fill-in-the-blank friday {fashion}

Happy Friday!!

This is from Lauren's blog.

One fashion trend I really regret is ... I'm not really sure.  I haven't really ever followed trends.  But I refuse to wear "liquid leggings" or brightly colored skinny jeans.  I look funny in them =/

The one thing that always completes any outfit is shoes and/or funky socks.  I absolutely love my shoes, but I also love going barefoot, and over-the-knee socks look awesome when paired with the right outfit. 

I would describe my style as comfy chic.  I refuse to leave the house in sweatpants (I'm kinda OCD on that...) but I honestly consider "dressed up" as black skinny jeans and a nice top.  Or a cute trendy dress.

My fashion muse is probably Ashley Greene or Taylor Swift.  Ashley seems to always look awesome, even in some of the not-as-cute-as-they-could-be outfits for Alice, and Taylor is making dresses back in style :)

If I could own one designer piece of clothing, it would be probably some kind of shoes.  I'm not super big on designer labels, but I would like a designer pair of shoes!

I would love to raid the wardrobe of again, either Ashley Greene or Taylor Swift. Probably Ashley Greene. 

Today I am wearing my trusty dark denim skinny jeans, white ribbed tank top, olive green courdroy vest, and an oversized black cardigan. And probably ballet flats.

So, happy weekend!

I have one week of classes left -- and they're all exams.

BUT, tonight I'm going to the school bus races with my mom.

Yeah, it's a country thing.

And yes, I'll probably be writing while I'm there ;)

Music Monday and a Few Other Things...

My Music Monday this week is Hot Chelle Rae.

AKA these guys:

And they're really fricken good. 

They only have one album out, and it's been out since October, but I just heard of them yesterday.

I shouldn't be allowed to go on iTunes after 9PM if I have iTunes Cards *sigh*

But, my personal favorites are

&

Never Have I Ever

They have awesome baseline, and rocking lyrics, which is normally what I look for from this type of band. 

Now, in other news...

I'm going to start doing weekly writing check-ins.  They'll more than likely be posted on Saturday or Sunday, because that's when my free time is, most of the time.

There will be no word count, though, because I am handwriting this WIP (at least, for the first five chaps).

I seriously wrote eight pages last night.

I was up until 3AM working on it, but I just got on a roll.

And I've decided that I absolutely love my characters in this one.  Their personalities are just...

Strange.

Which is probably why I love them.

Writing

Why is it that I always get the strongest urge to write on my WIP when I'm supposed to be writing something else?

Like my Modern World Studies paper, for example.  Or my Health paper.

I'm sorry, I'd just rather let Chickyy take over my brain for a little bit than read the Roe vs. Wade case or write a fact sheet about contraceptives.

UHMMMM....

Nooooooooo thank youuuuuuuuuu.

I'll probably just stay up until three again AFTER finishing my Health and Modern World Studies "homework" like I did last night.

Speaking of which, I got a nice, strong start on ChickyLit.  Six pages total. 

That NEVER happens in one night. 

I bid you farewell, lovely blogosphere...

If you don't hear from me in two days, SEND HALP PLZ.
