All You Need Is Love

Hey guys! Thanks for all your support and comments! They're always a pick me up!
It's definitely starting to feel like fall. It's been getting a bit chilly lately. But I love layering and wearing my boyfriend blazers and favorite jackets, so I have no complaints just yet. Something about cool weather makes me want to bake. I've made homemade sugar cookies and snickerdoodles twice this week. I feel like a grandmother. Haha. Especially when I made the sugar cookies from my own grandmother's famous recipe. If I wouldn't have ran outta butter earlier today, I'd be swimming in oatmeal cookies too! Lol.



I was going to post this earlier, but while editing, my power kept going out for some unexplained reason. It shut off the family desktop I always use to edit my photos twice before I got irritated and gave up, hah. I took these at sunset so the lighting isn't the best. I kept getting a little freaked out hanging in that tall grass. Things kept moving under the grass and I don't even want to know what was hiding under there!



I love this burgundy dress. I think it's the first piece of clothing I've ever owned in that color. I don't normally pair pink with any red shade (seems too Valentine's Day to me), but I liked the dusty pink color of the scarf and the burgundy dress together.



Gosh, I hate when people watch me when I'm trying to take pictures! I took these in a corner of my very large front yard in the area my family calls "the field," cause the grass is long and my dad can't even get his John Deer through it. My neighbors were apparently watching me for a while before they decided to come outside on their porch and act like they were casually sitting there staring into my yard. That always makes outfit shoots even more awkward!



On another note, I think my family has collected a new pet. We recently had this deer move onto our land. My dad has fallen in love with it already, haha. It likes to hang out by my bedroom window and he constantly comes in my room and reminds me to look at it, hahaha. He thinks it's amazing.

Before I took these outfit pictures, I was walking around my yard looking for a good place to take photos. I was walking through some tall grass and trees while looking down at my camera deleting pictures and freeing up space on my camera memory, when all of a sudden something big jumped and hopped out of the grass in front of me. I looked up and it was the deer! I almost had a heart attack. I wasn't expecting that AT ALL. Haha.

More soon! Have a great Friday night everyone!!

XOXO,
Courtney

The Leaves Are Falling

Sorry I haven't been around much. My world has been spun around and flipped upside down lately. I've been having a hell of a time with school and my financial aid. It's been so stressful and exhausting. I might have to cut my schooling short or take a break for a while cause nothing is working out.



I've never done an outfit shoot where I'm sitting in each picture. I couldn't find a background anywhere so I stuck with the grass. So much green makes it hard to edit the photos though! I couldn't get the right color effect I wanted. Oh, well!
I love the look of the colorful leaves on the ground. My dad goes crazy trying to constantly get rid of them. I liked the long grass and the leaves so I had to hurry and take pictures before he mowed and used his trusty leaf blower. Lol.





I did some online fall shopping last week. Spent all my budget at Forever 21. I definitely prefer online shopping vs going to the mall. When you shop online, you can take your time, compare prices, search through all the stock, and you don't have to wait in long lines. I bought a bunch of dresses for like $11 and $13, patterned tights, leggings, scarves, and tons of accessories. I got quite a bit of earrings and hair bows/clips for $1.50! You'll see all of it in outfit posts in the future.



Everything I'm wearing is from Forever 21, besides the thrifted belt and boots (Look at the bottom of the post for details and prices). I've been searching and searching for some boots like theses for I don't even know how long. I found them at Value Village during their Labor Day sale for 50% off. They are half a size too small for my feet, but I bought them anyways. I do this A LOT. Lol. (I always buy flats half a size smaller cause I like them tighter on my feet and not sloppy.) I believe in the saying, "Pain is beauty." Lol. They were quite snug, but after cleaning them up, I took the insoles out and replaced them with some thinner ones I had and they fit MUCH better. I can actually wear them without my toes going numb! Haha.

I got pretty lucky finding the belt that same day. I was able to match the boots with leather belt colors and this one is an exact match. I like having a belt to match with my shoes. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to making colors in an outfit flow. Lol.

Well, I'm dead. Have a great Thursday all!!!

XOXO,
Courtney
