Palm trees and Pink houses

I've mentioned it before (like, at least ten thousand times) but Pink is my color. Peanut butter has Jelly, coffee has creamer, Jim has pam, and I have pink. The first house we lived in after moving to Florida was pink, and that really set the tone (literally) for rest of my life.

A few years later and a few miles down the beach line, I now live in a town where the town hall is pink. My next door neighbors house is hot pink (and I wrote about it here) and my favorite coffee shop? No surprise that it's a charming shade of cherry blossom pink as well. 

In the next couple months I'll be moving across the country to a state that is a little lacking in the pink house department. But for now, I'm savoring every moment here where there are palm trees and pink houses galore. 

PS: My dress is from Dillards. Honestly, I didn't even know people under 40 even shopped at Dillards. But this dress made me rethink everything, I love it so much. 

Hashtag OOTD

I don't think I ever thought I would be posting an outfit here. I mean, never at a reasonable hour of the day have I thought this. Because this is not a fashion blog (duh) and I am not a fashion person (double duh). But a few weeks ago a friend and I began exchanging outfits and voila, hashtag ootd was born. And I have to say! Though I mock those cheesy instagram fashion people, don't be fooled by the term selfie. These are shots are way harder than they look. We've finally come to the conclusion that its best when my face is excluded, because my face can really mess up a lot of things!

Again, not totally sure why I'm posting these. I'm listening to a really good song and its kind of running any thinking i might be doing, but anyway! It was kinda funny to see what I wear every day and how my style is actually REALLY boring. but it's a good study, i suggest you do one from time to time.

Anyway, onto the cheese!

All I can say is, dresses are my favorite and praise the Lord for filters because I actually look somewhat tan here. The magic of photoshop should never be underestimated.

hashtag ootd, over and out! Thanks for all the good times!

PS: pretty much everything is from past seasons (...ahem, old.) The gold pin and striped dress are still current though, for those of you curious.

Pink dresses and peonies...

Oh peonies.

You know, I kinda think flowers are heart breakers. I mean, they are SO GORGEOUS and then poof, you wake up one morning and they are a soggy, floppy mess. I thought flowers were supposed to mend broken hearts...not rip out the stitches!

I kinda think I might get overly attached to flowers. (and also have really lame analogies.)

And also, sorry for totally interrupting your majestic moment with the peonies. What's that...MY FACE? I don't know, I just thought that peonies and pink dresses deserve to go side by side.  So here's to summer, peonies and pink dresses to boot.

PS: I crossed off some things on my summer list....i mean syllabus! Check it out, cause you know you wanna.

B is for blue

Not much to say about this other than "I LOVE BLUE" and "I WISH IS WAS A MILLIONAIRE!" But isnt' that what every girl says after she makes a mood board with all her retail dreams?

Absolutely!

Have a happy weekend, full of beautiful blue things. I insist!

one, two, three, four, five

So this is how we look....

Hear ye! Hear Ye! Apparently, this is how Miss (un)Photogenic looks in front of a camera of decent stature. Notice Miss (un)Photogenic's flashy and vibrant rubber bands, such a style statement! So fashion forward...!

ANYWAY,

KJ got his Senior pictures taken a few weeks ago and I tagged along. More like I followed at an almost creepy distance and stalked. But! I wound up getting my picture taken so I guess my stalking proved worthwhile. FINALLY. I've only been waiting 14.6 years to have my hard work pay off.

What? You're a stalker too??! Great! We're practically twins. Except, maybe your rubber bands arent quite so flashy? Join the club, it's rad.

ps: my dress is from Target. 

Pajama Vibes

Well, this is embarrassing. I'm publicly admitting I love my pajamas.

I know there are some people who can't get ANYTHING done when they are in their pajamas. I hear ya peeps. I mean, pajamas are for beds and beds don't accomplish much except sawing logs and making you get up late.

But then, there's me.

I on the other hand, am like a pajama dynamo. Of course, I have my lazy days where all I want to do is watch you tube videos. But then I also have my rock star pajama days where I'm practically shouting "I AM GOING TO CONQUER THE WORLD!"

Something along those lines.

I turn on my turbos and attack every speck of dust in site (pajamas, dusting - does it get any better?) You guys better watch out...I get pretty fierce in my pjs. And besides the fact that I've been rambling on about PAJAMAS FOR PETES SAKE, I was going to tell you that today was NOT a dynamo day. The pajama vibes were NOT flowing.

So I got dressed in my favorite dress, because when pj's aren't doing it for ya, you'd better stick to floral prints, my friend.

There are a few reasons I don't have a fashion blog.....Reason one: This post.

(and this one)

Announcing a new tradition!

Guess what? I'm starting a new tradition!

Mom and Dad are going to be THRILLED, to say the least!

I herby declare, that every birthday, I will pick out a special dress to wear!

YAY!

Needless to say, I'm pumped. I've been googling (and googling) since August for THE DRESS. I found it, but it was still $65, so I've started searching again.

I think when I find it, I'll start balling and huggging everyone and shout "I'M SAYING YES TO THE DRESS!!!" Because really, that's what ANY teenage girl would do after she's watched 40 hours of Say Yes to the Dress. Maybe I'll even get jacked up! And by jacked up, I mean actually get out of gym shorts and comb m hair.

Guys, it's gonna be a good day. Keep the tissues ready...

Wu Hoo - Hawaiian Prints!

I have lived in a tropical place almost my entire life, so naturally I'm smitten on Hawaiian prints. Just about every family portrait that has been taken has been filled with Hawaiian prints and kids who cross their eyes and  have crooked teeth. Jason Wu's resort collection is filled with pretty Hawaiian themed florals, take a look.

What do you think of these tropical lovelies? One of my life goals is to wear something Jason Wu. I mean, REAL Jason Wu. I do have a Jason Wu shirt, but its not "really real." With that said, I'd better go get a job.

What I would wear

There's a homeschool dance coming up and as much as I'd like too, I won't be one the attendees. But just because I'm not going does not mean I can't think about what I would wear...right? Okay, I make no sense.

I personally am not a fan of skimpy, teenage prom dresses. They are always, too tight, too short and sometimes fairly ugly. I prefer a little more elegant looking style.

I wish I had $200 dollars laying around so I could get this! Isn't it just darling? I love the color, and the bow is sort of weird, but with a cardigan and belt this would be extra adorable.This one I could actually think about buying, but it seems kind of silly to waste all my Christmas money on one dress. I love the layers of pleats on this one and while green is generally not my favorite color, I love this shade.

So that's what I'd be wearing if I were going. I get my new glasses today, I'll show you some pictures I'm sure!
