Hmm...so I'm sort of back. I say sort of because I'm not sure how many outfit posts I'll be able to do given the fact that I got rid of more than half of my wardrobe. I've got maybe four or five skirts left and some corduroys and jeans and that's it, and I have pretty much five or six shirts in total. My outfits will definitely lack originality since I don't have much to work with, but whenever I do have some nice combinations, I'll be sure to post them here.

Here's a little something to catch you up to what I've been up to lately:

-I went natural (hair-wise). I haven't straightened my hair in almost two months and I'm loving the natural look so far. It's so very versatile!
-I quit the musical. It wasn't worth all the stress and time and it just wasn't doing it for me.
-I'm working on getting in better shape & generally being healthier. This includes what I put in and on my body.
-I'm also working on a more positive outlook on life.
-I'm contemplating dying my hair with Henna.

So that's pretty much it. Nothing extremely amazing has happened just yet, but I know something truly powerful will happen soon. (I've been in a MAJOR rut lately and I need to claw my way back out.) I just want to specifically thank Pretty Little Pictures for that comment. I honestly wasn't planning on returning so soon.

Without further ado, here is today's outfit:

Sometimes I swear I had to be a ballerina in a past life. I wish my parents had let me keep attending lessons when I was little. I used to love it. This skirt I wore Wednesday reminds me of something a ballerina might wear. Hence some of the poses. The rest I attribute to a lack of sleep and brain cell leakage. And over the Thanksgiving holiday, I got my eyebrows threaded. I'm still getting accustomed to the slight change.


Before I assault you with more pictures (outfit post from Thanksgiving Eve), I wanted to just say thank you to Anna, Mary, Saorise, Andrea, and Nadine for commenting. I love what you guys embody and it's a treat to see people that I aspire to leaving me such sweet comments. You're all amazing. And regarding the musical auditions, I'm in, and my part is "Servant". As they say...there are no small roles, only small actors. (Obviously they got all the leads). Really though, I'm quite excited for the wild ride that is musical theater.

I've been really inspired by the school-boy blazer trend going on recently and plaid skirts. I thought about combining them and the result is the top half of me belonging at a boy's prep school and the bottom half belonging at an all girl's Catholic school. Oh and yellow shoes. Mostly because those are just wonderful. And they compliment the red so well. I also had fun with ribbons.

I am beginning to think that I am a glutton for punishment. I'm going to audition for our school musical, A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, which will now be referred to as AFTHOTWTTF (good graces! even the acronym is long!!) or AFTH. Apparently the common sense half of my brain has stopped working because I'm already drowning in work and responsibilities and now I'm adding more to the mix. But, I miss acting and singing and theatre in general, so I'm going to go for it. Auditions are on Monday. I'm going to cry.

Yes, today I was 'mon petite Parisian Muni'. I wore the beret I got from the flea market I went to last Sunday. I also wore my brand new skirt and shoes from Target. I felt so cute until a party pooper made a side comment to his comrade about my outfit. "Why is she wearing those shoes? And what's with the hat, we're not in France!" Well, excuse me for trying to liven things up a bit.
