brights and stripes.

I think I need a new hobby. Without homework to do, I have nothing to make me feel guilty for not doing it. So now I spend way too much time watching sitcoms that border on soap operas, and reading adolescent fiction. I can almost feel my mind turning to mush.

So I'm open for any suggestions! What cheap hobbies do you lovelies fill your time with?

In other news, I love this skirt! It feels a bit tight around the belly and butt areas, which makes me feel slightly self conscious, but I love the length. I think I would like it a bit better with a long necklace or some bangles,  but the colors and stripes are my favorite!

ps. I am so so soooo excited to be guest posting on Elaine's blog today, talking about my thoughts on modesty, and how to make it your own! Make sure you check it out and share your thoughts!

I get feelings.

Today I've been feeling a little bit like this...

see, Justin is hiding in the closet from my grumpiness.

Then I took a quick jaunty (is that even a word or did I make it up?) over to Gentri Lee's blog, were she gave me a lovely little feature this week, and began to feel like this...

can you see a smile coming on?

Then I continued to read all of the sweet little comments left for me there, and I slowly started feeling more and more like this...

Have you guys ever met Gentri Lee? She is so happy, lovely and delightfully authentic! I'm so flattered to have received her blogger of the week award! You can check out my guest post on her blog here!

ask the duplex!

Hey guys! Today I asked a very important question over at ask the duplex; a really fun blog, where Monica and Whitney post questions about what is and isn't appropriate to wear.

I think it is such a fun idea, and today I asked a question about something near and dear to my heart. As anyone who has ever seen Steve would know, I have a love for childish...ness, especially in my accessories!

See the post here, and tell me what you all think!

Shellsea over at "Love Shellsea" is very busy this week moving in to a new space, so I was lucky enough to get to do a guest post for her while she gets settled in. Catch me gabbing about belts and lipstick HERE!

Speaking of blog writing, have you guys ever been to the rodeo and seen the event when they try to catch the little calf and tie its feet as fast as they can and shoot their arms out to side as soon as they finish? I've realized it's alarmingly similar to how I write a post. I click the last key and shoot my hands out to the side, and shout "DONE" at the top of my lungs, then wait for Justin to clap, or congratulate me for how fast I've done it. :) Seriously though, I get such a feeling of accomplishment when I'm done, and I don't even need a horse. So there cowboy. So there.

It case you had any doubts that I'm a little weird, this picture should put those to rest.

This is what happens when you try to take outfit pics and talk to your neighbor at the same time.
