I scream, you scream, we all scream for...

Today was a very special occasion in the town of Mansfield: 

Main Twist is Open Again! 

It's now officially springtime... now all we need is for the farmers market to start up!

(May is when that begins)

I like the simple things

I feel so great today! 

I found out I did well on my astronomy exam, and I got to go out of class early. 

I moved my recital a bit later which is a huge relief!

I even had a super relaxing and productive lunch hour at Night & Day

Don't forget to enjoy the simple things, like a bright blue sky, or whipped cream on your coffee.

What Would A Nerd Wear?

Tribute Post: 

Almost 2 years ago I began blogging, and one of the very first blogs I began to follow was What Would a Nerd Wear. The blog was started by a grad student documenting her outfits as a way to inspire more creative and professional dress... clearly that is right up my ally! Well I just read a post today announcing that she would no longer be continuing the blog- it's a really sad moment to learn that one of your favorite inspiration blogs is saying goodbye... Check out her Goodbye Post. I know it might seem silly to say I will miss someone I don't know- but reading a blog really connects you. I will miss reading the posts a lot. So check out a few photos- and visit her blog for some great fashion inspiration before it is no longer. 

 

And probably the most helpful post ever: 

World's Easiest Skirt 

My version of the skirt:

Take some time and check out her blog- it's basically amazing! 

**I do not claim to own any of the pictures except the last ;)**

Break time

Feeling the weight of the world. 

Take a video break with me. 

Enjoy.

My First Guest Post!

OK, so it isn't nearly as exciting as it sounds- but I got to do my very first guest post on another blog (kinda). For SAI we have a blog feature on our website and I was chosen to do the post this week. I am pretty stoked about it... and wanted to let all my regular blog readers see my guest post over at SAI's page. 

So hop on over there and see the original post: Retrospect!

And purely for entertainment reasons: 

The Wear-Drobe: Rock the Frock!

The weather has been so nice lately basically all I have been wearing is dresses! (I don't have access to pictures of all the dresses I wore over spring break yet- a whole bunch of pictures are trapped on my sisters camera!) I did manage to get a hold of one of the pictures of my outfit to go see Into the Woods! 

I went to the show with Ryan, and we had dinner beforehand and Gabby was so great and the rest of the cast was really entertaining!

 I just recently got this dress at a thrift store for a few dollars it's so comfy and a lovely color for springtime. 

Tomorrow seems like another good dress day! 

Fashion Tip: Shop second hand if you are going to shop! It is so much cheaper, you can find more unique styles and it's kind of fun giving a dress a new life in your closet!
