Short Hiatus

So I am taking week long hiatus, so I can study for finals and not feel bad or obligated to post or take pictures. I have finals Tuesday and Friday, then after that Im free until Summer semester which starts in June. Thanks for all being supportive. Once I'm done there will be a lot more interesting DIY and posts.
Also, I was not accepted into the Nursing program. I saddened me, but things happen for a reason. I will have time to finish up more of my core classes for my bachelors, so all is good. Thanks again, see you in a week or so.

As you may already know, I am anxiously waiting to get the acceptance, or rejection letter for the nursing program. I have been trying to tell myself over and over, its okay, if I dont get in I will just finish my few core classes towards me bachelors. I have been trying to make myself believe that it will be be okay. Yes, it will be, but I will honestly be distraught. I really was not sure whether I should talk about it on my blog or not, but we are a supportive community, so I feel I should be honest and I can express my worry over it. I have been taught that things happen for a reason, so if I don't get in, there is a reason for it. I am more afraid of the feeling of being rejected. No one likes that feeling. I am patiently waiting for the mail to come already so I can get this over with, I sure hope it comes today. Wish me luck! Have a great day.

Spring Blues

 

So, it has been pretty chilly lately, which is not necessarily uncommon, but it is unwanted. Georgia definitely is very bipolar. haha. Anyways, I got this jacket from H&M in NY about a year 1/2 ago. It was on sale and I instantly loved it. Not only is it cute and fits good, but its not black, which is a color I migrate to. 

As always, when I take pictures in my backyard you may see some with a dog walking in it or maybe even sitting there. These are my boys. Beau, the Black Lab and Link, the Siberian Husky. Beau is about 5 years old and Link is only about 7-8 months. They are completely different. Beau is more relax and lazy, very friendly and loving. Link is a licker, a digger, and very independent. He has his moments when he is loving and wants attention, but the majority of the time he rather be outside. Beau wants to be inside with us all the time, unless he has to go potty. We are trying to walk them regularly, but they prefer running, and to be honest I'm not quite fit enough to run nonstop up and down the hills in my neighborhood. I can jog a bit, but its hard on my knees, that and they pull. I'm trying to teach them to stay by our side, but I am the only one who knows how to make them and they listen to. Beau weighs as much as I do, so he is a handful and Link weighs less, so hes easier to control. Anyways, I have more studying to do, only two more weeks!! Yay. Have a great day!

Maxi Dress: Target (ON SALE)/ Bangles: Forever21/ Necklace: Avenue

I have to first say how much I love Maxi dresses, even though this is my one and only. They are so comfortable and easy to wear. I especially love how this one has POCKETS! (As I have mentioned before, I love pockets in dresses and skirts.) I would have more, but most tend to be too long for me and I dont have too much time to hem them. If only they would think more about the short people. haha. I don't know if I mentioned before, but I am only 5'1. I am very petite yet a bit curvy. Not super easy to find things that fit "right".
Anywho, I am so tired today, probably from having to get up at 6 am for work. I need like 9 hours of sleep. I am such an old lady. I go to bed early and wake up some what early. I use to joke how I was an old lady in disguise, lol. Well I hope you enjoy the photos. Please leave feedback. Also, no one has yet said whether they would like to have a chance to win one of my DIY ducktape necklaces... So does that mean no one cares? lol Let me know, it'd be highly appreciative. Thanks, enjoy your weekend.

1/16

No, 1/16 is not a special date, it is how much I am a Cherokee. I have always had some tie to my lineage. From always loving nature, to my cheek bones, to my way to connect with my family via thought signals, and from my way of always finding my way. There are many of things that amaze me about other cultures. But my lineage makes me even more curious. I want to connect more to it. When my sister came from OK, she told me little about our family. She told me that I am related to a chief, how amazingly cool is that? She also told me that in some schools they are teaching their students to speak Cherokee. Hopefully one day soon I will be able to explore OK and learn even more. Until then, I will connect through my choice of fashion. I have been drawn to dream catcher necklaces, feathered necklaces/hair pieces, moccasins, Geo print, fringe, etc. Not because it is what is "in" but I feel more connected, I guess. Do you have any interesting lineage, that inspires your wardrobe?

Hey Girl, Take a Walk on the Wild Side.

Today is my first day off. Finally!! Sadly I have to spend it studying and buying groceries. Technically I'm not completely off. I am on call, but hopefully they wont need me. Anyways, This weekend was pretty good. The store was really busy, which helped make time go by faster. I had date night with Hubby Saturday and then we ate Breakfast Sunday at IHOP.
I've been playing the first Resident Evil on our PS3. At first I was a little reluctant to play, not very confident in my zombie killing skills. haha, That and not knowing whats next kind of scares me. However, my mom is also playing. She is playing as Chris, and I am playing as Jill (She is a lot easier, too). So I have watched her play and then I have an idea of what to expect, though the story lines are a tad different. I have gained more confident, but I still get a little anxious. Any of you fashion bloggers play video games? I have to be honest and say I've been a zombie lover since I was 7. I would watch my mom play Resident Evil and was totally in awe. Later I'd go outside and pretend I was killing zombies with my stick gun...haha oh the things we do when we are young.Well enough zombie talk, for now... Have a great Monday.

Working Girl

So today I have to work, 12-5, no biggy. The only thing is that I'm realizing already how working and finding time to study are not going to be an easy task. But I only have about 3 more weeks, so I think I can manage. Working is pretty good. Retail is retail is retail. I like working at a children's clothing store, because I am a sucker for kids. That is why I am considering being a Pediatrics Nurse. I know it wont be easy, but really no Nursing field is, unless its in a doctors office, and that too can be challenging. Anyways, I hope you enjoy your weekend!

Have a Heart

So, as you already know, today is FRIDAY! Yay! Its not as exciting to me now that I have a job, because that means I have to work. But I am happy that the job hunting process went pretty quick for me,I was very very lucky! I have a lot to do before the semester is up. I have to study study study, cross my fingers that I am excepted into the the Nursing Program, and try not to get lazy.
On another note, I took some pictures for you guys. Is it just me or when you take pictures you expecct them to look one way and they come out not how you pictured... I think as fashion bloggers, we have to learn to almost be a model, so that our pictures are appealing and turn out flattering. Well anyways, enough rambling, Have a great day/ Friday/ Weekend!

I also wanted to make a statement. Last night I was going through these and other photos and my Hubby was sitting beside me. For some reason I felt insecure about him looking at them, even though he sees me all the time, the good, the bad, and the ugly. So, it made me think, why am I being insecure about something so silly? Why even be insecure when everyday he says how beautiful I am? I have been fighting insecurities my whole life. Whats funny is even when I try to be confident and not let others comments or wondering eyes affect me, I become more insecure. Why are we, as women and men, so easy to judge others, when we hate to be judged? Why can't we all just support each other, flaws and all. We all have our own opinions, style, choices, so why are we so quick to judge? We as humans, judge what we see as "different" or not the "norm", but what makes what we think is the "norm" the norm? Society is the answer. So I challenge you. Stop the judging, even just thinking "What is she wearing?!" we need to me more conscious about. When you think that, Stop, and think something positive about the person, like "Wow she has some guts, that is and admiring attribute." Just a thought. I do this sometimes, make myself stop when I think such things. It really is our own insecurities playing the little devil on our shoulders. Once we can support others, we will be able to be secure about ourselves.
