Good news and bad news

So, I swear self-tanner is on my grocery list, I just get groceries about as often as I do laundry (which is not often, let me tell you). And I spend most of my life studying inside so....the bad news is my legs will just be kinda white-ish for now.

But the good news is: 1) I had a good hair day, and 2) Every outfit is made better by the color yellow. Also, all I have to do is survive 24 more days until graduation!

Also, my legs are not sunburnt.

So it turns out, when you live in a small town you get some strange looks when you wear colored tights. I wanted to tell them, "Hello people, red tights* are perfectly okay in bloggy land and other places outside of southern New Mexico. Don't worry about it. Also, my legs are not sunburnt. And you are not funny."

Okay maybe a little funny, but not original for sure.

*They're actually the same ones that I wore here, but then I layered them over black ones so they ended up a more maroon-y shade.

Oh well. I also finally got myself a stripe-y shirt, even though it's been like a month since Breton Stripes day. I also don't own any polka dots, and the polls are showing those will be next. Looks like I have an excuse to go shopping.

New year, new look, new Lydia

If you follow me on twitter, then you know that I got a haircut this past weekend. This is a big deal because I think it had been since June since I'd had a cut, and I was in need of a change, even if it was a small one. The wind wasn't doing me any favors while taking pictures today though, so here's a better picture of the cut.

Bonus points if you got the Degrassi reference in the title! It's slightly addicting if you've ever seen it. And slightly, I mean I spent all day Saturday and Sunday watching a marathon of it. So much for being any kind of productive.

Hope you all are having an awesome Monday!

I heart New Mexico

And yes, that is the state of New Mexico. Seriously everyone should go and check out Truche right now. Her jewelry is just lovely, and if she doesn't have a state/country that you want (she didn't have New Mexico, for example), she'll do a custom piece for you. And it'll be awesome. So go do it now, so we can all match.

Anyway, I was feeling very Elle-inspired today, so I decided to finally try wearing shorts with tights. And I loved it! The rest of the little town that I live in might have been confused, but oh well.

Oh, and if this shirt looks familiar, it's because I only own so many long-sleeved shirts and it's cold outside. Although I did exchange it for a couple of sizes bigger after wearing it last time. I think I like it better now. I kept the other flannel I have just like it the same size, mostly because I actually took the tags off that one.

Oh! And I did this awesome DIY last night to organize my tights drawer. Expect pictures later. Best idea ever Linley.
