That's Just Me // Daily Outfit

Last month my blog celebrated it's two year blog-o-versary. Once again I had some really cool stuff planned, but just never got around to it (I'm still hoping to do a giveaway in the near future, so keep your eyes peeled for that!). I'm not sure why I never really have a big hoo-ha over my blog birthdays. Blogging has become such a huge part of my life - it's become part of me.

I was looking over my archvies a few days ago, and there are parts I shudder to read. I was such a child when I started writing this blog. So immature. But at the same time I am totally ok with that stuff being out in the world because that's who I was at the time!

I dunno... I've lost several friends in the past year and (surprisingly!) I'm ok with it. I guess this needed to happen. I'm looking at life - and myself - very differently. I don't want to need any person so badly that I'm totally and completely emotionally unstable anytime they're gone for a few days. I've been that way for a couple years, and sometimes I can't help but wonder if it really was me, or if somehow it them rubbing off on me? Needing me to need them. Either way, that's not who I am anymore. I've grown and matured and I need friends that can respect that. I'd rather have no really close friends, than confide in and trust people that don't respect or accept me.

I'm not a little girl anymore. (Speaking of, did anyone see the Teen Vogue reader look of the day feature I linked to on Twitter Tuesday night? I totally did a double take when they referred to me as a "nineteen year old" it just seemed so old - and yet so young!)

On a totally other subject I feel like this outfit had really good potential but just missed the mark. Anyone out there feel the same? :-/

La La Land // Daily Outfit

No, the title of this post has nothing to do with those Lalaloopsy dolls (although, now that I think of it, this outfit does slightly resemble something they would wear...). It's the title of one of my favorite songs by Demi Lovato, and whenever I wear a leather jacket I always think of her, since she was a huge style icon for me when she was working with Disney. (Am I the only one who misses Sonny with a Chance??) I still draw inspiration from her style back then.

Speaking of stylish ladies, I actually bought this dress for the lovely Kaelah of Little Chief Honeybee. I fell in love with it the minute I saw it on her Instagram closet sale and I am so glad I snapped it up! It fits like a dream and is the most perfect party dress ever - and I just love how awesome it looks with my matching Lita knock offs! I wore this outfit when I went shopping with my girl friend, Emily and her boy friend and I got so many compliments on my shoes/outfit. One really nice employee at TopShop even told me that "the Litas made the outfit." Is it vain of me to love getting compliments on my outfit when I go out? I just love putting together outfits so much! Someday I want to own my own indie clothing boutique where I'll sell gorgeous party dresses and serve tea all day long. ♥
