Do tell! ;) </span></span>I'm doing <b>pretty good</b> myself <b>:)</b> just working and getting ready for my boyfriend's graduation as a Marine! :D Okay...it's not until the end of September (it falls on my birthday!!!!!), but a trip to California is going to take a lot of planning and preparing, so yes we're starting now! I'm sooooo excited to see him after 13 whole weeks :o When this first started, I honestly did not believe that I would make it...sigh :) BTW, in his letter he told me that he actually misses taking my pictures for my blog! :P <i>and and and</i> he's ready to shoot in Cali when I'm there :DDD <br />
<br />

<br />
School is also right around the corner! Yikes! Of course, being the total nerd that I AM, I'm super eager to get goin'! Well, I'm sure once school is here I'll be <i>dying</i> for a break, but being a busy bee helps to keep me sane.<br />

I told you guys how I bought a new camera, right? It's a Samsung... I'm actually not that happy with it. It takes really blurry pictures and well, the pictures just seem low quality to me... Of course, I ain't no photographer either! Or a good editor. Blah. I wish I had just bought a second Nikon Coolpix...those lovelies rock! <br />
<br />

<br />
On to this outfit...what do YOU think? I am in loveee with this oh so delicate skirt that I bought a year ago! I've only worn it one other time...tsk tsk! I need to take all my gorgeous clothes out more often! I always imagine this skirt paired with soft colors, but I can't seem to find anything perfect in the mess that is my dear dear closet, sooooo I tried something different! I pulled out this black loose tank that I usually wear with leggings! (It's long, just tucked in...here, it works as a slip too for this sheeeeer skirt. :D) Of course, this owl necklace just matches <i>everything</i> in my closet. And I needed something to pull it all together, hence the denim vest! And <b>look, look</b> at the fabulous bracelet my mom brought me back from her trip to Wisconsin! ♥<br />

You guys...<span style="font-size: x-large;">thank youuuuu ♥ <span style="font-size: small;">for still reading and leaving me comments! I smile like this :D when I get new comments and it's still a surprise to me that y'all still stop by (let alone, <b>comment</b>) even when I'm gone! :) <b>Welcome</b>, anyone newwwww! Do enjoy :) </span></span><br />
<br />
Well, I've gotta get to writing back to my soon-to-be Marine ♥ I'm trying to get back into the groove of blogging...so cheer me on! ;)<br />
<br />
Facts: This week has given us 107° weather :o<br />
Everything I'm wearing is Forever 21 except the Wet Seal vest and the bracelet from Wisconsin! <br />

<br />
I've been MIA for ages now, huh? I come and go so quickly...I'm such a bad blogger :/ Lol.<br />
I have been Tumblin' along though...check out <a href="http://sincerelyerika.tumblr.com/">my Tumblr</a> if you would like :D And don't you go calling me a traitor! Haha...<br />

<br />
I guess I've got some explaining to do...well, forever ago my camera stopped working. That was right around the same time I started my job at a doctor's office where I have to wear scrubs on a daily basis :| And finally, to top things off...my boyfriend/my photographer is currently in boot camp for the United States Marine Corps. As you can see, all odds have been against me...it's like the universe just doesn't want me to blog! Haha. Well, I finally got around to buying a new camera...and here it goes in action :) And, since I don't have my fancy photographer to drag me around to pretty spots outside, this is in my room. Yup. Nothin' fancy for now. Hopefully I'll get around to buying a tripod soon and get the guts to step outside with it! Ha. Well, since I ain't got nothin' fancy I resorted to <a href="http://www.picnik.com/">Picnik</a> to add a little somethin' somethin' to my photo.<br />
<br />
No, I didn't wear this today. I was just messing around with my camera and some clothes I haven't gotten around to wearing. New Abercrombie pink shorts. F21 top. And F21 "j'adore" two-finger ring. I love my French ♥<br />
<br />
Well, I'm ending my novel here.

I originally bought a dress for the occasion, but changed my mind last minute. Typical :P <br />

I love what I came up with, though...the tutu and feathers seem masquerade-appropriate to me.<br />

It seems like all odds are against me lately in regards to taking pictures for you guys. Yesterday, after snapping just a few, Pablo had to rush me inside after a whole gang of mosquitoes decided to have my leg for lunch. <b>A whole gang. </b>The mosquito bites look more like huge red birth marks on my legs. No wonder...my mom told me that when I was little she took me to the doc to have my mosquito bites inspected, and they thought she was beating me! I think I'm allergic. So...today when we headed out, I opted for tights. Tights + 90° weather don't mix. I need to buy repellent and soon.<br />
<br />
That was yesterday. Today, it was superrrrr windy. I mean, the breeze felt wonderful, but it was no good for photos. <br />
<br />
Wish me better luck for tomorrow! ♥Erikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12736525890672171462noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341283939980621248.post-4388724822473329962010-05-03T21:35:00.003-05:002010-05-04T18:46:52.608-05:00April showers bring May flowers...and a challenge!Ladies, meet <i>the skirt that I wore under my tunic <b><a href="http://deardearcloset.blogspot.com/2010/04/thrifted-love.html">last time</a></b>. </i><br />
<i>Skirt that I wore under my tunic last time</i>,<i> </i>meet the ladies.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=100_1152.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/100_1152.jpg" /></a><i></i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>I know, I know</i>, I practically <b>just</b> wore this. But, isn't it wonderful to be able to remix items so? It is :)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=100_1153.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/100_1153.jpg" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Please ignore my eyes in some of these photos, the sun was staring at me.</span><br />
<br />
And, there's actually a specific reason why I'm wearing this skirt again. Dana over at <a href="http://dailydoseofdana.tumblr.com/">Daily Dose of Dana</a> mentioned <a href="http://www.fabfindsunder50.com/2010/04/may-outfit-inspiration-calendar.html">This May Outfit Inspiration Calendar</a> by Kimberly from <a href="http://www.fabfindsunder50.com/">Fab Finds Under $50</a> and I love it! She basically gives you a small style tip/challenge for each day of May. Today was the first day and the tip/challenge was <span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Color Combo: <span style="background-color: white; color: black;">Magenta</span>, <span style="background-color: white;">Black</span> & <span style="background-color: white; color: black;">White</span></b></span><br />
<i><a href="http://deardearcloset.blogspot.com/2010/04/thrifted-love.html"><br />
</a></i><br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=100_1155.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/100_1155.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Hence, I wore this skirt. By the way, I don't plan on sticking to this hard core...it's just something to take cues from each day. A little less standing in front of my closet since I'll be looking for specific things. I am quite the indecisive gal.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=100_1157.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/100_1157.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<i>For instance</i>, I had a hard time deciding how to accessorize because I liked too many of my options. Ugh, I just reminded myself of a Sonic customer from <i>back in the day when I used to work at Sonic</i> who asked for drink options, but after I started listing the endless possibilities, she said there was <b>too many</b> and drove off. Customers :P<br />
<br />

<br />
Also, I got my <a href="http://deardearcloset.blogspot.com/2010/04/guess-whaaaaat-i-erika-won-this-jacket.html">Charlotte Russe jacket</a> today. I was like <b>yay yay yay yay yay! </b><i>until</i> I saw the size. Medium. :( It's too big for me and like all things too big for me, it is now in the hands of my mother. She's already planning to wear it over the Holidays. Hehe. At least it found a new, good home :) But, thanks anyway for all the congratulations! I always feel like I have zero chance of winning a giveaway. This one, I entered without even knowing what the prize was until I was notified that I had won. Even then, they didn't tell me what it was. I had to look thru Charlotte Russe's previous tweets to find out. Haha :P<br />

I'm just doing a quick post regarding the poll I put up a few days ago...<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=Picnikcollage-3.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/Picnikcollage-3.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
I asked YOU which outfit you like better, and 75 % answered the one with tights.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=102_1015.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/102_1015.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Tights rule.</span><br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I am sad because Texas weather (which is only going to get hotter) is keeping me bare-legged. Okay, I'm not that sad. After all, summer is right around the corner ;)<br />
<br />
If you didn't get to vote, you can just leave a comment here saying which outfit you like better. I always love hearing from you :)<br />
<br />
Well, that's all for now. Thank you for reading (and voting!) and stay tuned for an outfit post tonight. <br />

<br />
How are youuuuu? I'm doing <i>pretty</i> good myself. Although, today I had contact with<br />
<br />
...<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">poison ivy!</span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=102_1107.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/102_1107.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Yes :/ It happened while taking these pictures (which is why there's unusually so little of them).<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=102_1104.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/102_1104.jpg" /></a> <br />
<br />
I was positioning myself in thick, tall grass for a photo, when I felt a snag on my tights... :O That's all I was thinking about, my tights. Because I've been wearing them so much lately, and I didn't think it was anything more than some branches or something.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Wrong. </span><br />
<br />
Pablo noticed and pulled me out. I still thought my tights were snagged and that was the end of it. Then, the rip started irritating me, burning and whatnot. And I saw blood beginning to form. <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Tiny, tiny</span> dots. But, still.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=102_1108.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/102_1108.jpg" /></a><br />
I had a face like this then <span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">:(</span><br />
<br />
and was just about ready to take my shorts off in the middle of nowhere.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=102_1105.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/102_1105.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Haha...Pablo knew better, though, and asked for permission to rip my tights. Sooooo...I silently said goodbye and watched as he grew a hole in my tights. Sigh. I was in such a good mood before this, too.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=102_1114.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/102_1114.jpg" /></a> <br />
<br />
Anyway, my damaged leg hurts and there's a curve of dots, but that's about it <i>so far.</i> We'll see how much worse it gets. :/<br />
<br />

Yea, did I mention my amazing personal photographer? (Heck yea, that sounds fancy. Lol.)<br />
<br />
You know what I <b>love</b>? Before I started Dear Dear Closet, I had very few (good) photos of myself...look now! I can just imagine my children and grandchildren treasuring these. Hopefully, one day I can print some of these out. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy them!<br />
<br />

<br />
This is actually a short tunic that I wore with a skirt underneath. I complemented the skirt with a matching tube top. I felt fabulous in this outfit and felt like I had <i>spring</i> written all over me. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=102_1032.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/102_1032.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />

<br />
I looove how only the detailing of the skirt shows. Also, this was the first time I wore these gray sheer tights and I fell head over heels for them. On the box it actually says "off-black" so I wasn't sure how they would appear on my legs. Buttt, yea, I love them! The sheerness and hint of gray are perfect with my tunic and the pops of color elsewhere ;D<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=102_1037.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/102_1037.jpg" /></a><br />

<br />
Also, when I first bought this tunic, I never imagined wearing it like this. I thought it was edgier and would be worn by me accordingly. In fact, I actually thought about wearing it with my diamond fishnet tights from the two previous posts. I probably will one day, but I have to find something to wear under because the tunic is so short! Even with tights...that's why I played around with a few skirts underneath and settled on this one ;)<br />

Shooting (yesterday) was so much fun! We went to a place we had been <a href="http://deardearcloset.blogspot.com/2010/04/this-ones-for-you.html">before</a>, but since it's humongous it was still a blast. We also explored a little further and found a few more neat things. Then, we headed on over to a neighboring neighborhood. I think people kept looking at us and wondering <i>what the heck</i> we were doing taking pictures in front of their dead ends. Haha!<br />

I bought this awesome "love" belt at a thrift store in Austin...the same one where I got my sunflower necklace! (The one that I just can't get enough of this spring and, for sure, this summer.) The belt is colorful and just so charming! The detailing is pretty darn amazing...but guess whaaat? Yeah, as you can see below, it is 2 times too big for me...I had to wrap it around <b>twice</b> and then used a bobby pin to keep it in place...hehe! Don't worry, you can't tell when you're not zooming in!<br />

I was tagged by Nikita from <a href="http://infinitedreamzzz.blogspot.com/">Infinite Emotions...</a> in this little blog game. I'm supposed to post my very first blog post ;) <br />
<br />
Gah...I have worked pretty hard on my blog, so it's changed a lot. I do have to admit, though, that this is not my <b>very</b> first post...I actually deleted the very, very first one awhile back. But, here's <a href="http://deardearcloset.blogspot.com/2009/11/unofficial-tour-guide.html">the oldest post</a> on Dear Dear Closet. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://deardearcloset.blogspot.com/2009/11/unofficial-tour-guide.html">Check it out</a><span style="font-size: small;"> and then let me know how you think my blog has changed since then...</span></span>here's what I found:<br />
<ul><li>I think I write a lot more now, length-wise.</li>
<li>My photo is smaller. (They are actually inconsistent in size through the beginning of my blog.)</li>
<li>My outfit details are listed without the heading I use now: <u><b>What I'm/was wearing</b></u></li>
<li>I actually wrote out Forever 21...haha! I just write F21 now, since I have so much of it in my closet</li>
<li>And...dun dun dun...I took that picture on my own. Using the timer on my camera. In my dorm room, rather than outside by my boyfriend.</li>
</ul>You see, those are quite a lot of changes, both significant and insignificant. Do you notice anything else? Let me know if you do ;) And, now, I have to tag 5 people:<br />
<ol><li>Cheyne from <a href="http://inasweaterpoorlyknitblog.blogspot.com/">In a Sweater Poorly Knit</a> </li>
<li>Maggie from <a href="http://life-size-paperdoll.blogspot.com/">Lifesize Paperdoll</a></li>
<li>Texan Teen from <a href="http://chewederasersandcrazyoutbursts.blogspot.com/">Chewed Erasers & Crazy Outbursts</a></li>
<li>Texan from <a href="http://texaninuae.blogspot.com/">Texan in UAE</a></li>
<li>Kaitlin from <a href="http://sayhellostyle.blogspot.com/">If You See Her, Say Hello</a></li>
</ol>Play along, I want to see how your blogs have changed!! <br />
<br />
Well, that's all for now... We did an outfit shoot yesterday, but I'm still working on the post. It should be up soon, so stay tuned! Also, I'm working on commenting back and thanks for voting. If you haven't yet voted, do so <a href="http://deardearcloset.blogspot.com/2010/04/oh-hello-saturday.html">here</a>!

<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=102_1010.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/102_1010.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Another of Pablo and I's adventures :D</span><br />
First, we went rock-climbing! It was our first time and a lot of fun! It was hard and sweaty, too. LOL. I mastered the easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy wall. The beginner's one, haha, but that's as far as I got. There's this one other wall I kept trying to master, but couldn't! Maybe next time ;)<br />
<br />
Even though I know I can't <i>fall fall</i>, I <b>refuse</b> to look down. Because I know if I do, I won't be able to go any farther. Like, I can climb and climb and not really know how high I am, but once I know...oh my. Lol.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=102_1019.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/102_1019.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Afterward, we went to 59 Diner (our first time there, too) and <b>yum yum</b>. I had french toast with bacon slices. :P<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=102_1018.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/102_1018.jpg" /></a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Anyway</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">A real (and decent) outfit post is long overdue. Sorry to keep you waiting :/ </span><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=102_1016.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/102_1016.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
I <b>know</b> I just wore these tights, <b>but</b> <a href="http://deardearcloset.blogspot.com/2010/04/you-live-and-you-learn.html">last time</a> I wore them on a whim-->I had been wearing my black sheer tights, but, as the temperature got higher throughout the day, I looked to these diamond fishnet tights for a little more room to breathe. Todayyy, I created my outfit <i>around</i> them. :) <i>Because I know you care about all this</i>. LOL<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=102_1015.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/102_1015.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
By the way, yes, I changed into jeans to go rock-climbing...but I think next time I'll opt for my leggings ;)<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=102_1020.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/102_1020.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
Also, lately I have been having a bad-hair day. Everyday. -_- I guess I need to stop air-drying my hair and go back to blow-drying it. Blah.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=Photo0327.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/Photo0327.jpg" /></a> <br />
<br />
So, did today's outfit seem familiar to you? Did it, huh? It looks like it's just a reincarnation of <a href="http://deardearcloset.blogspot.com/2010/03/hey-guys-its-been-while-thank-you-so.html">this one</a>. :D So...which one do you like better? Vote!<br />

I wore jeans today! I <b>rarely</b> wear jeans. But, today I did, and everybody kept <i>complimenting</i> me. Yeah, you heard right. Complimenting. First, they looked at me in surprise, said something like "<i>Omgosh, you're not wearing a skirt," </i>then proceeded to tell me they liked me better that way. Personally, I prefer skirts and dresses and tights. Jeans don't flatter me and I always lose my creativity as soon as I pull a pair on. Sooo, I really don't know what everybody else sees. Even Pablo said he likes me better in jeans, tees, and my Chucks.<br />
<br />
O.o<br />

Blurry shot, haha. I was in Pablo's backyard on a swinging bench. And, I was pretty much bored while he was playing around with his brother. LOL.<br />
<br />

<br />
My Chucks. I love these shoes so much, but I hardly wear them either. Anyway, no real outfit post because <b>I was wearing jeans</b>. But, Pablo and I have a planned shoot for tomorrow, so stick around ;)Erikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12736525890672171462noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341283939980621248.post-779652768149701612010-04-21T06:27:00.004-05:002010-04-21T07:11:48.442-05:00You live and you learn.<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=DSCN2239.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/DSCN2239.jpg" /></a><br />

<br />
What I learned <i>yesterday</i>:<br />
1. I don't photograph well with my hair in a ponytail.<br />
2. Photographing in the dark is not the <i>brightest </i>idea...hahaha total pun intended :P<br />
3. Get some sleep before a shoot, or at least use makeup to cover bags under my eyes >.< <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">You live and you learn.</span> <br />
<br />
Anyway, I fell for this dress the moment I saw it at F21, but it fit too big on me. When it went on sale, I decided to get it anyway...the first time I wore it I threw a tee on top of it to give it a skirt effect, but yesterday I just put a vest over it to make it look fitted :)<br />
<br />
I was wearing black sheer tights during the day, but it got much warmer so I changed into these diamond fishnet tights.<br />
<br />
<u><b>What I was wearing:</b></u><br />
Silver dress: F21<br />
Black denim vest: Wet Seal<br />
Black tube top: F21<br />
Black diamond fishnet tights: 579<br />
Black ankle strap flats: Mexico<br />
Gold owl necklace: F21 <br />
Gold braided headband: F21<br />

This weekend has been a good one indeed. Yesterday, Pablo and I spent the beginning of our day (and majority) at my little sister's birthday party. The best part about it? The candy bags filled with yummy tamarindos...Mexican candy, that is :) <b>And what's even better is we have access to all the leftover candy bags...booyah! </b><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Not really an outfit to write home about, but this is what I wore yesterday. I've been wearing this denim vest over just about everything; I don't know if it worked well with this dress, but oh welllll. </span><br />

Anyway, Pablo and I's next adventure was at a local Laos temple for the new year. It was packeddd and there was good food :P and just fun in general :) After that, we headed over to our friends' house for a movie and a lateee-night dinner. Thennn, Pablo and I came home and stayed up all night on YouTube. Hahaha. <br />

Yesterday was a pretty successful day. (Lots of shopping = success.) My sister and I hit some thrift shops downtown. We had never really been to them before, so it was all pretty experimental. Overall, they were <i>aight</i>. And, since we stopped at Buffalo Exchange first (my first time <b>ever</b> being there, btw), we kept comparing all the others to BE and they didn't compare. Most were too pricey for too little.<br />
<br />
About my introductory experience with Buffalo Exchange...I loved it! The prices are pretty high (for a kid on a budget), but it's understandable since their clothes are fashion forward, brand name, in good condition, etc. It's just since it's a resale shop, I assumed they would be lower. I liked it though and would LOVE to go back, just with a little more money in my pocket.<br />
<br />
I saw some lovely floral glasses that I wanted, but didn't end up getting. I figure I can probably get them cheaper at F21. But, realistically, I shouldn't even bother since I wear prescribed glasses 8)<br />
<br />
At the end of the trip, I ended up with some new wedges from Buffalo Exchange (originally from Target). They are <b><i>fabulous</i></b> and I can't wait to show them off! We also stopped by a Goodwill and I got some green knee high socks and a floral scarf that matches.<br />
<br />
Later, Pablo and I made a quick stop at the mall to make a return. We stopped by Payless and Pablo shot this video of me shopping. I'm so indecisive, I picked up so many different shoes and didn't even end up buying any! Haha. <b>Story of my life.</b><br />
<br />
And Pablo being impatient, also story of my life. Lol..<br />
<br />
I completely forgot about him shooting, and I figured he would delete it since it's a pretty pointless video, but he didn't. I watched it for the first time today and was like <i>hahaha</i> <i>I picked up so many shoes...I'm gonna post it on my blog!</i> So, enjoy!<br />
<br />
Video outfit post, perhaps? ;)<br />
Everything I'm wearing is F21. Typical.<br />

I just watched it again and am thinking I should've gotten those gray pointy flats! Also, notice how I am <b>easily</b> <b>distracted</b>..Erikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12736525890672171462noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341283939980621248.post-29276467249651693762010-04-09T20:41:00.004-05:002010-04-10T02:04:41.524-05:00Liar, liar...Yep, my pants are on fire. And, my nose grew a little more today. (Good excuse, right?) Aha, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, you didn't read <a href="http://deardearcloset.blogspot.com/2010/04/over-my-head.html">my 2nd to last post</a>! Anyway, I kinda said I was gonna wear something that I didn't. It happens. I woke up earlier than I had planned or even expected. Mom was rushing me to get dressed so we could go have lunch. (Yep, I woke up at lunch time. Ahem, I was forced to wake up at lunchtime. Lol.) Well, I thought, <i>"Good thing I planned an outfit."</i> <span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">But,</span> <span style="font-size: small;">(yep, there's always a but...) I didn't quite plan what shoes I was going to wear. </span></span>I thought I was going to have more time to decide that. But, I didn't. And my sister's boots are at her boyfriend's place. And, I didn't like any of my other choices. Sooo...I wore something completely different. You see, I didn't lie on purpose...it's a little too late for an April's Fool joke, I think ;)<br />

<br />
By the way, I had some tasty cheese enchiladas, rice, and beans for lunch. :D With the always amazing tortilla chips as an appetizer.<br />
<br />

<br />
Anyway, today Pablo took me to an old abandoned area. It looked just like a neighborhood, but without houses. And lots and lots of trees. Lol...I mean, there were streets and <b>old</b> STOP signs and dead ends, but no houses! Just lots of wood and plants.<br />
<br />

<br />
It was a lot of fun! These shoots are always fun :) And today, I told Pablo I didn't mind if we took my photos out in my yard, but he said, no, he likes to be creative. Aww...I love my boyfriend :D <br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=DSCN5712-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/DSCN5712-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=DSCN5713.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/DSCN5713.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=DSCN5716.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/DSCN5716.jpg" /></a> <br />
<br />
The shoot was also scary though. You see, Pablo likes to "check" the ground before he lets me step on it. (OK, that sounds really snobbish...LOL.) What I mean is...he steps through the overgrown grass to check for ant piles and all kinds of other nasty things...like snakes! Yep, today Pablo decided to say, "Let me check and make sure there's no snakes." You should have seen my face after that. Then, he kept saying <i>stop being scared</i> when he was the one who got me scared in the first place! Lol<br />
<br />
Hence, I take a lot of piggy rides on these photo shoots ;) <br />
<br />
Oh yes, what one does for photos. Haha..<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=DSCN5717.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/DSCN5717.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/?action=view&current=DSCN5718.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i882.photobucket.com/albums/ac27/erikammoreno/DSCN5718.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
I hope you guys don't think I treat Pablo bad, forcing him to take my pictures and carry me through overgrown grass. Psst...I gave him a massage before the shoot ;)<br />
<br />
Lol, I hope to hear from you guys! It always makes me happy :D Hope you're havin' one heck of a Fantastic Friday! <3<br />
