Irregular Fashion Shoot/ Senior Year Tomorrow

 Dress//Goodwill  Boots//Candies  Belt//Thrifted

I love this dress, it is so swishy and was only $4.50! It is a tad big, but nothing a belt can't fix. I think it looks kinda flower girly, but oh well! The boots (that I saved $40 on) make this outfit a little more mature.

 Shirt//Marilyn by Sam Shaw(Goodwill)

I spotted this beauty on my way to the cash register and couldn't turn it down for $1.50. It is a size XXL so it is super soft and comfy.

 V-neck//Gap(Thrifted)  Button down//Heritage 1981(Goodwill)  Jeans//Glo(Goodwill)

This outfit is pretty simple. I love how the jeans are easy to tuck into my combat-like boots.:)

Tank top//Forever 21(Salvation Army)  Skirt//Kimchi Blue(Goodwill)

My friend Mariah actually found the tank top and thought I might like it. She was right! I love the skirt and for some reason it reminds me of books...

Shirt//Xhilaration(Garage sale)

I got this for $0.50. Not bad. I love the detail on the sleeves.

Shirt//Thrifted   Skirt//Bisou Bisou (Goodwill)

I adore this skirt! The material is kinda dressy but can be easily dressed down with tights for school.

Shirt//Faded Glory(Garage sale)  Shorts//London Jean(Goodwill)

I love these bright shorts, and how I found this shirt that matches in a lovely way just a few days after I found the shorts.

So, over the last few weeks I began searching for some new pieces for school. I am incredibly pleased with how much money I saved and how much fun I had taking these pictures. I know "fashion" isn't every body's cup of tea, but I thought it would be cool to do a little fashion shoot outside!

I don't have a tripod sturdy enough to hold my camera, so I took my mirror off my wall and propped it against our lovely old willow tree. That was planted a year or so before I was born, so it really has grown old with me; I'm quite fond of it.:)

The best part was running in and out of the house to change. It was 100 degrees out and our air conditioner has been faulty lately. It was hot, especially when it came to the jeans, but i just had this immovable will to take these pictures. It was enjoyable, despite the heat.

 So, today is my last day of summer. I will begin my senior year tomorrow. it hasn't completely hit me yet. My backpack is stuffed full of fun pencil, highlighters and pens, I set out my first day of school outfit in a jiffy, and I have my schedule and route memorized. 

I am not really nervous for the school part, I just know that things will be changing this year, as I make plans that may, for the first time, differ from my friends'. I anticipate God to change me even more this year, as I make decisions on colleges and grow into an independent woman. It is coming in so fast, but I adore this feeling. I am going to make this a great year for me and everyone else around me.

I want to challenge myself to do yoga every morning as well as read my Bible and devotion. I believe that those things really make or break my day. I want God to write upon my heart whatever he wishes and starting the morning with Him will clear my vision and refocus my heart to want what He wants for me.

Good luck to all of you as you return to school or work. I pray that God will use me to serve and love others, no matter where I am heading in this life.=)
