Travel to where?

Things I have to, want to, have worn

I consider this a 'traveling' outfit. I've read in lots of books where they suggest wearing glamorous clothes like all black, and cashmere, and sunglasses, yada yada, and that's fine. I really liked that ultra glam 'jet set' aesthetic when I first got into fashion and style, but now I'm into more casual stuff that works for my kind of travel. My family doesn't usually take planes, so we drive. I like driving (remember my car post?) I can take photos on the ride, journal, listen to music, and sleep without people looking at me the way it might be on a plane. I would wear something with lots of layers. I would need pretty substantial shoes, and a hat because weather is evil (You will learn this if you live in the midwest.) And always a notebook. This is my biggest (Don't quote me on that) piece of advice: Always have a notebook on hand. Document EVERYTHING that you want to, I can't even let you know how good just getting something, anything down in a journal is. Reading it later is even better/worse.
Oh how I do want to travel now.

This look is inspired by this super stylish girl that I stalk around my school. I don't know her, but she has these really cool dip-dyed purple dreadlocks and always wears these really colorful and graphically striking outfits that I obsess over. This look was inspired by her wearing a white shirt, green hoodie, and patterned black+white leggings with converse. Sigh, stylish people.
I can't tell if I hate (jealousy and admiration) or love (obsession and admiration) stylish people, readers.

UPDATES

UPDATES GUYS!
As much as I absolutely love scheduled posts, they give me too much of an excuse to not write. Even though you guys have been hearing from me, I feel like we haven't chatted in a while.
So here is the deets: I did not get the part of Chip, I am in the chorus. I was pretty inconsolable last night, but after listening to some Franky Valli and Grimes, eating all of the cheezits in the house, and a confidence inducing outfit I feel a lot better. Chorus can be really fun and I'm sure this will be with all the people. I'm still really looking forward to my costume- It's one of my favorite parts of a show. It gives me an excuse to wear outrageous clothes my mom wouldn't let me out of the house in.
Also, I did survive the insanity of yesterday! My 4 am. to 7 pm today wasn't actually that bad! On the bus home from the band competition (We got all ones! That's a good thing- best score you can get) I was singing the Gravity Falls theme song with one of my friends as well as the Shia Lebeouf song by Rob Cantor, and this one girl asked me:
" Why are you singing? This is band"
I answered:
"This is life"
"That doesn't make any sense"
"You don't make any sense. Neither does life. Or band"
Then she left me alone. I really do think my inexplainable sass levels are improving. I cannot match the sass of my friend Emma or Ryan, but I'm getting closer to these goddesses.
Anyway, here are some more aesthetic pictures.

Yes, there is pen mark on my hand. Yes, I live the life of a write/artist/constant-note-taker. You haven't even seen the palms of my hands. I'm surprised I haven't died from ink poisoning (Is that a thing? Sometimes I'm afraid I say things that aren't legit and I sound stupid. Huh)
My blood is ink, readers.

Weh

"Stop searching forever. Happiness is sitting next to you"
No one was sitting next to me. What does this mean? Probably nothing.
Auditions were today and... weh. I panicked and tried to sing it soprano last minute when I'm an alto. I redid it, but no callbacks. They accept everyone into the show, so my best bet is chorus. That's okay- chorus is usually more fun anyway. There is villager chorus (I NEED *drops child* SIX EGGS! That's too expensive), inanimate object chorus (Drops something on the other villagers), and they are planning on a wolf chorus for the wolf scene (howls over-excitedly.)
I'm very busy today. Been up since 4:15 a.m and am getting home at 7:15 p.m. Thank GOODNESS for scheduled posts, am I right?
Weh, readers.

They so fab

I love this color combination- bright orange, white, and navy-ish blue. It seems so fresh and springy and nautical. It reminds me of the color combinations you might see on little restaurants and light houses farther up north in Michigan. Ugh, talking about that makes me miss summer more. I put all of this excitement around summer, but when I get there I'm lazy about it. I don't do much with my summer. Maybe I'm purposefully doing nothing because I have to do stuff during the school year? No excuse. This summer I don't want to waste any of it. The older I get, the more important this free, youthful, opportunity ridden season becomes. Winter? Meh. I like Christmas, Thanksgiving, and my birthday. Sorry, Valentines and Presidents Day. But no.
Happy Almost Spring, readers.
