I call these my elephant leg pants because the bottoms are seriously so large.  But who passes up $4 cute and comfy clothes?  Certainly not me.  My entire outfit cost barely over $20, and 3/4 of it was on these sandals.  I feel like I've been wearing some awesome bargains lately!  I was going to wear this outfit with a navy, red, and white printed headscarf and possibly red lipstick- but it came out so nautical in a costumey way, and what I was aiming for was definitely not costumey.  So I went with some brown and gold accents instead and liked the way it came out.

See this poor kid?  This is all he's been doing for over a month straight- I'm not kidding.  All day AND a large chunk of the night studying.  For what?  The DAT.  It's apparently this pretty hard test that determines whether or not all of those dentist wannabees get into dental school.  Greg wants to be an oral surgeon, so this test is pretty important to him.  It's important to me too, because as of Monday night I have my companion and photographer back!  Yay!  

Sandals? Check. Skirt from Middle School? Check. Cute Pictures with Friends? Check :)

Where
Classes and work

Why
My grandma bought me this skirt in 7th grade and it is definitely one of my absolute favorite pieces that I still wear all too often in the warmer months. Although I love short skirts, I usually wear longer ones when I'm in class or at work. Yay for warm weather and no need for layering up! And YAY for compliments! Doesn't it seriously make your day so much better?

Also, since I seem to be in the mood for yaying things- yay for pictures with friends :) The first thing Dawn said to me this morning was, "Can I be in your blog today?!" Yes Dawn, you can be in the blog today. In all seriousness though, I really do like her casual Americana look. It shows that all you need to pull off a cute look is some fun accessories and a bright pair of shoes.
