Summer Uniform

My butt is so ridiculously flat in these jeans lol! I don't mind though, I gave up on that years ago. 

I love simple outfits like this one. This will definitely be my go-to summer outfit. I'll probably wear high-waist shorts instead of jeans, all the same though. 

I'm wearing an American Apparel crop top t-shirt & high waist jeans, H&M mesh booties. Until next time...

The tripod arrived!

My tripod arrived today! I snapped a few shots in my room to get back in the flow of using one. Since I never used a SLR camera with one before it was a little difficult but using a tripod is always a challenge. Some of the pics came out blurry. I did have it on manual focus though. I hate the flash but my desperately in need of interior decoration room is ill lit.

I threw this on to go pick up my mom from work and return some library books that I was very sad to see go. So I look a mess for the most part. I depend way to much on makeup but it's also not my fault that I suffer from acne aka the devil.

I don't know what it is but whenever I take pics using my tripod I always look like a deer stuck in head lights. I can never seem to relax my face so that it looks natural but with a person taking them I'm fine.

I'm wearing an American Apparel reversible pullover, American Apparel high-waist jeans and forever 21 boots. I'm very excited about these boots because I've never owned a pair like these before. In high school I always wore high heeled boots and when I went to college I wore the same pair of combat boots with everything.

Decided to chop all of my hair off. Still getting use to it but I love it. It's acting really weird and rebellious today. 

I'll be back tomorrow to show you this beautiful faux fur coat that I got from H&M. 

Until next time. 

Settled In

It's been two weeks now since I've been in DC. I'm finally feeling comfortable and getting use to the area I'm in. I don't know why I keep saying DC! I actually live in Maryland which is 20 minutes from downtown DC. Since I stay in the DMV area, I can just go 5 minutes down the road and I'm in DC or  Virginia. So it's the metropolitan area. I just LOVE going downtown, which is where all the monuments and things are. Absolutely beautiful! The city just looks so big and full of surprises. I love that! Too bad I don't live downtown. I don't even want to get into what my living situation is! Absolutely dreadful! 

Finally got to put my new camera to use. I let my brother take pictures of me because I don't have a tripod anymore. It broke. The pictures are a little blurry and the quality isn't that great because I shot at the worst time, so lighting is bad and this is like my brother first time using a camera, at least that's what it seemed like.

I planned on finding a job within the first two weeks of me being in town. I've only been on one interview, by choice. I'm trying to work at H&M and I'm currently going through the interview process. I got called back for my second interview today. Let's hope this falls through. If not, I'll being taking my behind right back to American Apparel.

It's actually been cold here but this week we're getting some nice warm weather, so I wanted to wear this strapless top that I didn't get a chance to wear back in Florida. I paired it with my high waist jeans for a casual look. I really want some boyfriend jeans. I'd wear those suckers every other day. They look great with everything! Let's definitely ignore my HIDEOUS hairstyle. Absolutely hate it!! It's a very awkward length and does not flatter my face but I have to stick with it for now, sadly.

My Narnia

I finally got around to doing a shoot to capture my braids. I took way to many photos. I hate when I have too much to choose from. I shot at this little park that's located in my neighborhood. I call it my Narnia. It reminds me of the The Chronicles of Narnia. Hopefully you've seen the movie so you won't be lost. Anyway, it was so pretty and surrounded by trees. I loved it.

The shirt I'm wearing is a DIY. Fringe is becoming really trendy and I love it. I paired it with a pair of high waist jeans that I got at the thrift store recently. I will be making them into cut offs, dying and studding them. Stay tuned for that. Enjoy the photos...

Ripped & Bleached Denim

Yes, the old hair is back! It's not staying though. I just didn't feel like doing my hair so I threw this on. I must say, I don't like it as much anymore. I use to be in love with it! I really just want some change.

I'm premiering the high waist pants that I got from the thrift store that I bleach and ripped. They're now one of my favorites, little tight in the waist though. They're a size 25...I wear a 27. The only reason I can get into them is because they're high waist. Still love them though. The shirt, glasses and necklace I'm wearing are recent purchases from forever 21, a haul I will be posting soon.
