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 :)

i've got the blues.

These are the most recent additions to my ring collection, and clearly I am into the blue/silver colors for this summer. I've also discovered one of my new favorite websites for jewelry- 2dollarjewelry.com, where everything is... you guessed it... 2 dollars. My boyfriend treated me to some pieces for my birthday, and all the rings except for the turquoise one on my middle finger (ebay) are from that website. Got some great bracelets and necklaces from there too, which I will post later. I can't reccommend the site enough for when you need a cheap fix.

The Wonder Years

I'm twenty three. Well, I have been now for a few days already. What a weird time in my life... I still feel in many ways like I am 18, and looking like I am much younger than that doesn't help either. The eve of my birthday was as low key as I wanted it to be. We headed to the local bar and I brought Nancy Drew madlibs, where we celebrated with beers, grilled cheese, chocolate cake shots and dirty adjectives and adverbs. The next day brought a bit of window shopping and a trip to the thrift store, where I scored the perfect vintage t-shirt and pendleton wool jacket. Then, some of my old college pals (wooah) came and we went to the Fireplace for MORE grilled cheese, onion rings and root beer floats. Followed by an evening of hardcore dancing fueled by $3 land sharks. Here's hoping my 23rd year is the best yet.
