T-Shirt: Forever 21 | Jeans: Burlington Coat Factory | Boots: Payless | Sweater: Old Navy

Embracing my inner California girl, I threw on a pair of booties and short shorts for a hot day in Michigan. The weather was not too hot for me though (obviously). After all, I did wear a black sweater! (The silk camisole was very airy though, so that balanced my outfit out; plus, I was comfortable in and out of shade all day.) 

I have no idea how fashion bloggers narrow all of their posts down to, like, three/four photos. It's impossible for me! "Oh my gosh! I don't look stupid in that one; I must post it!" is what I do when reviewing all of the photos that I (or someone else) took [of me]. As a female, you probably understand me, no? No...it's just me, okay. That's cool, too. (Not really; I'm just trying to comfort my hurt ego.) 

Does an overload of photos bother y'all? I actually don't mind them because this blog is sort of like my journal. I enjoy seeing good photos of myself (no matter how grainy they may be -- I honestly need a better camera), so I feel as if I am going to continue doing a photo overhaul. But don't worry! I hardly get a ton of good photos of myself, so don't worry about it being too much. (Haha!)

This dress is so airy, which makes it the perfect wear during the summer months. I'll also add it to my autumn rotation as well. I will most likely just have to layer up a bit more because of how thin the fabric is. That's something I am willing to do because I refuse to put this piece up for the cooler months. It's too pretty of a fabric. Plus, it is pretty much an ode to my (at times) childish and zany personality. (Hello! Because what child doesn't like bikes?)

The shoes are also a new back-to-school purchase for me.  I got them from Sears. (They were new in-store and on sale for $15!!!) Along with these flats, I purchased a pair of black riding boots with gold accents and black combat boots. (Both were on sale, too!) I am in love with a lot of the things that I have for back-to-school. Although, if I had the opportunity to not have to go to school, I would gladly give everything back. Eh. I dislike high school that much, y'all. Shameful? A little.   

Spotify is my new best friend. I've recently discovered that it does not cost (unless you decide to go premium), and it has not been turned off since. I am making playlist after playlist after playlist. My most recent one is based on EDM. I embedded the playlist below, so check out the tunes that I added! (PLEASE do listen to Skrillex's Remix of Cinema by Benny Benassi & Gary Go - it's pure awesomeness, for a lack of better words.) I also recommend the Tomorrowland 2014 playlist! It's really astounding, and it features amazing artists! 

I am slowly trying to get back on Midwest time. It's been a bit of a struggle with sleep and eating, but it's gradually getting better. Sadly (yet excitingly), I am going away today for the weekend for a camping thing for Generation of Promise (a program that I am doing for my 11th grade year). So, instead of sleeping in like I wish I could, I'll be doing bonding exercises and stuff like that. Jeez. A break is necessary. 

Anyway, about this outfit - I wore it yesterday when I went to go pick up my schedule for the school year. I did not wear the black sandals with it; I wore leopard print sling sandals, but I did not feel like getting them when shooting these photos. (My laziness can be blamed on jet lag!)

Here she is: my [best] friend, Treasure. I've talked about her numerous times before on this blog, but I don't think I've ever formally introduced my partner-in-crime. We hung out this past Saturday. It was a seriously fun day full of belly laughs, soda, dancing, and talking about stuff that two normal people would never attempt. {And that, my friends, is something that we are not. Normal I mean.}

I later changed out of this outfit because...er, well, it was boring? Well, it was too girly for the look I wanted to go for that day/night. So, I changed into this cute, bad--- outfit. Y'know that I thought I was doing something. Haha. Too bad that we didn't go anywhere really. But, hey! It's wearing the outfit that makes me happy, not where I wear it to. {Insert an eyeroll here.} Besides, this was the perfect outfit because it really went with the choreography that Treasure and I made to "Fancy" by Iggy Azalea.

I wore this outfit on Father's Day. 

I love mixing patterns now. If you would have told me to wear leopard with another pattern, let's say a year ago, I would have cringed at the thought. I mean, bold patterns like leopard only go with solid colors. Duh. Or so I thought. Now, I will gladly throw on some leopard sandals while I'm wearing a floral print. {Too much? Eh.} But it's the point - pattern mixing is fun!

Anyways, now that my time to attend Stanford's Summer College is quickly coming up, I am double checking everything, getting ready to pack my bags, buying any extra books that I'll need offline {because, seriously, the books on campus are ridiculously priced!}, and mentally getting myself prepared to jet off. My heart is seriously beating 10x as fast as normal. That's how nervous I am. 

I have printed off my Sociology syllabus, and it breaks down everything, which makes me slightly more more calm, yet more nervous at the same time. I mean, dude! It's a bunch of reading. {Like I didn't know that.} But the bonus is that my final is a paper and project instead of a test, which I really love. Tests suck. Projects, eh, I can do that.

This is the day that finals begin. I'm nervous, yet anxious as heck to get them over with.

These pants are the epitome of perfect. I recently purchased them from Debs (along with a spring/summer sweater, a shirt, and some free flip-flops). When I bought them, I continued to try to wear them, but I just never got the pairing right, so I stopped. Yesterday, though - ooooh, yesterday - I saw a photo of a white, sleeveless, button-down shirt tucked inside pants like mine, and a light bulb went off in my head. Ding! Ding! 

I paired the same shirt with these pants and loved 'em. But, I wanted to wear this chambray shirt, so I tossed that on instead. But, once again, I changed back as I got some A1 sauce on the sleeve of my shirt {boo!}, and the weather got hotter anyways. It meshed up really nicely, I suppose. 

I am also so irritated. My school's final schedule has been posted, and I am in for another two weeks plus one day. Erhm, what? That's because of the annoying snow days that we had this school year, and the fact that my school's power is stupid and continued to go out. {Why must we be penalized for the school's issues?} Our finals begin on June 12th {the day before the original day school should be let out} and ends the following Monday, June 16th. Think about that. The twelfth is a Thursday. The thirteenth is a Friday. WE HAVE AN ENTIRE WEEKEND TO SULK AND WASTE TIME. And finally, our last final is on Monday, the sixteenth. This irritates me because I don't want to come back after the thirteenth. I really don't. Splitting finals up in the way that they are now is stupid. I hate DPS. I hate Renaissance.  

The reason that my anger is so immense is because I am technically going to school year-round. Renaissance's official last day of school this year is June 20th. That is the day before I have to fly out to California. I start college courses again on Monday. Erm, where is my week of vacation before I have to start learning again? I had high hopes to have an entire week of relaxation. But noooo, I have to go that Monday. {Yes, I am saying that I can not going to school after that Monday. Screw Renaissance.}

And I'm out.

So, this week I am trying to get back into the gym. I have not been going lately, and it kind of bites. Excuses and more excuses are the only thing coming out of my mouth, and I am getting really sick of it. My pants fit tighter, I feel ashamed after I eat certain things, and summer is here. Geez! What the heck is wrong with me? I chose the worst time possible to get lazy. Le sigh. 

I wore this outfit the other day when I had a girl's day with my mum, sister, and Granny. It was pretty cool day. The shirt is new and I purchased it here. It's very flattering and fits perfectly. I can see it making a very nice rotation around the summertime. Closet items that I know I will wear a  bunch are the best!

I just love this outfit.  I recently purchased the sweater and top from Debs {this past Saturday}. The shoes are also from Debs, but I bought those last summer. See a trend here? It is the perfect kind of outfit for a warm day, but a chilly night. I can either toss the sweater or keep it wrapped around me to fight off the cool, {almost} summer night chills.
