On Wednesdays We Wear Purple

If you're friends with me on Facebook you have seen me hounding you to send me pictures of you wearing purple. Why you ask?

Well because today is the GLAAD spirit day. What is GLAAD you ask? Well let me tell you!

It is the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, and unless you've been living under a rock or in a hobbit hole you've probably heard about the recent teen suicides. There has been a huge campaign to try and stop these  tragedies and to help people realize that being a teenager sucks, whether your gay, straight, black, white, love anime, or are the "most popular" kid in school. But it gets better. And the bullying stops.

Fashion can be a powerful thing, and today people were encouraged to wear purple to bring awareness to this pressing issue.

Look! Finally outfits pictures! My friend Jackie was so nice and took them for me today. But I think I might have found the perfect camera. 

I asked for purple-wearers to send me their pictures. Here they are. Thank you for supporting the cause and spreading awareness.

Fall Inspired Outfit

I think that we get cheated here in the South.

Now, don't get me wrong. I love the South, and I love Texas. But there are a couple of times a year that I think, "Man. I wish I was in New England." Summer. And Fall.

Summer because it's flipping hot here. I like to compare Texas summers to childbirth (or what I have heard about childbirth). You always forget how bad it is until it is happening.

And Fall because, well... just look.

We were cheated right? Look how beautiful.

Shirt, Cardigan, Jeans, Shoes, Brooch, Ring

p.s. that J. Crew cardigan is so amazing, and it's on sale!

I think I'm in love...

These shoes are amazing! How do I find all this stuff that I want to buy when I don't have any money. Luckily, my birthday is coming up. (Hey Mom!)

Mossimo V-Neck Tee

I know you've seen them. You probably have one. Or two. Or three. It's the Mossimo Supply Co. V-Neck tee.

I know I have at least four of them. They are probably the most comfortable shirt I have. Don't know what I'm going to wear? Pull out my Mossimo shirt. They are basically my go-to piece. If you don't have one yet, seriously, go buy one.

No, not right now. Finish reading this post first. Then go.

The best part about these shirts are that they are super versatile. Jeans. Shirts. Slacks. They go with them all.


Here, see for yourself.

Gameday Cowboy Boots

Recently I have been secretly wanting a pair of cowboy boots. Well, not too secretly. I have told several people. Okay, you got me. I have told as many people as would listen. I feel like I am one of the only people in my town that doesn't have a pair.

You can blame "Friday Night Lights". This show had single-handedly made me want a pair. Lila just looks so darn cute in hers. And today was gameday here in Aggieland. And the cowgirls were everywhere.

Some with cute boots, some with ugly boots, some with dirty boots, some with their jeans tucked in to their boots (which I wish they wouldn't do), some with boots and skirts (which might be the most adorable thing).

See?

Pretty freaking cute right?

I think I'm a convert. I need some gameday cowboy boots.

On a side note: We got to do this super fun thing at the game today. All the seniors got to go down on the field during half-time and welcome the team back. It was really a cool experience.

Look! Football players! One of them gave me a highfive :)

That's me, on the right, with my friend Rachel. I had Princess Leia buns today. It was cool.

Midterm Madness

It’s October. Y’all know what that means. Midterms.

It is only the second worst part of the year, right behind finals. You stay up late studying, wake up early to study, and don’t really care what you look like when you go to class.

That was me today. Except that I didn’t stay up late studying and I woke up early for work. But I still didn't care what I looked like. Here's a rundown of what I wore today. Since I am still having camera problems, I'm sharing in polyvore format. (If you don't know what polyvore is. Google it. Your life will be changed.)

Cardigan, T-shirt, Jeans, Shoes

Jeans. Plain white tee. Cardigan. Can't go wrong.

Now I don't really have any TOMS. I have these cool Argentine shoes that my boyfriend got me when he lived in Argentina. I say they are TOMS lookalikes, but Chris ( that's my boyfriend) says that TOMS are the Argentine lookalikes. I really want a pair of TOMS. But I just am having a hard time trying to (A) pick what color I want, and (B) spend almost $50 on them. Granted, they are for a great cause. But if I spend $50 on a pair of shoes, I want them to be boots. Maybe some like these.

So all you TOMS wearers out there. What color do you have? And were they totally worth the money you had to shell out to get them?

Real Beauty

In one of my classes we did a project where we had to do a poetry presentation. A lot of people did videos and we saw the same one twice.

At first I was thinking. "Ugh. I have already seen this video a thousand times." But then I got to thinking. You know what? This video has a really great message.

So I am sharing with you. My wonderful readers.

It is a video from the Dove Real Beauty campaign. If you haven't seen it. Enjoy. If you have. Watch, then go take a look in the mirror and see how beautiful you really are.
