What I Wore: Happy Orange and Homemade

 This was my first time wearing a coat this season!  I love the bright orange and shape of this coat.  I got it at the tail end of last winter so it only got a few good outings before it had to wait for this year in a closet.

This was actually the second dress I made when I started learning how to sew last year. I wore it out only once, but I'm not sure why.  I think I get so sick of my projects by the time they are finished that I banish them into the depths of my closet.  I think it's a cute basic dress that should get a lot more use.  We will see if that happens!

what I wore: red hair

I can't believe I have forgotten to post these pictures of my red hair until now.  So, now that I have had red hair for almost a month, here is an outfit post! 

I also have to gush about these pants.  You can't tell in the pictures, but they are velvet!  I loved wearing them- they just didn't fit right.  They were good for one day, but I'm afraid they will have to go into storage for my vintage shop.

Good afternoon!  I hope everyone had a better valentine's day than me(mine included not getting a val-o-gram at school, and working after school until 9 pm.  At least I had an awesome dress!

what I wore: valentine's day

 The big reveal!  I have been aching to wear this dress to school and post about it! This is the dress I sewed for star events(and got silver).

Did I get many stares? Oh yes.  I got many compliments and some not nice looks and laughs as well.  I like to think on the compliments.  Besides, the people that laughed definitely are not ones I want to resemble at all.  My valentine's day outfit was meant to be big and cheesy.  Success!   I made the cherry dress, crocheted an X and O scarf, and paired it with vintage gloves.

what WE wore: besties

I felt Lauren needed to be in my outfit post. She is going to make many more appearances here.  

So this is my best friend, she is pretty great.  We are both artists, vintage lovers, crafters, and seamstresses.  We both have plans to go to an art college.  Lauren wants to study visual art and I want to study fashion design and visual art... I am undecided.  We make each other better personality wise, artistically, and socially.

what I wore: star events regionals

 Why hello friends!  Today is a great day!  I missed school to compete in star events and guess what!?  I got silver!  How ecstatic am I?  Well.. very!  I really was unprepared due to procrastination, but state isn't for months, so I have so much extra time!  My goal for state?  Gold!

The dress code for star events was pretty strict- black skirt to the knee, white, black, or red blouse.  It left me a little room for creativity so I decked myself out in vintage, of course!

I am so excited to share my dress with you, but I want to wait until I fix a couple things on it and wear it on Valentine's day first!

what I wore: the eve of star events area competition

Yes, the time has come to stop the procrastination.  The time to make everything for star events has come and gone.  Why am I still not ready?  

I never finished the poster I needed(yesterday's project), and on top of that I need to make a heart shaped hat and flash cards!

what I wore: procrastination

  

My best friend Lauren, (who has a blog now!) told me today in AP art that I don't write enough on my blog. I post often, just not enough words are used.  And I she is right!  I can never get my thoughts to come across well in writing.  my sarcasm doesn't translate well.  But starting now I will try to do better!  

So where is procrastination in this outfit post?  That it even exists, my friends.  Procrastination is written all over. I should currently be working on a poster and crocheting a scarf for Star Events.  (The competition I'm sewing for)  Did I mention it's on Wednesday!?  Everything has to be done tomorrow after school, which puts me in a bit of a panic.  So- tonight I crochet, tomorrow in my two sewing classes I assemble a poster. Wish me luck!

 My grandpa strongly dislikes this hat.  I love it.  Since it was so cold, I took advantage of the weather and wore it.  Ta da!  It's not so stupid now, is it Grandpa?  ;)
