This Week in Fashion

Sorry this post is so late (and long), but I couldn't post this until now because I have no internet at my new place and had to wait until I got to my parents house to load my outfit photos. It should be quite nice to not have internet but I know I'll be panicking a lot of the time because of the blog and my Matt Lewis and Harry Potter sites. If I didn't have websites I could probably go a month with no internet no problem...but we'll see how I do. ;)

Well this was an interesting week...the move in didn't go as smoothly as I'd hoped, but nothing is ever easy so I don't know why I expected it to be. ;) First of all, it was raining, and if thats not bad enough the previous owner of the house left FOOD in the fridge and the power was turned off. The house smelled DISGUSTING. My roomie and I had to empty out the whole fridge into the garbage outside and it was gross. The fridge was also REALLY gross, luckily my parents cleaned that out for us while my roomie and I cleaned the bathroom and windows, ha ha. The rest of the week was spent cleaning up our house, shopping for stuff and organizing. We're almost done!

My "closet room" was a lot smaller than I remembered but I made it work.  I spent so much money on organization stuff for it, but it was worth it. I got 2 garment racks, a shoe rack, and an 8-cube shelf (for sweaters). I also got a really cute ottoman/couch thing for the middle of the room. I still need to get curtains or something to make the walls more pretty though.  I'll post some pictures of the house soon, I want to use my new camera to do it, so hopefully I can take them next week and then get a post ready next Friday when I go home.

Needless to say I was very tired at work, but I made it through! I bought a new camera on Amazon last Saturday [A Nikon D120] and I got it today when I came home (I still call it home...but that will probably change in a few weeks)!! Since we have no tv/internet I had to come home to watch the episode of Project Runway I recorded (and I'm babysitting on Saturday night).

I find it quite amusing that I wore purple every day this week except for Thursday (unless you count my purse), so weird how that happens sometimes. Do you ever notice that all your outfits for a week are similar in color or style?  P.S. Sorry for the icky pictures, hopefully my new camera improves them ;)

  3. Damn, you've been so busy! I would personally die with no internet - I don't know how you do it. And I'm glad to hear that the move/unpacking is starting to all come together.

  6. Your purple outfits are super cute, and I really really love that purse. I never knew you ran an HP and Matthew Lewis website. JEEZ CHRIST I love Matthew Lewis, he grew up so well <3 And that's disgusting, what the previous owners did to the fridge. I'm really glad none of the apartments i"ve moved into have been that way

  9. Well, I guess it's not hard to wear purple every day when your purse is purple! ; D

  28. Yay for a place with a friend!!! It sounds like the transition was kind of rough, what with the food with an attitude and all. You'll make it your own in no time.
