Took my first test of the school year.
Tried to switch into APArt.
Counselors busy. Can't switch schedule.
Already dreading school. Teachers scare me.
Nonetheless, threw on a brown beachy smocked dress over a blue green striped tee. Wrapped a long scarf around for a bit of warmth and for the sake of embellishing.
At the end of the school day, my messy bun became even messier. Hardy har har. I made thin braids on both sides of my head and proceeded to make a messy bun, leaving my side bangs down.
I bought this coin bracelet the week before school started at claire's just so I could use up my gift card. Eh, it didn't work. I now have like 4 dollars left. That's annoying.I was unpleasantly surprised that day. Having not stepped into a Claire's store in forever, I walked in thinking about a store of cute jewelry. BOY WAS I MISTAKEN. IT WAS TACKY AND DISGUSTED ME, BASICALLY. this, however, i like. haha. the disgust i felt in claire's was present, but a hundred times, worse the day before that, at none other than... Forever 21. anyways, point is. i like this bracelet. it jingles when i move my wrist :). jingle jingle
Ah, another one of my DIY feats. This was my first time wearing these. Here's the not-so-spectacular upcycling story. Feel free to skip it. I bought a pair of golden flats at Target to wear to my cousin's wedding a few years back. After that, I wore it happily until I scuffed the sides and the some of the gold coloring came off. I decided to add buttons to it, and started out sewing them on by hand. To this impatient and not-that-highly-skilled crafty girl, that proved to be a) too difficult, and b) rather tedious, long, work. So I adhered some of the buttons way too low. Some of the buttons are already scruffy and hot glue gunning turned out to not be so *AH FANTASTIC* either. There is a navy blue button missing on the left shoe.
ANYWAYS. i did get some compliments and i felt great wearing them, knowing no one else in the whole wide world owns these shoes. :) yay for pseudo- individuality. 
slouchy yellow striped cardigan+white ribbed tank and purple floral shirt+hydraulic skinny jeans, topped off with a DIY green guitar pick necklace and bowtie brown ballet flats. 
I punched a hole in the guitar pick and attached it to a chain with an old earring. (I do not have my ears pierced, but often use earring parts for crafts. My auntie used to own a store, and when it closed, we basically got all the inventory. notebooks, jewelry, stickers, etc. 
It's a basic grey long-sleeved tee with a purple tank layered over it. There is nice little detailing at the waist. And ah-hah! This is the sophomore outfit embellished with the baubles necklace! These jeans I had from last year, but I recently had them shortened, and I absolutely adore them. The comfy black ballet flats were my first pair of flats. Ever.
A few weeks ago, I made a shiny baubles necklace! . The only materials I bought for this wonderfully fun project were head pins, clasps, and jump rings. The chain I'm pretty sure came from a belt that broke. Many of the beads I salvaged from old beaded hair ties. The heart key is from a Lisa Frank diary I received many years ago as a gift, and the locket I bought from Michaels a few years back. The lone purple bead is from a broken necklace. And of course, the soda can pop top! Love 'em! It makes the necklace much more funky. So far I have worn it once, but I'm not really satisfied with the outfit I paired it with.
First of all, the horizontal stripes make my shoulders look exceedingly wide. I'm wondering if its the cut on my narrow shoulders rather than the actual stripes, though. Usually horizontal on top helps balance out my bottom half.
I paired this form-fitting striped tunic with dark purple leggings and layered a flowy black tank top over it. The tank has a cute little pocket, but it's not visible in this picture. Shoes? I wore my trusty and well-worn purple flower flip-flops that my daddy bought for me in Burma! Yup. Just wanted to share (erm, brag about) my pretty necklace!
