This is my favorite necklace of all time.

Bonus: My bf’s a Sagittarius. Coincidence?
Double bonus: Chest freckles! 

I call this outfit the “Art School uniform.” But check out the socks! And the necklace! I love little details. 

Dress- Dorothy Perkins
Necklace- ASOS
Socks- Dorothy Perkins
Boots- I can’t remember. They are old.  

You are witnessing a historic moment. I have not worn a pair of pants in years. But here I am, trying some on. Who knows. Maybe it’ll become a regular thing.

Probably not. Dresses rule. 

This is me and my great-grandma two years ago. She passed away not long after I took this photo. Tonight, I’m missing her something fierce. We lived next door to her from the day I was born. And when we moved away, I didn’t want to go. I touched my fingers to her mirror, leaving little kid fingerprint smudges. She never wiped them off. She just wiped around them for 20 years. 

When I was little we’d get up at dawn and I’d sit on the counter sipping coffee, eating toast. She’d shuffle around in her dressing gown and I’d make her tell me stories about growing up in Oklahoma during the Dust Bowl.

My grandmother weighed about 250 pounds her entire life (85 years). She taught me grace, compassion and loving yourself at any size. I love you, Gram. I would give anything to hear your voice again.

Rocking the asymmetrical bangs since ‘95

My boyfriend sent me this AMAZING letterpress bear hug cut-out! (Photobooth photo is of us when we first met). 

I miss you tonight. 

This is what I was wearing tonight when a girl at the bus stop called me “gross.” 

But what could ever be gross about a happy woman?

I actually don’t think that this photo is any better than the one I took last night the second my Dorothy Perkins package arrived. Oh well. Second verse, same as the first!

Technically this is a tunic and not a dress. One of the advantages of being 5’3” is that I can wear shirts as dresses. Score!

Oh this is really adorable. I wonder if I could pull something like this off.

Don’t worry about “pulling it off.” Just do it! It’s the best way to become comfortable with yourself. A year ago I would’ve NEVER worn something like this (meaning something showing my legs). I think you can pull anything off if you have a bit of confidence.

my best butt ever

So, after it finally went on sale, I snatched up this lace skirt I’ve had my eye on for months. It came in the mail today and I couldn’t be more pleased! It swishes beautifully as I walk and I got a ton of compliments on it.

AND! It kind of reminds me of The Craft. 

I went back to Louisiana for the weekend to visit family. My sister took a picture of me in my favorite magnolia tree. I look happy, huh?

Look what I made today!

Tonight I was half-woman/half-owl for our Printmaking Carnival. Just call me Owl Jolson.
