I've currently been in love with velvet clothing.  I love how it feels and how it adds a different texture to an outfit.  I'll have to figure out how to incorporate it in the spring.  Or just not care and continue to wear velvet.

By the way, we shall be posting our Wants this Wednesday (tomorrow?), so stay tuned for that.

It's Alright

It's another Monday again. <Warning: Super long dairy post ahead!!!> These past couple of weeks have been  a rollercoaster of good and bad things.  First, lets start with exams. Overall I did really well on all of them. I even did well on my English exam where I had to write a creative excerpt for The Great Gatsby and I ended up saying that Gatsby killed Daisy. However, there was one exam I did very poorly on. Spanish. When I revealed the news to my parents, it seemed like time stopped because  they didn't blink at all for 5 minutes. Later my dad called me over and said "Sydney, are you having any boy problems?" That made me lol though.
Second, I lost two very important things: a diamond ring and my Sims 3 game. I couldn't find them anywhere I looked. But then something amazing happened. On Friday, I suddenly got the urge to wear a certain shirt and when I pulled it out the ring just flew out  of nowhere! As of now I'm feeling a weird mix of feelings. I feel both happy and disappointed at the same time, but hopefully the weeks ahead will leave me just feeling happy.

I hope you all have a very splendid week and enjoy my playlist!

Playlist:
"The Fisherman" by Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.
"Secrets Make Sounds" by French Cassettes
"It's Alright" by Opus Orange
"Woodwind" by Other Lives

Sum It Up Sunday: January 27, 2013

I'm not sure how to start these posts, so welcome to  last Sunday of January 2013! It's so crazy to think about.  It seems like the beginning of the year was just a few days ago.  This week, my area has been graced with a little bit of snow.  It was enough to get a delay and an early closing, which allowed me to watch even more movies (I've watched at least 13 since the beginning of the year....) and listen to music.  I took a break from being unproductive and went to the Salvation Army yesterday.  I bought a black, velvet maxi skirt for $4 and a purple, pleated maxi skirt that was also $4.  Sadly, the purple skirt is not the size six it suggested, so I may turn it into a shorter skirt. I also went to Ross where I got $5 heels (!!) and a grey tank top with silver skulls for $8.

Haul

I can't believe half of the school year has already passed!  It's gone by too quickly in my opinion (mostly because exams are this week, oh my!)  My order from Forever 21 came in this week which helped to ease my anxiety.  I bought a pair of velvet leggings (I cannot properly express how much I love them) for $12.80, a pair of floral leggings for $8.80, an over-sized white tee for $, a black sweater for $, and a silver collar necklace for $.

My nerdy shirt from Qwertee also came in.  It was about $17 with their discount code.  I also went shopping on Saturday (instead of studying for exams..).  I bought a grey cardigan at Marshall's for $13 and an adjustable, velvet dress for $12 at Ross.

Have a great week!
