Well, Hello There!

Oh hi.

Remember me?

I have good reasons, I promise!  The first reason is, my camera broke :(. It was only a point and shoot, but still! Last week I went and bought myself a new camera, still can't afford to upgrade to a DSLR, but I am glad to be able to take pictures again!

And the second, and perhaps more important reason, is I started going to OSU full time. It's been pretty crazy. Last week I had my second round of midterms. Woo for higher education!

This past weekend I went to Dayton to visit my sister and we went to a local fashion show. It was hosted at a club and was quite fun. Not being 21 just yet, I ordered myself a Shirley Temple at the bar and felt pretty fancy, despite there being no actual alcohol in my glass.




I wore a Pinup Couture dress that my sister found brand new at the thrift store. Score! I don't know why anyone would give away such a fabulous dress without even wearing it! I got a few compliments at the fashion show, which always makes me smile. I felt kinda self conscious in this dress because it is pretty curve hugging, but the good responses made me a little more comfortable. I did feel very Marilyn-ish. Plus, I thought the Keds were a perfect touch. They are so classic. Marilyn was even a fan of them!

So I made a dress this weekend too! I will be posting about it later this week (hopefully). It's nautical themed. I used a pattern, but made some changes, so I am excited to show you!


Hope you have been having a great Autumn!
