Mondays are so depressing....at least for me. I've just had a wonderful weekend and now its gone!! Just like all vacations...
Ok, moving on...!!
My sister got her prom dress Saturday!! Before I get into details of the dress, I want to share a little story:
"Hey mom, do you think Mariah could wear that dress on the mannequin to prom?", I asked her curiously. "Sure", She replied, "Have her try it on!" Mariah was using the restroom at the time, so I waited for her to get out before I got it of the stand. Before I knew it, another lady was taking the beautiful dress and trying it on. hmph! I thought to myself. I carefully stalked the lady - watched her as she looked in the mirror - I knew she loved the dress but she didn't know if she wanted to buy it. That was Mariah's dress. It was perfect for her. Thankfully the lady did not buy the dress and returned it to the front desk. I pulled Mariah over and showed her the dress - of course, she loved it!!! Since Mariah is oober shy I went up to the desk and asked the ladies for the dress. I made Mariah try it on and come out of her dressing room. Mariah hardly ever comes out of her dressing room to show anyone - but this was really cute and I needed all the support I could get from fellow customers, staff and family(so they would encourage her to purchse it). After much consideration, Mariah bought the dress.....for only $16!! She was really happy!! Every so often she tries the dress on and dances around - she is so excited about prom!!! I am going to do her makeup and help her find accessories! I cant wait!!!
Sorry the pics aren't great - she didn't like me taking pics....
Oh, and the shoes - well those are mine (just for fun) she is practicing wearing high heels, she has never worn them before! Oh, and i have to mention this - isn't she gorgeous?!!?(her legs are so long)I love her so much!!! I just feel really bad for her sometimes because she spends 90% of her time doing school and the rest of the 10% is drivers ED studying and going to church(wed. nights and sun. mornings) At last, she gets to have the night of her life - prom! She cannot wait!! I think i mentioned this earlier but when she gets fed up with school she will put on her heels and her dress and practice walking and dancing!! she is so excited!! she's a great sister!!
But anyway, today I'm basically off of school. You see, we were given one weeks worth of homework to do in TWO weeks - I did MOST of mine last week but I still have to finish my papers. Yes, plural. I have three papers I'm working on, which isn't to bad - we just normally one or two.
Ok, so I have bee thinking of changing my blog name - I just don't know what to change it to....I might have mentioned this in a earlier post but I don't really know what my style is. I wanted to incorperate my style in to my blog title but I don't quite know how. I like some of the stuff my friends like - their into retro and vintage. Some of its really cool, but I can't pull it off or its just not me. My family is really encouraging in this either...haha....they just wear whatever (which isn't bad) and think that I shouldn't have a 'style' or whatever. SO - I took (cause I've had a lot of time on my hands lately) a billion 'What's YOUR fashion style'? and combined them and found I'm a classy chic. AND I should dress like (or do dress like) Nicole Kidman. Her named popped up several times. So here are some pics of what I might like (according to the tests):
WOAH - I just looked her up on google images and I don't really like all of her stuff....but here are some other pics....
(above) i like the jackets and some shoes
(above) i like the boots (right) and the hats in both....the jackets on both are pretty cute
(above) this is cute...i would wear it - but its not my favorite thing
(above) I love this jacket!! or dress.....idk whatever it is its cute!
(above) this is NOT something i would wear...ugg
(above) this is NOT something i would wear...ugg
Well, the main reason I'm trying to figure out my 'style' is because I really want to 'blend' that with my blog title. But I really don't want my style to define me. I don't want people to be like, "Miriam? Oh yeah, thats the classy chic!" or me liking something but changing my mind cause its not my style. I just don't want to get caught up in all that crap....
Well, this is pretty much my update - but oh, here is a intresting fact...
This post has taken me all morning to make!! Haha, i did part of it in little sections....
Cya!

thanks Miriam!!
i dont know if Mariah likes that miriam!!!!!!
aww mariah looks gorgeous! and that dress is cute.
hmmm.. I like some of the stuff, but not the first set a bit.
The older you get the more you figure out about your style. For me I went through lots of phases before I found like I really liked. NOW i like a huge blend of styles but have discovered their all me. I suggest you looking at lots of pictures and trying to figure out what you like and don't like about each one. Look for colors that when you wear make you happy, and observe different textures and differences in clothing. Haha I donno if this helped or not but finding your own style is a HUGE process and you have to be creative and find things you feel comfortable in, (not just things you thing are cute things you actually wear) anyways!!
Love those pink shoes!!
