basic SPACE.
Today as I was throwing things around my room in order to find the wallet and keys that I thought I lost, only to discover my purse hanging in plain sight off my desk chair, I realized: my room is an absolute pig sty. I had saved money to spend during my 2 week vacation in Florida, and as I pleasantly discovered, sixty dollars can buy quite a lot of random thrift store goodies. As I not so pleasantly discovered, it can also buy a huge headache when you need to wash, fold, and try to put them all away in closets and drawers that are already bursting. A visit to my room will show that my bookshelves do not even house books anymore, rather I have rows and rows of blue jeans and sweaters crammed into the small space. (My books have been sent to the communal bookshelves in my basement.) My floor is a mess of bills, envelopes, bobby pins, perfume bottles, magazines, hair clips, sunglasses, library books, feather headdresses (yes, really) and tons of other randomness that I can honestly say that I do not even know all that I own because I cannot see it all. Some of my clothing is stored downstairs, some in my attic, and some in my poor grandmother's drawers and closets. I do not like to get rid of anything. Eventually, when I have teenage children, they will be very thankful for this, but it drives my family crazy. I have dreams of downsizing my wardrobe, of choosing basics that I will wear over again in hopes of looking classic and sophisticated instead of too trendy, but my love of clothing always gets the best of me. I have a horrible phobia of being seen in the same outfit- in the same combination- twice. I know, I'm crazy. This is why I also have about seven cream colored sweaters when only two (or maybe three) are necessary. My goal for the rest of the summer is to get two bags of clothing that I know I really won't wear anymore and either open up an online store or donate them to Goodwill. I also want to be able to have a desk that I can sit at, with organized drawers and a system for my accessories that makes them all accessible. Hey, a girl can dream...

A quick post of what I wore to my 9 year 8th grade reunion... thrifted skirt worn as dress ; dollar store scarf worn as belt ; forever 21 feather necklace ; handmade, 2dollarjewelry, and thrift bracelets ; target wedges (not pictured). I'd try to begin to tell you how much I loved my grammar school and all the friends I made there, but that's a whole other story :)

loving the library.
A quick collage of the goings on in my life:
Went to the library (blockbuster WHO) to get some free rentals. Walked away with Mirrors, Wendy and Lucy, Silkwood, and Rendition. I think I'm going to pop in Silkwood tonight, as I love vintage Cher. Lately I have been on a beading frenzy. These are some of my new bracelets that I have made- and the one on the bottom left is a dream catcher one that I am making a bunch more of and will put in my shop soon. Also pictured is my hand- as you can see I have a new found love of wearing toe rings (ewww) on my actual fingers. They fit just right above my knuckle and I'm digging the look. Finally- my latest Polyvore. Wish I had everything in this picture. ::sigh::

spring
new season... new haircut... new necklace.
This past weekend was completely gorgeous and lifted my spirits, hopefully into a more productive mood. As soon as I saw this necklace on F21, I knew it had to be mine. It sure is a statement piece.
glasses, necklace and jeans: f21 / shoes: thrifted / shirt: handed down from my friend Kelly.
