A Springtime Polyvore

Hi! Sorry for no post in a while. I had to go back to school after like 12 days or so (Probably less, though) of SNOW DAYS (And weekends. And President's day... But you get the point.) Us Virginians got what seems like another Winter break! But now it's over. Boohoo...

To get to the REAL fashion-y stuff here, I wanted to show you an OLD (10 months old, really) Polyvore that I made.
I made this when I was younger and totally obsessed with a website called Stardoll and some blog about Polyvore someone from Stardoll made... Odd, right?

You might recognize this dress from somewhere... That's right. You in fact, should recognize it if you watched The Bachelor like 2 weeks ago. Ally wears it on her last night there, remember???

I can't seem to find a picture of her from the night she wears it, which ticks me off a bit. Urgh...

There's something in that look which I suppose is Chinese? Japanese? Korean? Vietnamese? Some-other- Asian-country-ese? I have no clue, really.


Any thoughts on this rookie-made look?

Polyvore and Other Random Stuff

I've been making a bunch of Polyvore sets recently. Polyvore is a really cool website where you make cool "sets" of clothing, accessories, and backgrounds.Here's one of my latest sets.




My mom is an Anthropologie Addict, which is where the dress comes from. Cute, right? Some Anthro stuff is just the opposite.

Take this bag-lady dress for example. It reminds me of my math teacher.

My math teacher wear ankle-length, denim, button-up dresses with too-short long sleeves to her job! Ick... Why do some teachers make the fashion-obsessed kids' eyes suffer like that? School is bad enough with the stupid relationship drama and "Popular" kids. Now, to make matters SO much worse, teachers dress horribly. Well, some teachers look good. It's usually the nice teachers that look nice. Coincidence, much?

I want to post a real picture of my sneakers, but I don't exactly have a camera... I guess this Polyvore pic will have to do.

Items in this set:
Jayme Sneaker, $110
Jeffrey Campbell Haley Stud, $100


 My lovely Coach sneakers... $110 plus $8 tax. They didn't have them in the store, so I ordered them in-store to escape shipping charges. I suggest that any Coach fans do that if they don't see what they like in the store.

Next are my Jeffrey Campbell Haley Stud flats...I actually have 2 pairs of them. Black and Pewter. I got the pewter ones in October or so. I wore them out trick-or-treating (A fact that I regret now. But they were the only shoes I had at the time to match my mime costume.) Now my lovely pewter flats aren't the nicest looking around the edges... 

I got the black ones for my school band concert. We have a strict uniform (Black pants, white shirt, black shoes), so I needed black shoes. They came in the mail the day before the concert. I did end up escaping a black-pant horror scenario. Since I'm thin and tall, I have a hugely hard time finding pants that fit. Abercrombie Kids is the only brand that fits me when I get pants. We went there to look, but the salesgirl told us that they sell nothing black. That sounds so stupid to me because they sell pretty much EVERY neutral! Well, except for black, as I now know.

Well, in the end, I went to Nordstroms and found a nice black skirt and tights

The end. 

 I've been thinking of having more Polyvore-related posts. With random moments/stories. But first, I need some feedback. Did you like this post? Love it? Hate it? Fall asleep while reading it? Just tell me!
