rain check

I totally wanted to wear this dress I just bought with basically nothing else, but it was raining in complete contradiction with the weather the week before, so I had to take a style raincheck. (Weather-based deferment! I love etymology. Good thing I'm taking a historical linguistics class this fall.) This isn't very flattering.

Anchor-print dress: thrifted. Sweater: grandmother's. Ribbon: lying around. Rain boots: Hunter.

I guess I should've expected that when I wrote my style declaration for this past semester, this is what "office hours attire" would translate to.

I'm not entirely sure what those socks are doing there, but I guess I wouldn't've felt childish enough without them.

Green puff sleeve dress: thrifted. Hair ribbon: lying around. Light gray argyle tights: H&M. Tacky socks: childhood? Brown oxfords: Payless.

Long, sleek hairstyles woman

Long and smooth hairstyles will always look good, no matter what year it is.

Example hairstyle below shows us how shiny long locks can turn a drab look into fantastic.

Mischa Barton turned heads with this sleek, smooth hairstyle. She looked so classy with a sleek and smooth style. A chic finish was achieved by texturing her ends—an effect that worked superbly with the feeling of lightness created by medium to long layers.

How to Style:Apply mousse to damp hair then blow-dry using a medium vent brush, turning your hair under as you go along. Smooth shine the top layers and then lacquer lightly for hold.

Wore this to sit next to the most unemotional girl I have ever met (that would be Jocelyn) while bawling at Ching's show about awkwardness and love and death. Realized afterward that it is the love that gets to me, not the death.

My sophomore year of college ends at 12 PM, and then I can break down down down!

Let's make this happen, guys.

Cute Partial Updo Hairstyle

Check out this cute partial updo hairstyle that features long side swept bangs. Emma Roberts looks great.

Emma wore her hair in two very different textures at The 42nd Annual Academy Of Country Music Awards and pulled it off magically! Her hair was tightly pulled into a half-up, half-down style and her thick bangs were side swept, which is great for a high hairline. To finish, piecey waves were added through the ends of her hair to add more texture to her style.

How to Style:Mousse damp hair, then using a medium sized radial brush, blow-dry down and under. Wax the front bangs for added definition, making sure to include the side.

where it's AT

Floral tights are imperative for spring. THAT'S RIGHT.

...TK once said, "I like your sweater. It is easier on the eyes than what you usually wear." I... suppose he was right? It's my grandma's... Ellipses...

I once wore it (with a big construction paper R pinned to the front) to play Ron Weasley in a video project for AP Psych. Kyo, with a little help from temporary hair dye from a spray can, played Draco Malfoy who, for reasons I can't remember, spent the entire video dancing furiously and was the only one with a British accent. Also, one of my two flamboyantly gay male friends played a clinically depressed Voldemort, who Avada Kedvadra'd Kyle of the Medieval Peasant haircut, and he fell down the stairs in a looped replay to the dulcet tune of Haddaway's "What Is Love?"

I also played Snape because I had the hair for it. I'm pretty sure Flamboyant Gay Friend also played Hermione. It was a strange project.

Anyway, I put this on after successfully beating the clock to finish math homework to make it to The Cellar before noon. Did not break my feet thanks to liberal amounts of petroleum jelly slathered on my footsies. ...That makes me think of Curley from Of Mice and Men. That dude who keeps his hand in a glove of Vaseline for his wife.

Five dollah.

Sweater: grandmother's. White t-shirt: Hanes v-neck that I probably woke up wearing. Belt: GAP, brother's, boys'. Pants: one of my uncles'. Shoes: Miz Mooz.
