Kitty and Good Deals

shirt and shoes: Plato's Closet, skirt; Modbod, necklace: mom's from forever ago

My kitty Pigeon decided to crash my photos today.  She's an indoor cat, but I let her outside every so often because she loves it and she rolls around in the dirt meowing her head off.  I would let her out more often, but I'm not allowed to have a cat where I live right now so I don't want to get caught, and I'm afraid she'll run away or get hit by a car.  

On a fashion note... this whole outfit cost less that $20. Pretty good huh? (shirt: $7, shoes: $6, skirt: $5- because the zipper was broken when I bough it, necklace: free from mama). Also I looked up the brand of these shoes after I first bough them and the brand sells for almost $200!

Blossoms

 

 sweater: h and m, shirt: target, jeans: aeropostale

 shoes: (they're yellow sandals) forever young

Suz and I went to these apple orchards a few weeks ago because I wanted to take pictures in the apple blossoms. There weren't any blossoms yet so I waited a while before we went back again.... and I waited too long! I was sooo sad. Now I have to wait another year before I can take apple blossom pictures.  At least there was a ton of dandelions. I know they're a weed but the kid in me thinks they are so fun!

Gotta get down on Friday

dress/leggings: f21, shirt: h and m, shoes you can't see (they are red flats with bows): gap outlet

Happy Friday everyone! Do you have any fun plans for the weekend? Tonight Jordan and I are going to a BBQ and tomorrow we are celebrating our 6 month anniversary! Crazy how time flys. I feel like winter semester just started.  Also, apparently a few weeks ago I said I would plan our date. Last night I suggested a shopping trip to Anthropologie, but Jordan didn't like that idea. We shall see...

Facing My Fears

shirt and shoes: f21, skirt and necklace: modcloth, shirt: jcew, bracelet: handmade

I took my pictures using my tripod again (with no Jensen) and instead of taking them in my front yard where no one can see me, I went to the big yard in front of the fire department.  This time I wasn't afraid of being mobbed, I was afraid because I went to a public place to take them!  As lame as it may sound, I'm kind of proud of myself for being a little more adventurous with my photos.

Side note, when you were in middle school do you remember the days of making bar graphs where you would poll the members in your class about what kind of fridge they had, how many siblings they had, or how many buttons they were wearing?  I always wished on days like that I were wearing something like this instead of just jeans and a t-shirt. (12 buttons instead of 1 would have been so cool!)

Paranoid

 

dress: down east, shoes: gift, bracelet: modcloth
I got a bonus at work and treated myself to a new dress! I love it! Its super comfortable, and it's not often I find a dress with sleeves and goes to my knees that I actually like.

I took these photos by myself at this old half cement buiding thing by some farm fields.  Jensen and I have taken pictures here before and there's usually no one else around.  When I went to take these there were 3 cars parked there already which made me a little nervous (or a lot nervous).  When I got out of my car I took my phone and purse and everything with me to make sure no one would break into my car and steal everything.  As I was setting up my tripod I kept wondering how difficult it would be to run away in my heels if I got attacked, and if I should try to save my purse and camera or leave them behind  When I was almost done with my pictures I found out who the cars belong to. It wasn't druggies or thieves afterall.  Just a bride, a photographer, her mom, and a friend taking bridals.  Kind of the opposite of thieves.

Also I'm on the hunt for new glasses. These are one of the try-ons I got from Warby Parker. What do you think?

Wrong Number

blouse: banana republic, skirt: maurices (from high school), sweater: target, shoes: forever young, headband:f21

For some reason when someone whose number I don't have saved texts me I'm always afraid to ask who it is. I'll try to text back a few minutes and see if I can figure it out.  Last night a number I didn't know was texting me. I thought it was Suz because she's in a town with no service, so I was thinking she was using a friend's phone.  When the unknown texter responded "siiiick" to something I said, I thought maybe it wasn't Suz after all. Then, when I asked what they were up to they said they were going to the hospital to see the baby, and sent me a picture of the baby, I realized it for sure was not Suz.  I finally told them I didn't know who it was so they wanted me to guess.  I guessed the only people I knew who recently had babies and they sent me a frowny face because I guessed wrong. Turns out it was a wrong number.  

Sorry if my long story about a wrong number bored you to tears :)

Twin Tuesday - Wardrobe Staple

Viv:

shoes/belt: f21, jeans: nordstrom, shirt: gap, scarf: san fran

Suz:

shirt/shoes: target, pants: f21, bag: DIYed by Viv, belt: thrifted, scarf: yard sale!

Grey v-necks are probably the easiest thing to style.  And also one of my favorite go-to shirts. Also, I dyed my hair red. Can you tell? Jordan isn't a fan, but I love it!

I'll be gone for a wee bit again.  I'll be up in Vernal until Saturday, but I won't be looking for otters this time. I'll be looking for burrowing owls! Cute! I'm a wildlife conservation major, and my project emphasis is river otters. I work in the lab most of the time though because I do genetics work, so I'm excited to be outdoors for a little while.  I don't remember if I mentioned before, but I've been to Vernal a few times already to look for otters. There isn't a whole lot to do there, and my work hours for the week are 5 am to 9 am and then again 5 pm to 9 pm. I wonder what magic Vernal will have for me during the day... should be pretty exciting!
