Thanksgiving ootd

 Here's a quick post since Thanksgiving is coming up in America, and I figured I'd put my outfit up here to show the people of the internet, because, why not?

This bodycon crop top is from the Bethany Mota collection at Aeropostale 

This skirt is from Old Navy

I would wear these nude wedges with this outfit, but I'm having Thanksgiving at my house, so I'll probably go with some black flats

here is a grandkid-grandma photo

And that's that, an easy-peasy Thanksgiving outfit. 

Now I have to get back to "analyzing" Frankenstein quotes for English

Friends with a capital F.

Being a quarter way through senior year and only having about seven months left in high school scares me a lot. Just the other day I swear I was 14 year old freshmen not knowing much of anything about anything. I had the realization yesterday that I'm getting older, and I'm not too sure how ready I am for "adulthood".

While I'm going crazy trying to get my life together, my friends are keeping me sane (somewhat). It's never a dull moment, whether I'm at the lunch table, in math, gym or ceramics, the probability of seeing me not laugh or smile is slim.

This is why I am so fond of these people. On days like today, the opening day of the play, Diary of Anne Frank, we have "red carpet day" (spoiler: it does not involve a red carpet) where everyone in the cast and crew dresses to the nines (kinda) and take super snazzy pictures with each other, also causing a huge blockage of people in the hall outside the lunch room. Even though I am not involved in this year's play, I figured,"why the hell not?" and got dressed up too. Being that it is one of my last opening day/night things I made sure to document the occasion.

You're welcome.

Then some candids

Also my camera was stolen

 It was also a day of twinning yesterday

Again, you're welcome.

Walks in the Park

Every Sunday I've started taking my dog out for walks in the Parks near where I live. I started off bringing her to Washington Rock, but I found a quieter, lesser known park to go instead. (I was also going to bring her to the Great Swamp Wildlife Preserve, but we found out when we got there that dogs were not allowed) East County Park doesn't even look like a park from the entrance, and I don't think anyone would know it was if it weren't for the small sign on the side of the road before you turn in.

clearly this wasn't taken on the same day

my dog being the usual antisocial creature she is when she sees other dogs walking in the opposite direction toward us, but across the park, she decides she wants to leave spoiler: we didn't run into them anyway

snazzy water pump that doesn't work

creepy trail/path thing that led to bunches of open fields 

(almost slipped and died when my dog decided to walk down the muddiest path to get back to the car)

And then I enjoyed a cup of chicken noodle soup because it was so dang cold outside.
