See those fists? They're ready to defend my stance. Why do I wear this mini? "Because I can!" Someone once tried to tell me that I couldn't wear it and it didn't go so well.

Andres was a little boy who loved playing games and was motivated by them during our group time. He enjoyed his friends at school and preferred when we got pineapple for snack. He liked picking books for me to read to him, the ones in Spanish were his favorite.
I will hold him in my heart dearly.

I'm not too sure about the appropriateness of this skirt for work, but I couldn't resist from wearing it any longer. I guess I pulled it off alright since I got a couple of compliments :) I did feel way cute in it. My booties are also new! I have been wanting a pair of booties like these, with a blunt thick wedge, and finally found them for a steal! Not that they're outrageously expensive to begin with, but these days money is tight.

This is my brand new Betsey Johnson dress, thrifted for $6.99! I felt like the luckiest girl in the world when I saw it hanging on that rack, and even more so when I tried it on and it fit! The excitement was short lived however, when a couple of days later as I was hand washing the dress I discovered a security ink tag attached to the bottom of it. With all my excitement I missed noticing the security tag when I tried it on :( There was no point taking it back to the thrift store, I knew they didn't have the machine to remove it. I decided to take it to a retail store and politely ask them to remove the ink tag off my dress. You can imagine the looks I got and the many questions that followed. I left very insulted. Then I decided to Google "how to remove an ink security tag" and Voila! an innocent girl with the skills of a criminal in a fabulous Betsey Johnson dress.

Summer break is over, the kids are back to school and that means I'm back to work. Like in the rest of my life, there were also some changes at work over the summer. I will no longer be in the schools, instead I will be housed at the administrator building. Too bad this change didn't come with a raise :( I do however like my new little home. TV makes working at a cubicle seem so sad, but I am actually really enjoying it. I love my neighbors, I'm not too sure about the one who put that plastic plant up there though. I'm also excited about making this little cubicle my own with hip office supplies and pictures :D I'm very tempted to come in early one morning and re-enact that scene of the Matrix where Neo runs from cubicle to cubicle. I did arrive a little extra early today, but it was only to take these pictures.

It was a lovely Sunday with my family, not even the tare on my pants I got pedaling around on a Deuce Coupe was able to ruin the day. I had actually just taken these out of my clothes swap pile to wear one last time. However, since my dad complimented me on my outfit I have decided to keep the top. My dad has rarely complimented me on my clothes or things of that nature, only on "important" things like academics and accomplishments, so he must have really been impressed. I don't take his lack of attention to detail personally, he's a hard working Mexican man whit a biography I'm sure could make a best seller.

This dress was another thrift store find. When I first saw it the long length and the shade of blue reminded me of the Cinderella dress. I really felt like Cinderella when I was shortening it (the scene where she and the animals are sewing her ballgown). It was my first shortening/hemming job, so I was a little nervous to do it myself, specially because of the pleats and because I was gonna be sewing it by hand, but it turned out pretty good. My success has inspired me to purchase a sewing machine, hopefully soon I'll be wearing more personalized garments.

Another one of my thrift store jackpot dresses. It's 100% silk, very light and cool. I love the Japanese flare pattern, I felt like I was wearing a modern day kimono. I wore it the morning before going camping. I had to run some errands downtown and new this would be my last chance to look cute for a couple of days. Plus, downtown just inspires fashion.
