Traded in the puppy t's for some sweaters

The transition between winter and spring is awkward. Like puberty, you never know what to wear, do, or shave. It's true. Talking about the big Motha Effer Nature, this transition should have happened ages ago so shout out to global warming. Have you ever seen the Ice Age movies? They are number one on my shit list, just saying. Even in the hot days of August (my birthday - same as my man POTUS), I find myself dressed like a goth from head to toe. Days I'm not goth, I'm a white pony. Completely unintentional. Living the good life.

Hat: Etsy Shop ($15)
Top: Old Navy
Bottom: PacSun
Shoes: Old Navy
Rings: Old Navy

I basically used to be a huge hater of everything Old Navy. Sureeeee growing up they had american flag shirts (great for Murican Holidays and to sport in the summer while eating a firecracker popsicle), and also shirts with dogs and cats on them. During middle school, you would be  judged in a middle school-y way when wearing old navy and gap, so we switched over to short shorts and overly revealing tops when we had 0 cleavyyy. Now that I'm an aspiring 20-something-to-be (dat good good life), I chose the more adult look. Sadly, Old Navy no longer sells shirts with screen printed puppies... would have been great for a theme party! I went in there, wanting to buy everything the other day. Luckily, I learned the ways to shop via my parents, and hit the clearance racks first. Sure it's the awkward period between winter and spring BUT YOU CAN WEAR WHATEVER YOU WOULD LIKE...WHEN YOU LIKE. Because I said so and you know so. I found the cream colored sweater (that also comes in navy) for 11.99. And those boots? Yep, those bad boys too! I've been wearing those shoes since, so just shy of a week. Easy to slip into, even more stylish. And those rings? How in the damn world could I have turned down those bad boys...for $2.99? You tell me the answer to that. If you say you could, you are wrong.

I ordered my monogram hat during the summer, FOR ONLY $15 (Etsy is a lifesaver..suck on that Marley Lilly), and can wear it with anything - like in a photoshoot for my blog. Did I mention I had to pay my brother 20 (he says 25) just to take my pictures that day? I thought sibilings got along and shouldn't have to be bribed c/o dat cash money.

When I'm not being a Kylie Jenner wanna-be, I channel my inner mommy blogger and hit up Old Navy. Ya know, similar trends and all. 

Not a fashion blogger (PART 2)

Here's the second edition of Sunshiney Rach: Not a fashion blogger. Truly the only things preventing me from being A+ at that job is the following: a boyfriend (friend, even) to constantly take my picture, being stuck with a crappy camera and a self timer, LIVING IN A WARM PLACE (because too much snow on the ground to want to go out to take pictures in).  Basically, what I'm saying is I need a boyfriend, stat. Ok maybe not, I enjoy not having to rely on others for my happiness.

With that being said, I'm CRAVING spring. Like seriously craving. I also want to inform you I broke up with Mr. Groundhog so that's probably why you can figure we had a bunch more weeks of snow. I know I know, send your hate mail right this way:

For all you stalkers, you know where to find me.  So with the help of my awesome camera I got for hannukah freshman year of high school(?, seriously gd bless this baby), I took some awesome (or not so awesome) shots with my AMAZING watch c/o Arvowear.

I got this little valentine because of a twitter contest, that Arvo occasionally does! Actually, I first found out about Arvo through a giveaway on a fashion blog and once I saw Mr. Time Sawyer...well...you know what they say....be still, my heart. The sad part is, I thought Demi Lovato came up with that phrase for the song I always jam to in my car rides to and fro (NEON LIGHTS!!!!)

LIKE NEON LIIIIIGHTS....Ok. sorry. It's now stuck in my head. Demi 2, Rachel 0. Clearly we can tell I'm not a fashion model because of the carpet to wall ratio in the background of the left photo. And on the right? Well I tried showing off my watch so it was like a "yo-ho" type of pose.

And fashion bloggers do this type of shenans, so here it goes:
Shirt: Tj Maxx
Pants: Forever 21 (Last spring)
Sandals: DSW
Watch: Arvowear (le duh).

All in all, let's put our PJ's on right, keep the spoons in the kitchen, and don't do a weird dance that you think mother nature will approve of. Trust me, she's laughing at you, too.

So mother nature tell me what it's going to be take your pick. Let one of us go: me or him the terrible snow? PICK HIM. I'M TOO PRETTY TO GO.

XO,
