Southwestern Fringe

a-aabluevestmain

Hey all.  Im a bit annoyed today.  Had the busiest day at work.  The neighbor broke one of my flower pots, and the other neighbor walked out and scolded us because Seb threw a ball at his window as I was taking these pictures.  I included that picture below. Heh..  Gahhh!  I can't wait to get outta here!  And then Im annoyed for other reasons I will not disclose here on the blog.  AAAAAAcchhhh!!
Anwho, this is what I wore to work today.  This southwestern fringe vest is amazing isn't it?  Got it at the same Santa Monica boutique as the dress in the last post - on sale!  Beautiful teal color, southwestern print, and fringe galore...whats not to love.
Hope you all had a great one!

I go for a walk in the park, Cuz you don't need anything.

a-acutoutdress-main Evening folks. I had an overall good day today. After work, we went grocery shopping for uber healthy foods. Ha. I think I ate more food today than I usually do on a normal basis. I also got a few new nail colors. I plan on painting my toe nails tonite. I also watched a couple of pretty decent movies on Netflix while eating, which made me happy. Then constructed a couple headpieces, which I will be displaying below, after my outfit pics. Also, had a wonderful weekend. Got my Bonnaroo tickets...headed to Manchester in a couple of weeks! Went to visit my sister in Austin with my moms and my Sebby. It was a wonderful time! I got the new Beach House album at Waterloo along with a shirt upgrade from XS to Small for SebSeb to grow into!!! And to top all that greatness off, I think we got the amazing duplex in Lakewood we applied for. Boy, am I going to feel like a fool if we don't get it and publicized it for all to see here, but, yeah, lets hope, hmmmm?
 Anywho, this is what I wore sometime last week. I think this dress was made for tall leggy women.  It wasn't what I envisioned when I put it on. I got it in California in a little boutique in Santa Monica. It was love at first site, and when I tried it on, it didn't exactly zip up. It does now! However, I wouldn't dream of wearing it without a shirt or something to cover my big white belly, as I wouldn't want to gross ya'll out too much.
 Moving on, I was wanting to post what I wore everyday, for grins & giggles this whole summer...fancy or not, repeat or new....that'd be kind of neat, right? Well hope everyone has the best nite in existence. a-acutoutdress3 a-acutoutdress2 a-acutoutdress4 a-acutoutdress1 Outfit Details:

Livin in up in Winnetka Heights (Maybe)

a-a-redboots-main Hello ever-y-body!!! Im about to start my final paper for history and plan on finishing it tonite so that I can get on with tha summa, babyyy!! Wooo! Yeaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!
Moving on, I have been lookin 'round these parts (Arlington) and Dallas for a cool new place to call home. I found some awesome apartments here in Arlington in front of UTA called Vintage Pads, where they have renovated an old building into one that has really amazing interiors. This is of importance to me as I am attending school for interior design/ architecture, my passion!!! Anywho, glossy bamboo floors/ granite countertops and mosaic tile backsplash in the kitchen and funky orange accent paint are among some pluses! The only drawback is that they only have 1 bedrooms, as I'm assuming its mostly targeted for students, females, I would think. I did find a really cool duplex in historic Winnetka Heights recently and am going to see it tomorrow. Lots of vintage charm as well and an amazing robins egg blue paint in the living room, solid hardwood floors through out. I hope its as lovely as it looks in the pictures. Its near Bishop Arts District too and Kessler Park where there are trails for jogging and bike riding! So exciting. Anywho, I found this dress while thrifting and it reminded me of a picture my mom had of her old comadre back in the oldern days, and I mean pre-me times. She was wearing boots similar to these in the picture, so I thought I would replicate the look. Have a good nite yall! a-a-redboots5 a-a-redboots1 a-a-redboots6 a-a-redboots2 a-a-redboots7 a-a-redboots9

Things That Make You Go Hmmmmm???

a-aaredshoesmain
Today's outfits is one of those things the title of this blog post mentions.  I wore a tye dye tank with lace crop top, huge bell bottoms (which were a hit even amongst old Mexican men), the raddest red platform shoes incredibly comfortable for their height (Both the bottoms and shoes are from no other than Free People), and a deer head necklace.  Odd combo?  I tried to tie it all together at work with a red, blue, and white checkered, unbuttoned flannel shirt with rolled up sleeves while at work (it gets cold in there!!!).

Anywho, another thing that made me go hmmmmm?  My sister told me our cat has worms last nite.  Its an inside cat, how is that possible?  I have seen it drink water from the toilets.  That could be it.

Another thing, I noticed a note on our front door as I came home from the maintenance man asking us to call the office.  I walked in and it was the biggest freakin disaster I had ever seen.  Pillows all over the floor, dried up milk and Pops on the couch and floor, and Seb's video games and shoes all over the living room.  And the cat food bowl was three times overfilled and scattered all over the floor.  Pots and pans stacked up high in the disgusting sink.  Seb had the day off, but dang, he was supervised or so I thought.  So, can you get kicked out of your apartment for having a messy place?  Its that or the illegal cat we didn't pay a deposit for.  Who knows.  Im going to pretend I never saw it and act as if everything is ok, as I do all other awkward or uncomfortable situations in my life.

Tonite I submit my research paper on ADHD and study like mad for my math test.  As of now I have a 70 in that class due to 6 missed assignments.  A couple of 30s in a mad pick any answer and wish for the best, beat the midnite deadline type of ordeal, and missing 1 major unit test.  If I get at 90 on my final I will get an 85 in that class.  All my other classes, Im happy to say I have an A in.  Those deadlines killed me in that class for some reason.

Have a good weekend yall.  Its finals weekend for me!!!
