less than three.

I am a girl on a budget. This being said, I don't spend too much on my clothes, except for the basic investment peices that are worth laying out the cash for. But that doesn't mean that I can't look at pretty clothes online!
Here are three things from my two favorie online stores ModCloth and Ruche that I <3! (less than three...get it? I'm so clever)

 the above 3 are from ModCloth

the below 3 are from Ruche

mmmmmm dresses, they are easily one of my favorite parts of summer :)

soapbox.

 

I've blogged about this before, and I will blog about it again. I think that the amount of pressure that us girls (and guys? maybe?) have put on us to be perfect is completely ridiculous.. We need to have flawless skin that never breaks out, skinny little bodies and big boobs (mostly made by plastic surgery), be tan, and always act perfect. This is impossible, and it's also sick. I have a huge problem when it comes to my self-image, and self-esteem. As much as I can try to love myself, and embrace my imperfections, the expectations of this world are always knocking me down.

 We all need to know that the people that we see on the cover of magazines are not real. They are mostly airbrushed and plastic. We are made just like we are for a reason, and that reason is simply this: God wants us this way. Saying that we hate anything about ourselves is basically telling God that he made a mistake. You are made how you are, because one day you will be able to touch somebodies life because you are you.

I wish that we all (myself included) could realize just how special we are, and the being different isn't a bad thing.

big spender.

I am a girl born and bred in Springfield Missouri. I have never lived anywhere else.
This being said, my wardrobe comes from places like Forever 21, Pac Sun, Target, and of course Thrift Stores. I have never been to an actual Urban Outfitters, or Anthropologie store. I browse their websites daily, and have recieved their catalogs for years, but being a slightly small town girl, I just can not justify some of the prices of things on their websites.
HOWEVER, I caved and let the materialist in me take over my brain, and my debit card.
This is what I bought...

this "coloring book" duvet cover. I'm redecorating my room this summer (thank heavens!) and I wanted a more subtle color scheme with pops of color, and I think that this is just pefect.

In order to get free shipping, I had to spend just I little bit more, so I splurged and bought these.

So there you have it, my very first Urban Outfitters purchases. Aren't you proud?

Also, the other day I was looking up random stuff on ebay, and I found this bag that I am absolutely in love with:

ummmmmm holy cute?

is is worth $88 though? that is my big problem.

bacon

This is the cookbook of my life. Seriously. If my life was to be condensed into cookbook form, this would be the finished product.

Unfortunately, if I want to keep my body lookin good in a swim suit, I can not eat this stuff. So it's turkey bacon for me, which is just not quite as good. It's like a chanel knock-off. It looks pretty, but it's just not as awesome, and you know that it's just imitation so you don't get that good feeling of knowing that you have the real thing.

Did I just compare Chanel to Turkey Bacon?

Yes...yes I did. Classy, I know.

hello again.

It's true: I am the worlds worst blogger. Do I care? Nah. Do you? Probably not.

annnnnyways, I haven't blogged in like a super long time. Probably because I have nothing to share with the world, and also because so far this has been the summer of suck. But oh well, things can only get better from here!...right?

I can't promise any consistent blogging, because like a mentioned above, I really don't have anything to write about. However, I get a great kick out of documenting things and posting them on the internet in hopes that someone might read them. Weird, I know.

I've tried to do some brainstorming about a "theme" for this blog, and I can't think of anything. I could never ever be a fashion blogger, because (1.) I am a repeat outfit offender, (2.) I don't have enough cute clothes, (3.) My camera is crap, I can't take a decent picture to save my life and neither can my boyfriend, (4.) because it's summer. In the summer I live in distressed jean shorts, and layering tees. There is nothing that cute or inspiring about that!

Really, I just suck at putting outfits together, and I only wear dresses to church. I am hopeless. 

Well, there you have it. My epiphany of the day. Have a great one. KayBye.
