Fashion According to "The Weather"

So this winter in Michigan has been the worst one in years. I honestly cannot remember a time when I was more miserable. I hate the cold weather, and as soon as I graduate, I'll be moving somewhere warm. Hopefully Georgia.

But, until then, I have to put up with the ridiculously cold weather here, and it is really taking its toll on my choice of clothing. In the summer, I can wear whatever shoes I want, whatever dresses I want, and I don't have to worry about bringing my coat with me. In the winter, all I want to do is throw on a pair of sweatpants and a sweatshirt and attempt to keep warm throughout the day. This is especially hard since I work in an office building and I have to wear dress pants to work. It has gotten to the point that I wear leggings under my pants every day and I keep a blanket at my desk.

I am really going to try hard for the rest of the chilly months to bring back my style. I shall start this coming week. My university is on spring break, so I should have plenty of time to get my life in order. I'll be cleaning my apartment, catching up on homework, and planning some new outfits out! I honestly can't wait.

Maybe I'll be able to find some time for reading, too. My bookshelf at home has three shelves, and the entire top shelf is composed of books that I have yet to read. Every time I pass it, I feel guilty. I just keep buying books without having any time to read them. I don't even have time to read books for my classes, I don't know why I always think that I'm going to have time to read books personally.

Anyways, those are my two goals over spring break. I want to begin to wear cute clothes again (without freezing to death) and read at least one book. I was thinking that I would start with I Am Malala; it's supposed to be really good!

I'll keep you updated on my progress, and I'll begin posting some videos soon!


With Love,

Hayley :)

I'll consider this my "before" picture. What's really sad is that this has been an average day for me in terms of style and makeup....

Third blog, First Post :)

So, my last two blogs didn't go so well. Not that they were bad, but the first one basically became a giant rant and the second one just couldn't hold my attention long enough for me to really get into it. I swear this one will be different! It is going to mean something to me.

I have been wanting to really get into a blog for a while now. But every time I think about starting one up, I just think about how busy I am and I decide to wait until things have slowed down a little bit. I realized last week, though, that things are not looking like they are going to slow down until I turn 30. So, I decided to just do it.

If you're at all wondering about what this blog is doing to be about, it will basically be about my life. I love fashion, makeup, food, and so many other things, and I plan on blogging about all of them. I can't wait to make some videos this time around! I have a good 40 dresses, and I want to showcase them along with some of my favorite accessories to wear them with. I also hope to try out some new crafts (and show how well I did with them, if they were successes at all) and hair and makeup tricks! I am absolutely in love with old fashioned styles, and I try to make my outfits as retro-looking as possible. I hope to share all of my knowledge about my favorite things with all of you, and I hope to get some ideas back, too! Tune in soon :)
