Valentine’s Skirt

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!! I was looking forward to today for a very long time  There are two reasons for this.  First of all, Valentine's Day is more exciting when you have a significant other.  This is the first time I have had a boyfriend for Valentine's Day.  Which makes sense given that Zach is…

Retro Dress

Am I the only one who sometimes gets massively stressed about how many school assignments they have during the week and becomes super productive and accidentally finishes all their homework in one day?   My mental schedule got all messed up this week with Monday off for MLK day and snow days Wednesday through Friday.  I…

The Reason for the Season

I am aware that "the season" is technically over.  It is now 2018 and today my dad put all the Christmas decorations away.  But in my mind, Christmas isn't really over until it snows. Raleigh, NC got our first snow yesterday so I decided to photograph two holiday dresses my mom sewed even though it is…

Summer Dress in Winter

I don't know if its just me, but I always put a lot of thought into finding a way to combine everything I got for Christmas into an outfit that actually coordinates. In order to do a photoshoot with my new backpack and my new earrings and my new shoes (actually my brother's), I had…

Bell Sleeves and Velvet

Tomorrow is Christmas.  This is a good thing because, of course, gifts and dinner with family and remembering the birth of Jesus.  It's also a bad thing though, because that means there are only two days left to wear Christmas sweaters and sparkly red and green things.  Thankfully, this dress is good for during the…

Vintage Sweaters and Gratefulness

I recently went on a rare trip to the mall to buy new clothes (and spend too much money).  It became quickly obvious that huge sleeves, oversized sweaters, and fluffy jackets are the styles of this fall and winter.  These are inconvenient styles, however, because they are quite expensive and I very much like them. …

Autumn, Happiness, and Knit Dresses

School aside, fall is my absolute favorite time of the year.  I know there's probably a hundred other teenage girls posting right now about how obsessed they are with fall and pumpkin lattes and fall outfits, but I still feel the need to express how awesome fall is.  Its just so beautiful--all the oranges and…

Flashback Dress

That feel when you wake up early the one morning you are able to sleep in.  I've gotten like, max six hours of sleep a night for two weeks because school and stuff.  I was looking so forward to sleeping until 8:00 this morning, but my dad didn't get the memo and woke me up…

Labor Day Clothing Haul

Almost every family has something they like to do together.  Play board games.  Go out to eat.  Hike.  Watch sports on TV.  The thing our family spends the most time doing together is shopping at thrift stores.  We often wonder, “Without Goodwills what would we even do together?”  Which sounds kinda sad and materialistic, but…

Whale Romper

One thing I find interesting is how almost everyone has their own sense of style.  Maybe they like mostly prints or mostly solid fabrics.  Maybe they like fitted things or maybe they like loose things.  Maybe they are happiest in a flannel or most confident wearing the color red.  Maybe they can't stand how they…
