I watched the full wedding this morning, it was beautiful. I also got a much improved view of the dress and saw all of the hats. Major love to Beatrice.
Skirt: American Eagle. This outfit feels very chill and sort of dull to me. But it's the weekend and I'm sick and I spent the day working on a power point with my friend. Feel free to start calling me Excuses Elphaba.
Sweater: H&M. This is a really special sweater for no reason.
Purse: Thrifted
Scarf: American Apparel.
Necklace: New Zealand.
Tshirt: Target. Blahhh never wear tshirts again.
Shoes: Simply Vera by Vera Wang at Kohls. Don't hit me.

Day 120: Here that, Caitrin?
I, Caitrin Grace Bogart Sweeney Pod, am so excited about the Royal wedding! No one in my school seems excited--at all. It's sort of a buzzkill. At least it would be, if my buzz was killable. BUT NAY. I didn't wake up at 4:00 AM to watch because I'm sick and school and all of the obvious issues. But I saw the dress before school. Holy shit. The dress rocked my world. I'm not gonna talk about it at length, but my mind keeps straying back to it and I can't accurately explain why. But certain items of clothing sort of take me away, and this was one of them. It embodied a lot of qualities I value in clothing. Also, I don't really like weddings and don't believe in marriage and don't plan on doing either. But this wedding--specifically this dress--are something else entirely.
Blouse: Thrifted. I'm at my dad's and completely forgot my brooches (not that I have any that are worthy of any praise except "Oh it was only 50 cents?!") so I don't feel appropriate for this magical day. Though, Laura and I are planning on going fancy hat shopping soon.
Dress: Forever 21. Velvet is classy, right?
Belt: Ralph Lauren.
Watch: Thrifted. I think I need another watch. Perhaps one that isn't an hour early.
Shoes: Simply Vera by Vera Wang at Kohls. Goddamn. We are all sick of these shoes. I promise I'll go shoe shopping soon.

Day 119: In expectation.
I've realized I love hiding my face. I don't want to know what this says about my personality.
Shorts: Delia's. We're learning clothing in French right now and I like their words for things much better. Mostly because they keep items like 'shorts' and 'pants' singular. It makes more sense.
Sweater: H&M. I always wear this around the house. It's my go to "I'm lazy" sweater.
Shirt: Thrifted. I don't know how this still has glitter on it. It comes off on everything.
Necklace: New Zealand.
Shoes: Old Navy.

Day 118: He's back, oh praise the sun.
I do this face a lot when I'm posing, at least once every "session". But I'm legitimately exhausted today so I have an excuse, right?
Blouse: Thrifted. One of the best blouses ever, right? Shoulder pads, shiny beading, and the red is so pungent it is giving me a headache. Also, everyone thought I looked like a Russian dancer today, but clearly I look like a Spanish Matador.
Dress: Target. This is supposed to chill out the blouse, but it was unsuccessful because it just enhanced the awesomeness.
Necklace: New Zealand. I feel weird that it's just plain against my skin. I need to add something...
Purse: Thrifted.
Shoes: Simply Vera by Vera Wang at Kohls. These are starting to get noticeably grody, I think it's time I bought normal black flats. Knowing me it will still take forever to actually happen though.

Day 117: This is dangerous, this is smooth
Untied shoe. Unbuttoned blazer. Uncared for hair. With this lack of organization, it is a wonder I did face that matches my shirt.
Shirt: Thrifted. I'm in love with this shirt. I'm so impatient when it comes to recycling pieces that I love. But if I really love it, I have to let it rest.
Blazer: Thrifted. My outfit is supposed to reflect the current spring in Ohio, where we've gotten more rain than we ever have. The skirt is spring, the blazer is the rain, and the shirt are me feelings towards discussion of rain.
Skirt: H&M. It would be fair to assume that I'm slightly obsessed with this too.
Socks: Target. I don't think these have been worn yet. I love them, they look like accordions when they're all scrunched up.
Belt: Ralph Lauren (thrifted).
Necklace: New Zealand.

Day 116: I looked at the shape of the table and found it satisfactory.
My face looks janky, but my calf is stunning. I'm transfixed. Especially since I did this pose as a joke (hence the face).
Sweater: Thrifted. This looks really random, but I woke up and realized it's monday and I just couldn't bring myself to reach past this beauty.
Skirt: Forever 21. I originally had this long instead of high waisted (for comfort, per usual) but I had to show some knee. Because you know what they say, (in)modest is hottest!
Shirt (under everything): Target.
Scarf (worn under sweater as a belt): Homemade. I need to make more belts.
Necklaces: New Zealand and Target.
Shoes: Target. God I've missed these gifts from the goddess.

Day 115: Pipes 'N Things!
Today was wonderful. By far the best day of break. I spent this easter with my vegan siblings and my non vegan brother and mom and smoked our pipes, ate vegan food, made inappropriate jokes and the like. It was incredible. My outfit is supposed to emulate Lizzie McQuire and Sister Sister.
Dress: Thrifted. I've been waiting for a special day to wear this dress and I'm so glad today was it. I'm really glad it smells like pipe tobacco now too, because pipe tobacco smells incredible. (I'm totes not encouraging smoking, but pipe smoking is really fun)
Shirt under dress: Thrifted. This was a really good thrifting trip. My brother thinks this shirt looks like one of those 3D pictures that you have to stand back to understand. My sister says it's a Monet. I think it just looks like classy 2001 or 1998.
Bag: Given to me by my sister when she lived in Ghana.
Watch: Thrifted.
Necklace: New Zealand. This was a really good day in terms of my knowing someone in New Zealand. But everyday is like that.
Socks/shoes: Target.
