Apropos of Myself


"It is my belief... that the truth is generally preferable to lies." - Albus Dumbledore, J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

I love this quote because it totally explains my view on life. I hate lying and I hate liars. Even about dumb little things - especially about dumb little things actually! If I ask you if you think my hair looks okay, and you think it looks awful, then I want you to tell me that! I don't want to walk around all day looking frumpy. I want to find the nearest bathroom and fix it or put it in a ponytail. If you think I'm being rude, then tell me! Geez.

Liars really get on my nerves. But anywho, Harry Potter is really great. I mean, really. It's just fantastic. I never would have thought it - in fact, when I was little, I refused to read Harry Potter just to be a rebel. I never actually got around to it until the movies came out and I liked them. But I can honestly say I love Harry Potter. I'd trade places with Hermione any day, even if it meant I had to be a study freak. Haha!

You bet I'm psyched for the newest movie coming out. You bet I was mad when it got moved to this summer when it was scheduled to come out in the winter! And you bet I'm considering going to a midnight show on opening night. Haha, I really am considering it.

2 of My Favorite Etsy Shops

IMYOURPRESENT : She makes super cute dresses, skirts and jumpers. I might cave in and buy something like this jumper soon, but they're a little expensive for me seeing as I have no job at the moment.








Hide & Seek Clothing : I'm really in love with this cardigan. I just want one for my very own! The designs are really funny and random, which is totally my thing. I mean, come on, look at the little elephant! He grew to be with the giraffe!! Awww








Books


Back from the library! I didn't find any good books really. I got the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and A Murder, a Mystery and a Marriage both by Mark Twain. And a book of magic tricks just for fun.
I didn't have a list of books I wanted with me, and the library didn't have any suggestions on books that I could find - no reading lists or book clubs or anything! It was quite annoying. Next time I'll need to bring a list.

Also, I drove a stick shift car to the library! For the first time! It was difficult to get started, but then it was no problemo.

outfit post #1



This was from the day of my math exam, which I found out yesterday I did quite well on. The shorts are rolled up capris that used to be my mother's, and the shoes are also from her closet. (Well, they were, but now they're in mine.) The t-shirt is an old one from Delia*s, and I made the bracelets a while ago.
The bag in the second picture I got in the mail. I don't know where it came from!! I love it though. I used it to carry the few things I needed for exams, so I didn't have to carry my whole messenger.

Good Day

BDG Sheer Cardigan

Lucy Love Cabana Blue Dress

Natural Canvas TOMS

As far as bags go, I’d say a simple tote bag or a clutch. I suppose you could also do a canvas messenger if you need a bigger bag. I’m a big fan of this outfit right now. I might need to go to the store and get that dress. Hopefully it's not too long.

(Good Day by the Click Five is stuck in my head, thus the title)
