Senior Class of 2013 Yard Sale.

The sign.

First of all, I am extremely exhausted. I've been in the hot sun for three days straight. I don't usually burn, but I did a little on my neck and i am mad about that, yes. It better turn tan soon.

My tanlines haha

I am going to be a senior. Cray-cray!!!

at the library

I go to a little private school and my class is the biggest with 23 students. 21 participated in the yard sale. Anyways, we are raising money for our senior trip next summer and we want $800 a person. We wanted to go to Hawaii, but we will probably end up just going up the coast. It's what everyone does for their senior trip though.

We ended up raising $4200. The record for a FBA senior yard sale! Here are some pictures. :)

early morning starbucks run. My second time.

my friend put flowers in my hair.

4 of the guys asleep. haha

M,y temple run high score!

Ordering at Del Taco lol

Flowers. :)

Random post because I can't fall asleep.

It's true. I can't fall asleep. It's 12:22 am here but I'm just not tired. I haven't blogged in awhile, so I figured I would. :)

I'm currently instagraming (MissBrookiie) (I love instagram!), playing draw something with a friend who also can't sleep, and I'm texting said friend.

Here's some random pictures. :p

I think 2 are of LA, one is of me and my bro in our laker swag, and two are of me and my bestestestest friends EVER. and one is of a picture I drew when I was bored one day.

Peace out home dogs, I gotta hit the hay. :p

Sunday sunrise

This morning, I captured this picture with my iPod as I got ready.

I love sunsets and sunrises. They leave me in awe and literal breathlessness. God's an awesome artist.

Snazzy.

My friend told me that I looked snazzy today, so that is what I'm titling this post.

The past few days, I've worn ankle length skirts/dresses, so today I decided to break the pattern (?) and wear a knee length pencil skirt.

I love white skirts; I love pencil skirts. I don't wear pencil skirts that often just because they're kinda formfitting, so but this one is the perfect balance I think.

Since the skirt is tight, I wore the loose shirt with it to balance that out. During the day I tucked the shirt in, but I untucked it because I like it better untucked. I almost wore it with a belt, tucked in, but obviously I didn't. :)

Purple shirt (the tag is gone)-thrifted
White pencil skirt (Mossimo)-thrifted
Black Nine West peeptoe heels--thrifted

I feel like renaming my blog The Thrifting Maniac or something. It's rare I buy anything new. I Just can't do it lol.

I wore this to church :p

God's protection and grace

Today, my class began our senior trip fundraising. The first fundraiser is always the yard sale. We all had the day off school to go pick up donations and to hand out flyers.

One of the boys in my class was driving his dad's truck with a trailer behind it. Three other boys in my class were in the truck with him.

All day long they were out picking stuff up And we got some really great things. For the last pick up, they had to go drive up this hill and for some reason, they chose to take the trailer off.

They were gone for awhile when we received a text saying the car had flipped over 7 times and had fallen down a ravine. We were told the boys were in the hospital. It turned out that they weren't in the hospital, but the rest of the story was true.

At this point, we didn't know how they were doing and we were quite freaked out.

Then, one of the boys who was in the accident arrived looking ok. We were sooooo happy to see him!!!

I guess, the boys were driving uphill when the driver lost control of the car and it flipped off into the ditch.

The amazing thing is, they all made it out with minor injuries. The car is totaled...completely flat, but our guys are ok!

One of the boys hardly ever wears his seatbelt, yet he chose to wear it today. If the car would've landed slightly ahead of where it did, the boy in the passenger seat would've been crushed between a large rock and the truck. The boy in the passenger seat saved the driver's life by grabbing him before the roof caved in exactly where he was. The trailer wasn't connected to the truck and if it was, someone probably would've died. God protected these boys today and we Are soooo grateful!!!

The driver ended up receiving a few cuts on his arm, and I believe a minor cut on his head. The passenger received quite a few cuts on his head from the windshield breaking, but he is ok. One of the boys in the back received an injury to his hand and the other boy has a hurt leg and back but all of them are alive and they should be dead.

I am so grateful that God protected them. This has made us realize what an amazing God we have. It has also helped us realize how much we love and care about each other.

Before we left today to do pickups, we prayed a prayer of protection, and God protected us. I cannot thank God enough. If I am able to get the picture I will post it so that you can see the truck.

Once more, THANK YOU, LORD!!!!!!!

Mixing prints/50's style?

I wore this with the wedges for school and with the tennis shoes for a party.

I dress up for school everyday because it is the dress code. We can't wear denim or tennis shoes. :(

I like mixing prints, but this is only the 2nd time I've done it. It isn't quite as bold or daring as some, but I really liked it. What you should do is check out this blog (kristinemachine.blogspot.com). She is like, the master of mixing prints. I'm not as brave as she is and I also don't think I could pull it off as well. Haha.

Oh, and I think this outfit is kinda 50ish. It felt that way to me.

Another thing is, I love tying button-ups at the waist. I think I like how it is rather slimming and how it makes an outfit look, better, than being untied and just buttoned (at least this outfit) Plus this shirt is missing every button but one. Haha

Floral shirt-thrifted
Skirt- I can't even remember
Wedges-thrifted
Tennis shoes-thrifted

I'm a thrifting maniac guys. Haha

Oh another thing about mixing prints. I really liked doing it this way because it coordinated. You know like the blue flowers match the blue in my skirt? The kind of stuff you'd say when you were a little kid. :)


Ps since im using the blogger app for the iPod the pictures are in weird orders sometimes, and they always are at the end of the post...

Coral and khaki

It's really awkward taking pictures in the church bathroom. Lol

I'm obsessed with maxi dresses. I seriously would wear them all the time if I had enough. :)

Coral maxi dress---thrifted
Khaki jacket---Papaya
Shoes---American Eagle thrifted
Ring--forever21

Today was semi-cold. It was beautiful. I love cold weather as much as I love maxi dresses. It was somewhere between 55-60 degrees and yes, that is freezing :)

I apologize for the awkwardness of these pictures :) I'm still trying to figure out a good pose lol
