SICKLY VAMPIRE AM I

The weather might have hit 50 today! Maybe. It felt like it! Especially in the sun -- which (gasp!) was out. Finally. I've been getting real sick of this weather real fast -- I'm through, I'm done, I'm finished. And, with the weather being so nice, Aaron and I decided to take a nice little walk down to the community center to take pictures by the woods and their fence (which I think is pretty nifty looking). I played my video game till late last night -- My name is Kay and I'm addicted to Bioshock Infinite -- and didn't get up to pretty late in the day today, so... pretty much all I've done today is take a walk. Oh, life is so hard. Anyway, in lieu of the good weather, I decided to go the route of shorts (which wasn't the most weather-conscious decision, but whatever) and my hand-me-down polo sweater (which, a few years back, I kept calling my "polio shirt"...hm). 

WARNING: Butt-tons of pictures coming up.

I had wa-aaaaa-ay too much fun with the camera.

PROCRASTINATION STATION

Things have been pretty crazy lately. Well, I feel like they’ve been pretty crazy, although I know some people would disagree. You’re just a lazy person that procrastinates, Kay. Yeah, pretty much. But, still. 

I had two Philosophy exams on Monday (I got a 96 on one of them -- but that 96 did not come easily!), got a job offer that I need to accept (I’m afraid of phones, so…), need to fill out an apartment form for my move, and I need to finish the fabulous Bioshock Infinite, because… you know… that’s so important (and totally not helping with my procrastination right now). 

While all these things are awesome (well, kind of), they do not give me anything remotely interesting to blog about and they make me tired and cranky, which makes me not want to go out in the cold and take outfit pictures. So, instead, enjoy a song I’ve been listening to on repeat lately and I sincerely hope everyone is having a better week than I am!

WEEKLY FINDS | WEEK #1

MONDAY 3/18

Found these lovely re-purposed collar (and/or cardigan) clips at Rebeccas Finds on Etsy. I've been dying for some collar clips like these. I have so many collared shirts that just look bleh and really need something. Collar clips just might be the way to go! I'm definitely going to get myself some of these (especially leaf-shaped ones!) in time for summer!

TUESDAY 3/19

Ah, the joys of surfing Anthropologie, where I can find things -- like this swimsuit -- that will most likely be far beyond my price range (or size), but, still, I dream of owning them. I do have a swimsuit similar to this one -- the Bathing Beauty One Piece in Wine from Modcloth -- but, of course, I'm still searching for a swimsuit that fits me just a tad better. One pieces never really fit me well, but that's what makes finding the perfect one (that does fit better than well) feel so great!

WEDNESDAY 3/20

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this yet, but I'm moving come May (or June) and have been eyeing bedroom accessories and things. I'm absolutely in love with this Blue Otomi Bedspread that I found on Fab.com a few weeks ago, even if it is so beyond my price range... it's not even funny! I'm definitely on the look out for something interesting and unique, with abstract animal prints. (Ikea might be my best bet for such a specific look, though!)

THURSDAY 3/21

Just looking at this blog for a few seconds could tell anyone that I'm absolutely obsessed with dresses. Not only that, I'm a huge fan of Peter Pan collars and belts. This bow belt red dress from Romwe.com is absolutely adorable, and -- as an extra plus -- it has sleeves. Wow, Kay, people must be thinking, Most people get excited about pockets... but not sleeves. That's weird. Okay, so... I have absolutely no dresses -- save one or two -- that have sleeves. But, hey, with cold weather ending, I probably won't need sleeved dresses for a while anyway!

FRIDAY 3/22

Floral season is coming! Can you believe winter is already over and spring's begun? Well, I can believe it, even if the weather here is making it hard. This adorable floral print, skirted shirt would be perfect for the upcoming semi-warm weather. It'd be great for putting that little extra "warm weather" oomf in an outfit. You all will definitely be seeing more floral around these parts coming up -- floral is going to be my thing this year (not that it wasn't last year or anything).

So, did you find anything cool this week?

Fabulous dresses? Quirky jewelry? Bedazzled undergarments?

WARM WEATHER + LAZINESS

Motivation has not been on my side this week. I haven't done any outfit posts, I haven't taken many pictures, and I've just been tired... all... week. Probably cause there's been a lot of snow and cold weather. In March. During the first week of spring. Ugh. Oh well, this is the Midwest, so I should expect it by now. Anyway, most of my week was uneventful -- mostly filled with catching up on politics and putting my mind back into the Philosophical gear (which has been a smooth transition from Spring Break mush). Today was the first day I did much: Aaron and I's friend, Max, came over and we went to breakfast. Then we bought Les Mis (which came out today -- yay!) and The Hobbit. Had a movie evening. Was great. Along with that, the weather wasn't blistering cold -- although it was windy -- so I got to wear out my new shirt paired with my favorite striped skirt. I loved going outside and hanging out for a bit (with the crazy two -- Aaron and Max)!

SCHOOL SCHMOOL

Well, classes were back in session today! Fortunately or unfortunately, I'm not quite sure yet. I couldn't remember how to do a single problem in my Symbolic Logic class and I missed the majority of the Batman discussion in my Ethics class (I am so terribly sad about that -- I love comic books!). I wasn't in the best of moods today for two reasons: 1. I was terrified my car was going to break down mid-way to class (it was in the shop last week), and 2. I hadn't finished much homework over break. Kay, you don't finish much homework over normal weeks. Shoosh. I know! But, hey, I still have high marks, good enough for me. So, to make myself feel better today, I dressed in a striped skirt I haven't had the chance to wear yet, my pretty scarf (which I bunched up too high in these pictures, bleh), and a red cardi. I loved the look, mostly because it was really, really comfy. And I'm wearing the earrings my mom got me, which make me happy primarily because they're cute, but they also match my bird-mania! And... I'm all about bird-mania this lifetime.

GREEN, GREENER, GREENEST

So, apparently, no one knew it was St. Patrick's Day today. (And I only found out a few days ago from another blog, so...) I was the only individual wearing green at Aaron's Dad's birthday party. There was a lot of pinching going on. But, anyway, happy St. Patrick's Day! I wore some fantabulous green today with a pair of saddle-shoes and pink. Not a fancy outfit, and far from my favorite, but -- if anyone actually knew it was St. Patrick's Day -- it would've kept my off the serial pincher's list. 

THREAD, THREAD EVERYWHERE!

Bleh.

I'll admit it: I'm a klutz with a sewing machine. I can blame it on my bad eyesight, or my shaky hands, or all other things, but -- in the end -- I'm just too impatient. Which is what was written on my freshmen year report card: "D, Too Impatient!". Ah, freshmen year sewing. That was the same year I accidentally glued my fingers together in class and had to go to the nurse's office to peel them apart! Fun times. Anyway, I got this frilly, cute shirt from Goodwill the other day and it has been a top priority. I think it's the perfect shirt to go under a cute dress, but it was just... too long, the buttons were bland, and it had this ridiculous tie in the back (see above). So, I decided to do some "style recycling" and fix it up. Here is a breakdown of what happened on this fine day (but I'll omit the images of bloody fingers... no one needs to see that).
