Of shoes and ships and sealing wax......

Well,not really, though, shoes are involved in this post. To be honest, I didn't really know what to call this post, so I went to my trusty what-to-do-when-you-don't-know-what-to-name-your-blog-post book, Alice in Wonderland. Works every time. :)

I didn't really have anything of importance to write about, but it's been far too long since I have written, I decided to just post random pictures of things that I really like, or maybe wany, or maybe have already. Whatever.







What sort of things do you like to think about?

Seeing polka-dots!

Could you ever believe that there is such a thing as a modest skirt in such a place as forever21? A week ago, I would have answered no, but then I found{and purchased} this beauty! I have never been so pleased to be proven wrong ♥ Doesn't it look so cute and vintage?


Yours, Erin ♪

I wanna stay home with my headphones on

O.K. So they're not real headphones, but aren't they cute? This little gem is my latest purchase from Forever21, my absolute fave store!!!!!

What I wore.....July 10, 2011

yeah, yeah, I know. This was yesterday. So sue me.
Actually, this outfit is pretty plain in comparison to what I usually wear, but it was perfect for this hot weather we've been having, plus I had band practice, and I have learned from experience that it's not the best idea to dress up.

Turquoise Tee-Walmart
Shorts-Walmart
Flip flops-Maurices
Silver bangle bracelet-H&M

A Thrifty find

Actually, I bought this last summer, but it didn't fit. But it was so cute, and only 50 cents, so I just had to have it! And now, {hoorah!) It fits!!!! YAY!! Don't you just love it? I'm so excited to have a summer 1860's dress{or 1970's, depending on whether or not you want to wear the petticoat} Someone actually made this dress, it wasn't made in a factory, which, I thought was extra cool.

It's got some pretty cool detail too.

I love thrifting! It's so much fun!

What I wore......July 3, 2011

White babydoll tee-JC Penny
Purple Cardigan-Goodwill
Capris-Goodwill
Gladiator Sandals-Forever21
Heart watch pendant-Forever21
Silver bangle bracelet-H&M

I found this super cute and comfortable shirt at Penny's yesterday, for super on sale. It was originally $20(Which I think is a stupid price for a shirt) but I bought it for $7!! I am officially the deal-finder of the century ☺

It's only the deal of the century....

The Elder-Beerman in my area is currently having a major sale. Everything is dirt cheap on sale, because they need to make room for......I hesitate to say it.....FALL. There. I said it. And now I feel filthy, and in need of a shower. Excuse me.

O.K. I'm back, clean, and ready to tell my story. So, like I said, everything was WAY on sale, and as I was looking around aimlessly, I spotted this really cute leather jacket, and, making a beeline straight for it, I fell in love. But my love was hindered when I noticed the price tag. $100. There was no way. But then....BUT THEN!!! I saw the best sign I have ever read. The sign read "All jackets $15." And I was like WHA?!?!? And, after my ecstatic screaming ceased, I found my size, and ran through the entire store, in search of my mother. And the rest is history......




So, I know I can't wear it for at least two months, but I don't care! It was too darn cheap, and cute to pass up!

To the max{i}

Hey, all! Happy Father's day!!!

I'm doing an outfit post today{SHOCK!!!!} Haven't done one of these in a few days! So, here goes...........

Dress-Forever21
watch pendant-Forever21
Silver bangle bracelet-H&M
Wedge heels-Payless

I love the design on this dress! I wore this to church today, and got so many compliments along the lines of "You look like a Grecian princess!" Yay!

Last night, I french braided my hair, starting at my scalp, and braiding to the very end, and slept in it, which created these waves! Super easy and cute♥

The dress is SOOOO comfy! I told my mom that I felt like I was going to church in my night gown, it's that great!

Inspirational Monday....April 25, 2011

Well, Hello! How ya been? Long time, no see, and all that. What up, home dawg? Ha, ha!

Hey, sorry for the over-long absence. Don't worry, I have already punished myself. Grounded for three days and no desserts. LOL I do apologize. The last two Mondays have been just ridicules, but those days are over now, and I can get back to my inspirational Mondays!!! Yayayayayay!

For the past couple weeks, I have been painfully obsessed with vintage-style summer dresses. I will quite literally sit here in front of my best friend, Mr. Computer{say hi to the kids, computer: "Hi, kids!"}internet-shopping and pining for those lovely dresses! **SIGH** {Author goes slightly limp as she stares off into the distance........."Erin, ERIN!!!!"} AH! What?! Oh, did I zone out? Sorry. Hee, hee, enough with my pathetic obsessions. Let's look at some pictures, shall we? Good.

Beautiful, right? Oh, I better stop now before I start drooling!


See ya!

what I wore....March 27, 2011

This is the post that was supposed to be created Sunday, but, sadly, it was not to be. So, I'm doing it today instead.

I gave you a sneak peek Saturday of a purchase I made Friday, and then I wore it Sunday. I shall now show you what I bought!!!

Ta-da!!!Dress-goodwill
cardigan-Elder beerman
belt-Kohls
Shoes-Payless

Isn't the pattern darling? And I simply LOVE the buttons going up the front!!!

As for Inspirational Monday, I unfortunately neglected it yesterday. Ah, well. I guess we'll just have to skip a week, and then resume it again next Monday. All is well.

A sneak peek of tomorrow's outfit!

I tried, I really did, to wait until tomorrow to tell you about a wonderful find I spotted at goodwill yesterday, but I just couldn't hold it in. I am satisfying myself in giving you only a tiny peek, and then you can read more about it in tomorrow's outfit post!

My latest project

Yo! Wazzup, homedawg?!

Hee, hee. Okay. Enough foolin'. I have decided on my next sewing project!!!! I'm super-de duper-de excited about this one, and now I'll show you why. :)



Aren't you psyched?! I know I am!!! I'll be making the one in the bottom right corner, with the wicked awesome sleeves. Though I have never been thrilled with the medieval time period as I have been with others, those fantasy sleeves just make me want to dance with joy! I'm so happy I finally get to make my own fairy dress! Before long, I'll be wearing flowers in my long, flowing hair as I stroll through the forest, filled with mythical creatures. Sounds fun, no?

What I wore....March 20, 2011

Oh, my! It has been awhile since I've done one of these, hasn't it!

Inspirational Monday.......March 14, 2011

This week's Inspirational Monday is all about Spring, and the many fun things it offers, such as.........

Can y'all tell that I am shamelessly pining for warmer weather? Because I am. I want to wear pretty spring dresses. I want to go outside barefoot. I want to go for long walks in the park, and ride my bike around the neighborhood. I WANT SPRING!!!!!!!!!

Cassablanca

So last Friday I went to see that movie,Cassablanca, at the Valentine theatre. If you missed that post, simply click here to read all about it!

Unfortunately, I took no pictures, and I'm sorry, I didn't bring my camera, but I can say that my parents and I are going again tomorrow night to see Harvey,{which, for those of you who don't know, is about a man who is friends with an invisible bunny that only he can see, and everyone thinks he's crazy. It stars Jimmy Stewart, one of my all-time favorite actors!} and I will take some pictures then.

I did, however, manage to photograph my outfit for that night{afterwords, of course, because I didn't bring the camera to the movie}

As you can tell, I was inspired slightly by the movie to go vintage:White lace Cami-Maurices
Black cardigan-Kohls
Red wool skirt-Goodwill{in the vintage section!}
Thin black belt-Kohls
White knee highs-Um, Walmart, I think
Black ballet flats-Garage sale{But they are from American eagle}

What I wore......February 16 2011

wow. I haven't done one of these in awhile! Sorry about that! But, the past couple of weeks, I haven't done much outside of the house, so I have no reason to dress up{or even get dressed, I'm not too ashamed to admit :), hence no pictures. But that's in the past, because yesterday I actually got out of my PJs! Aren't you proud of me? Yeah, me to! LOLWhite long sleeve shirt-Meijer
Purple cardigan-Goodwill
re-fashioned peasant skirt-Meijer*
thin black belt-Kohls
cat eye glasses necklace-forever21

Isn't the pattern on this skirt awesome?! The pattern is the whole reason I didn't just get rid of the dress when it didn't fit me anymore{Well, that and I really like the flowy-ness of the skirt}

*It started out as a dress, but it didn't fit me right, so I turned it into a skirt.

I think I have......

Come on, who's with me?!
