Warm springtime attire

Cardigan - vintage, necklace - made by me, top - Target, skirt - Urban Outfitters, fork bracelet - antique, woven bracelet - gift, socks - random, sandals - Aldo

I'm behind on posting - I wore this on Monday when it was gloriously sunny and gloriously warm. I essentially refused to sit inside, with the exception of complying during school and an appointment. There's no reason to not enjoy eighty degree weather during early April!

I decided to edit these photos a bit differently than I normally do. I tried to give them a vintage vibe, but I'm not all too sure that they came out that way. And another note: first time wearing sandals in 2011! Huge deal. Especially considering these sandals should be in terrible condition by now because I wore them so damn often last season.



I've spent most of the week in jeans and old t-shirts so I won't have to scrape clay off my good clothes. I've been throwing on the pottery wheel quite often - consider it one of my latest obsessions - and I'm finally getting the hang of it. For the record, I first gave it a whirl two and a half years ago.

And seriously, I'd like to thank you all for the positive response I've been getting on my Thoughts for Tuesday posts. The writing hits a bit closer to home than most of my posts, and while I accept any opinions different from my own, I'm very glad that I haven't been criticized for pretending I know shit. Sometimes I feel that way about myself.

Conversely, I've been receiving comments that add to interesting discussions on the chosen topics. And Annebeth of The Styling Dutchman mentioned me in her post Peter Pan Collared Feminist, which I recommend you read.

All I wanted was the simple things, a simple kind of life...

Scarf - H&M, shirt - Olive and Olivia via Ideeli, jeans - Delia's, bracelet - grandma's, shoes - Modcloth

I've received multiple comments today suggesting I look like I should be going on a safari of some sort... or that I look sophisticated. I like to think this outfit would be ideal for a fancy picnic. You know, the shirt's kind of wrinkled so it doesn't exactly exude classy, but for a picnic? It'd be quite suitable. I'm debuting these shoes for the season despite the colder temperatures today. I don't know what's with this weather - it was super windy all weekend and now it's chilly! Oh well... it's supposed to warm up again by Wednesday, which is the day of my last AP exam. Hurrah. I'm just glad that while tomorrow will entail yet another 3+ hour test, I have a sort of break before having to take another.

This weather is a little bit of a bummer - I had a few outfit ideas, but I guess I won't have the opportunity to execute them until later in the week. Oh well, there's still four days ahead of me.

And since I haven't posted since Friday, I have a few tidbits of news. First, I received a full tuition scholarship to the summer art program I applied for! I'm so excited that I'll get to play with metal and clay for a month. Second, I was interviewed by Dianne over at Glitteratzi. Check it out!

Nobody ever told her.

Cardigan - H&M, tshirt - Pacsun, jeans - H&M, boots - Deena and Ozzy

Today consisted of my lingering anger from yesterday (if you follow me on twitter, you might know why...) and not going to school. However, I submitted my application to take a spring Saturday class at a nearby art school - I'm going to take a jewelry and metals class. So cool, I'm really excited.

I'm really happy to say I've been interviewed by Terra over at Stylish White Female... a fellow Pennsylvanian, however she resides in Pittsburgh. Check it out!

And I don't believe I've ever mentioned this, but I was on the ModCloth blog a while ago talking about my favorite find. Wonder what it is? Hmmm...

I've appeared to have gone link crazy! Hope you're all well - halfway through the week! Whew.
