Grey Sky
My outfits seem to change tones with the color of the sky. For awhile it was sunny outside and I was dressing in light colors and my outfits were more “springy”. These past few days it’s been grey and drippy out and my outfits feel more wintery again.
This is what I wore out to a Thai restaurant with my family and some of our friends:
Of course the sky looks anything but...

January 2010~A month in review
January has been a pretty good month! I mean I’ve been tired and I’m defiantly ready for summer, but nothing terrible has happened!

Floral Scarf
This is what I wore to my friends basketball game this morning (she won!). The scarf is my moms from a looong time ago and I think it’s really pretty.
My friends and I had a sleepover at one of my friends houses, so the jeans and the shoes are the same as yesterday!
Our shopping trip was super fun! I got a this umbrella in light gray and red:

Excitement
I’m very excited for this weekend! I have lots of fun stuff planned. OTdy three of my best friends and I are going shopping! Todays outfit is the outfit I mentioned making here: http://dailydoseofdana.tumblr.com/post/355119349/be-bright
It might be a bit fancy for shopping and hanging out with friends (the middle part of the bow is sequined if you can’t tell), but I don’t...

50!
This is my 50th post! It’s not an outfit post, but I hope you enjoy it anyways!
I had a big final today for my state history class (I got an 89.3% :D), so I didn’t have the energy last night to make a blog-worthy outfit. I’m just wearing a fushia henley from Old Navy, my boyfriend jeans from American Eagle and my black keds from Urban Outfitters. I braided my hair into two low...

Inspired Ballerina!
Today’s outfit was inspired by this picture from Kimberly of Fabfindsunder50.blogspot.com ‘s insperation calender (see her site or my side bar):
I loved the color combination and made this outfit:
The outfit in the inspiration calender seemed ballerinaish to me so I put my hair up in a bun and wore my new flats that kinda look like toe shoes. I don’t think the shoes went...

Be Bright
I plan out my outfits the night before I wear them. I had planed to wear a different outfit today that I’ll probably wear tomorrow, but it had my grey cardigan I wore yesterday in it, so I decided to wait a day before I wore it again. Then, I made an outfit that was just too dark for school. I’ll probably wear that outfit Friday because we have the day off (day between semesters).

True Love
I loved the skirt and shoes I got the other day so much I had to wear them both today! My usual photographers weren’t available today, so I took my own pictures by balancing my camera on our T.V.:
^^I was having fun playing with the effects on iPhoto
I was wearing this belt at the waist for most of the day, but I noticed around 2:30 that it had broken:
I got it at anthropologie for...

Shopping with my father!
My wonderful father and I went shopping today! I was a lot of fun and I got some cute stuff too.
I got this skirt at Target:
It’s the xhilaration brand, but I can’t find it on the website.
I also got these shoes:
I really like them (and wouldn’t they be cute with my new skirt?) and as a bonus they were only $5 at a thrift store! I had to get some “Fab Feet back of...

Weekend!

Boringly Average
I’m so happy it’s Friday! Even though it was a short week I’m still exhausted. Today’s outfit changed a lot from when I first put it together last night to when I walked out the door today. l’m not too happy with it, but hopefully I’ll be more inspired next week.
Note to self: Don’t wear short sleeves in January!
I kinda did my hair like Julie of...

Clone
Todays outfit made me blend in with pretty much every other girl at my school, but I guess it’s okay to blend in every once and awhile!
I wore my bangs down from the first time in like a month and a bunch of people thought I had gotten a hair cut! also, my hair decided to be pretty straight today…I have no idea why.

Cuffed
I want spring. The sun was shining, but it just wasn’t warm enough. I can’t make the earth spin any faster, but I can dress like it’s spring:
I got this jacket at GoodWill with my wonderful father’s cousin a few years ago. It was too big then, but now I can wear it. I’m not sure if I like it or not…I think it worked pretty well here.
I look so tired in this...

New Camera!
So, I got a Casio digital camera a few months ago and, as I think I said before it broke and so I’ve been using my wonderful father’s camera for about a week. The camera was under warranty, but they wanted to charge us the price of a new camera to fix it, so I got a new camera instead. I’m liking the new camera so far, but I’m not really picky!
Here’s a picture:

Beautiful Bows!
Today I’m wearing one of the bow hair clips I posted yesterday, a shirt with a bow on it, a skirt that ties in a bow in the back and my bow earrings!
This skirt was a dress that I wore for my Bat Mitzvah:
It got too short for school, so my mom made it into a skirt!
I did end up wearing my grey cardigan (the one I always wear ;)) again during school because it’s soo cold in...

Hair Bows & More!
Yesterday I made some more hair accessories! My outfit is nothing exciting today so I’m going to show you pictures of them instead!
This is a hair elastic with a black satin ruffle on it! I’m going to give this to someone I think because it doesn’t really show up in my hair. Or maybe I’ll do some sort of give away on here… that would be cool!

Cupcake
Today I went to Value Village and Cupcake Royale. I didn’t find anything at Value Village, but I did get a delicious cupcake called “Royale with Cheese”. It was chocolate cake with cream-cheese frosting! mmmm
My outfit today kinda matched my cupcake!:
It finally stopped raining so I could take my picture outside today!

New Jeans
*Yawn* I’m so tired right now. We had more testing today and (probably because I wasn’t wearing a ponytail ;)) my eyelids kept drooping. Anyways…I love my new jeans and I can’t wait to wear them again.

Not much to say today, umm I wore my black cardigan buttoned up all the way for most of the morning because I swear the heat...

I love ordering stuff online! Paying shipping is annoying, but, when you get it in the mail, it’s like getting a present from someone who knows exactly what you like!
Today the jeans I ordered with a gift card I got from one of my wonderful aunts from American Eagle came! I’m planning on wearing them tomorrow.

Dress Code
So, I wanted to wear this other dress today, but when I put it on this morning I realized it was too short for school, so I did a quick change into this dress, and threw on some pearls and my favorite cardigan. It’s not the best outfit, but it was fine. I could rant on and on about our dress code, but, honestly, I’m glad that we have it because If we didn’t some people would...

Copy Cat
^^excuse the dirt
Today’s outfit is roughly inspired by this picture
link: http://fashionchalet.blogspot.com/2009/06/nike-run.html
I have the skinny jeans, the nikes and the 1/2 tucked tee (although you can’t see it very well in my picture). I think it’s a pretty cute casual outfit, although some people at school did look at me funny and ask why my shirt was tucked...

Winter Lake
My dad and I took a walk by the lake today and took some pictures:
^^My wonderful winter coat! It’s my favorite color and it actually super warm becuase it’s lined with thinsulate.
Nothing too exciting about today’s outfit. All I have to say is that I’m in love with this cardigan! It goes with everything, it’s warm and I wish that I could wear it everyday!

My Wonderful Father
Usually, my pictures are taken by my wonderful mother, but my dad likes photography and was home today, so he took some really cool pictures of me. I also played around on iPhoto with some of them and I think the end result is really cool:

Sun in my eyes :P

Happy Friday!
Yes, this one turned out shaky, but I think it looks kind of cool and you can see my necklace better.

Zzzzz....

Ponytails make me smarter!
Okay so as you can see I wore a pony tail today and also today I had this like test thing. My theory is that you are smarter when you wear a ponytail because ponytails pull your hair, sending oxygen to your brain! So, last time i took this test i got a 256 (no ponytail) and this time, wearing a ponytail I got a 262! Anywaysss… here’s what I’m wearing:
sweatshirt: hand-me-down...

School
Blech…back to school again. Well, on the bright side that means more people to see my outfits every day which gives me more motivation to dress nicely. Today I belted my scarf like the lovely ladies of academichic. I think it turned out pretty well (aka I didn’t get too many odd looks in the halls ;])
As you might have noticed, my picture is outside today! This is because my lovely...

Girly Girl
This hot pink dress combined with a sweater with sparkly buttons combined with purple boots makes me feel like a total girly girl..not that that’s like bad or any thing!

Craft Time!
Today I decided I wanted to make some rings, so I dragged out my old beads and wire and here is what I created:
a button ring!
a heart ring!
To make the button ring you make a double loop of wire that fits your finger and then you thread wire through the button and twist it on to the rings so it stays on and isn’t uncomfurtable!
To make the heart ring, form a heart out of wire using...
