the month by iPhone :: December 2015

the end of the year! crazy how things changed so fast this time around. most of the month was spent getting ready for the move at the very end of the month, but then there were also some holidays in there and spending time with great friends (and having a little too much fun). of course I was also working! taking a couple weeks off of the Y for holidays really made me confused about what day it was.

perfect words of wisdom.

forgotten but not lost.

legs of steel.

sometimes this is what happens when I'm checking rooms... I thought it would make a cool image.

yes, I enjoy sitting on the floor.

Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

when your favorite Boy Scout brings you alcohol (;

made it better. gold stars forever.

dog 629 decided he had had enough.

black and grey with a touch of pink.

Bruiser the love doggie. he's so tiny that the tennis ball is too large for his mouth and he carries it by the fuzz!

Christmas present wrapping.

instead of camp planning, I ended up making 120 jingle bells for a swim meet...

mint chocolate chip cookies! I use Betty Crocker's recipe. (:

canvas details.

starting to move, with a raven skeleton.

deep dark red for Christmas.

tub resurfacing quarantine.

bringing more things to the new apartment. this was actually the second thing to go on the wall. (the first was my nevermore mirror.)

a slow Christmas shift.

 new shoesh, as Piper would say.

always only a ring away.

an important and fragile box.

when you don't have enough boxes and don't really care.

moving in a Volkswagen Beetle. fun times.

creepy yet beautiful.

sunset.

goodbye 2015. you've taught me a lot.

favorite November outfits

for a couple months, I had been documenting my daily outfits, but then I got annoyed with myself because it was just week after week of such similar outfits, so I decided to only document my favorites. a lot of them tend to be from Mondays, when I can wear whatever I want until gymnastics, and I don't have to worry about what I'm wearing to run around at the motel or with the kids.

black Gap Bowery long-sleeve v-neck tee // aerie ruched skirt // charcoal tights // black lace tights // Steve Madden Savvior leather riding boots // Beatnheart skull earrings

I usually wear these super impractical outfits to go and take photos in Door County. this outfit is so super soft though, bot the skirt and the shirt! I love Gap's Bowery line. on this Monday, I went and picked up my new glasses and sunglasses and ran some errands in Sturgeon Bay before driving up north. I ended up having lunch at Coyote Roadhouse, and then I took some more pictures up north!

Sevenly vintage camera tee // Forever 21 cardigan // American Eagle Kick Boot jeans // Gap leather belt // Converse

This was a Tuesday, I'm pretty sure, which means that I would have been working at the motel.

black Merona (Target) long-sleeve tee // Xhilaration (Target) skirt // black tights // Steve Madden Savvior leather riding boots (great pockets) // scarf (gift)

another Monday, another impractical outfit. I actually drove out to Lake Michigan and did some hiking on some Door County Land Trust property in the middle of my errands.

Merona (Target) sweater from 2014 // aerie ruched skirt // black tights // Steve Madden Savvior leather riding boots

oh look, yet another Monday! I had a dentist appointment in the morning, and then I drove up to Baileys Harbor.
