SURPRISE

Shirt: thrifted

Scarf: XXI

Jeans:LOFT clearance

shoes: old...

I made a big hair move.It took alot of therapy to get me here. Inspiration from celebs, talking with everyone about it, and even chickening out a couple times. If you read my conversation to my best friend while I was in the chair you would really be concerned about just how attached I am to my hair.  And I am not 100% used to them yet. I do love them for this though. The entertainment of confusing people who ask me if I got a haircut. " oh... well you look different today. " "really?"

This is also my outfit for Bloggers Do It Better and I am so excited to see the other looks! All of this talk about the wedding, how can you not want to wear white?

And for the most awkward picture ever...

I have had noon arrival allll week this week and combined with pm off the only way it could get any better is if I didn't have to go at all. Oh and if I didn't have to watch a documentary on the history of the water supply of lasvegas. yeah they have really made one. and yeah I really took a quiz on it. I spent one of my mornings watching the lifetime movie of the royal wedding. And now I feel like I am Kate's bff, and have been along for the whole ride. And I guess you could say I was inspired by her and her unmatched hat wearing abilities for today's accessory. Haven't decided if it would be best to stay up late or wake up early to watch the coverage... what are your plans?

OH! and check out these olive flip flops, 4.99 at sears, and compare them to their $25 Jcrew counterpart...

Can you tell it is windy here?Cause it is. and Stormy. TV coverage has been following tornados all evening all week. Cut off my glee. In both meanings of the word. SO this outfit may just be inspired by somewhere I wish I could be. Where I am watching the sunset not tv and the wind in my hair is wonderful not a pain.

Before I ate my weight in egg shaped candy.

This is what I wore to church. Which was an amazing service. Always one of my favorite of the year because it it so celebratory of the miracle of this day. I then went home and changed into jeans for the second half of my day which was spent eating and hanging out with family. I didnt get a picture of the eating as we had already eaten it before I thought of it but here is some of the hanging.

We hunted eggs, we played games you know, the usual. If you follow me on twitter, you may have seen the picture of my mother in her batter stance. If you don't follow me on twitter, that's the kind of gold you are missing. ( @hayleyrabe ;) ) My girl Cam up there was such a cute little ball player. Like she just made up her own bases and ran where she sure felt like it. She also had no problem explaining that she found most easter eggs fair and square, in her brothers basket. You see, she far more enjoyed posing for the pictures everyone was taking than actually running for the eggs. 

 This is my grandma a few years back on Easter and so joyful. I think she has the right idea.

 

More important than my stupid outfit

HE IS RISEN!!! Happy Easter!

Honky Tonk and Polka Dots

A peek at my weekend.

Friday Night baseball game, followed by some country dancing at the worlds largest honky tonk.

 

It is called Billy Bobs, ever heard of it? If you re ever in Texas it is something you must do, call me, Ill go with you. and try the line dancing thing. It isn't as hard as it looks.  I cant believe I have gone 18 years of my life without this place. We saw Luke Bryan, who is such a cutie and was so fun. and those girls I'm with,they're rock stars. The blonde on the left is my future roomie next year. and even though our closet will be the size of my sock drawer, I cant wait for all the memories we will make together. The other is going to a school not too far, but too far to see as often as I would like. I like Billy Bobs might just have to be our new tradition.

I thrifted this polka dot blazer. I didn't even try it on. I had just gotten an MRI and was rushed and tired but I scored.

And it makes me feel like I'm kendi.

This is my outfit for days when it is raining.

When people are being rude to everyone just to be rude

When I have a surprise 100 question test

when my room and bathroom and car and purse are all a complete mess.

When I just have to hold it together for the rest of today, because tomorrow, sweet tomorrow, starts the partying.

This is my thank goodness is Friday on a Thursday because I couldn't have made it to the real one outfit.

So in the last post I revealed I guess to some of you that I was a highschooler still. Please don't like me any less. Not that y'all are that mean or anything. I sometimes just feel a little out of the group because of my youth. Like the puppy trying to roll with the big dogs. But this is me. In all my highschoolness, at least for 7 more weeks. I cant change it. I'm not going to lie about it. at least not on blogger, no guarantees for spring break. ( just kidding, mom. ) So bear with me, I promise I do not dress like it, nor (more importantly) act like it. Very often at least. :)

Stepping off one soapbox and onto another. It is HOTHOTHOT in Tejas. Holy Guacomole. The jeans might just be retiring for the season.

Dressing Up to Get Down.

Last night/ this morning was my senior prom. and I can honestly tell you it didnt live up to my expectations. I wasnt expecting much, and it beat them by a long shot.  Im not the type of girl who lives for school dances. Who is convinced that her prom night will be the best night of her life. The day of getting ready was full of mini disasters and I wondered what I was getting myself into.  I went in thinking it would be awkward with alot of standing around in uncomfortable shoes. Instead I was too busy dancing to bother with the shoes. Exausted doesnt even begin to describe my state since pulling in around 6 this morning so ill stop the blabbering. Here is what I wore, and some people who I love very much.

Dress: JCP Jewelry: Sam Moon except earrings, handmade with vintage buttons.

I wish you could all try on this skirt. The brand is Trulli (? I googled it, no results, but it looks super spensive) and it is so amazingly beautiful. Fits perfect and is a wonderful silk to boot. Cant wait to dress it up with some pink and wear it to church.
