You got style.

This really highlights my acne scars, but I like this pic.
Why am I standing like this?

The customer service girl at Sam's Club actually said that to me today. She also asked where to get my shoes, and complimented me on my blouse. It was one of the high points in an otherwise not so good day. We're on a tight budget. I'm an unemployed student, so that sort of goes without saying. And my sister is having a baby this week, and Peter's niece is (possibly, now with the horrible earthquake and tsunami) going away to Japan for a year. We were supposed to visit our families up north this weekend. So, we took the car in to get the tires rotated and balanced. And ended up having to get two new tires. One of our tires had a horrifying giant bald spot, complete with wires showing through. I really don't understand  how they got so bad, because we were very recently told by our mechanic that the tires has a lot of life left in them. I know I'm truly lucky to have all that I do, but it still breaks my heart knowing we'll be missing such big important family events over money.

30 for 30 Fail

So, my attempt to join the 30 for 30 was a massive fail. BUT! In the past 30 days, I have taken midterms and... moved out to the middle of nowhere. Surrounded by farms and so far out our cell phones don't work...

Here's what I wore today. This one is for you, Mom. I'm too embarrassed to post these on Facebook for you to see like I promised, so I'm back to blogging.
Denim Jacket- Levi's
Floral Tank- Lane Bryant
Pencil Skirt- Kiyonna
Wedges- Corso Como
