The F in Fasting does not stand for Fun



At the very beginning of summer, I did a fast with my friends. We only ate raw foods for 4 days. I could never be a raw vegan, or definitely not a fruitarian. It's just crazy. I mean, it wasn't impossible, it just wasn't pleasant.

Shades - flea market, 25 cents
Dress - Forever 21, $23
Shoes - were my mom's forever ago
Bracelets - made by me
& the necklace that I thought I was wearing doesn't appear to be there...weird. It looked cute, and it only cost me a quarter at the flea market.

As always, click on the picture to see it bigger. & post your comments please! I would love to know what you think, good or bad! Honesty is the key here (and everywhere) Please post your opinions below!! :D

Online Shopping

I have mixed feelings about online shopping. And in order to be a true Gilmore Girls fan, I must explain why using a pro-con list.

PRO's
  • No one else - very few other people will have it
  • You can get stuff cheap
  • It's stuff you couldn't get in the store
CONS
  • You can't try on clothes
  • It can be a hassle to return things, if you can even return them
  • Sometimes just going to the store can get you a better deal on something
See, I want new pants, right? And I was looking online at American Eagle, which I realize isn't the best place to get jeans, but I have a really hard time finding pants that fit, and a friend of mine who is about the same size told me she got a pair there that fits her perfectly. So I found 2 pairs of pants that I want:

The only thing is that they only have my size online. NO stores within 400 miles carry them, according to their online locator thing which is usually pretty accurate in my experience. And I don't even know if the pink would look good on me, you know? I mean, I can always return it, but it's just such a hassle.

Perhaps I'll consult ma mere later... for now I have a birthday party to go to. Speaking of, I had a great time at the beach. The waves were incredibly rough though, never seen anything like it. I almost drowned, I'd say honestly about 20, 25 times. And I did get a little sunburned, but it wasn't bad at all luckily. And my hair is a lot lighter now from the beach water and the sun. It's awesome :)

Outfit posts tomorrow or the next day, at the very latest Saturday. I'm very busy lately. I haven't even had time to work out. :( I'm really behind on my training.

F21 wishlist: DRESSES

I thought it was Thursday.
It's Wednesday.
Even after having an entire conversation with my mother based on the fact that it is Wednesday, I thought it was Thursday. So now, my week has an extra day in it that I wasn't expecting.

BUT ANYWAAAYS,
I absolutely adooooore dresses. And also, as you can see, I love floral prints. I'm also big on navy and gray, but purple makes its appearances too.

Simpler ones go lovely with anything, so I love having them in my closet. Which I organized today (or over the past 3 days, rather)

I like this color of blue, and I like flowers :D

Again, love flowers, and I saw the one on the right in the store, and it's very cute

Changing it up, but still floral :P

There! One that's not floral OR navy! :P

I love florals, but I'm not a fan of strapless. However I think this dress is cuute. So just put a cardigan over it! :P


The 2 dresses I bought earlier this month at F21:

I adore both of them, but unfortunately the navy one doesn't look flattering when I wear a strapless bra, so I can only wear it with a cardigan, and I don't have one that looks cute with it that's summery (the one time I wore it I borrowed a friend's cardigan) so I either have to buy a new cardigan or wait until it's colder. Of course, I was planning on getting more cardigans anyways. But still, it's upsetting.
Both of them are pretty short though. And that's odd, considering how short I am.



After I get back from my big birthday shopping spree in July (my b-day's in September, but the shopping is in July), I'm going to take all my leftover cash and go to F21, and try on every dress and buy every cute one. Their dresses are cheap, so I think I can do it.

I much prefer dresses to pants. Don't get me wrong, I love jeans, but as I said before, I adooore dresses. If I could, I'd wear one every day. Except I hate repeating dresses. I try to wait as long as possible before repeating unless I'm changing something majjoor about how I wore it. Usually, for school, I'll wear a dress once a year. I haven't broken that rule yet actually. Maybe next year/

behind the times - calvin klein

No, CK's not behind the times, I am. Because I just heard about this:

This "borderline pornographic" ad has been replaced with a boring one. I don't really have anything to say about it that hasn't been said, so it's a waste of posting it, but whatevs.
one of the numerous articles about it~ click

More posts to come, but I'm going to the beach for the weekend, so not until after that - hopefully a bundle of new outfit posts
