She Used To Tie Her Hair in Ribbons & Bows

by Kristina on April 30, 2010 · 30 comments

{ wearing a tulle skirt in public isn't as scary as you might think! }



What I’m Wearing

  • Top: Bebe
  • Shoes: Cirque by Joan & David (quite possibly the comfiest heels I own!)
  • Bow clips, tulle skirt, fingerless lace gloves: Forever 21
  • Shimmer hose: Calvin Klein
  • Rings & cross necklace: Charming Charlie’s? (it’s been years since I’ve worn them!)

{ the necklace-as-an-anklet idea works better in theory }

{ a portrait only a boyfriend could take }

I feel like I’ve been running around like a chicken with its head cut off – somehow have managed to complete 9 of the 13 tests that stand between me and summer. Today I’ll be taking a whopper of a final and my knees are knockin’ just thinking about it.

In between the craziness and studying, HB took some outfit photos of me because:
(a) it makes me feel better, and
(b) glamour magazine’s website glamour.com wanted them. (!!!)
Here’s hoping they’ll use some of my photos!

It’s my birthday tomorrow – I’ll be posting something tomorrow morning for fun so be sure to come swing by after your Saturday morning coffee. If I don’t see you, have yourself a wonderful weekend!

Trivia question: Can you (without Googling it) finish the line of the song that this post’s title is quoting? If you can – kudos, you’re probably a Southerner!

The social bar above is my tip jar. Pin, Like, and Tweet if you please!

Love, Kristina

Signed her letters with X's and O's. Trisha Yearwood! The gal moving to Chicago won't have to worry about keeping her Southern-ness, because I'm from Chi and I still know country music.
