Mustard Ring | Mascara or Motoroil

puffy sleeves

Here’s another little ensemble from last week. I just picked this adorable dress up at the store a few days before and was stoked to try it out. I got a ton of compliments on it, but I think I could have made a cuter total look out of this dress. However, I was running late for work and trying to stay warm. I have to walk a ways from the bus stop, and it’s always freezing and super windy, so I combat that as much as I can. The library is not exactly the warmest place either.

This was my gramma's charm bracelet but it's too cool not to be a focal piece. I just looped a silver chain through the existing clasps to make it long enough.

It's not perfect, but my gramma would be so proud of this bow. She thinks it's a very important skill.

same thing, different day

Since I’m still kind of sick and unfortunately had to work, I was hoping to optimal comfort and warmth. I think I did pretty well. Surprisingly, my feet didn’t hurt me all day!

That face is because my pup was leaping around the bed in a frenzy.

These are the earrings I made with the leftover buttons from the neon green dress I altered! (October 24 post)

She just couldn't control herself any longer.

Oh no! One of my favorite rings broke this morning! Luckily, I think my old friend super glue can help me out.

Well I’m hoping with a lot of sleep I can knock this thing out, so I’m off to bed! Take it easy.

the boy’s birthday

Since yesterday was my very sweet, handsome boyfriend’s birthday we went out with a few friends to our favorite restaurant, the always delicious Rio Grande. It’s this little Mexican place with unbelievably cheap and awesome food and GIANT margaritas. If you live in Cincinnati and have never been there, you are doing yourself a serious disservice.

Anyway, the best part of the evening was definitely him opening the little plush Cthulhu I made for him. Cthulhu, if you’ve never heard of him, is a mythical evil sea monster guy from and H.P. Lovecraft story. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu)

surprise!!

As you can see from the picture, that night I debuted my little pink ballerina dress, gray scarf, and saddle shoes. It was the same outfit I posted a week or so ago when I bought that dress, so I didn’t think I needed to redo it.

I went for warmth today since there was a pretty nasty wind. I love how the color of this sweater looks on me, but I hardly ever wear it. I have a bad habit of forgetting that I own sweaters due to the fact that I have to keep all my heavy stuff like that in my living room closet. The dinky hanging one I have in my room is always about to collapse as it is. Tangent. Anyway, as much as I love the pocket watch necklace I’m wearing, it is a perfect example of why I usually don’t shop at Urban Outfitters. It cost almost $25, which is honestly way more than I usually pay for jewelry, but I loved it so I bought it. Less than a month after I got it, it stopped keeping time, and then shortly after that the second hand just fell off and now lies in the bottom of the face. Annoying. But I do totally love the funky closure on the leather belt I’ve got on, and I got it for $1! And I got the jacket for free!
