Comfort Zone

- Melody


shirt: JCrew via my aunt, jeans: f21, shoes: Cole Haan via goodwill, watch: found, necklace: f21

Hey oh! Today was probably the most I’ve been out of my “comfort zone” in a while. When I’m in school, I set a routine for myself and I rarely waiver from it. I volunteered to drive a few people to this performance we were doing today. We got out about 30 minutes late and it was 15 minutes back to the school. We stopped at Taco Bell to get lunch since we didn’t have much time so I had to eat in the school instead of in my car (yeah, I’m lame) like I normally do. It was weird, I felt anxious the whole time, and will probably never do it again.

What We Had of Cold Weather

- Melody


sweater: goodwill, jeans: f21, boots: gojane belt: target

Seriously the comfiest sweater ever. Oversized, soft, and snuggly. I do need to take the arms in, though. They’re a bit saggy. I wore this on the only cold day we’ve had since the spring. Clearly it was not here to stay. I’m so tired of trying to find cool outfits to wear! Boo, heat!

Jammin’

- Melody


shirt: passion, skirt: f21, tights: f21, boots: gojane

This outfit was described as “jammin’” to me today. I thought that was totally awesome.

This day.. wow. It was Monday.

This morning my 8am was cancelled and I have no 9am. In theory, I didn’t have to be in Tyler until 10. We spent all day at my parents’ yesterday and weren’t home until 11 that night. I packed my lunch, got my books together, and laid out an outfit for Monday morning. I was exhausted. I set my alarm and got up at 6.40. Drove all the way to Tyler, walked into the music building. Lights were off, no one was in the lobby and I was alone. I wanted to cry. I had just driven an hour–exhausted, mind you– and I didn’t even have class. I called Jason and decided to drive back home and take a nap. I barely made it home without falling asleep. I took a 45 minute nap, made the trek back to Tyler for choir only to find that no one was waiting for choir. “Duh,” I remembered. We had planned to do a flash mob in the cafeteria that day. Again, I wanted to cry. Really?! Twice in one day?

(The flash mob was awesome, btw. We did a gospel piece and everyone videoed us. It was cool.)

After walking back to my car, I ate lunch and talked to Jason for about ten minutes before heading into diction. I didn’t look at the music for my last class so I was totally clueless on what we were talking about. Thankfully, I wasn’t called on to answer any questions. FINALLY, I came home, started dinner and watched game five of the world series. (Go Rangers!)

Whew. Any of you ever have a Monday like this? Or any other day?

Is It Bad?

- Melody


dress: old navy, tights: f21, shoes: f21, belt: target

This is my very favorite dress. I got it on super sale. I only wish that it was a few inches longer so I didn’t always have to wear tights with it. This was one of my favorite outfits though!

Last night a CRAAZY storm ran through at about 2 am. I heard a loud crash at about 2.18 that woke me up and made Jason ask if I was okay, hah. When I got up this morning I saw that our neighbor’s tree was split in half. All of the branches were just lying on the ground. Is it bad if I ask them if I could have a big hunk to use as a side table?

Happy Wednesday!

My New Favorite Shirt

- Melody


top: goodwill, jeans: AE, wedges: target, watch: found in our house

This is my new favorite shirt. Found at the goodwill. The goodwill in our town is nestled in downtown and it’s pretty cozy as far as goodwills go. If you follow me on Twitter you know that when I bought this shirt it was the first time I’d been shopping in three months. It felt good!

I wore these shoes all day at school Monday. Since they’re only about 3 inches I didn’t think it’d be so bad. But curse that Mossimo brand, for some reason they don’t have much give in the stretch department. So when I went out to my car for lunch (yeah, I eat in my car. every. day.) I took my shoes off. As I was talking to Jason on the phone I happened to look down at my feet. Wait. What’s tha- BLOOD! One of my toes was covered in dried blood. Since-this is embarrassing- I don’t (how should I say this) give my toes the attention they deserve (ie: cut them on a regular basis) this particular toenail was pushed up against the inside of my shoe and nearly ripped the whole nail off.

(If my aunts are reading this, it’s obvious I didn’t heed your advice from the night before my wedding. HAHA! :))

I got home and tended to my nails. Happy ending. 🙂

Hope you all are having a good day!

Love Your Life

- Melody


shirt: F21, pants: JCrew via Goodwill, shoes: Converse, earrings: F21

I love these pants. I was standing in the checkout line in a Goodwill in Florida and saw these just hanging there begging to be bought. When I saw the JCrew tag I nearly fell out. Hooray!

Seriously. When is this heat going to subside? My birthday is in 30 days and I’d really like it to be cool enough to walk around outside without evaporating on my 21st!

Speaking of my birthday, it’s September! Though it doesn’t feel like it, stores are already debuting their fall collections. If you look outside it looks like fall. But that’s only because there hasn’t been any rain in a month and everything is dead. Yay…

How’s your week going? It’s nearly Friday again! Woohoo!
