The music’s too loud and the noise from the crowd
Increases the chance of misinterpretation
So let your hips do the talking
I’ll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings
And you’ll make me smile by really getting into the swing

— Kings of Convenience, “I’d Rather Dance With You”

May finally have the courage to buy this dress but the question is green or blue (I am leaning more toward green!)

Been looking at this sweater/sweatshirt for a while and feel like it is something that I would wear over and over again.

I know that it is only June but I feel the need to make my list of must haves for fall and a Moleskine is one of the things that I feel that I will definitely need!

Growing UP

I have barely been home for three weeks, and already I am ready to go back to Urbana-Champaign.  My mother wants me to act like an adult, but she continues to see me as a child.  I rarely ask her for money unless I really need it, and I rarely ask her for help with anything unless its to use her ipass.  She rarely gives Branden anything to do, she yells at me because I don’t vacuum, clean the bathroom (that we both share), doing the dishes, or cutting the grass.  All things that by the time I was Branden’s age I was doing, but he gets away with doing so less and getting paid more allowance.  She needs to let me go somewhat, I get tired of doing the things she asks me without even so much as a good job or a thank you.

But she wonders why I don’t do the things she asks of me like for example, clean your room.  Majority of the time my room is clean but the one day I let it get dirty I hear shit about it for weeks on end, and even after I clean my room I still hear about how it is dirty.  But her room is always dirty.  I don’t want to tell her, but I don’t think that I will be moving back in with her after I graduate just because she will treat me like a child, and I can’t handle it.  I like my space, I like my freedom, I like doing what I want when I want to.  But she constantly expects me to change my plans to fit hers, I think that it is a shock for her to discover that I have friends that actually want to hang out with me and see me, and I have a boyfriend that enjoys spending time with me.  So I am not here at her beck and call to constantly watch Branden.  I understand that she is in a relationship but so am I, and she has had her time to be young and now it is mine, so please don’t talk about how I am being selfish, because if I remember correctly this is the time in my life where I get to be selfish, and have fun and not think about the consequences because I am in my early twenties and I am going to act like, and I am not going to change my self to fit her standards.  And I sure as hell don’t want to go to the fucking family reunion.

Venturing into the Uncharted

I am still trying figure out my style, I am having a hard time pin pointing it!  I like alot of vintage pieces, and I love the way they dressed back then but then again, I love some of the modern styles of today, this dilemma has just left me confused.  There is so many ways I can take my fashion.  But I figured out that to pin point my fashion sense, I may need to step outside of my comfort zone for a little bit and find what I truly like.  So I have the rules that I would hopefully follow:

1) NO sweatpants to class, I need to put more effort into my look and how I present myself to the outside world!

2) Treat yourself to one manicure a month.  The manicure should last at least a good two weeks, so the other two weeks just allow your nails to breathe!!

3) Don’t be afraid to try new colors and new prints.  Try stuff on before making a judgement about it.

Along with those rules I have come to realize what I do like in clothing:

1) soft fabric; if fabric is soft and most likely will buy it

2) flats; i like them in many different colors and styles

3) sweaters; I love sweaters they are one of my biggest weaknesses

4) Hats, scarves, gloves; I love winter time accessories!

5) My sunglasses; I feel as if they are so retro and modern, and they will always be timeless!

So here i am on my quest to find my style wish me look, and lots of stylish choices!
