If you haven't noticed, I I would be far more likely to be found guilty of having one (who are we kidding, three) too many accessories on than one too few. Not today. Today I woke up. And just wanted it to be easy. So I belted a shirt. Found a necklace(that you cant see, but is really cute... )and ONE bangle that matched and saved the stress for something else. Like styling my bangs. I promise that flyaway was not straightened like that. It is the result of reading glasses being taken on and off all day. Or for the my friend who told me he liked my shoes, then asked me if I paid four dollars for them?

...uh...

To be honest I paid 150% of that for them thank you very much. He knows about the blog though so I'm just going to tell my shoes that excuse to spare their feelings.

Oh and turns out I was almost twinks with Linley at Dwelling and Twelling. Oh to be so cool...

Two steps forward or one step back.

Today our weather decided to go back to February. We also had a send of breakfast for the seniors at my church, and with all the talk about the upcoming year I found myself standing on the edge of my high school experience. I felt like being like the weather and rewinding time for a little while and hoping no one notices.

One of my favorite quotes is

"Faith is trusting you will be given solid groud to stand on or taught to fly." Well, I have a feeling that I have been getting flight lessons all this time while on solid ground, from that amazing woman up there, from my mother, from her dear friends, from my dear friends, from older girls who have flown before me, and from my savior who flies before me and with me always. So what am I scared about? I have a feeling I should be alot more terrified after the next graduation.  What are your experiences with graduations?

and PS. Shoes for walking the stage, have to be black closed toed. I would prefer heeled for vanity but would like to be able to walk confidently and not tumble across the stage. any ideas?

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!
