Dress, Deseret Industries
Cardigan, Savers
Heels, from my mom
Scarf/neckerchief/pretty thing, from my great-grandma Bates/grandma Brown
Look at me, being all grown-up and posting a blog on the same day that I wear these clothes! I wore this to school today. I felt snazzy, and someone asked me if I was going to court. Because apparently that's a reason a lot of teens dress up. o.O
For once I did my hair! It's a miracle -- I'm not really a fancy-do sort of girl, at least, not in the mornings before school. This one from Pinterest was actually pretty easy, even though I didn't do it the same as in the photos, because I liked the effect of the crossed-over bit in the back. Pinterest is a many-photoed thing.

The neckerchief/pretty scarf thing was a gift for Christmas from my grandma Brown. It belonged to my great-grandma Bates, who died just a couple years ago. My family used to go down to visit them about once a year, and I miss being able to see my great-grandpa and great-grandma. That being said, it feels nice to have this thing of hers. I had a few moments throughout the school day that it made me think of her.
Also, my great-grandpa was a stud in the 30s -- like what Edward Cullen was supposed to look like in my mind. In the same photos (that I don't have scanned right now), I think I look a bit like my great-grandma, which is good. :-) She had amazing silvery hair for all of the time I knew her, too, and I can only hope that I should age so well. :-)
