week 10 + finals

Wow, we've made it all the way to the last post of fall term! Without further ado:

Monday, 11.16.09 - A simple outfit, but I like it.

Tuesday, 11.17.09 - Whenever I wear the striped leggings, I always get lots of comments about them. I guess people like them? I like them, anyway.

Wednesday, 11.18.08 - Not much to say about this one.

Thursday, 11.19.09 - I like the pastel color combinations in this outfit; I've been trying to find something to wear those armwarmers with for a while, too.

Friday, 11.20.09 - I think the green-brown combination is a little Robin Hood-y, but I like it anyway.

Saturday, 11.21.09 - I took three finals pretty much back-to-back this day, so I was determined to be comfortable - and I was! I was also very school-spirited, apparently.

And then since it was the last time Social Dance Club met for the term, we decided to dress up! I managed to wear the new heels I bought before school started and even danced a waltz in them. :D

Sunday, 11.22.09 - I've become fond of pairing this blue-striped shirt with black, even though my instinct is that navy and black never mix. I think it works in this outfit, though.

Monday, 11.23.09 - I really like this outfit, actually. And it even rained a little, so the boots didn't go totally to waste!

Tuesday, 11.24.09 - So since I didn't actually go to sleep last night [hence the French braids two pictures in a row], I could probably have kept wearing the dress for all of today. But I figured it was my last picture for the term, so I changed.

And so...there we go! Fall term is over, I'm heading to the airport in roughly four and a half hours, and I'm feeling pretty good about this whole blogging project thing. Pretty proud, also, since I not only remembered to take a picture of myself every day [in the morning, no less - I actually got up earlier specifically to have enough time to take them], but I'm pretty sure I've also managed to come up with an entirely new outfit for every day since I came to Carleton on September 3rd. I wore the same clothes over again, yes, and sometimes the only change was a different color pant or something, but still - I have not gone out this term wearing the exact same thing that I had worn previously. To me, that's an accomplishment.

Of course, trying to wear something different every day is kind of a pain and sometimes takes a lot more time in the morning than I really should spend on deciding what to wear. On the other hand, it's given me a chance to wear a lot of clothes that got pretty much neglected before, like most of my armwarmers, and also made me be creative and think up color combinations I like. I still haven't decided if I want to keep it up over winter break, though, since I suspect a large number of those days will be spent in my pajamas. For winter term, I'll definitely keep taking pictures, since cold and snow necessitate a whole plethora of adorable winter accessories I haven't really gotten a chance to wear yet. To take some of the pressure off, though, I might end up just taking pictures of new outfits, without necessarily trying to make it every day, so I can slack off some days and re-wear some of the outfits I like so much.

Basically, starting this project this term has been a lot of fun. It's mostly for my own sake, but I'm still glad to know that a few of my friends/family members follow it occasionally; it makes me feel like there's more of a point to it and motivates me to keep going. So if you're reading this right now, thanks very much, and there'll be more to come, so stay tuned! :D

week 9

Sunday update! This is me being up relatively early and not wanting to do homework but still wanting to somehow feel productive.

Monday, 11.9.09 - I like the colors of this outfit a lot. Also that skirt is really comfortable.

Tuesday, 11.10.09 - My friend gave me these pants, for no reason whatsoever, and I love them. They make fantastic swooshy motions as I walk. :D

Wednesday, 11.11.09 - The socks don't really match the outfit at all. But I didn't really care and kind of like it.

And my patriotic earrings, because it was Veteran's Day:

Thursday, 11.12.09 - I hardly ever wear this shirt. I mostly bought it for pseudo-cosplay purposes, because it looks like the boy's uniform in Fruits Basket.

Friday, 11.13.09 - This day started out as miserable as Friday the 13ths are supposed to be, but then it did a 360 and finished excellently. :) Also I'm glad I finally found a way to wear those arm warmers. They used to be socks and don't really match anything.

Saturday, 11.14.09 - A bum day, because I slept in much later than I have all term. I'm laughing in this picture because people started showing up while I took the picture and distracted me.

Sunday, 11.15.09 - Another not-so-motivated day. I think I'm starting to run out of outfit ideas. -.-'

So next week's post will be the last one for fall term! Crazy crazy.

week 8

So I totally failed this week at posting on time, for no reason whatsoever. Sorry.

Monday, 11.2.09 - I've never been able to figure out exactly what kind of animal that's supposed to be.

Tuesday, 11.3.09 - I think this would probably look better with a white button-up instead of khaki, but it works. The sweater is a little short, though.

Wednesday, 11.4.09 - I actually really like this combination.

Thursday, 11.5.09 - It's outfits like this one that make me wish I had black suede boots to go with them. I'll get them someday.

Friday, 11.6.09 - I also like this outfit a lot.

And for no real reason, a close-up of my sheep earrings!

Saturday, 11.7.09 - My roommate calls this my hot date outfit, though not exactly in reference to the outfit itself. I'll leave it at that. :)

Sunday, 11.8.09 - A bum day if I ever had one. Glasses, even!

And that's it! Next week's post may or may not be on time, since that'll be right around finals/paper-writing time. We're getting closer and closer to the end of the term, about which I have mixed feelings.

week 7

Hurray for another on-time post! This week was relatively warm, so I got excited and wore lots of skirts. :) On another note, I can't decide how to format the dates for the pictures - day of the week, date, with dots or dashes or writing it out. I've done a different way pretty much every post. Any opinions?

 10.26.09 - More armwarmers! I hardly ever wear these, so in an effort to match them that day I went brown-and-blue crazy - I'm also wearing my brown boots, which I forgot to include in the picture.

10.27.09 - In retrospect, I can't decide if this combination actually looks okay or not.

10.28.09 - A boring day. I wore this sweatshirt all the time last year, but this is the first time for this year.

10.30.09 - A rainy day! I really like this outfit, actually. Plus French braids make any day a good day. :)

10.30.09 - Because I couldn't be on campus for Halloween, I decided to go Halloween-y the day before. :)

Here's a close-up of my hair,which was really just me not taking out the French braids all the way after sleeping in them, but which I think looks cool. And also my Halloween earrings! I have three piercings per ear now, so I can wear every pair at once, which is exciting since I can really only wear them once a year. :D

10.31.09 - 11.01.09 - Our team theme for the Hallowinona tournament was spandexual obscure holidays, so I bought [shiny!] silver spandex and wrote compliments all over two t-shirts to be National Compliment Day. :D

I'm not going to lie, I really enjoyed the shiny spandex. :)

week 6

Finally, an on-time update! Even though I highly doubt that anybody's schedule was widely disrupted by my late postings, it's still nice to be back on track. :)

10.19.09 - Not only was this day mid-term break [our one and only day off], but it was also absolutely gorgeous outside! Thus the wonderfully not-so-warm clothing. :D

10.20.09 - For some reason I only ever wear this halter with something under it, never by itself.

10.21.09 - I've decided that I really like red in combination with my rain boots. I like this outfit a lot.

10.22.09 - I always have difficulty matching stuff to this green jacket. Also it's really long, which probably makes me look even shorter than I am. -.-' On the other hand, it's really comfortable and pretty warm.

10.23.09 - More rain! My rainboots are getting so much use, it's ridiculous. But wonderful. :)

And over that, I finally wore my Domo-kun hoodie! It's one of my favorites, but for some reason this is the first time I've worn it all term. In retrospect it doesn't really go all that well, but whatever.

10.24.09 - I really like this outfit. The red shirt has little owls on it, which you can't really see, but it's one of my favorite shirts. :)

10.25.09 - I should wear this shirt more often; it's really cute!

 

And that's all for sixth week! Next week I'll probably be late and/or missing pictures again, because it's our final frisbee tournament of the term and I'll be gone again. It's a dress-up Halloween tournament and our theme is apparently 'Spandexual,' so...look forward to possible pictures? Or not. O_o

week 5

Apologies for how late this post is - I knew it would be late but didn't expect it to be quite so late. It's a small post, too, because I didn't have a way to take pictures on Saturday and Sunday, being in Wisconsin without my laptop. But I was just wearing athletic clothing anyway, so not too interesting.

Monday, 10/12/09: A day of snow! I got excited about wearing my snow boots and couldn't decide which picture was best, so there are three. :)

And a shot of my boots:

Tuesday, 10/13/09

Wednesday, 10/14/09:  My favorite part about this outfit is the pockets on the shirt.

Thursday, 10/15/09: I think this is the last day I had my gold star earrings. I forgot to take them out for frisbee practice and they disappeared somehow. :/

Friday, 10/16/09: I love the colors of this outfit. I'm also really glad that my armwarmers are seeing good use these days. :)

So there's fifth week, finally! Hopefully next week [or in a few days, actually] I'll get back to posting on time. :) Also, this is silly of me, but I only just realized that you can click on the pictures to make them bigger! So maybe it's actually possible to tell what earrings I'm wearing sometimes.
