Follower and Followed

I know in reality, when I log on to my blog, there aren't any people listening to what I have to say, I know that I'm an unknown person, talking about a life that you don't truly care about, but when I log on, that's not the first thing I think of.

I look at the people whom I'm following, I see their creations and I feel as if I'm communicating to them through my writings, and their communicating back through their pictures. I love it.

I don't feel alone in this, even though I know that I am.

It's a highlight of my day to log on and see what you all have been creating with your minds and wardrobes. I am inspired and filled with what you all are doing.


Thanks for being a more grown-up version of imaginary friends.

A Few Favs

I can't get over this new Owl obsession. I'm so glad that fashion is going this way.

I can't get the pictures up here yet, but hopefully soon I will.
For now then, here are the links : Owl dangles, and Owl studs.

Honestly, how great are they? I love love love them
And they're such a good buy! Not too expensive at all.
What's stopping me then? I don't have my ears pierced. And even though I really really really want to get 'em pierced, my parents won't have it. AARRGH

It saddens me, because I could have so many more accessories to choose from if I could just wear earrings.

Still... I hold onto the hope that they will waiver on this decision and I'll be able to finally pierce my ears.
Maybe when I move out... or when they're gone for some weekend ;-)



Also, today I finished my new layout/color scheme on my blog. Do you like it? I am quite pleased with the results.

Let's end this thing on a high note :-)

A few more favorites...
Are you My Mummy? Babie onesie, for all of you Dr. Who fans out there.

30 for 30 (June 12, Sunday)

*sigh*

Kendi, from Kendi Everyday is doing a 30 for 30. My first experience with a 30 for 30 was from Academichic, and it was so inspiring. I immediately wanted to start my own challenge... after a shopping trip, naturally ;-)

But that's not the point of the challenge, the point is to see what you  can make out of your already existing wardrobe.

Every time I see some other blogger try it, I'm tempted. Kendi is putting on an official challenge, and I was surprised and excited to see all of the bloggers who had signed up! There must be a couple hundred!

My first thought was.... "wow, how much fun would THAT be?" and then my next one was "gosh darn it Lydia you don't have time for that! You'd go crazy!"

But what if I'm NOT too busy for that?! What if it would make my life easier? I already have a select few clothes that I rely on... so this would just be one more step in way I'm already headed.

The issue? Kendi's 30 for 30 starts tomorrow.... and I'm far from being ready.
So I'm going to take this week, thoroughly clean my room, organize, and start picking out what clothes would be appropriate for the challenge... then I'll come back to you on Monday the 20th and give my report (on weather or not I think that I can do this).

Wish me luck!!!

If anyone has advice to offer, I'd be more than happy to hear it :-)

June 9, Thursday

Today was beyond busy for me. Up at the crack of dawn, off to teach  my last lesson for Sign Language at the high school, then I went directly to Baker for my 12-6:30 shift... squeeze in a conference call with my camp director and a bowl of ice cream, then I'm done at Baker and home for 45 minutes before I go to my sister's house.

at least she fed me.

it was yummy.

now... finally... I'm home. and ready to show you my outfit for the day!



My father's HS ring
I tried a wing on my eyeliner today, and made it half way through the day with it on, but then I got to Baker and totally freaked out, went to the bathroom before people could see me, and washed most of it off.

It's just that, these people have seen me through the whole process of finding make up and trying it out... I am still nervous about people's reactions to it.
a Bug pin I got at Mid-Ohio





 This is a jacket I got from Kohls about a year and a half ago, it's cotton and I wear it to death, so I know that since it's starting to pill, I'm going to have to find a higher quality replacement. I love the style and dressy/casual-ness of it though.
This shirt is a great find, it's nice and flowy, but still really interesting. I love it! I think I found it at Target or Walmart. Such a good find.

Then I put it all together with my dark wash jeans from Target, and black suade flats from Payless.

What a good day :-)
Days always go better when you feel good about how you look.
