BEST DAY EVER!!! And it's Monday...wait, what?!

Day #61

Whoever said you can't have good days on Mondays, was wrong! I had an AMAZING DAY (for the most part)!!!

I decided to sleep in this morning, waking up at 7:20am for my 8am class. Probably not the brightest decision I've ever made, but hey. It's college. YOYO! ;)  ("you're only young once")

I didn't have enough time, nor did I care, to shower this morning before class, so I kept my hair up in the ponytail that I had it in and slept in last night. :P haha  I washed my face, changed my shirt and pants, brushed my teeth, and called it good! I didn't even care about doing my makeup or re-brushing my hair (my hair wasn't too ratchet) or putting my jewelry on, and I'm pretty sure, looking back on it now, that my outfit didn't match...oopsies...lol

I was dying of not enough sleep, and I honestly did not think I was gonna make it through the day, especially not through my 8am class! After downing a can of Starbucks Refreshers I was good to go! I was awake and focused in class, and I managed to stay wide awake until right this very moment! So yay me! :) haha  I got some SUPER exciting news in class today!!! We got our exams back, that we took over a week ago, and I only missed one question!!!!!!!!! NO JOKE. I got 98/100, since the multiple choice was two points, but when I looked online at my grades, he put my exam at 100%! WHOOP WHOOP! :))))))))  I was super energized and excited after that! I was laughing with my sister that's in my class, and I was really understanding the material, which is weird since science is not my forte...AT ALL.

Oh! Last night, I found out some super exciting news! It's about my sister (and co-author to this blog) and my brother-in-law, but I'm not going to say what it is...(its a secret) ;) haha  You'll find out eventually! But no worries. No eggo is preggo, if ya get what I'm saying! PLUS, I got a text at dinner last night from one of my sisters, who isn't very fond of me, that was really genuinely nice! I've known that she hasn't liked me since the day I joined, almost a year ago, but I've been working really hard at trying to get her to give me a chance and see that I'm a good person and that we could be good friends. Since she's been helping me choreograph Pride Cry, and we were in the same group at retreat, she's spent a lot of time with me, giving me the perfect opportunity to try to, essentially, "win her over." I know that sounds really bad, but that's basically what I've been doing. I don't like when people don't like me, because I believe that I'm genuinely a nice person, and it killed me when I found out that she hated me. And, trust me, I have evidence of her saying these words. Anyways, I'm being honest and real with her by being completely, one hundred percent me, trying to get her maybe let down her wall and actually try to get along with me. So spending time together, we've both had the chance to let down our walls and grow closer, as sisters and maybe even friends. While I was at dinner last night with Gretchen, I got a HUGE text from her, apologizing for ever being rude to me or making me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome in the chapter. She said she hopes to be friends and closer sisters, told me how amazing of a person and sister I am, and, at the very end, told me she loved me. I almost cried when I read this. No one believed that I could ever get her to see me in a good light, but I know that everyone has good inside of them, you just have to let it happen. I didn't force her to be nice to me, but I showed her that even though I knew she wasn't fond of me, I still had love in my heart for her. I just kept killing her with kindness, until she let me in. AND IT WORKED!!!!!! :)  She also said that she understands me so much more, after working together on Pride Cry and being together at retreat. I told her and a few other girls some very personal things at retreat, and I think that really opened her eyes to who I am, and not who she thought I was. So, long story short, we're friends now and we both love each other. :) lol  (it's a sisterly love, ya nasties!)

Today was actually a really great day for it being a Monday! I only had two classes, I did great on a test, got all my homework done for the day, and I just gone back from a great dinner with some sisters. :)

For my outfit today, I just wore a light grey Champion baby v-neck from Target, Iowa Hawkeye Nike Dri-Fit athletic shorts, a grey Iowa crewneck sweater, and my Nike running shoes. I was all Nike and Iowa'd out! :) lol  I wasn't feeling like getting all cutesy today, especially when I'd have to change my outfit anyways later on in the day for Pride Cry practice, which is at 8pm. Speaking of which, I should probably get ready for that and clean up my room before heading out! Have a great night, guys! Sending love and fabulousity from Iowa! :)

Sleepy Sunday

Day 60

Hey!! So... even though I slept in until noon, I was still super sleepy allllll day today. It probably didn't help that I woke up at 4:40am or so when my husband woke up (late) for work and that I attempted to let my kittens sleep in the bedroom with me after he left, which obviously didn't work since attacking my feet is their favorite thing to do. Oh well... still tired regardless :-P After sleeping in, I got ready for the day, made my husband some tea when he got home from work since his throat is super sore, and then did some driving around by our new apartment to see what's in that area for food, entertainment, and what not. Nothing too impressive, but there's a Golden Corral (which I've NEVER been to), a Village Inn, a Pizza Hut, and many more food places, so that's good. AND there's a bunch of car care places, too, just in case something happens.

The drive to our new apartment wasn't too bad. About 25 minutes in light traffic. And it's pretty easy to get there from South Tampa, too, so this directionally-challenged girl shouldn't have too many problems getting to and from our new apartment ;-)

Since today was a super chill day that didn't involve going out much, I wore a red-and-off-white 3/4 length Papaya shirt with my higher-waisted BDG denim shorts (Plato's for $8). Really comfy and really easy. Comfy was the main deciding factor for today, in case you couldn't tell :-P

So... I got a pair of Sperry's!! They're off-white, and I love them!! I bought them from Plato's for $25 since I had a $50 gift card for getting 100% on a Secret Phone Shop (that 100% also adds an additional 20% off to my discount for 2 whole weeks, making it 40% off!!). WIN for Kassy :-)

After driving around, my husband and I came home and just relaxed for a while before ordering Pizza Hut. Little miss Arya was all over cuddling with her mommy, and I, being accommodating and loving mom I am, couldn't say no to her cuddle needs ;-) We literally cuddled for like 2.5 hours, and I loved every single minute of it!! I mean, look at that adorable face!!

Here's a better picture of my adorable little Arya. I love her to pieces!!

After mommy-Arya cuddle time was over, Arya and Khaleesi started cuddling on the top of their tower. HOW FREAKING PRECIOUS!! I love my little fluffy babies!!

And now, it's time to focus on SnapChatting Korry and watching Clueless, so yeah... until tomorrow... Stay fabulous, my fellow fashionistas :-) Ciao!!

RONALD MCDONALD!!!

Day #60

Being in Alpha Delta Pi, I get the amazing opportunity to visit the Ronald McDonald House(RMH), in Iowa City, because our philanthropy is the RMH. I get to volunteer with cleaning things around the house and outside. It's actually a requirement for each sister in my sorority to visit a RMH once a semester, but I view it as more of a privilege to get to go there. It's an awesome experience! :)

My "immediate" diamond family, so Kathleen, Ashley, and I, were the only ones to visit yesterday. Ashley and I drove there together, and Kathleen met up with us, since she was visiting her brother at the University of Iowa before our scheduled visit. There wasn't much for us to clean, so we were there for a little less than an hour.

After we got done there, we all went to the mall, in Coralville, and went to a few of the stores inside. I ended up not buying anything- SHOCKING, RIGHT?! I wasn't feeling good (with my cold) and I was tired and I needed to get home asap to do homework and what not before meeting. Luckily, we were only in the mall for maybe forty-five minutes, and then we headed back to C.F.!

I got home around 4:30pm, did a smidge of homework, changed into my outfit for meeting, and headed over to Gretchen's room, across campus, to make brownies for our bake sale and Pie and ADPi coming up. We looked all domestic and house-wifey wearing our dresses and heels while baking. We're so cool. ;) haha  But really though. We went to dinner at the other dining center by her building, and walked to meeting together after. 

Meeting went pretty well and not too long. I ended up staying afterwards for optional friendship circle, since I had exciting news to share with my sista frands! :)  That only lasted about half an hour, maybe? Then I went back to my room, did homework, and got into bed at 11pm. Not too shabby! :)

Since I was volunteering for Alpha Delta Pi, I wore my newest purple ADPi v-neck to the house. With it I wore my American Eagle skinny jeans (that I almost always wear), and my black gladiator sandals (the Candie's from Kohls). I obvi couldn't wear that to meeting, so I changed into a new floral print peplum dress from Forever21, with a peach-colored Merona cardigan from Target, and black Candie's heels. :)

I hope the start of your week was a good one! :)

Ridiculous Saturday

Day 59

Aloha!! After sleeping in until 12pm, I decided to get up, get ready, and do some minor cleaning around the apartment before my 2-10 closing shift. I ended up putting away the rest of the laundry and cleaning up my closet. It really needed to happen. My closet floor looked like a hurricane had attacked or something :-P I personally feel like that happens to every respectable fashionista, though, so it's all good. I mean, not every fashionista knows exactly what they want to wear and when they want to wear it. Not only that, but not ever fashionista has every outfit turn out just they way they expected it to. So, yeah... I think my reasoning is mostly sound ;-)

Work was really, really busy again. Go figure. I mean, was a Saturday, so of course it's going to be ridiculous busy. It was good overall, though, since everyone was having fun and interacting with each other. That always makes a work day go better. AND we have a new girl who seems A) really cool and B) like a hard worker. I have a feeling that her and I are going to get along really, really well :-P

For work, I wore a white BDG t-shirt that has a navy city skyline printed on it in a stripe-like way. I bought it from Plato's for like $5, and it's pretty cute. I added a dark teal Charlotte Russe cardigan since the store does get a bit chilly every now and then. Again, pretty cute :-) I also wore my dark wash cropped American Eagle skinny jeans that have holes in them since they're super comfy, just like the rest of my outfit.

I wanted to include a more up-close picture of my shirt since it's kind of hard to explain the pattern/print on it. I'm not entirely sure which cities have their sky lines on it, but what I do know is that I do love this t-shirt :-)

For shoes, I added an amazing pair of caramel brown no-name boots that I had bought from Plato's for a mere $11. They're soooooooo fabulous, right?!?! Right!! LOVE THEM!! I had seen these boots the very first time I had ever been in this Plato's, knew I HAD to have them, and ended up buying them a month or two later once I had been hired. Hey, when I know I have to have something, I make it happen :-)

I had to work until 10 instead of 9:30 because my boss wanted to teach me how to do payroll paperwork since our Assistant Manager (who used to do it) is no longer with us, and it doesn't look like we will be getting a new one anytime soon. Next Saturday, I'm supposed to teach another key holder the same paperwork. YIKES!! But I know I can do it!! After work, I came home to do some more homework, and I was in bed around 12:30 or so, so not too bad. The day wasn't a bad day by any means. It wasn't fabulous, but definitely not bad. Just a crazy busy Saturday work day like expected.

Anywho... time to get to my post for Sunday (today) since I've been slacking so much :-P So... Stay boot-tacular, my fellow fashionistas!! Ciao!!

Sickly Saturday

Day #59

I have not been feeling so hot today. I woke up with the sniffles, and it has only seem to get worse as the day went on. :(

Retreat was supposed to be over at or by 10pm last night, but we didn't end up getting done until 11, and then we had a fifteen/twenty minute drive home, so I didn't even get back to my room until close to 11:30. Then Gage and I talked on the phone until about 12. I got ready for bed, after an EXTREMELY emotional night (about the whole Morgan thing), and stayed up for another like two hours texting and snapchatting Gage. It probably wasn't one of my brightest ideas, but whatever. I'm over it. :)

I didn't wake up this morning until 10am, but then I laid in bed texting Gage for thirty minutes, before deciding to get ready for the day. And by get ready for the day, I mean take a shower and throw on a t-shirt and yoga pants. :P  Real classy...lol  I wore my blue "A Knight 4 LIFE 2012" Wartburg College dance marathon t-shirt and a pair of my Victoria's Secret yoga pants, with Iowa Hawkeyes written in gold on the band. Since I only left my room once, for lunch in the dining center with Morgan, I chose my awesomely amazing leopard print slippers as my shoes for the day. :)  Funny story about these slippers: My mom's mom (so my grandma) has these same slippers. She was wearing them one day when I was over at her house, and I said, "Oh my gosh, grandma! I love your slippers," because I really did, and I'm OBSESSED with leopard print! She then told me to try them on, to see if my small feet fit hers (we have the same size of feet, btdubs), and was like,"Oh okay. Hmm...," which obviously meant that she was going to get me a pair of them. She did. For my birthday. Which was months later. I freaked. :) lol  But really though, I love these slippers! I wore my first pair so much, that they got holes, so I went and got another pair...:P haha

So yeah, I went to lunch with Morgan, and it was wonderful. Two other sisters ended up joining us, but that was okay! The more the merrier, I guess. :P  She gave me a letter, basically just in response to my letter I wrote her, saying that she wishes I could have been her diamond, but she definitely considers me to be her "unofficial diamond" and she insists that we still have weekly hang outs and what not. :)  The letter was so sweet and cute, I definitely teared up a little bit! And by a little bit, I mean a lot. :P lol

I did some homework and skyped with Gage after lunch, went to Target with my mommy to get a few things, and then I went to work at 5pm. Work was hectic, but that's typical. I love my co-workers, so they make up for the stressful days. :)

Oh! I got a package today! I had ordered a Pandora ring, called My Princess, on Thursday, and it was supposed to be in on Monday, but it came early! Yay!!! :)  I love it! It's so pretty, and it has a tiara on it, so la duh. Obvi I'm gonna love it! <3 lol  But really though.

I need to get back to work now though, so this is it for today. Have a super Saturday night, fashionistas! :) Stay fabulous. :)

Day Off!!

Day 58

Hey!! Who had a day off with her husband on Friday?? This girl did, that's who!! And it was fabulous!! We slept in until 10:30 or so, got ready for the day, went to Village Inn for breakfast at lunchtime, and did some apartment hunting. Then, we got some groceries and some food for our furry babies. We also made some burgers for dinner and spent the rest of the night relaxing. It was an amazing day off, if I do say so myself :-)

We looked at like 3 or 4 places and ended up finding a new apartment!! It's soooooooooooo much nicer than what we currently have, and I'm crazy excited!! There's a gate, 2 pools, a fitness center, a car care center, and assigned parking PLUS our apartment is on the second floor, has a entry way with a closet and our own private staircase, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a fireplace, 2 built-in bookshelves, TONS of storage (2 walk-in closets, linen closets, etc), and a balcony. All for $977 a month. IT'S PERFECT!! YAY :-) The catch, though, is that we have to sign our lease on October 12 and move in on the 14th/15th. Our current lease doesn't end until October 28th... So we will be renting 2 places at 1 time for like 2 weeks... NBD. AND we have to be ready to move in to our new place in like 2 weeks as well. CRAZY!! But I'm still super excited. We are finally getting our money's worth in safer area.

So for our amazing and productive day off, I wore my adorable off-white no-label dress that I got from Plato's for $12. It's so cute!! It's also super comfy, AND it shows off my tattoos, which is always a good thing ;-)

I love this dress because of the detailing it has on the top part. And because it is just really pretty :-) I added a gold braided belt at the waist to add some definition, which is super important. BTW.

I wore my super cute mint green Forever 21 sandals to add some color. Just a fabulous choice. My outfit was absolute perfection today, in case you're wondering ;-)

I did have a super productive and wonderful day off with my husband, and I'm legitimately super excited for our new apartment! Our kittens are going to love the carpeted staircase, and there will be videos upon videos of my kittens staircase escapades, so don't worry. It will happen :-) And onto the next post (since I'm clearly slacking like crazy)... Stay productive!! Ciao!!

-Kassy

I'm such a slacker...

Day #57

Yesterday, or Thursday, was a pretty long day again. I only had one class, but I was up late on Wednesday night doing homework and Pride Cry stuff, and then I had a whole bunch of things to get done during the day.

After my class, I worked the ADPi table from 11-11:30am, went back to my room for lunch, did some homework, and skyped with Gage before going to choreographers practice. We had decided after practice Wednesday night that we should get together the next day to finish up the choreography for Pride Cry, and we were able to successfully do that, so yay! :) haha

Gretchen and I went to dinner in the dining center with some other sisters after choreography, and then I left early from dinner to get some more homework done. I felt like I had so much to do, but really it was just a few things that were going to take a while. It probably didn't help that I was super, too, so it was taking me a while to focus and get it all done. Plus, Gage and I skyped again after dinner, so I was paying more attention to him than my homework, naturally. :P lol

That was basically my Thursday. I just did homework and Pride Cry homework. Yay. -_-

I did decide to dress up super cute though!!! I felt that it was needed, since I was so lacking in appearance the past couple of days. :P  I wore my purplish-blue blazer, that I got in Charleston from Loft, overtop of a white chiffon-like button-down long sleeve shirt, from Forever21. This was the first time I had worn these pieces of clothing, so that was pretty exciting! :)  Then, I wore my very first pair of American Eagle jeans, which are a medium shade of denim skinny jeans, with dark silver Xhilaration ballet flats that I got in the kids' shoe department of Target. BOOM. Oh, and to make the outfit even better, I added a fancy necklace, that has grey flower-type things on it, and thin silver chains dangling from the flowers. I was looking hotter than the sun!!! lol   But really though. :)







Day #58

THANK THE SWEET LORD ABOVE, IT'S FRIDAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! This has been the longest week of my life, and I'm so excited that it's finally the weekend! :)

I had my three classes again, so nothing really all that new, and I have a chapter retreat at 5pm for my sorority. Until then, though, I'm in my room cleaning and getting my crap ton of homework that I have done. :P

I feel like I have SO MUCH to do this weekend, and I'm not looking forward to it. At all. I have a ton of homework, work tomorrow, and I'm going to the Ronald McDonald house with some sisters on Sunday to volunteer, followed by chapter meeting. Oh, and I have to find time to squeeze in a choreography practice on Sunday, so wish me luck on that one. :P

I'm kind of excited for retreat tonight...It's scheduled for five hours, but I'm hoping it doesn't actually last that long. We're doing Diamond Reveal for the Alphas tonight, and I'm sad that I'm not a diamond. :(  Our standards chair decided at the beginning of the week that girls who are on grades are not allowed to get diamond sisters, even though they've been allowed to in the past. So since I'm on grades, I'm not able to have Morgan (my bid day buddy) as my diamond. :'(  I'm seriously so sad about this, and when I found out that I couldn't be her diamond, I cried. I know it sounds really pathetic, but I have such a strong bond with her that it kills me to not be able to be her mama diamond! What makes it even worse is that she keeps hinting at wanting me to be her diamond, but I don't have the heart to tell her otherwise...It sucks!!! :(  Oh well. There's nothing I can do about it. :P  I just have to keep reminding myself that things happen for a reason...

Today I went cutesy casual. I wore a Victoria's Secret black v-neck, a brown Max Studio leather jacket, dark denim American Eagle skinny jeans, black Candie's gladiator sandals, and a leopard print infinity scarf from Express. It's not the cutest outfit ever, but it's better than shorts and a t-shirt. :P  My eyes were really heavy and tired today, so I wore my glasses again, but I did manage to put on makeup and straighten my hair! I'm slowly, but gradually, getting back to the old me, where I dress nice most of the time. :) haha

I need to get some homework done before retreat, and probably change into some letters, but I'm FINALLY caught up on my part of the blog, after majorly slacking for the past week! haha  Have a great Friday night and remember to stay fabulous. :)

Longest. Day. Ever.

Day 57

OMG I hated Thursday!! It was literally the most tiresome, ridiculous day of my life!! Not. Even. Kidding. So here's the rundown: I worked a crazy busy 9-4 opening shift, drove home (to eat, relax, get the stuff ready for my class, and see my husband), left by 5 to avoid St. Pete traffic for class, got to class by 6, left class at 8:55, got gas, drove back to Tampa, went to a work meeting from 9:30-10:30, went home, and did homework until almost 1am. It. Sucked. So. Freaking. Bad. I was so tired by the end of the day, and I was super hungry as well. Just not a good day.

Work sucked because it was so busy. I was barely able to get everything done that I needed to get done. I was running around like a madwoman up until the last second of my shift. I'm not exaggerating in the least. Literally just a hot crazy mess.

Class wasn't too bad, actually. I was just super tired. To the point where I fought to keep my eyes open and my attention on the lesson. Thank goodness for a wonderful caffeinated beverage called Mountain Dew ;-)

For work, I wore an off-white racerback Stranded tank top that has a black heart on it (Plato's for $3) with my favorite golden-yellow Banana Republic cardigan. It was comfy and super cute, so of course I went for it! I added a new pair of light-wash high-waisted American Apparel shorts that have white flowers on them. I bought them from Plato's for $8, and I LOVE THEM!! At first, I wasn't sure how I felt about them, and I had bought them without trying them on. But, I do love them now :-) I added my good 'ole white braided belt to add some waist definition.

For shoes, I went with my pair of tan Mossimo flats. I figured since I had so much going on with the clothing aspect of my outfit, having a neutral pair of shoes would be best to avoid having too much visual interest. No overwhelming stuff going on here. I'm not about that life :-P

When I got home from work, I changed into a slightly different outfit for class just because. No specific reason other than I felt like it :-P I kept the cardigan but changed my under top and pants. For my top, I went with a mint green v-neck BDG t-shirt that has white feathers printed on it (Plato's for $4), and for pants, I wore my comfy dark wash American Eagle skinny jeans that I've had for forever. Super duper comfy and warm enough for my cold classroom.

I also changed my shoes... go figure :-P I went with my favorite white no name flats that have little cutouts in them. LOVE THEM!! Obviously... since I do wear them so much.

After class (and my super dumb work meeting that wasn't actually dumb but felt dumb because I was so stupid tired), I did homework for like 2.5 hours. I'm amazed that I was able to do any homework at all considering I was so exhausted. I'm definitely impressed with myself on that one :-P And now, on to my next post... Stay fabulous!! Ciao!!

TGIF: Hump Day edition

Day #54

Monday, Monday, Monday...oh how I don't like you.

Monday was brutal. I stayed up until 12:30am the previous night, studying for my Humanities 3 exam and doing other homework that was due Monday. That's the latest I've stayed up on a school night so far this semester. I don't do well with staying up that late since I wake up early in the morning, and my body is used to going to bed around 10/10:30pm. Grandma problems. :P

So I woke up early, to get ready for 8am class. When I got to class, barely awake, I ended up waiting for fifteen minutes in the class with the other students, for our teacher to show up. He never did. -_-  So I woke up early for class, after not getting much sleep the night before, only to be ditched in class by our teacher. I was PISSED! And by that point, I had already drank half of my Starbucks Refreshers, in hopes of making it through that class, so I was too awake and energized to go back to bed. I ended up going to the union around 8:15am to do homework, and I was able to get some mentored study hours done. That was really the only positive that came out of my teacher bailing on class.

I went to my other two classes, did some more studying, and chilled out for the rest of the night. Around 4pm that afternoon, I got an email from my teacher saying that he was sick and wasn't going to make it to class. NO CRAP. Does he think we're dumb? Of course we realized that there wasn't going to be class by that point! It was four in the afternoon! So dumb. :P

Band on the leggings

Since I was super tired Monday, I wore this past summer's Vacation Bible School t-shirt, from my church. The shirt is purple with a lion's face on it and it says Kingdom Rock: Where kids stand strong for God, which was the theme of VBS. I paired the shirt with black cropped yoga leggings, from Victoria's Secret, and my Nike shoes. I was tired as eff so I wore my glasses, absolutely no makeup, and I didn't do a dang thing to my hair. I'm such a catch. ;) lol

Day #55

Tuesday...I was still tired. :P lol

After class, I went to the union to volunteer at the ADPi table, advertising for Pie an ADPi. Pie an ADPi is a one of the fundraisers that we do for our philanthropy, the Ronald McDonald House, where people pay to throw shaving cream pies in our faces. :P lol  We also have a baked goods sale there, so I'm hoping to work that, and not have to get a pie in my face. Wish me luck! lol

So I did that for thirty minutes, and then I drew up formations and transitions for Pride Cry and did some homework. We had our very first Pride Cry practice later that night, so I had to make sure I had a spot for everyone, as well as making sure I had the words and the routine learned, so I could teach it. I literally spent HOURS working on the transitions and formations! I had people who were going to do Pride Cry for sure text me so I could put them in the "line up," or so to speak, so my phone was blowing up all afternoon and night! I kind of felt popular...;) haha

My dad was working on campus, so we had lunch in the union at 1:30pm, and then I did more homework afterwards, and went back to my room around 2:30 to skype with Gage.

After dinner, I had a meeting with the choreographers of Pride Cry, to run through the routine and what not before practice, and then we headed over to the WRC (Wellness Recreation Center) on campus to meet up with everyone doing Pride Cry. Practice actually went really well and we got a lot done! As a group, we ran through the lyrics a couple times, addressed outfits that we will be learning, paired up girls and guys, and finally, I gave placements in the routine and taught about a fourth of the dance to everyone. I'm really excited to see how the whole thing turns out! :)

I wore the same yoga crop leggings as Monday (judge me), a grey half-zip Victoria's Secret sweater, and my fake black TOMS from Maurices. The sweater is SUPER SOFT AND COMFY, which is why I wore it, and its has LOVE PINK written down the left sleeve in shades of purple, giving the ombre look. It's pretty cute. :)

Day #56

HUMP DAYYYYY! lol  Like really, though. TGIHD (Thank God It's Hump Day)!!! Wednesday was such a long day, but at least it meant that the week was half over.

I had all three of my classes, work, and Pride Cry practice on Wednesday. After my last class, I went back to my room to get my things for work, and then I worked from 2:30pm until 8:45pm. I was supposed to be there until 9:30, but no one came in for the last session, so I got out early. Whoop whoop! :)  I changed into shorts, a t-shirt and tennis shoes fore practice, before leaving work, and headed straight to the Sigma Alpha Epsilon (SAE) house for Pride Cry practice. Practice was scheduled for 9pm, so it worked out PERFECTLY that I got off early!

Practice went really well! We got the rest of the choreography we had done taught, we taught the new formations, since I had girls join and drop, and then I also taught transitions. Since everyone worked really hard and the dance looked great, we, as the Pride Cry committee team, decided to let everyone leave early. We're so nice. ;) lol  I went back to my dorm to do some homework, and headed to bed around 11:30pm or so.

Since I was lazy again on Wednesday, and I had to work, I just decided to wear my work clothes all day. :P  I wore the green work shirt with a grey cardigan, from Gap Kids, American Eagle dark denim bootcut jeans, and green slip on tennis shoes type thingy (lol) that matched my shirt. Glasses were worn, again, but this time I actually did my hair and makeup, so yay me! :) haha

Hopefully the first half of your week was much better than mine! :P  Stay fabulous!

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday :-P

Days 53, 54, 55, 56

Ok, so... I've been busy... And tired... But mostly busy. My Sunday 11:30-7:30 shift was pure craziness. I opened and closed the store/registers, which was kind of a big deal since I haven't actually closed down everything in over two months. Luckily it went pretty smoothly, so that's good. The day itself was crazy busy, though, so we didn't get out until 7:50. That part sucked. BUT we were able to markdown the clearance to $1 & $2, condensed the clearance to the front of the store, decorated a college-themed wall for a district-wide competition, created a homecoming dresses feature rack, and put out 5 total bins of shoes, which was pretty impressive. Still, it was a busy busy busy work day :-P

After work, I got home, ate dinner, relaxed briefly with my love, and then did homework from 9pm-1am. It was painful. I really need to stop procrastinating on my homework, especially when it's all due on a Sunday night where I have to be up early the next morning. Yeah, I had to be up by 7:30 for a meeting with the Associate Principle at Ballast Point Elementary in regards to my mandatory field experience. Not very smart of me to stay up so late... Oh well.

I kind of slacked with my outfit on Sunday in order to support my hubby's New England Patriots. I wore a Patriot's t-shirt, my cropped American Eagle skinnies that have holes in them, and my favorite white cutout no name flats that I can't seem to get enough of. What?! They're adorable and comfy, so of course I'm going to wear them a ridiculous amount ;-)

After work, I did homework for a ridiculous amount of time and then poured myself into bed. Not a super exciting night by any means.

Monday was an OK day. I had my meeting from 8:30-9, which went really well. I'm officially doing all but 6 of my 46 hours there, so that's super awesome. I was even able to set up a full day (7:15-2:45) of observations in a single classroom for Tuesday :-) Since I didn't have to be at work until 12, I ended up taking a nap when I got home. It was wonderful :-) I worked another crazy busy 12-9:30 shift where I found out that getting more than 2 weeks off a time for vacation will literally be impossible. Sucks. If we had more key holders, it wouldn't be such an issue, but there's only 3 of us plus our manager. So, yeah... Vacation requests probably won't go so well. Fantastic.

For the meeting, I wore a gray-and-light-pink Lauren Conrad sweater (Kohls for $10), a mint green Silence and Noise pencil skirt (Plato's for $6), and the cutout white no name flats. It was cute and professional. A great first impression :-)

For work, I wore navy Yale tank top (Plato's for $6), a teal Charlotte Russe cardigan ($10), and some dark denim Hollister skinnies ($25). Very comfy!! And it kept me warm in our freezing store.

I paired this outfit with some medium brown no name combat boots that I had got at Plato's for $12. SOOO comfy and absolutely fabulous!! LOVE them!!

After work, I got all of the stuff I needed for my field work ready and then hit the hay. Not too exciting :-P

Tuesday morning, I had to wake up at 6:30am to be at the school by 7:15. It was raining like crazy. Go figure. But the 7.5 hours of observation were actually pretty good despite the heavy rain. I was in a 5th grade classroom that has General Education, Special Education, and English as a Second Language students in it, which was a good mixture to see since my future classrooms may very well be the same way. I really enjoyed observing that classroom, and I'm excited to observe there again :-)

For my observation, I wanted to look professional, so I went with a black button-up short sleeve Forever 21 shirt that has white trim (Plato's for $6) with a black SO camisole underneath and some blue Express trousers ($25). Fashionable and professional :-) And the teacher I was with thought I looked cute. NBD.

I wore my nude Mossimo flats that I got from Plato's for $6 since they're comfortable and cute :-)

After my field experience, I put on a pink floral high-low Charlotte Russe dress that was a Plato's for $8 and a plain white cropped no name cardigan. So cute!! My husband had just finished the last Hunger Games book, was kind of depressed, and wanted to get out of the apartment, so I wanted to look cute when we went out to dinner. Hence, the adorable dress :-)

I wore the same flats since the matched my outfit ad since I'm lazy :-P We went to the mall, and I got a cute dress and some sandals for $18 from Charlotte Russe. Score!! Then we ate at Maggiono's (Italian), and it sooooooooo good!! YUM!!

I mean, look at that food. It's amazing!! After dinner, I stayed up until almost 1 doing homework. That part sucked. I was super tired when I finally got to bed.

And now for today (Wednesday)... I had to work a 12-9:30 shift today, and it actually wasn't too terribly bad. We were pretty bored by the end of the night, which I wasn't expecting at all, AND we did end up getting out 10 minutes early, so YAY for that!! Nothing super interesting happened at work today, other than getting to eat my leftovers from dinner for my lunch. It was still super yummy :-)

So, today I wore my new Charlotte Russe maxi dress that I got the day before. It was $12, and I LOVE it!! It has black-and-white stripes on the top and a bright blue skirt. Soooooooo cute :-) I paired it wth a yellow belt, which was a great idea.

I also wore my new Charlotte Russe sandals. They were $4.99, and I'm for serious in love with them right now. They're white with bright yellow on the sides. Fabulous!!

I just got home not too long ago, and I'm going to spend some time with my husband since I won't get to see him like at all tomorrow. So... Until tomorrow, stay fabulous, my fellow fashionistas :-) Ciao!!

What a weekend...

Day #52

Saturday was long. Plain and simple.

I worked a double shift at work, cleaned my room, did some homework, and went to a party after I got off work the second time.

I went into work at 10:30am, left at 1pm, came back at 5pm, and left for good at 11:15pm. Yuck. I was so exhausted and I had so much stuff to do. Work was the last thing on my mind. :P

In between my two shifts, I skyped with Gage, went to get some groceries with my mommy, did some homework, and I VERY THOROUGHLY cleaned my room. I only had three and a half hours or so to do all of that, so I'd say I'm pretty bomb dot com! :) lol  But really though.

Work was really busy in the morning, but then it settled down in the evening, so I ended up getting off early, at 10:45. Whoop whoop!!!

After I got home from work, I changed and walked to the Pi Kappa Alpha (Pike) house for a little get together they were having. It was blacklight/rave and pretty fun! I didn't get there until around 11:45, so a lot of people had come and gone for the bars by then, or were too trashed to hold a conversation. :P haha  Brea was definitely "feeling it!" lol  I don't know what she had, but she had a lot of it, in a short period of time! She was funny. :)  When we were down in their basement socializing and dancing, she decided to drink out of some random wine bottle, and ended up CHIPPING HER TOOTH! hahahahahaha  It was so funny! It's barely noticeable, but just the fact that that actually happened cracks me up! :)  (I'm a terrible friend.)

I played a little game of "catch up," downing a few too many, and I most definitely had a good time. :)  I really like hanging out with the Pike guys, and my sorority sisters of course, because they're very chill and down to earth, and honestly, they don't have much game, so there's no worry of them hitting on me or trying to "get with me." lol  They're so awkward with girls, it's actually kind of cute. :) haha  It was an overall good night, but it would have been better if Gage was there with me.

At work, I wore my boring work outfit. :P  But, for the Pike house, I wore a light mint long sleeve sweater, with shoulder slits on both sleeves, that I got from Forever21. My jeans were light denim cropped skinny jeans from American Eagle, and my shoes were my silver Candie's sandals from Kohls. While I was at work, I had Katy (since she was working with me) fishtail braid my hair so it looked somewhat cute/decent for the party. As you can tell from the pictures, I found myself a pink glow stick, and put it on my head as a tiara. Naturally. :)

#53

I was not feeling so hot Sunday morning! I didn't get home from the Pike house until 2:30/2:45am, falling asleep around 3. When I woke up in the morning at 10:30/11, I was a tad light-headed, and my stomach hurt. Let's just say I had consumed a little too much "water" the previous night...:P lol

I finally got up and moving sometime around noon, showered, attempted to eat lunch, and then ended up laying back down. I was not having it. My stomach hurt SO BAD and I felt like crap! I eventually was able to eat, without feeling like I was going to vom, and I skyped with Gage, while I laid on the floor. :P  I'm really such a gem...;)

After skyping and laying down, I felt tons better, so I started getting ready for chapter meeting! For meeting, I put my ratchet hair for the day up into a sock bun, threw on a dress, a pair of heels, my pin, and called it good! My dress is BRAND NEW (surprise, surprise!) from Target! It's a capped sleeve black, brown and dark red Mossimo brand dress, with two zipper pockets in the front and a drawstring along the waist, that ties in back. My shoes are simple black Candie's heels from Kohls, but also probably my favorite pair of heels. They're so comfy! :)


Meeting was good, but long, and I ended up staying about forty-five minutes after to talk to my bid day buddy and another Alpha about some questions/concerns they had. I got back to my room around 9:30pm or so, did my homework, and finally got into bed and asleep around midnight. It was a LONG DAY and an even longer weekend! :P

Tired of Working

Day 52

Hey!! How's tired of working so much?? This girl. I'm super exhausted. Not even kidding. I worked 9-6 today, and we were so incredibly busy, it was crazy. AND I didn't get enough sleep last night, so all I wanted to do was sleep. Since I am so tired, this post isn't going to be very long. Sorry... But I need to catch up on some much needed beauty sleep.

After work, I had these grand plans of doing the laundry, cleaning the apartment, working on some homework, and cleaning out my bunny's cage... But that didn't happen :-P I got home and just sank into the couch. Literally. Like the couch became my best friend. NBD.

My outfit today was Disney-esque, and I love it :-) It was also made up entirely of Plato's purchases, and each item just happened to be $6 when I bought it. CRAZY!! I wore a black-and-white Mikey Mouse printed Disney t-shirt, a gray Divided cardigan, and some super high-waisted light pink Loz Clairborne shorts. Pretty adorable if I do say so myself... AND it was really comfy :-) Win!!

For shoes, I wore some nude Mossimo flats that fit the whole "six-dollar-Plato's-purchase" them that I had going on. What can I say? I shop at Plato's a lot... But at least I'm consistent ;-) I'm also saving money by shopping there instead of the mall, which counts as a big win in my book.

I'm all ready for bed now, and since I'm super tired, I'm going to call it a night and hit the hay. Even though I'm cutting this post short, I DID keep my promise about posting tonight, so HA!! Alright my lovelies, time for some beauty sleep. Until tomorrow... Stay fabulous :-) Ciao!!

Okay hi energy drink!!!

Day #51

Energy drinks are great!!! I had one this morning, and I'm bouncing off the walls! :)

When I went to Target yesterday, I thought I'd try out the Starbucks Refreshers, since they're a juice drink with unroasted coffee beans, without the taste of coffee, they come equipped with caffeine and energy boosters. I'm ALL about that energy life! lol  But really though. I have been dragging so much this week, so these are a great pick-me-up!

I had my first test of the year at my 9am class, Earth and Space Science. I think I actually did pretty well, but I'll find out this upcoming week if my feelings ran true. (Wish me luck!)  It was that difficult. Partly because I was able to use my solar system notecards that I made a week or so ago and a cheat sheet, plus the information isn't really anything new. To top it off, I actually kind of find this stuff to be interesting! I know, I'm a nerd. :P  Whatever. I'm over it. :) lol

The test only took be about forty minutes, so I went to the union and got this next week's study hours started. I got one and half mentored hours done, so that's good, and then I started on my individual hours a little bit. I ate my lunch that I packed, because I'm cool like that, and headed to my last two classes. For my lunch, I packed a Smucker's PB&J sandwich, one of those Kraft Hand-snacks, with the crackers and cheese, a granola bar, and an Arnold Palmer (for after my Starbucks Refresher was gone). I'm so cute! ;) haha

I was WIDE AWAKE in my next two classes! I was focused and aware and I contributed quite a lot in my Philosophy class discussion! Go me! :) haha  The only bad part was that my mind was racing like a million miles a minute, thinking of things I wanted to say and things I need to get done for the day. :P  After class, I went back to my dorm room real quick, after stopping into the store Essentials inside the union to get another Refresher and some pens, and changed for work. I packed another sandwich for the night, another crackers and cheese snack, and a Sparkling Ice drink. Oh, and some Goldfish! :) YUMMMMMM!

Work wasn't too bad. We had three groups, two on the Pro course and one on the Recruit course. The group on the Recruit course had a birthday party, so they were in our party room for forty-five minutes after playing time, which meant Natalie had to stay up front to help, so I helped Cam ref the Pro course game. We ended up getting off early, at 9:45pm, since no one came in for the last session. Whoop whoop! :)

I went back to my dorm after work, skyped with Gage and then headed to bed around 12:30am or so. I kind of wish I would have gone to bed a little earlier, since I had an early and long day ahead of me, but of well. It was worth it, staying up to skype. :)

Today I showed my "Panther Pride," wearing this year's UNI Panther Football shirt, which is gold with purple writing, khaki shorts, that I just got at Target for like $6 (score!), and my Sperry's. Then, for work, I changed into khaki pants, since it was chilly outside and in the store, and put on my Nike running shoes instead of my Sperry's. I also sported my Panther Pride with a purple UNI zip-up jacket, with the Panther emblem on the front and "Panthers" written down the sleeve. The jacket is so warm and soft and comfy, and the best part about it is that it was only like $10 or something like that at UniversiTees! Yay! :)

That was my Friday night! Be safe this weekend and stay fabulous. :)

One Tired Gal :-P

Day 51

Ok so maybe I wasn't able to post yesterday after all :-P I worked my long and busy 12-9:30 closing shift, went home to get my husband, changed, and then went to a going-away party at Chili's for my assistant manager who is, well, leaving to go back to her old Plato's. It was kind of a long day for me considering I didn't get to bed until around midnight. I was sooooooo tired that I passed out pretty much the moment my head hit the pillow.

Work itself wasn't too bad. It was a long, busy day, but I enjoyed working with everyone. We definitely had fun while working :-) For the work part of my day, I wore a pale green spaghetti strap Charlotte Russe tank top with my cropped American Eagle skinnies that have holes in them. It was totally adorable :-)

The tank top itself is pretty fabulous since it has this awesome cutout section in the back. AND it was only like $7 at Plato's!! Winner!!

I decided to wear a pair of silver partially-lace-up Old Navy peep toe flats since I had just gotten them from Plato's for $7 a few days ago. They're soooooo cute!! And they're really comfy, which is always good :-)

For the Chili's part of my night, I wore a black Black Poppy dress that has tan arrows on it with a skinny black studded belt and my mint green Forever 21 sandals. I was a pretty fabulous outfit if I do say so myself :-) The dress was a Plato's purchase for like $8 a while back. Shocking, right?! ;-)

Chili's was really fun. Most of my co-workers were able to make it, and my steak fajita nachos and tropical sunrise margarita were delicious!! I'm most definitely a margarita kind of girl :-) I have to go back to work since I'm on my break, but I PROMISE I will post my one for today when I get home later. Seriously. I will. So, until then... Stay patient, my fellow fashionistas :-) Ciao!!
