I told you this would happen...

BEFORE

I got a hair cut again! I said I would and I did :P
My mom said if I wanted one I'd have to pay for it so I hunted down pictures yesterday morning and we went.


AFTER


Its short again! lol. And I have bangs. Apparently it was worse than I thought it was because the lady was pretty amazed. In a bad way... Usually we go to Great Clips which is at the other end of the shopping center. Today I tried Best Cuts because I really didnt like the other place. The lady who cut my hair also said they did quite a number on my hair and promised she'd do a better job. So I felt a little better... I think its kind of cute... it'll take a little getting used to...




Then we went to Payless because I wanted some new shoes for church. Once again I had to pay for my own stuff. I found a pair i liked that was on sale for $16 and I found another pair that was on sale for $6. So I got two pairs of shoes for the price of one.






These gold ones are going to hopefully go with a dress my mom found at the thrift store. This dress was hand made and probably from like the '60s or something so... The top was made kind of weird so my mom has to take it in a bit... and I wanted to get some black velvet ribbon or something so it'd match the shoes more. Or maybe just normal black ribbon would be okay, I dunno... So we'll see how it goes. But I loved the shoes and they were only $6 so I got them.

They also had a pair of green and white slip on sneakers that had these cute animals and stuff all over them :P And black and neon blue skate shoes that were awesome. But I decided to stop spending money before it was all gone :P

Assembling The Atomic Jigsaw

I bugged my mom to take me shopping for an easter dress. We tried Target first because they had some cute dresses on sale in their ad.

I HATE Target. I mean they have some cute bags sometimes and some cool t-shirts most of the time, but when it comes to dressy clothes and shoes, they suck. And when do I ever buy bags and t-shirts? Like never. So it doesn't do me any good.

So, frustrated, we headed to Old Navy. Which also sucked. And then we walked down to Dots. Dots is officially my new favorite store. They had awesome clothes all over the place and the lady was SUCH a big help. She asked me what I was looking for, what I liked, and helped me find a few things. I tried on a bunch of cute dresses but none of them really worked for me. But my mom found this one.

Its cute, and the employee chic even helped me find a sweater to go with it.


So yeah, the sweater was $7 and the dress was $20 which is pretty good considering the ugly dresses at Target were $40.



Its all ruffly at the top too...
I was hoping to find something colorful to wear with it... cuz its all black and white... and the shoes are I have that match (from Christmas) are black too.

I especially like the sweater though because I'll be able to wear it with other stuff too so...
yay. lol.

Hopefully we can go back some time... they had some suhweet leggings, and some really awesome shirts so...

Okay, so I suck at "fashion photography"

I had absolutely no creativity today for pictures... actually lately I've been noticing that a lot. o.o Hmm.

But I got some new clothes!

The family I babysit for wanted to get me a birthday present. but they didn't want to get me something I didn't want so today the mom took me to the mall to pick something out. She knew Pacific Sunwear is one of my favorite stores (because they sell volcom stuff there.) but um... she was looking for stuff around $20 and... I passed a pair of awesome Volcom shorts... that were $40. So we left that store pretty quick. They did have a totally sweet volcom belt... with the volcom stone all over it in different sizes. but it was $20... -_- pssht.

Anyways, we stopped in Wet Seal. I've never been in there before but they have some awesome stuff there. I was in love with the hot pink skinny jeans. But the only pair they had left was size 00. Whatever that means, lol. So i tried on the bright blue pair, and some normal colored ones, and some "short" ones and size 7, size 3 (barely), size 5.

Unfortunately, skinny jeans don't work on me. No matter how cool they are. T_T Im not skinny enough I guess, lol. I have weird legs... But moving on.

I don't go shopping for myself a lot. I admire everything and never try anything on or buy anything. So its always weird for me, when I actually go someplace to buy something for myself... because I just don't do it. lol. They had some awesome t-shirts there... but I didnt "have to have" any of them... Finally I discovered I liked the long stretchy camisoles... so I tried some on and I found a shirt to go over it and found some shorts I really really liked. So voila. After like two hours I found something... Unfortunately it ended up being like $40 so the lady I went with paid for the shorts and I paid for the two shirts.



I HAVE GIRLY CLOTHES NOW :P
Now I just have to wait for it to warm up so I can actually wear them. meh.

Glasses

Yesterday I was bored and convinced my mom to take me to the mall.
We walked in the door and the first store we see is a Lens Crafters. Since my dad found some cheap glasses there and I've had this pair for about three years (and the same style for even longer,) my mom suggested we see if they had any appointments open. Well they did actually, it didn't take very long before they were ready for me. And the exam was pretty short too...

its the picking out of the glasses that took a while.
Because I'm really picky. And really indecisive.
So the two don't mix very well...
Plus I had to pick something cheaper because our insurance only covers $100 and apparently women's glasses are not quite as cheap as men's glasses. Or something because they didnt have a whole lot of cheap glasses. Oh well.

I wanted a pair of red and black Puma's that were totally awesome. >_< And totally over $200 so... they were out of the question.




They kind of looked like that. They were rounder and red. Those are DKNY though, I couldnt find the picture of the pumas.


I finally ended up with these. (I think... its the closest picture I could find online) But they didnt have the lens I need so they have to order them. So it'll be 7-10 days. I wish it didnt have to take so long... everything else was fast. but oh well.
I found out I have a slight astigmatism.
Thats fun to say, lol.
Basically it means my left eye is shaped more like a football than a baseball I guess. Which would explain why that eye is worse than my right. Because it affects the way i see things. I guess. Anyways.

Yeah, when they finally get them in I'll have to take some pictures.

In other news my bracket on my expander is falling off and I have to go back a week early to get it fixed. Soon I think I actually get the braces on.

In OTHER news, I'm really bad at this posting a picture a day thing and its only the 7th day of the year, oh boy.
