Sad Face

Today I am sad.
I feel blaaahhhhhhhhh.

My baby sister left for Austin again.

I've been working quite a bit. Its good money. but when all you do is work and sleep, it gets old. I LOVE my job and the people here, but I am in a weird in-between-phase. Im a PCA, but Im going to nursing school, but I'm not a nurse yet, so I dont really fit in with either group.

I miss my friends. I have 3 best friends, my family, and a LOT of 'friends' or acquaintances. Im busy, my friends are busy, my family is busy, and I dont always feel up to inviting my acquaintances to hang out. I know that my focus is suppose to be school right now, and it is. But it is easy to get caught up seeing other people off enjoying life while I am stuck giving 1000% to school.

Thankfully I still have my boyfriend.

He really is the best.

I guess what I am saying is that I absolutely cannot wait to be done with school, to be married, to have a normal life! I am ready!

Looking Glass

Ya'll, Im sad.
I was looking back at my blog over the last year, since we did have our ONE year anniversary a few weeks back. And I miss it. I miss being able to blog everyday. I miss being able to dress up and have boyfriend take pictures. Its just not the same. I know nursing school is my priority right now, and I wouldnt trade that for the world. I just miss it.
But I hope that ya'll will enjoy the more "life style" approach I've been taking lately, and that you dont mind my phone photos too much.
I am what I am.

Also, I've gained some weight. It sucks. Sure, ten or fifteen pounds isnt too much, and I know I still look okay. But I dont feel like me. My clothes dont fit. I just feel gross. Because of school I dont exercise anymore and Im sure I've consumed my fair share of sugar during late night study sessions. My main priority will always be school and becoming a great nurse. But, hopefully this semester I will be able to change my diet and add a few work outs in there.

FALL

Last week I went crazy and spent wayyy too much money shopping.

Most of these pieces I can start wearing now and will carry me into the fall. I feel like most of my fall shopping is done for now, with the exception of a few pieces.

Here's what I got:

(and how I plan on transitioning it from summer to fall)

1. Cheeta print tank top- what needs to be said, this piece will be great on its own now and will look perfect layered during the fall. I am in love with this print!

2. Khaki shorts- its Texas, it's not going to cool off untill at least November. I think the khaki will blend perfectly into fall with other browns, oranges and mustards pieces that I already own.

3. Rust colored Maxi - I've been wanting one of these for ages. It finally went on sale at Target. Not bad for $12!! I think this is a great color for fall and will go with several pieces I already own. This baby, a Vneck and a scarf for fall will be repeated daily.
4. Turquoise top- This pieces will be great on it own now for summer with shorts and can easily transition into fall with jeans, boots and a blazer.
5. Yellow Star Sweater- I opted to get this piece in a size larger than normal. I've been feeling a little body concious lately, and I feel like this piece will look perfect in a more relaxed fit. I love this print. Its so fun! This piece will be perfect with shorts when the weather is not 100 degrees and will work with jeans and boots as the temperatures continue to drop.
6. Pale neon green oxford- I've been wanting a great colored oxford for ages. Luckily Old Navy had a huge assortment of them in various colors. I decided on a pale neon. Sadly, this picture doesnt do it justice. I think oxfords are great for any time of year. The neon with work great for now and still be on trend in the fall with some black skinnies and boots.

What I'm still lusting over for fall:

black leather jacket

leather leggings

burgandy leggings

any thing with polka dots

ankle boots

What do you want for fall 2012?

A thrifting I will go

Tuesday I went thrifting with my sister. I had a 50% off entire purchase coupon to Value Villlage. That thing is like gold. I went crazy. Bought 10 skirts. it was wild.

I also bought a few creepy pictures.

Thats the kind of thing you do when you have 50% off.

Here are a few crappy pictures from my phone.

Summer Time
