Oh Target Shoppers...

Just talked to a guy in line about smoking and drinking. He was upset that Target's policy is to swipe an ID or if you don't want to do that, you put in their birthdate and a team lead approves it.

"What a stupid system," he said
"Well at least it keeps underage kids from buying alcohol," I chime in.

Than he goes on to talk about how if kids want things, they will find a way. He grew up in Europe and smoked his first cigarette at 9 that he stole from his father's shop and started to drink at 12. I didn't say anything, but am slightly appalled. Though he looks 50 or 60 so that was a different era not to mention continent (hence only slightly appalled).
And then he asks the age for drinking here (in America).

"It's 18, right?"
"Nope. 21 to drink. 18 is for smoking and lotto cards. 21 for drinking and purchasing alcohol and gambling in Vegas," I say with a smile because I do not agree with him.

I being only 20 myself, think the drinking at 21 is a good law because we are still young and uneducated about life when we are 18 (well, most of us). I never have drank much at all and have yet to become drunk.

Anyway, I got the feeling he was an alcoholic because why else would you be buying at 12 of Corona at 10:30 at night? If it were a party, I feel he would have gotten more or hard liqueur. Not to mention his scraggly appearance and grumpy personality did not look party ready.

Or maybe he's just European.

Yesterday...

Had an interview for Kinder's.
Don't tell Target!

I felt like a working mama. :)

OOTD: Day and Evening :)

My previous post indicated how this outfit helped me decided for sure to be a fashion major.

I was skepticle this morning before I left about the skirt. No idea why. I love the contrast of the tulle and the denim. :)

Finally got to wear these!! I've had them for almost a year and just haven't gone out in the right outfit. Or I chickend out. ;c But not today! It was amazing. :DDDD

------------------------------

I got Stella another fashion collar, too. :) It matches my Colorful Hearts dress.

---------------------------------

And for tonight, we are having a mini birthday LAN for Zach and shorts seemed like a better decison.

And I REALLY want to wear my Halifax shirt =3=;;;.

I feel super awesome, though. The shirt fits perfectly with the outfit.

I threw on the new shoes as well and some more bracelets.

SHAZAM.

Best 4/20 evarh. c:

THRIFTINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Had some errands to run today and decided

"WHY THE HELL NOT? THRIFING TIME!!!"

This was mostly inspired because of the outfit from today (will be next post). Long story short, someone told me my outfit was very cute and asked if there was a special occation. My response?

"Naw. I'm a fashion major so it's always like this. <chuckle>"

Yeahhhhh

So in the car, I was super happy to have delicious Jamba and to have finally decided to be a fashion majorerrrr. I just kept shouting

"I'M A FASHION MAJOR. NO REALLY. FOR CEREAL. I'M A FASHION MAJOR.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY."

Anywaho, the Goodwill (right next door to Salvation Army) is usually more expensive and doesn't have as good of a selection. So after I popped into the Goodwill, I went the the Salvation Army and found these goodies. :)

There was an extra sale today so everything was $11.50!!!

My plans for this one are to make it a shorter skirt. I have a fun idea for it. ;)

$5.99 $3 !

------------------------------------

Saw the white one at the last second. So cute! And the 'Halifax' shirt. OH GOD I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

I almost wasn't able to fit my head though the hole <snicker>. But it's just so awesome.

I was very much in a Japanese-Fashion state of mind today. =3=

Both shirts $1.99 $1 each!

--------------------------------------

I've been wanting manly shoes!

$6 $3 !

---------------------------------

I already own this dress in pink. Unfortunaly, I paid full price several years ago.

But I was surprised to see it in the Salvation Army because this dress is at least 3 years old!

And it's my size. :) Love those odds.

$6.99 $3.50 !

Denim Shirt DIY: SUPER EASY, BRO.

This is what I did instead of dying my hair magical colors, BTW.

So I bought this second hand from a girl maybe two years ago. Yeah, that sounds right. To be honest, no idea why I got it. I was never a fan of denim anything but jeans. For whatever reason, I got it though and now I'm very happy I did! Saw a tweet earlier about denim being super popular in Japan right now so when I got home I was like; "HEY. SEWING MACHINE. YOU'VE BEEN SITTING ON MY FLOOR STUBBING MY TOES FOR HELLA DAYS. TIME TO PUT YOU TO WORK."
So I did. And here's a mini tutorial on what I did. :)
GET INSPIRED, PEOPLE.

For starters; Sorry but phone cam pics it is!

So first, get an ugly/boring denim top. Yay...

--------------------------------------

Measure out the length of lace you want. I had less than I thought so I didn't go all the way up and down. But I like it that way anyways. :)

NOW PIN THAT SHIT.

No- NOT YOUR FINGERS.

OUCH. DAMN IT. 8 Bloody times?! Really?

---------------------------------

And if you're Stella, you get mad that your mama can't play right now and attack her stinky work shoe instead.

Probably smells like coffee and broken dreams...

-----------------------------------

Prep your sewing machine!

This can also be done by hand sewing, but I didn't feel like pinning myself THAT much.

-----------------------------------

Now I'm being Stella and got distracted. My attention span battles that of a goldfish.

------------------------------------

Start sewing! Yay!

I was a dumbass and put it practically on top of the buttons.

CRAP.

Luckily, I was able to just pushed them aside so they were not crushed by the foot or had to be removed. @A@;;

PHEW.

----------------------------------

Yay! But It still needed more...

So I added some to the collar. c:

But still, MOAR.

--------------------------------

Even though I wanted to keep this on the plain side so I can mix and match is more

(had to resist the VERY, VERRRRY strong urges to put BOWS)

it still felt like it needed something. So pearl beads! YAYAYAYAAYAYYAYYAYAYAY

(those were hand sewn on)

As you can see, I just rolled up the sleeves. I was going to cut them off, but decided not to because I want to be able to wear it as a extra layer and not just a spring/summer shirt.

AND SHAZAHM. You're done! That was easy, right?

Oh, you went over the top and sewed your shirt and didn't just upcycle?

GET OUT.

----------------------------------

6 am Start

Was woken up at 6 by Target because the opener called out. I asked Stella if I should say I can come in early and she said yes.
So now I'm exhausted.
Working on a day that there is a call out is so difficult. It's a battle. The LOD's hardly give two shits, let alone one, so you're left trying to float on your own. Thankfully, today was better than some.
I got off at 3:30 and feel pretty tired. Going to try and take a nap and then play some WoW with Jakeums. :)

Jake's dad had gotten Panda earlier and I've been craving it so I lucked out with that one. Jake is mowing the lawn but his dad is out there too so it would be weird for me to just sit out there and watch him. I love watching him work. ;) Especially since it's warm out and he will probably end up taking off his shirt.
<3 <3 <3 <3 :-)))))))))))))

Stella misses my soulmate, too. <3

I Love My Baby!

Lolita Day :)

This is the first official dress I ever got. So it holds a special place in my lacy heart. <3

Happy Easter :)

This is what I'm wearing.
I am IN LOVE with this dress.
It's by Angelic Pretty and is called the Colorful Hearts One Piece. Not sure when it was released, but at least a year or two ago. :)

My Mom Spoils Me

She bought me new shoes as an early Easter present. :) we got them at Marshal's which is awesome! I got myself a couple things but will probably return them.
But the shoes are great. :))))

Not Meaning to Sound like a Spoiled Brat,

But I reaaaaallly love my iPhone. LYKE, A LOT.
It's so handy and simple. I had an Android at one point, but just am an iPhone person. Maybe it's because my Droid was glitchy. As much as I love the complete customizability of a Droid, I love the simpleness of an iPhone. That includes its simple looks. :)

Is my baby's birthday.
She is 2. :3

Happy Birthday, Stellaluna!
MOMMA AND PAPA LOVES YOU!

FINALLY.

I've been CRAVING this since yesterday! It tastes soooo good. -3-

Iced chai with half nonfat milk and half soy. In weird, I know. But I wanted to try it like that because I need the nonfat (because I have too many of theses!) but still wants the vanilla soy flavor.
I feel it was a success. :)

Jean Paul Gaultier Exhibit

First off, sorry about the quality. I can't find my charget for my Nikon so iPhone photo's is what it is.

These are from the Gaultier Exhibit at the de Young in San Francisco; my favorite park in SF. It's in the same park as the Japanese Tea Gardens. Me, pretending that I'm going to be majoring in fashion LOVED THIS. I LOVED how unique and fearless he is! Granted, most of the outfits I was not crazy about, but I loved his ambitions and how he made what he saw fit and not what society wanted and such. And he has said a lot of amazing quotes. I'm going to put a bunch of them on my dream board/wall.

And that night I dressed up in a strapless, fitted white dress with tall zebra print heels, hot pink lace socks, a drop necklace (down the back) and a braclet - both gold and I made! - with a smal black sweater for warmth. :) Because my mom can be so critical about my outfits, the whole time I was getting ready all I could think about was how to explain to her everything I knew she would find wrong in the outfit. I eventually wasn't happy with myself anymore. Even though I dyed my hair pink.

But when we got there, boy, I hate to be self centered, but I got a few looks. I don't normally get any attention like that so I am going to be a bitch and brag about it. If you don't like it, then just skip reading this part. But the only other thing I wanted to say was there were people photographing the whole thing and a couple people took my photos and also this kid who didn't look old enough to be out of high school wouldn't leave me a long for a bit. I mean, I'm flattered he wanted to hit on me, but I'm happily taken and he couldn't take a hit. I knew I should have worn the ring I bought myself. It usually works. I feel really bad becasue I had to resort to pretty much ignoring him. Oh well, I hope he doesn't hate me too much.

I think my punishmet for that was my feet were killing me. I literally couldn't feel all of my toes for 2 days. They were numb like when you sleep on your arm wrong. But all is better now, thankfully. I've never worn heels for so long. But I loved every second of it!

I hope if the show is near you, you get a chance to see it. It really was quite awesome and inspiring.
