Another one of those country things..


Bandana + cowboy boots = ace.
Yeah so I have two pairs of cowboy boots--both hand-me-downs, and both a size or two too big.  The right boot on this pair actually hurts around the ankle area, I guess because my ankle bone hits at the wrong spot or something.  Otherwise, very nice boots.

I actually really like this outfit...the socks are sooo thick and warm.  If I stretched them out all the way, they would at least reach the bottom of my skirt.  Also, they are quite hard to get on...

blue tie-dye bandana : hand-me-down from Dad, I think..
gray Swell Season band tee : Swell Season concert I went to a couple years ago
dolphin hippie dress : hand-me-down from Ima (the dolphin is on the butt, not visible here)
deep blue leggings : hand-me-down from Ima
thick thigh high gray stockings : hand-me-down from Ima
tan cowboy boots : hand-me-down from Ima

Lots of hand-me-downs, as usual!  <3 recycling!

Rosie the Riveter






Now THIS is definitely a post about hair.

So the top pictures feature my Rosie the Riveter look, what with the bandana and all.  I have a TON of bandanas.  Like seriously, man.  Once, in 7th grade we had this day called "Band against Drugs", and people were supposed to wear their favorite band tees or maybe a wristband or *gasp* a bandana on their head (yet another item specifically prohibited by the school dress code).  So what did I do?  Well I was much too cool for their silly band tees--no, instead I tied all of my bandanas together into a dress and wore that.

Anyway, I especially like the bun here (although it is a tad bit difficult to see).  It is rather like any other bun that I have done before, only I stuck pins through the hair in the top to hold it closer to my head.  This makes it look less lumpy, and does not interrupt the flow of the back of my head.  Yes, that's it--more aerodynamic.

So the rest of these pictures?  Well I let my hair down, and it was super wavy!  <3
