Day 243: I'll Take Your Picnic and Raise You a BBQ!

I could get used to this sunny weather. 
Please don't take it away Bellingham! 
For easy lounging, I wore the dress under a donated shirt by Riley and Birkenstocks. Easy layout and homework ensemble. 

Day 242: Happy Mothers Day.

I love my mother. I wanted to show her handy work before her true gift... Motherhood. 
She created me and I love her more than anything. I wish I could have been with her today but we had Thursday and we will have next Sunday. I love that she is not too far away!

I also had a call back today. I wanted to look cute. I feel rather successful. 
The dress was worn as a slip under a patterned dress donated to the project, paired with a blue gap cardigan (my recent favorite), and yellow flats (other favorites). I hope it went well. 

Now to wine and paper. 


Day 241: For Lor-Lor.

My mother made me this skirt. 
I love you mom. I wear this today, for you. 
The dress is worn as a tank top under a gap blue cardigan, the home-made beautiful skirt, and yellow flats. 



Day 240: Head-shots by Sam.

Today I wore the dress like a skirt, paired with an UrbanOutfitters tank-top, blue gap cardigam black circle scarf that someone left at my house (owner comment), key necklace, and black ankle boots.

Look at how pretty Sam makes me. 


Day 239: Rent! Rent! Rent!

We have been working since the beginning of the quarter and opening day is finally here! What a big day... Alec and I signed our lease. My mom came up and we figured out financial aid for the summer and next year. We went to dinner. And she came to the show. She and Alec were so proud. 

Come see the show! 

We kick ass. 

I play Joanne. 

Today I wore my Birkenstocks, genie pants from UrbanOutfitters, the dress worn as a tank top, black hoodie donated by Jessica, and Gap jean jacket. 



Day 238: We Open Tomorrow!

COME SEE RENT. 
I will have showered by then. 
I promise to get out of these yoga pants. They are just so damn comfortable. 
Dress as a shirt, Target yoga pants, old man Goodwill plaid, floral Forever21 scarf, Tevas. 

Day 237: Class is Too Long.

I got up for class today. I feel like I am dragging through til the end of the quarter. Summer where are you? I thought I could taste you but why do I still need sweaters. 
I need to get out of these yoga pants... Dress as a shirt, Tevas (again), and a grey sweater donated by Riley. 

Day 236: Me Day is a Sick Day.

I did not set an alarm last night. 
I slept til 11:30 am. 
I feel so much better. 
Bed days are beautiful. 
When I finally got up to eat, I wore this. 
The dress as a tank-top, yoga pants, Tevas, and an UrbanOutfitters sweater. 
I live in the same clothes daily. Ew.  

Day 235: Tech Part Two.

This show will be beautiful but tech is tiring. 
I need a me day tomorrow. Sickness is a brewing. 
Dress, check.
Target yoga pants, check. 
Goodwill shirt, check. 
Tevas, check. 

Day 234: 9am-10pm.

Bad picture again. But I do not care. 9am to 10pm tech day. 
So. Long. 
Yoga pants and I are moving in together. 
Today they were worn with the dress, Tevas, and a Gap striped sweatshirt. 
Come see RENT in a week! 

Day 233: Cinco De Mayo!

Be safe today kids. 
Drink well. 
I live in yoga pants. And this black dress. And a floral Fossil sweatshirt. And Tevas. 


Day 232: Find Me a Home.

ALEC AND I FOUND A HOME. 
Pluses. Living right by a bus stop and grocery outlet. Close to downtown. Just the two of us. I love him. 
The dress was worn layered udder a pink Nordstroms oversized tank-top, grey Target leggings, Frye boots, vintage blazer, and ModCloth headband. 

Day 231: New Discoveries Part 7.

Bad picture round two... 
On the plus side, 
MAY IS SUCH AN EXCITING MONTH. 
May 2nd. 
I can't remember why today was cool.. But it was. 
The dress was worn simply with a floral ModCloth coverup and with yellow flats. 

Day 230: May Day.

I took an absolutely horrible picture today. Apologies. 
BUT IT IS MAY DAY!! May 1st. Greatness. 
The dress is worn with a Gap jean jacket, home-made scarf out of a t-shirt, Forever21 hat, and Frye boots. 

Day 229: Justin?

I am considering chopping off my hair again. My fear is turning into Justin Beiber again. Worth it? I don't know. Will I do it? I don't know. We will wait for the summer. 
I was feeling dark today. I put of this combo of browns and blacks. Brown tights from Target, brown Frye boots. Black dress, black circle sweater. Excellence. 

Day 228: Put Some Birds On It.

I re-watched Portlandia. Not all of it. Just my favorite episode. 
What came of it. 
Birds.
The dress was layered today under my favorite bird dress, and worn with my yellow flats. Simple and sweet.

Day 227: 90s Night.

This was not the outfit for the night. However it may have been closer than what some of the younger folk think the 90s was like. This was my day look. The dress paired with a yellow Target belt, Target light-brown cardigan, Target grey leggings, Frye boots, vintage blazer, and key necklace. 

I transitioned into a wolf shirt, distressed jeans, and a flannel tied around my waist for 90s night. Win. 

Day 226: Women in Blazers.

I like to pretent to be professional. What screams PROFESSIONAL like a blazer. I know! 
A blazer and a hat. 
Today the dress was paired with a vintage blazer, yellow flats, and a hat my aunt Suzie recently found for me. I. Love. Hats. 

Day 225: I Like Sheer Things.

I have been spending a lot of time on Pinterest. Specifically, I have been spending a lot of time on Pinterest looking at lingerie. This activity inspired todays outfit.
Sheer floral top from Spain, dress as is, and the closest thing I have to hooker boots, my Frye boots. NOTHING HOOKER ABOUT THEM. 

Day 224: Western Wednesday.

I am beginning to realize how many so called "college events" I have missed out on. I recently shot gunned a beer, that was an experience. And today, I thought, I have never had a real Western Wednesday. And I didn't start today. 
Not even the leather jacket and dress combo with yellow flats could even help me pretend. Maybe someday, I will make a better effort... Nah. 

Day 223: Plaid and Berks.

The dress was worn today layered with a patterned plaid shirt donated by Leah, paired with a golden-rod scarf, and Birkenstocks. Sometimes I even out hipster myself. It is days like today I ask myself, "what has't thou done to me Bellingham?"

Day 222: Creep.

Dear Lord. Listen to this. 
http://gawker.com/5903825/this-cover-of-radioheads-creep-will-make-your-ears-orgasm

That is really all I have to say today... 

The dress was worn as a skirt paired with an UrbanOutfitters t-shirt, Gap jean jacket, purple wool Toms, Forever21 sunglasses, and fridge scarf I made from an old mens t-shirt. 

Also, I want these shoes in black 



Day 221: Beth's...

My main goal of coming to Seattle, besides seeing Kallen, was going to Beth's cafe. And I did. 
So. Good. 
I had steak and eggs for breakfast, yeah thats right, steak and eggs. 
I am feeling very country again today. A country hooker maybe... Go big or go home right? 
The dress is worn as a tied tank-top! Something different, yeah! Today it is paired with the shredded jeans, Frye boots, oversized Nordstroms sweater, and key necklace. 


Also, look at this gem. 

Day 220: Oh Ingrid.

I went to Seattle for the day to go to a concert with Kallen. 
The concert, Ingrid Michaelson. 
The best song:

Other highlight of the night:
I like to look good when I travel. 
Dress is still being worn the same way it has been all week, now paired with the Gap jean jacket, floral UrbanOutfitters scarf and Frye boots. 

Today, for dinner, I had Crock and Beer. Good, good night. 

Day 219: 4/20

What do I think of today. 

This. 



Happy National Smoke Weed day. Stay safe friends in the Bellingham area. Do your throats a favor and don't smoke, just go for some vegan edibles. Good for your body, stomach, and mind? 

The week from hell should end on a high note (ha! high...) This post is making me sound like a stoner but I was more than pass and pee test. Maybe I will have more inspiration to get dressed in the coming days. Until then... 
The dress, a dress again, with a Gap jean jacket, vintage key necklace, and wool purple Toms. 

I eat drumsticks at night. 

Day 218: Still Cool Enough for Sweaters.

It may be getting sunny out but it is not time to pack away the sweaters yet. I also packes them all away but kept a few out just. in. case. 

I am most pleased with this choice. 
Today, one was needed. 
The dress was again worn most simply with an UrbanOutfitters sweater of the purple color, UrbanOutfitter shoes, and a vintage necklace. The truth is, I am really too lazy to get dressed. All I want is sweat pants and an oversized sweater shirt. 

Day 217: Can't Take the Hicksville Out of the Girl.

Can this be my home? I love cows. 


Today I call: Simplicity. 
The dress is worn plain with a Forever21 blue scarf and Frye boots. Perfect for runnnnnnning all over town. Side note, ze weatha ist gettin' moist noice. 

Day 216: Imagine.


I am having a very stressful week. Sorry for the short posts that will be surfacing. 
Today the dress is worn as it is most natural paired with a mens Jcrew green cardigan, Frye boots, scarf that was my mothers, and vintage key necklace. 

Day 215: Pattern Barf.

Today's inspiration is brought to you by the wonderful, Man Repeller. But let us start at the beginning, her inspiration. 

Obviously this is going to be good..

Man Repeller take... 

And my turn.. 
Floral, stripe, polka dot, paisley... I think I covered all the bases. 
The dress was worn as a tank-top paired with a grey skirt with striped band donated by Lauren, floral vintage top I got in Spain, paisley scarf that belonged to my mother, and polka dot UrbanOutfitters shoes. Also, I am sporting my new favorite hair style, the top knot! Thank you Ms. Arp.

Day 214: Lily Allen is Always the Answer.

Something I have come to realize over the past few months, Lily Allen has an answer to all of my questions, problems, and concerns. She has a song for everything. You just have to look hard enough. What does this mean, those of you in my life, be ready for constant Gotye, Kimbra, Biggie, and now Lily Allen. Always. All my mixes, they will be there. At least for the next few weeks. 

For those of you who know me best, you know the true reasons for dying my hair a week or two back. And tonight, I am calling on the box dye again. Look to yet another change in hair in the next few days. But this is no drastic change so it is a moving on, not to something new, just moving on... 
The outfit for my study and work day included the dress being worn as a tank top tucked into grey UrbanOutfitters genie pants, paired with Birkenstocks, a Gap striped zip-up hoodie and jean jacket. 

Now I turn to more lonely studying, Lily Allen, and beer until someone joins the study party to make it really fun!

Day 213: I Look Like Kate Gosselin.

 This is Conner. He is wonderful. 
He is helping me put on my wig cap for our Rent filming day. 
And no, I am not showing you my hair and costumes yet. But let me tell you, I look like Kate Gosselin. It is kind of ridiculous. Did we take pictures of me pretending to be drunk and yelling at my eight asian children, yes, yes we did. 

The outfit for the sunny filming day included distressed Nordstroms shorts (I think these are becoming my Saturday wear), the dress being worn as a t-shirt under a vintage red top, paired with Birkenstocks, and a cream knit hat. I haven't knit in a while, I should do that some next week. Maybe that will help my moods... 

Day 212: Mom Jeans.

I had my Rent costume fitting today and I am wearing mom jeans out the yang! It is ridiculous. But I am really excited and nervous to be dancing around in the many layers... I may die of heat by we will see. Only time will tell. I do feel bad for the cast members wearing four scarfs. It is going to be sweaty on stage. I have talked about sweat a lot in my blog posts lately. Gross. 
 The outfit for the day was equally mom-ish with a pair of black high waisted long shorts I got last summer before I went to Europe, paired with the dress being worn as  tank top tucked in (hey! you can see the dress today), a grey UrbanOutfitters vest and floral scarf, Target leather brown belt, and purple Toms. I actually looked nice today, weird. 



Also, I found this gem on the internet today. You're welcome. 

Day 211: Sleeping on Campus, Like a Boss.

I love being "that girl" that sleeps in the Underground Coffee House. I am beginning to embrace it! I need to start bringing a blanket to school with me. 
I almost forgot to take a picture today, hence why the boots are off already but today I was dressed in this ensemble. The dress was worn in its natural form paired with a plaid men's shirt from Goodwill, and Nordstroms leather boots on the side. It is almost the weekend. Almost time for me to be acceptably lazy. 

Day 210: Happy Sibling Day.


Happy Sibling Appreciation Day! 
This is my sister Rachel. I love her dearly. 
 Chances are, she is mad at me for putting this picture on my blog but I love it too much.
 At the Melting Pot in Tacoma. 

 At her Graduation ceremony. 
If we were cartoons. 

I love and miss you greatly Rachel! 
I am clearly happy about the day... I think my pants were just on to tight. The dress is again worn under a sweatshirt (me thinks I may be tired of wearing the dress a little bit...), with my green Boundary Bay sweatshirt over it, paired with Forever21 skinny jeans, and Nike vintage high tops. Half way through the week and I am already exhausted.
