Pinspiration, #2

Well, hello there lovelies. I'm glad to say, I've made it through another year of college. It's actually really mind boggling to me that I've already been in school for three years.. seems like just yesterday I was moving into my freshman dorm. My little break was much needed though, three exams in less than 24 hours was not a fun thing to study for, and I was having serious trouble falling asleep. I think I just have way, way too much on my mind, but you'll be glad to know.. I had one heck of a nap yesterday afternoon. Warning in advance, I'm sorry if this post is random and ramble-y.. or if words are misspelled and sentences don't quite make sense. My brain is still in finals mode. AKA: blaaaaaah. 

Anyway! My second Pinspiration (you can check out my first one, here) was one that I knew I could do right away, well.. it took me like three minutes to realize I had a scarf pretty much exactly like the one in the photo, I always forget about scarves.. there just aren't too many opportunities to wear them in Texas. But, I am really digging getting to wear a bright color with all my neutrals! Plus, I got to wear my mocs with a dress for the first time, yeah, you can bet your bottom dollar this will be happening a lot. Seriously, they are the most comfortable shoes on the face of the planet.

I think Curtis likes this dress, because he always compliments me when I wear it, no matter how I do it. It's quite cute. We went shopping for some clothes/swim trunks for him for the honeymoon yesterday, it's getting so close but somehow, it still seems so surreal! Packing for a cruise is actually really difficult you guys. You have to bring fancy clothes, swimwear, lounge clothes, nicer..but not too nice clothes, ahhh.. it's too much for me, the girl who over-packs for a weekend trip! I am planning on doing a packing post next week though, maybe it'll help me organize a little better?
Oh, I wanted to thank all of you for your kind words on my last post. You all are so, so supportive, and I am so thankful for having found such a fantastic group of women here. I love reading all of the sweet comments everyday, some make me tear up (okay.. bawl like a baby), others make me crackup so much that Curtis thinks I'm a crazy person, but I love reading them so very much. So, thank you all for the friendship you have shown me! I kind of can't believe I hit 100 followers over the weekend, it made studying a little bit more manageable. I'm so happy to have started this blog, and I know it can only get better from here! Love you guys!
Have a happy, happy Wednesday! For those of you still taking finals, good luck and study hard!

I'll just leave this here.. And yes, Muggles has a butterfly tramp stamp.

Skirts & Such

Honestly, I love skirts. I hadn't realized it until earlier this year, but I really do. I've got quite a collection already, and all I want to do is find more to add to it. Although, before this blog, it was hard to justify purchasing a skirt, but I sort of made the decision that I'm just going to wear skirts whenever I feel like it. Even though every time I do wear a skirt, I get asked why I'm wearing one, I'm on a mission to change the world. Just like hats, I wish we could go back to a time when it was completely normal to wear skirts and dresses everyday. Don't get me wrong, I do love a good day in my favorite pair of blue jeans, but there's something about a skirt.

I literally love everything about this outfit. Chambray, obviously it's a clear favorite; bright pleated skirt that is actually long enough to not feel like you're about to flash everyone, yes please; comfortable flats that I wish I could wear every single day? Yep, got those too. It may be simple, but it's my kind of outfit. Oh, and this skirt is another one of my Austin finds from a few weeks ago. I wore this to my bachelorette party (before I knew what was going on), and even though I changed later, I would've been completely happy just wearing this. 

My bachelorette party was lots of fun. They snuck me away to Austin/San Marcos, we went to eat at a swanky restaurant downtown, then we walked around for a bit, listening to some cool bands, then proceeded to have a night full of fun girliness. It was like a big slumber party, something my friends and I haven't gotten to have in such a long time, I loved it. Then, Saturday morning, they took me horseback riding, I was jumping for joy the entire way there (not literally jumping.. seeing as that probably wouldn't be safe inside a car..or on a horse for that matter). My horse's name was Snickers, and Snickers liked to try and eat everything possible, it was kind of ridiculous, but hey.. sounds kind of like my beagle, so it fit. On the way back, most of us stopped at IKEA and had loads and loads of fun looking around and pretending we were sleeping on the beds and couches just to see what other people would do.. that place is stinking awesome.

Hope you ladies had a great weekend. Most of my weekends from now until the wedding are jam packed with things to do. I'm hoping I can survive..haha.
