Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades

Hi guys! And hi from my bellybutton, too. In the past I was the first to say that showing off your mid drift is the opposite of classy. But I've come around! Showing my bellybutton makes me an eensy bit nervous, but I plan on wearing this with skirts that come up higher than these shorts in the future. And really, how could I resist this shirt? When I put it on I swear I heard a chorus of heavenly angels. Really.
I wore these sequined Converses to my junior prom and thought I was the coolest thing since sliced bread. Speaking of prom, here's a story from my senior year:
They had fishies in vases on all the tables. I remembered my math teacher telling us a story about how when she helped set up for past proms, they made her flush all the goldfish that were in a decoration fountain. I was determined not to let these fish meet the same fate. When it was time to leave, I grabbed a vase and stuffed it under my date's coat and walked right out. I passed my principal and he just smiled and handed me a free waterbottle! I named the fish Tom Cruise because I thought I was a spy like Mission Impossible.
Anyway, once I got the fish home I realized there were initials on the bottom of the vase. The prom committee had already claimed these fish! I felt so guilty I turned myself into the teacher in charge of it all. And lucky me, she said she had plenty extra and gave me another one.
Both those fish are now dead.
 I love this bag. It's got like, heiroglyphics on it! I got a new camera for my birthday (and my Mom and sister took me on a wonderful, big thrifting trip!) and these are the first pictures I did myself with the self timer! WOO! I am so excited to be able to take my own photos, now I can share DIYs with you guys!
 Like my dragonflies?

      Fish aren't the best pets, huh? They're not even cuddly.
