I had a conducting test today. For those who have never taken one, the class sings and you conduct them, while being video taped. Rabbit’s feet are lucky right? So I wore my bunny shirt.
Bunnieessssssssss.
And my favorite wide legged jeans.
Bunny shirt: Kohls
Bell bottom Jeans: TJ Maxx
Rainbow belt: Hot Topic
I don’t know if you can tell from this picture, but my tights are labeled with the bones and cuts of meat found on the human leg. I made them with the help of a Sharpie marker and a tolerant friend, who unfortunately got the terms written on her skin through the tights as well.
And my necklace is an anatomical human heart in glass. Yes.
Dress: Banana Republic
Tights: Target, modified by me
Shoes: DSDoubleyou
Necklace: River City Bead Company
It was so cold this morning! I put on a sweater vest.
This photo was taken in a practice room, horribly dreary, I know. As the day went on, the sweater vest came off, and the pants turned into shorts.
Shirt: Pac Sun
Vest: Crocheted by me
So, I kinda haven’t posted in, oh, 3 days. That is because I have been simply rolling out of bed and blindly putting clothes on. I have also been busy. Busy doing what, you might ask? Well, preparing for a recital! A studio recital, where all the clarinetist at my school (well, half, the rest go tomorrow) play a lovely piece of music. And I am very pleased with how I did. The only bad comment my professor had was that I did not bow warmly enough. I guess that means I did well.
Here is what I wore:
Apple Dress: H&M, but purchases at the awesome boy scout yard sale held every year at the Dulles Expo Center
Necklace: Unique Thrift
Mouse Shoes: DSW (my W key is not broken, unlike Rose’s)
I didn’t finish the blue shirt that I was going to wear with my plaid skirt. But I like the apple dress better.
It took me forever to get dressed today. I kept telling myself I wanted to wear a dress, but I wasn’t buying it. Finally, it hit me: it was just a mechanic’s jumpsuit kind of day.
I went to the gym last night and am now convinced that I have biceps. Do you buy it? Also, I can’t decide if it’s weird or not to wear the top half of the jumpsuit, or if it’s okay to put it on and take it off throughout the day depending on temperature. Does that make me a freak who strips in front of people? And what kind of jacket goes with this? None, that’s what kind. Nevertheless, I love my coveralls. They make me feel like welding a plane.
Cross Necklace: found on the kitchen table, no one claimed it
Tank top: Converse for Target
Coveralls: Parents’ basement
Combat Boots: Dee Ess Doubleyou
Sexy Hourglass Figure, even in men’s clothes: Gift from Mother
Punk rock boots, plaid corset, and pristine button-down shirt? Yes, please. I feel like I’m back in the late 70s, early 80s.
Button-Down Shirt: L.L. Bean Men’s Department
Corset: Made it myself
Jeans So Tight They Look Painted On: Gap
Black Boots of Doom: DSDubbleyou (my w key is broken)
And, for your listening enjoyment, a song about how cool and rebellious cassette tapes are:
I really wanted to wear a gray skirt today, so I made one yesterday, from this pattern:
Specifically the green one. Doesn’t it look cute in the picture?
Well, I wore it today.
And it just looks like I have a huge slit up my skirt. It’s a PLEAT, I SWEAR!
And the shoes and pink socks are bad…
And so are the shoes. It was drizzly! I didn’t want to get my cute shoes wet! Anyways, Michelle Obama has those shoes, so it’s okay.
Actually, I got multiple compliments on those socks and shoes. Well, all from the same person, but still.
So, then I went over to Rose’s house. I changed the socks. Purple socks look better. And, my adorable mouse shoes, their debut!
Ah!! What was I thinking?
And then I went on a blind date. I brought Rose along, because I didn’t really want to go. I wore this. The guy was doggedly boring. I took off the socks, thank humanity.
I think I just don’t do well in loose floppy t-shirts. I need them to be more fitted. Everyone was so very nice to me today, today. I hope it wasn’t because I looked silly…
Shirt: JCPenney (not the scary gray one)
Skirt: Sewn by my ownself.
Leggings: TJMaxx
Pink socks: Target
Purple socks: Scary gray JCPenney
Mouse shoes: DSW
Glittery Sneakers: DSW
Necklace: Present from mom
I woke up this morning, realized it was going to be chilly today, and rejoiced. why? Because all summer I’ve been waiting for the chance to wear knits, tights, layers. Basically everything I have going on today. And I will not sweat! Because it is cold! Haha! I made the dress and scarf myself, which makes me particularly proud.
Please excuse the dramatic facial expression. I was in kind of a hurry and couldn’t get a non-silly shot. Don’t I look cozy, though?
Sweater dress: made by me, back in July, out of 2 sweaters from the Salvation Army. The lady at the counter said, “Isn’t it a bit warm for that?” and I said “yes, but it won’t always be.”
2-Tone Scarf (worn as obi-belt): Knit by me.
Tights: Gift from Mother
Boots: L.L. Bean
EDIT: It has come to my attention that all of my facial expressions are as silly as the one in this picture. Disregard apology; apparently, this cannot be prevented.
I’ve had my eye on this recipe for a while now. It just looks so good! The tomatoes! Oh, the tomatoes! So I wrote my grocery list this week centered around this recipe, which admittedly doesn’t have that many ingredients. I figured I could just buy some french bread from the Kroger bakery section, but all the loaves said something along the lines of this:
CONTAINS EGG AND DAIRY INGREDIENTS. NOTTTTT VEGANNNNNNN!!!
Well, fine then, Kroger! I don’t need your white trash bread! I’ll make my own!!
So I did.
The recipe was called Outrageously Easy BIG Bread, which was slightly misleading, because I had more trouble getting this stuff to rise. And I had to add more flour, even though the recipe was very clear in stating that if you did not make it exactly by the book it wouldn’t be work. Clearly that’s why it’s a bit flat. But that’s okay, because it’s going to be pizza and pizza is supposed to be flat. Also, it turned out to be really really tasty bread, so I can totally see myself using this recipe again. I also really love this recipe.
Here are the ingredients, all laid out…
No nutritional yeast. I actually have no idea what that is and couldn’t find it. The blog said it was their own addition, as they had gotten the recipe from a book.
And all mixed up….
And all cooked!
The recipe didn’t say at what temperature or how long to cook, so I just kept my oven at 375 from the bread. It took about 20 minutes to get crispy and yummy.
Anyways, that’s how I spent my day. *noshes on pizza*
I’m kind of loving mixing plaids right now. I’m pretty sure this is a mortal sin in fashion-land. Ah, well.
