The Case Of the Unwearable Top

I recently bought this top on an American Apparel Groupon I had.
I think it's absolutely lovely, but I can't figure out how to wear it.
The lace is too open to wear without a tank underneath
and a tank underneath looks really dumb.
It only looks good tucked in to high waisted skirt/pants
But I don't have any high waisted jeans.
Help!

What I Wore Wednesday: Adventure Boots

Hello, blogosphere!
Sorry today's post is a little on the late side, I'm finishing off my semester and it has been a pretty stressful, busy couple days.
So here it is folks, a little lackluster, but it is what it is.
As with many of my outfits, today's outfit is 100% entirely thrifted! Plus my new (to me) adventure boots that I got at Value Village a while ago.

Aren't they sweet? I pretty much love 'em.


Anyways, that's all for now.

4 days left!

I start the 40 day challenge in 4 days. I created a blog so that I can show my progress and upload anything worthwhile.

let the games begin . . .

Manic Monday

Bright pink loose tank top, high-waisted grey skirt with a red belt.


without the sweater . . . that is NOT a baby bump there, it kinda looks like it though doesn't it. . . to me it does.


with the sweater. (I had to wear a sweater at work)


I'm a girl of few words today. I usually am. Julz is the loquacious one.
Hmm some thoughts? I love that it's getting warmer out that I'm not freezing my butt off if I wear tights to work at 530am. I'm also loving that it doesn't get dark til later I can't wait for summer to come.

that is all. Goodbye

Almond Butter Brownies mmmmmm. . . .

The other night I was really bored and it was . . .hmmm 10:30pm so I decided to make almond butter brownies.





And sometime last week I made almond butter stir fry with rice noodles. IT WAS SOOOO GOOD.

Mind Dump

Hey, just stopping by for a couple things:


1) My dinner from last night.... Caesar Salad with boiled eggs. Nom Nom. Pictures are kinda dark because I got home lateish, because I went to see DOGTOOTH.
Only two words can describe this movie: Fucked Up. But really enjoyable and raises issues with societal dynamics. I'd recommend it, but not for the faint of heart. Some scenes are shockingly graphic.

2) Doesn't this sound cool? And exactly my cup of tea? I'm so tempted, but I swore I wouldn't go shopping until April! Gah! Not faaaiir.

3)Dinner tonight was mac'n'cheese with pureed chickpeas. Here is the puree-ing process.

And the final product!

That's all, I'm going to go get some work done and treat the internet and all its endless possibilities like this:

LALALAALA I CANT HEEAAARRRR YOOOU.

Hopefully it will work.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

A friend of mine came up with a brilliant idea and challenge for himself that for 40 days he is to write 40 songs, a song a day, to help him improve as a songwriter. They may be good they may be bad and in the end he'll see where it takes him. Collaborations are allowed. I was so inspired that I decided to join him in this quest I'll help him out when needed and vice versa. As of April 2nd the challenge begins. I'm very excited. Also my sister will be in town and she can help me for a few days or so.
I think its an INSANE idea but I think we can pull it off. It will be a definite learning process hopefully something beautiful will come out of this. . .

I got my notebook all ready and I'm raring to go.
