I was testing out taking pictures by myself using a tri-pod. It was a half success, half fail lol. I love this dress, I included it in my haul video which was my second youtube video ever! Although I love the drapery of the dress, I did want to secure it down with a gold accent belt to accentuate my shape and also to add a nice pop of shimmer! Oh yes, the shoes were my grad heels..like 6 inches!

Belt- Charlotte Russe 3/$1.99

Dress me up...
I have been living out of a suitcase for most of this summer. So I have had few options as far as my wardrobe because I have been limited by space. Luckily, I have learned to deal with that issue by layering and using pop's of color. This outfit post strictly is to show you guys how to diversify one base piece (dress) and use it for a special occasion, a trip to the park or mall, or out at night with friends. I bought the dress actually for graduation weekend in June from Forever 21 for like $22.80. I was super stoke about it and it fits so well. I love to be modest yet sexy!

Gone Tribal
Today is so bittersweet for me. I am so sad that my brother is leaving me and going back to his reality. It has been an awesome summer...renegading like kids all over the northwest! Hanging with all my brothers! I will keep this memory, among amazing memories, forever. If there is one thing to say, wise words of sorts, the most important thing in life, is relationships...and your character. I'm working on mine...for life...

Summer Brights
Man, these last few weeks have truly been humbling and also a time forme to really learn patience. After I found the two gray hairs in the middle of my head, I realized that I need to calm down. I expected that after school I would find a job right away and settle down and that has not been the case at all. In fact, I have been failing at my hustle and couch surfing (lol kinda).
Regardless, my joy never fails. I love to laugh and enjoy life. And everyone starts somewhere right?!?!!! I love my photographer Taji (my bf). He is awesome! He was in town so of course I had photograph me. This outfit is so bright! I love it! I love bright colors like no other and I like to be radical in my outfit choices yet
relate-able.
