COEXIST

T-shirt: Thrifted, Cardigan: Target, Jeans: H&M, Shoes: Converse

Once again, message t-shirt. This one's pretty important though, in my humble opinion. Coexistence=Happiness.

Personally, I like this Coexist logo better:

But shopping at Value Village, sometimes you gotta make do.



When I grow up, I wanna be Jess from New Girl

If you haven't been following the new comedy New Girl yet, I would highly recommend doing so. The main character is a quirky and supremely awkward girl named Jess (with her own self-written theme song) and an adorable sense of style. She completely reminds me of myself (probably because of the fact that Dirty Dancing is her favorite romance) and shows me that I can still be cool and weird when I get older and get a job. I know you're all gonna go out and watch the first two episodes now, so I will say no more.

On an entirely unrelated note, I saw someone wearing these at the Rennaisance Festival the other day and I kinda freaked out:

I truly don't understand the appeal of Uggs. They're kinda warm and comfy, and they look pretty good with leg warmers. But with swearpants or jeans tucked in? Um....no.

These ones, however, are shiny and covered in sequins. Meaning that if I were to find a cheap knockoff pair they would probably become a new edition to my wardrobe.

They're just SO SHINY.

And I'm done.



Garden Hippie

Black top: H&M, Ankh Necklace: Minnesota Rennaisance Festival, Dress(worn as a skirt): Thrifted, Scarf: gift from my Dad, Gladiator sandals: ICING

These pictures evoked a vision of my possible future: weeding my vegetable garden while wearing my hand-woven dresses and worshipping my Egyptian gods. Also, promoting absolute peace. Oh wait. That's me right now. Well, maybe not the hand growing and weaving parts.........

The lace top is H&M and I found it rolled into a little ball in my Christmas stocking last year. That flowery skirt you see poking out from beneath the scarf I tied around my waist is actually a dress I bought at Value Village, but it has an incredibly awkward bust-runching thing and therefore looks much better on voluptuous hips with something on top of it. I had an AP test on Ancient Egypt today, and I'm pretty sure I subconsciously believed that the Ankh necklace I bought this weekend would bring me luck when I put it around my neck this morning. Guess we'll have to wait for the test results to find out for sure.

I feel like I'm really getting better at these self-portraits. Maybe I do have a future in this?? We'll see. I guess I gotta just keep dressing weird, capturing it on film, and writing about it. There comes a point when if you do this enough people start looking at it, right?





My apologies, but I can no longer afford to have a social life

Headband: H&M, Sunglasses: Thrifted, Black top: H&M, Red plaid button-down: Dehlia's, Ankh Necklace: Minnesota Rennaisance Festival, Belt: Claire's, Jeans: H&M, Shoes: Target

Whoo, total bedroom revealer right here. The lighting in there was so cool though, I just couldn't resist. Experimenting more with the tripod and lights, whaddya think? I'm really starting to have fun with this!

Oh yes, and even my breakfast is becoming more creative:



Comin' Home

I always feel like such a generic teen girl when I post pictures of myself at school dances. Aren't I supposed to be an anti-social cave dweller who hates popular, normal-people activities? No. As a matter of fact, I love people, and I love my school. Also, it's fun to stand out in a sea of average at these things. This was one of the most fun photoshoots I've ever done, and now I'm going to bother you with my pathetic teenage-girldom. Put up your estrogen shields. It's gonna be a bumpy ride.

Photo credits go to my mother (a professional portrait photographer), the other parents, and Maddie (the girl in the blue dress who is with me in many photos)

This was homecoming by the way. I think I forgot to mention that earlier.
