another day...full of promise. Perhaps. At least full of delicious home food.


My roomies and our honorary roomie had a nice mini fashion shoot today with our dresses to break up the stressful day we've been having...oh, so much to do, so much to do yet.

Laundry and homework in the morning...class, appearance at class...homework, go to Sissy's work, homework, homework, homework til we go home.

Throw in a shower in there....too tired tonight. I shall sleep well at least.

Hello, Beautiful

Today was so pretty out...despite it being November, in my mind i'm still expecting it to be niiiiiice out. Sun. Slight wind is acceptable...no snow -_-

Shoveling will be my winter break workout...honestly, i love to shovel!!! Yes, yes, that is strange...but i don't like running. I'm really bad at it...and look funny doing it...but i can shovel like there's no tomorrow! haha

Oh how i love the messy hair! My hair's growing out...hmm i guess it's not so bad...just brush it and go. Good thing messy do's are perfectly acceptable on windy days!



I love mixing prints...navy&white polka dots with black&yellow floral tied together with black belt. Finished off with my boots (they're great when i don't want to wear pants!) and feathers.

I do what i want.

I think my inner child is coming out...i hated pants when i was little. Especially jeans! They were just stiff...i couldn't "roughhouse" as my Grammie B would say. Free spirit haha

Although based upon that, i'm not sure why i love tights now...i absolutely deplored them when i was little!!

Hmm...lovely relaxing Sunday. Can't wait til break! Corn nuggets!

NYC!

Oh, how i've missed the city :)

We had 9 hours to ourselves in the city and it was incredible! I was soo excited to see the Naked Cowboy yet again...oooh baby! ;)

I'm going to need a good long sleep to recover from all of the excitement...but it was well worth it.


Just realized that bus is from a company from my hometown...


As you can see, I made many friends ;)



Happy Feet Two! Can't wait to see it over break with my Sissy!


I fell in love with Breakfast at Tiffany's...and finally got to go there!


Jill!


Times Square...on the prowl for the one and only. . . .


Naked Cowboy!


Great day!

Cash Cab anyone?

So...Ben Bailey came to our school and had a performance. Twas interesting...a great night with my Sissy and Sue, who came to watch it. The sports center was packed! But it was nice to get away from that dang business project. . . .oh, procrastination, i had been avoiding you sooo well....til now.


No pants! :)

Next week at this time...

Hopefully at this time next week I'll be heading to my bed...early good night...that would be lovely!

But, alas, i have to continue to operate in student mode until break. Only a few more days! I'm looking forward to seeing a few friends when i'm home but mostly seeing my Mummy and Fajer and driving them crazy. I don't want them to feel deprived ;)




Found this old AE shirt when i was digging through my closet over fall break...which reminds me that i have the horrendous task of going through my closet on Thanksgiving break. Oh, joy. But it simply must be done!

So many things to do....

I'm Not Okay.

Sickness is not the way i wanted to lose weight....but other than the pale pallor, i feel fairly well!

Despite the rain, i rocked the day with no pants.





Yes, yes, a tad bit nippy noodles without pants. . . . but it was quite worth it. Love my tights and semi-arm candy. Although not the originator of the army candy, i do enjoy trying my own twists on different things i see...purpose of style blogs: express personal style and be inspired by others. Ok, ok, getting all wisdom-y....

Time to finish decorating dormroom with roomies!! :)

Make Sure to Keep My Distance

Today was a not so shabby day...meh ups and downs...this mental exhaustion shall be the end of me. Or perhaps my current state of insomnia and nighttime restlessness...hmm

Collectively, i had the equivalent of one 80-minute class today...20 mins in business to take my exam, not realizing how quickly i had taken it given how careful i was and how diligently i took it...and released, yes, released, such a negative connotation, from micro 20 minutes early. I sang Christina Perri songs in my head the whole time. My friend Nate would be proud.


Yes, the slippers completely make the outfit. I had thought i was dressed for the day...then threw on a few more things....


Muuuch better! :)
Cardi: Aeropostale
Tanks: Aeropostale (navy), PacSun (leopard)
Skinnies: Hot Topic

I love Hot Topic skinnies...not that i have the skinny thighs for them, but they are very niiiiice. Perhaps with a few more weeks of working out diligently (i'm on a role...going to get healthy!) i shall have more toned, thin, lean legs. Perhaps.

Off to study Deutsch German. Auf Wiedersehen.

At least the rain held up...

I had checked the forecast for this morning (pondering on whether or not to wear pants today...) and it had predicted thunderstorms all day! Luckily, the forecast proved false so i didn't get my tootsies wet. I deplore wet socks -_-

Right now would be a great time for sleeeeeeeping...early bedtime, but alas, i must study. I wish i just knew everything. That would make life sooo much easier...just absorbing info through osmosis...

I rocked a little geekdom, though :)

Perhaps Mondays should be a geek/nerd day. Yes, yes, there is a difference....simply overgeneralizing.


Why, yes, that is Pikachu dangling from my neck!
Headband: Austrian Claire's
Earrings: Claire's
Necklace: from childhood
Tanks: Old Navy (white underneath) and PacSun (floral)
Shirt: little European shop
Jeans: Old Navy (super glue stains not included)
Booties: Target, i believe?

I'm lovin' me some InStyle before business reviewing. . . . .
