No. 9 Hippos DO Go Outside

(Shirt and Necklace-Gifts, Flower clip-made by me, Skirt-thrifted and altered, Belt-Charlotte Russe, it came on a shirt, Shoes- Forever 21)
Look I'm outside again! My sister probably hates how much I pest her to take pictures for me, but I'm so sick of my mirror pics!

Then again you can never really predict what's gonna happen outside:

With Sephora and Hot Topic both having huge sales this week, my sister and I HAD to make a mall run, and so I decided to wear my handy dandy floral flats. I actually got a compliment from one of the Macy's perfume ladies on the outfit and then another from a sales woman at Bakers on the shoes. I really like them, they pull my toes up because they scrunch that way, and so I'm constantly pressing them forward with my toe muscles and I feel like every time I wear them it's a mini toe-workout. Haha.

Speaking of Bakers, I bought more shoes:
I just COULDN'T. HELP. MYSELF.
I had already spent too much money at Sephora but they were on sale! And the last pair in my size! And BOTH of the sales girls talked me into them! (Haha, yea like I really needed convincing... :P)
This brings me to a grand total of 56 pairs of shoes, but I really think I'm going to be getting rid of some soon, I know some of them won't make it to the end of the challenge, and I need the space.
I think I'm going to wear these to a friend's wedding in July, but they're just so pretty I don't even want to wear them, just stare at them for hours. :)

No.5 With a Little Help From My Friends

Yes! It's true! I do go outside! :D

I figured after my brief hiatus I'd do something a little special...
...go out into my backyard!
Ha!

The alternating extremes of really hot to really rainy has been a pain lately but today has actually been kind of nice. Figuring out if you need jacket on or off was my only real problem today, which is a total blessing seeing as how this past week is going in the record books as one of the worst in my entire life.

But today was the ray of sunshine after the rain.
(eww how cheesy can I get??)
(Why yes... that is my cool kid face) :P

Jacket- Pac Sun
White Tunic- Can't remember, thrifted most likely
Jeans- Mervyn's? haha how sad that place closed like 3 years ago! Oh well they still fit
shoes- forever 21

I wanted to do a closeup on the shoes cuz technically their pair number 5 even tho I have more pics from other outfits not yet posted...
...But then my little Buddy decided he'd use this opportunity to get some attention.
(his name is actually Buddy, it's not just a title)

Special thanks to my sis who took the pics for me and my little Buddy for the added cuteness!
