Outfit of the Day

Today was a rough morning. You ever have those days, you wake up and you KNOW that it's going to be a rough one?  I'm 17 and have no license, so I have to take the bus to school. Well I ran to the bus stop this morning, while it was all wet and rainy, in my bare feet holding my shoes. I was a bit of a hot mess. Then during distribution of the newspaper at school, all these little underclassmen are making out, doing stupid things, and clogging the hallways not moving out of the way. I swear I wasn't that annoying when I was younger.

Tonight's senior night, and the final football game I might go to as a high school student!! We made it to the playoffs (which starts next week) but i'll be on a college visit that weekend, so can't go :( Our school has really come together over the past few years to support members in our community with breast cancer. We've done pink-outs for basketball games for the past 2 years. Tonight's the first one for a football game (at least I think it is). On a complete side note, I own almost nothing pink....I find that really strange.

I find it so interesting how life works. One day your healthy, and the next, you could have cancer. I really wonder how all these diseases, all these deaths play into God's plan.

That's enough deep talk for an outfit of the day post, have a good weekend everyone :)

Chicago

On Saturday a group of friends and I went down to the city. Nothing wonderful happened, nothing extraordinary occurred on this day, but it was just one of those days, where everything falls into place. It was one of those days where you just have to thank God for everything in your life. Nothing special happened on Saturday, it was really just another ordinary day with my best friends. I just came home feeling grateful and thankful that I got to make these friends while in high school, that I get to live in such close proximity to one of the best cities in the world, that I get the opportunity to have such fun times with the people I care about. I complain about how messed up the United States are sometimes, and how some many different branches and organizations need to be reformed. At the end of the day though, the opportunities we get to have in this country, the freedom we receive, you can't get that in many other places. Everyday I just say thank you to God, there are kids without food in this world, without clean water, millions of people will never leave the villages they were born on. Yet, I get to spend $7 on Starbucks coffee, I get to buy $3 overpriced water when I get thirsty, I get the chance to jump on a train and go to one of the biggest cities in the world in a heartbeat. I will never understand how society allowed such extreme juxtaposition.

Better late than never: Homecoming

Outfit: dress (BCBG), shoes (BCBG), vintage earrings

Homecoming was two weeks ago, and I didn't post anything about it other than our spirit week outfits. If you haven't noticed yet, I am extremely forgetful. I keep forgetting to blog on here daily, tumblr is easy, I have an app for that, this one takes a little more effort. I was debating if I even wanted to go to the Homecoming dance this year, but am so happy I did, it was the best one yet. I personally am not big on having a date when I go to Homecoming, I think this dance is one of the few that's a little more fun when you're single. You have the freedom to dance with whomever you want, without feeling like you're ditching your date. Plus, I'm not big on how people "grind" around here. They do this ridiculous hip sway, it's just a lazy dance style. I would not be able to sit down and just grind for 3 hours, it'd be excruciatingly boring. The only downside to not having a date though, are those awkward 4 minutes during a slow song. In my school though half the couples were grinding during the slow songs, so hey I was not missing out!
