        Hello again! I wore this yesterday and the day before (it's not really that gross - I only wore it for a few hours on the first day, chillax).  I watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 with the amazing Jeremiah, so I dressed as inspired by my sweater muse - the Hermione Granger of the movies.  So, my hair was really really curly, but these photos weren't taken until yesterday, after I'd slept on it, and now they are gone. 

        The shoes really remind me more of Luna Lovegood than Hermione, and Lexie has a lion hat! I almost felt tempted to wear everything that reminded me of Harry Potter in the least.  

        Best fashions of the Harry Potter movies worn by: 

•    Hermione Granger (sweaters galore! She dresses practically and warm.  And just how gorgeous is her dress for the ball?)
•    Professor McGonagall (swoopy and beautiful! I hope I look so awesome as I age.)
•    Bellatrix Lestrange (dark, crazy, and... creepy)
•    Lavender Brown (so sad... but, colorful and cheery, even throughout her Ron-crushed stage)
•    Luna Lovegood (strange, in all of the best ways)
•    Fleur Delacour (as classy as you get)
•    Mrs. Weasley (the ultimate homemaker)
•    There are probably some I've forgotten. Any suggestions?

        Anyway, I hope you're all having a fabulous day, and have a fabulous weekend!

         "It's Harry Potter, gotta destroy the horcrux... everybody's looking forward to the movie, part 2!"

It didn't take me nearly as long as I thought it would to make those blog posts, although, they're not as detailed as I might have liked... but oh well!  This was the last one of November that I remembered to take a photo of, and I'm not sure I'll get around to taking photos of what I wear much this month because I have so many things to do!  So, farewell again for now!

Goodbye!

There will soon be a succession of many late outfits from the past few months.  November!

Lateness!

_____So, this was an outfit that I wore to my cousin's wedding last month! Yes, I am quite late with this one... and it makes it no better that I didn't photograph what I wore to my other cousin's wedding a few weeks ago!
_____Summer is halfway over! Agh!!

Fourties

_____For the past bit I've been looking at, loving, and drawing things out of the series of Everyday Fashions of the ____s As Pictured In Sears Catalogs. It's been a very good series for getting pictures of the different decades of fashion so far!
_____As I said, I've been drawing some of the designs I like out of it, and these are what I have!
I decided while I was bored yesterday (go Sundays?) that I would print out some copies and paint them, so here is my boredom as well! Everyday Fashions of the Forties:

I love the colors of the rightmost dress in this one, even though this was, essentially, scribbling with a paintbrush.

_____Also, over the weekend I made a skirt out of my dad's old collared striped shirt. I'll post pictures of it soon! I'm surprised that my sewing skills were enough to make it have only a minor amount of failure, not the major fail I thought it might be. : )

My travels in a hat - so exciting, all the time

_____Today was the first official day of summer marching band! Woohoo! My life is starting up again! Obviously, I didn't wear this to marching band, but marching band clothes I cannot allow anyone to see except those at actual marching band. : )
_____Decided while my little sister was watching Lords of Dogtown (she's on a mission to watch every Heath Ledger movie) that I was going to curl my hair, and then I brushed it out, because I like waves so much more than my limp hair in curls. Speaking of hair... Stacey's hair in Lords of Dogtown is... gorgeous. Just sayin'.
_____We went up to Whitmore Library for a meeting for the Honeybee Festival, and that was actually kind of fun! Pamela complimented me on my outfit, and then the gas station guy said he liked my hat. X )
_____All in all, even with a headache and low blood sugar since marching band, it has been a pretty decent day. Plus, perfect weather. Win. (Almost done with Paper Towns! John Green love!)

Trust Me

(Always remember to click for a better picture!)

My go-to dress for all occasions is this baby. It never fails on a lazy day - like today, the official last day of school, in which I stayed home, explaining my bare feet -, a day when I'm running late, or when I have to dress up for something! Of all of my Deseret Industries finds, I think this one is my most-worn, always proving the loveliness of thrift stores to me, even though I have been a believer for quite a while.

_______I think now that I really need to figure out how to get magical sewing abilities. I took a sewing class in ninth grade, and passed perfectly fine, but we didn't do any hand sewing, which is the only thing I can do until my brother gets back my sewing machine that I let him lend a friend to make a Halloween costume. I have a little pile of things on my bedroom floor that need to be mended or revamped, and it keeps getting bigger. Sewing machine, come back! You can blame it all on me...

_______Speaking of HALLOWEEN, I'm thinking about trying out some papier mache to make a mask of the Silence.
_______...
_______Isn't anyone else here a DOCTOR WHO fan?
_______I hope so. : ) If not, please, become one of us.
_______I saw this awesome Weeping Angel costume a few months ago, and... I'm at a loss for words for how good it is! I didn't realize how much actually goes into costume making before this. Mostly this is because the most home-made costume I ever had was before kindergarten when my mom cut holes in a shiny blue pillowcase so that I could dress up as a Barbie (I still have this costume). I'm going to try to, well, actually try with my costume this year, so maybe I can get a taste of what it means to do an actual project. If not the Silence... I'll try to come up with alternatives. All I know is that if all else fails, I'll write little numerals all over my arms and face with eyeliner throughout the night with a little sound recorder.

_______Because I am a blogger fail... does anyone know how to make my photos larger without being miserable quality? Anything would be appreciated muchly.


The Doctor: You know what? This is the biggest library in the universe. So where is everyone?
[looks around]
The Doctor: It's silent...
Donna Noble: The library?
The Doctor: The planet. The whole planet.
Donna Noble: Maybe it's a Sunday?
The Doctor: No, I never land on Sundays. Sundays are boring.
(Season 4: Silence In the Library)

Completely, Utterly Stupefying

Please excuse my complete and utter feeling of being absolutely fashion blogger annoying cliche... I hope I'll get the hang of this and not seem so dumb sooner rather than later. : P

Glasses from my bad vision, locket, purple/white/black dress, white sweater, blue striped cardigan thing, blue belt from D.I., gray striped tights, and Keds that I wore a hole in today!

_____Yea for more crappy pictures! I wish I could remember to even attempt to take a picture before the sun was setting.
_____Yesterday in chemistry class, we made tie dye shirts! If there's anything that I've learned from that class, it's that the principles are boring, but the application of them is not! I really want to tie dye a pair of socks now after reading through posts from the Self-Constructed Freak, or, Marlena. I'm finding so many random blogs that I love!
_____My current want is to dress like a prep. It's rather odd, but pleated skirts, button-ups, and cardigans sound very appealing right now. I am hoping those things will randomly appear in my closet, because I have none that would really work out. Have you ever wished that your closet could be a portal to a free personal magic thrift store?...
_____I must learn how to sew well. D:

_____Still waiting with love for the perfect outfits of Baby's. Speaking of, it's Friday night... Dirty Dancing it is!

This is how I spend my Sunday nights

Styx, "Babe" LOVE LOVE LOVE

Sorry for the horribleness of photos; the weather is suckish, and the tripod is always AWOL when I might possibly use it. Yea! Couldn't post today's clothing escapades because it's currently in the bathtub getting de-soggy-squishy-fied from the rain/sleet/snow we've gotten today!

_____The eye make-up reminded me of fall's marching band season, in which color guard wore lovely 80's sort of eye makeup. I must say, from the one time we tried to copy the 80's hair, those girls were crazy. That hair hurts.
_____(Pause for brief love attack for 80's)
_____Wearing: Easter egg sweater from Kohl's, shorts from "low rise" pants that could only have been considered "low-rise" before 2000 from some depths of my closet, belt from friend!, purple tights.
_____Yearning for: 60's dresses, 40's dresses, 50's dresses, um... dresses, 70's bell-bottoms, summertime and summer dresses, oxfords, every outfit Baby wore in Dirty Dancing, and less light pollution so I can see the stars.

DIRTY DANCING IS THE BEST.

Dog? WHERE?

_____Hello, wonderful probably nonexistent readers of this bloooog! I hope you'll be having a wonderful time this weekend!
_____Anywho, yesterday, I finally got around to taking a photo of my outfit! So this is what I wore yesterday:

I absolutely adored Scooby-Doo as a kid. Hey, guess what? I never stopped being a kid, either! My sweater shunned Daphne. : (

A Scooby-Doo huge t-shirt that I borrowed from my sister
A black sweater that I abducted from my mom's closet
A pink belt that I call "Daphne-esque" in my mind from an old Halloween costume (though I don't know what costume it really was) which would not stay tight
$1 black skirt
A dress that's becoming very torn up that I've had literally since I was in first grade
Favorite new DNA-stripe tights
Favorite lace-up black flats
A good attitude! The best thing of all to have.



_____Scooby-Doo is completely timeless!
_____It turns out lots of people still love Scooby-Doo in addition to me. I don't think I've ever gotten more compliments on a t-shirt than when I wore this one! I wanted to wear it again today, but decided enough was enough, and instead took out my splat-man Moab t-shirt. I need to go to Moab again, I miss it!
_____So, I hope you all (?) have a grand weekend (long for me, go me)! And a happy happy new year/day/month, you, you meddling kids, and your dog too!

Inspiration: Mom

Because of my lack of motivation to really get outside and take pictures of what I've been wearing in this windy weather, this is what happens. I can get inspiration for what to wear from nearly anything, whether it be a color, a book cover, a random Google photograph, but especially patterns and pictures from different time periods. Today, I'm going to highlight a good source of fashion that I have: my mom! Love her, I do. There are also a few that I found that aren't of my mom, but are just too good to be true!
