Mud

 WOAH hello there!

Today I am wearing another one of my pretty pretty presents! I've been in love with this dress ever since I first saw it on modcloth, and it happened to go on sale just before Christmastime! So YAY.

 To take these pictures, I trekked out to the creek in my backyard. Oh yeah, did I tell you I have a creek in my backyard? It supplied me and my friends with plenty of entertainment when we were little. We used to go on adventures in the woods. Once I climbed up a tree (that was growing at a 45 degree angle) and dropped to the other side to retrieve one of my shoes. Then my Dad had to come and retrieve me cause I got stuck.

 Anyway, it rained recently and so the water was high and the ground was swampy. I first came out here in my heels. Missssstake.
I got some mud on my white socks, too, which was kind of annoying, but if you can't wear your clothes tromping around in your own backyard, what can you wear them for?

 On a more personal-I-like-talking-about-myself note, I was thinking about operating under pressure. I used to consider myself someone who works well under high stress. But you know what? I really don't. When I'm folding something at work and a customer asks for help, I kindof panic and can't figure out what to do. I finish all my school work way ahead of time, and when it comes to exam time I freak out like "OMG there's so much to do and so little tiiiiiiiimmmee!"
That's not to say I don't work fast. I get things done way quicker than my classmates and end up with plenty of freetime. But that's done on my own terms, time-wise.
Do you guys handle stress well?

 dress: Modcloth

belt, boots, zebra pin: Goodwill

coat: Wet Seal

Also, It's the New Year! I'm not usually one to put all my personal stuff up on the internet. My introspection doesn't normally go beyond that stuff I just wrote about handling stress (or me complaining about something haha), so my resolutions will probably have a page to themselves in my sketchbook. Maybe being more open about myself here on the blog should be one of them!

Hope you guys had a happy new years eve! Mine was low key-I cuddled a lot and ate gummies.
