A Penny for Her Thoughts

Deep breath. Take it in. She can see the world without even opening her eyes. What's she thinking as she faces the wind and lets her imagination run wild through the field she's standing in? A penny for her thoughts? You can't pay a penny for her thoughts, they're much more valuable than that; they're at least a dollar. 

ABOUT THE LOOK: Oh I love this skirt (Forever 21)! It's so diverse! Anyway, it's December in Missouri so I'm wearing a mesh skirt and a tucked in lace, peplum top (Plato's Closet) when I should be in the fluffiest coat I can find. This weather is insane. And I know what a few of you are thinking... A white shirt! In December! Uhm... yes. I feel like white looks its loveliest in December when the there's snow on the ground! ... Or a field of tall, dead grass. 

BIG Thanks to my friend Mason for taking these pictures. That's his dog... it's name is Penny;P

Plus, like Caged In Clothes on FB because there's a big surprise coming up that will be announced on there!

Vampirish Part I (Giveaway Winner)

 

There's a reason that I called this Vampirish Part I. It's because I took sooooo many pictures that they can't all fit into one post! Plus, this post isn't just about my style today, it's about my BACK TO SCHOOL GIVEAWAY winner! Yes, it ended yesterday and now... it is time to announce who wins the amazing Social Butterfly House dress. So ladies, here it is!



Congrats MC CHAU! All of that dedicated tweeting really paid off! (Trust me, I get a notification every time someone tweets me and I got TONS from you!) I'll shoot you an email tonight and you have three days to respond before an alternate winner is chosen. Congrats again!

 

ABOUT THE LOOK: All of a sudden, fall is here... with fall weather. No more mini skirts and tanks for mwa. I am in college after all and forced to walk everywhere and I hate being cold. Exactly whey I wore this, oh-so-very mysterious skirt/jacket combo. The crimson color combined with the sheer overlaying the skirt from Forever 21 made it perfect from the transition from summer to fall. Plus, the leather jacket  from Plato's Closet provided shelter from the cool wind blowing that day. I have on some pretty cute necklaces too. One that has crosses and another that's full of false pearls and is a peter pan collar. I love it!

 

Stay tuned for Vampirish Part II! (AKA more pics to come!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BEHIND THE SCENES: What can I say. I never stay serious for too long. At all. Ever. Andrea (Photographer and bestie) has to get frustrated, I mess around so much. I laugh, make her laugh, dance around, dance on a tree! Plus, she always manages to capture me hiking up my skirt and trampling around; have you ever tried to walk in heels in the forest while the ground is squishy? It's hard.



 

 

Rose in a Thornbush

Ah! What an amazing mission trip I went on! I have to tell you, if you want to make the world a better place, not just one small community, volunteer at Give Kids The World. It's in Florida, so you can even hit up the beach for the day like I did. Of course, I got this rediculous sunburn that made me peel my face's skin off like one would peel an orange, but hey, I surfed. One thing I get to check off my bucket list. Anyway, it was the most amazing experiance of my life. I got to meet people from all over the world and every single one of them was happy, no matter their kids condition. It was truely magical.

DON'T FORGET TO ENTER MY GIVEAWAY!

ABOUT THE LOOK: Rose in a Thornbush. My friend actually said something like this on the shoot and I knew my post had to be titled that. The red and the flowers really popped against any background so it looked like I was that hidden rose in the thornbush.The shirt is from SUGARLIPS APPAREL. When I first got it, to be truthfull, I was kinda iffy. It was a lot of material and I'm a small girl, I was scared it was going to eat me alive. Fortunately, when I paired it with the floral skirt from RUE 21, I knew that it was me. It's such a vibrant, happy look, which is needed since the oh-so depressing school time is drawing nearer, if not already arrived.

Sorry about the size of the pictures. I can't get them to enlarge, those little boogers. I'll try to fix it when I get somewhere with a better computer and wifi.

Forgotten Photos

By the time your reading this, I'll be in Florida on my mission trip. I'm going down there for Give Kids The World, which is a part of Disney World (Or Land, whichever is in Florida) where we help the terminally ill have an amazing time at Disney World because it's there wish for the Make A Wish Foundation. We're also going to the beach for a day. I really hope I get to swim with some tropical fish or see a coral reef or be able to surf or something! I've never been to the beach so I'm hoping for a good experience. It's on my bucket list to go to Florida and visit a beach so... I hope it's worth being on my bucket list.

Anyway, I was going through some of my pictures the other day and I stumbled across these from an old shoot with Andrea. You can tell these pictures were from a while ago, my hair is still long and brown!

ABOUT THE LOOK:
What is there to say? One of the biggest trends of the moment is floral print so, even though I like to find pieces that are unique and not so trendy, I saw this dress and finally understood why the floral print fad blew up so quickly. What I like about this outfit is how it also combines the sheer part on top. Two trends in one, beautiful when separate, spectacular when together. The sheer adds a sexiness to the romantic side of the dress that the flowers bring out.

Sorry! No behind the scenes pics on this one (yet!). Not enough time for my slooooow moooo internet connection to download the rest of the pics before I leave! (Just a few hours now!) See you all in a week:p

Inside the Foliage

I took some photos with my cousin Jessica a couple weeks ago at the family Easter get together. I'll probably ask for the other pictures sometime in the future, but for now I have these two. She edited them and took them. All I did was hide in a bush and kill my corneas as I gazed into the overly bright sun. I can tell you, I've never looked so good hiding in a bush. Ever. and if I may say, thank God for spandex. They were very helpful as I sat in dirt and frolicked around in field.
Anyway, I have a couple of more shoots down, so make me put them up! I have one in a dress that broke right after the shoot, but it was worth it. They pictures turned out beautifully! The second shoot was BMS (By My Self) and it was somewhat of a complicated shoot. First of all, as I said I was BMS and I have a camera that is currently being held together by tape and I don't have a tripod or a remote. Second of all... I was on a roof, my roof to be more exact. I've never been on a roof before, but my house is in the middle of the woods and the trees are to thick for sun light to peer through, there, taking to the sky was the only choice. Those pictures were amazing! I'll try to get them posted tomorrow!
And I'm on PINTREST now! Just look me up right here and check out my posts! Follow if you want on Pintrest, but I'd really try to follow my blog. I'm in the giveaway mode and on the hunt for something to giveaway SO keep checking back! (What would you like for a giveaway? Tell me in the comments and I'll try to get one to give away!)
