Drop It

 This post has way too many pictures. But I was getting creative!
 So my first week of school is over and done. Want to hear me talk about it? Oh goodie!
I've got a print-making class where I make stamps and stuff, and another print-making class where we focus on the digital side of things. Then a portraiture class where we study the human face, and, well, paint it. Then basic biology and a lab, and marketing! They're all pretty easy, but also pretty time-consuming. I can't wait to share all my work with you guys!
 I'm so glad to be getting back into a routine, because I'm boring and I don't like change. No really. I love break, but I never seem to do the things I want to do until I have no free time!
I reached for a clementine for breakfast this morning, and pulled back green fingers! One of the clementines has molded, and I mean really molded. That citrus was far gone, and I just got the box a week ago! I ate a more intact-looking one, but it was still a disappointment. Especially after having burned myself with my curling iron!
Did you know that when you burn yourself, the cells like burst and die because of the water in them? And you have to put cold water or ice on it quick so it doesn't disperse to your other cells. Because they're hot they kill the cells around them, too! My roomate knows a lot of things and then she tells them to me. I didn't even fact check her, that is how much faith I have. Please don't call me out. Ha.
 Whenever I wear a dress as-is I feel a little guilty. I tell myself, "anyone can wear a dress, it takes talent to style it", when in reality dressing up every day should make you feel good. I'm not sure why I feel like I have to be good at things all the time, I kind of annoy myself!
I've also been watching Ally McBeal like constantly.
dress: fiore boutique
shoes and cardigan: goodwill
Throw me a bone here! It's almost over!

  1. Love the dress! I've always heard you should run room temp over a burn, cold water/ice can also cause the cells to burst. Sorry about your tangerine, I hate it when that happens!

  3. Love the location, the dress, and the shoes! I never knew that's the reason why you put cold water on a burn! I thought it was just because it felt nice! haha. Youre courses sound awesome! Happy Friday!

  4. This dress is so pretty! Love the drop waist. And I really love that sweater! I think the same thing about just wearing a dress plain sometimes but once in a while it's nice to just let the beauty of the dress shine. This is an awesome spot for photos!
    Oh, P.S. I just posted your dress on my blog today :)

  10. See, I really like how simply you are wearing that- it highlights the dropped waist and the bow/scarf/tie thing already on it. But I tend to be like you and have a hard time allowing myself to just wear the dress simply!

  11. Ahh I really love your dress and the shoes and actually just the whole outfit!

  12. I know what your mean when you say you feel like you have to be good at everything haha. It's the same for me--sometimes decent is just not good enough! But this dress looks so pretty on its own and I am absolutely in love with your bag--it's the cutest!

  13. Ally McBeal - now that is a blast from the past! I'm the same way when it comes to being good at everything...oh the curse of being a perfectionist..ha! Anyhow, your classes sound pretty fun - stamp making and portrait painting...yes! It goes without saying - I love how you styled this dress. The little collar is perfection!

  14. haha i think that about dresses too, like i'm always having to put something special w/ it if i can blog it but it's really just silly, esp in your case because it's a really cool vintage looking dress! and that cardi is too cute. do you take marketing and bio for fun? the bio seems so diff from your major! your roommate sounds really funny, i always love when people share random facts like that. glad you're happy to be back to school! http://dusanabotswana.com/

    1. Thanks, Dus!
      Marketing is my minor, and biology is just a gen ed requirement.
