blue stripes + black vest. or "omgpirates!" look. & some rambling.

hello lovelies!

goodness, i need to think of better outfit titles, huh? this week has been INSANE, and i'm terribly sorry i haven't blogged much! but it's starting to calm down -- at least a bit. i'll be at all state band tryouts monday evening/night, and i'll be off to auburn honor band thursday though sunday next week, though. ahh, so busy! but anyway.

oh! i "modeled" in a local fashion show this evening. i wore a slinky prom dress, a HUGE fluffy ball gown, and a short party dress. it was my first time, and although i kinda screwed up the first and second times i walked out, i kicked ass with that short dress! mom took a million pics, so i'll post some here... eventually. xD

but anywho! this outfit is the blue stripes + black vest look. OR my "omgi'mapirate!" look. (the way the vest puffs out from the belt and the skinny jeans remind me of a pirate, don't ask.)

oopsie, cut my elbow out. anywho, blue striped shirt is ralph lauren. (it's two sizes too large now, though.) black vest is also lauren ralph lauren. (and also, two sizes too large.) jeans are levis. black flats are surprisingly from avon! yes, the make up company. they have a very adorable ruffle on them which makes them just unique enough. i love those things.



these are the earrings i wore -- my beloved betsey johnson earrings! i wear these all the time. i love betsey johnson; she's one of my favorite designers.



this was my statement piece of jewelry: a metallic flower ring from mark. it's gotten a lot of wear -- it's so versatile! i can wear it with the most feminine of outfits or with a grunge-inspired look.



pic!whore. perhaps if you look closely, you can see my chain & pearl necklace i'm wearing.

if i don't get to blog for a while, i want you guys to know how completely AWE...inspiring you are! (bonus points if you caught my lame-o joke.)

with love!
