Sunday Special: Two for One

Backstory- It was ridiculously hot this weekend! I picked up this romper for 5 measly dollars sometime last week, I just couldn't pass it up! So, with the hot weather I figured it would be perfect. I did decide to still wear some tights, they're light and lacy though, so they were still great to wear. Plus I felt the need for them because the shorts on this romper are so darn short! That's what I get for being Amazon woman, I guess. I also got them on sale from UO a loong time ago and have been waiting for the moment to debut them. 

So anyway, I threw this on and styled it up a bit for some photos, but decided I'd feel more comfortable in real public with a skirt and some flats, so when I changed I had a great idea to also document it, and voila, Two for One Sunday has been born. I'm thinking this might be something I do just like once a month for now where I show how I styled up one piece two different ways. Really all I did was put on the skirt and change my shoes, but I think it gives it a completely different feel, that I honestly liked more. What do you think?

A couple of quick notes about the photos, I had read that uploading them through photobucket instead of blogger makes them look better, but I'm not sure, and plus now they're all different sizes and I don't really like that look. How do you upload your pictures, and what works best for you?

Plus, I'm using my boyfriend's mac and I feel like the picture on this screen is a little distorted, so if my pictures do look funny it could be because I edited them on here. It'll have to do for now while my laptop is still sick. :(

This Time, Baby, I'll be Bulletproof

I couldn't think of anything better than a song lyric, sorry. It's been stuck in my head all day! Dang those catchy radio tunes! 

Anyway. Happy Thursday! It was my day off, and was somewhat productive, although I did lay in bed and watch Gossip Girl and P.S. I Love You for awhile. But hey, when the laundry is in the washer, what else is there to do while you wait? :] 

This outfit was technically from last week sometime, my days have been blended together and spit back out into a messy heap that I can't make sense of, sorry. I will get back on the ball sometime in the near future. I can feel it. Until then, this will have to do. And for being so out of my mind, I don't think this outfit is half bad. It's the most comfortable things I own all wrapped into one. Plus the Breton stripes! Which are apparently huge right now. I liked having them just peak out a little bit, and liven everything up with the purple circle scarf. Purple and green are my two favorite colors to wear, in case you were wondering. hah. 
P.S. I love these bangles! I don't ever want to take them off, but I have to keep telling myself that they will get very boring very quickly if I don't space out their wear a little bit. 

Striped Tank- Norma Kamali from WalMart $5!/White Tee- Threads for Thought from Marshall's/Circle Scarf- Marshall's $10/Jeggings- Miley Cyrus & Max Azria from WalMart $3!/Gladiator Sandals- Dollhouse from Ross

One last thing. Say hello to my very first tattoo. :) Crappy phone picture, I know.. let me translate for you. It's on my wrist, and in beautiful writing it says "I Find Hope". Which is not just a hopeful message, but a meaningful one too. The idea came from what has been probably the most influential band, ever, in my life anyway. Let's play another guessing  game and see if you can get it right! 

Oh, btw.. the shoes were from Dollar General. CRAZY, right?! 

Guess Who's Back, Back Again!

I've been having some technical difficulty lately. In my life, and literally as in my laptop crapped out on me. Apparently my specific model of HP laptop has an issue with the NVIDIA graphics card and after so long it glitches out and there's no fixing it beyond getting a new hard drive, i.e. expensive. Or sending it to a company that can mod it and fix it for you, also a tad bit expensive, but once I have the money saved up for it I will definitely be choosing that option. So for now I have taken advantage of my boyfriend's wonderful generosity and I'm using his cute little iBook for the moment. Thanks babe!

Due to the technical difficulties in life, outfit photos have been the last thing on my mind, but a few days last week I did take a few pictures, and finally got around to putting them all together, editing and planning and what not today, so I'll have a few posts ready to go for you all for a few days this week at least. yay! I can't even describe how much I've been missing this place. ughh.

So anyway, on to the outfit? Yes. You've seen this shirt before here. I decided to make it a little more casual with the cuffed jeans and these AMAZING shoes I got last week! I've been searching high and low for some sandals very similar to these, and they were only 8 bucks. You know I love a steal, and I couldn't give a hoot about what is on the label. So let's play a fun little game, okay? Take a good, close look at these beauties and try to guess where I got them from. I will be surprised if anyone guesses right. haha.

Shirt- Gift from friend/Jeans- Bullhead from Pacsun/Shoes- Surprise! $8!/Belt- Goodwill $1!/Jewelry- Forever 21

Oh Dear..

I can't believe it's Monday again, already.
And that it's been over a week since I've been here. All I have to say is that I've been in the weeds. In case you've never worked in an industry that uses that terminology, it basically means I've been too busy, stressed, etc. to even see straight.
For this Megan Loves edition, I have only one thing to say.

I love my family with all of my heart, and as I grow and continue to learn more about them, and myself and my upbringing and everything else that goes along with it, I am astonished, taken aback, and realizing of how truly and utterly lucky I have been.

So, as you can tell I have had a kind of crazy week. But I promise things will go back to normal again. As part of my stressed out blahness due to certain events and what not, I've had a terrible time putting together any kind of outfit that doesn't include jeans, and a band t-shirt. And what attempts I have made just haven't come across very well in any photos. I'm slowly getting back into my groove, though. Thank you to all of my new followers! You have no idea how big I smiled when I came back to see the new additions. I can't tell you how much it means to me.


Happy Monday everyone!
I'll see you soon. :]

Blue Collar Copycat

Have you seen Kyla from Blue Collar Catwalk? She's one of my original inspirations behind starting this blog, and I've been loving her spring wardrobe. She keeps it casual, but still looks totally put together and when I found these pants of my mom's I instantly thought of her! I even went all the way with my gladiator sandals. :]

I must admit, however, that Kyla does don some pants that I don't think I could pull off, so these are a little more of a tame version, but I really loved wearing this. It was perfect for the warm weather (In the 80s!!) and oh so comfortable.
I found this shirt yesterday at Walmart for 5 bucks, dude. I just love deals like that. And I can guarantee it will be worked into many outfits to come. So be ready! haha.


P.S. I really need to trim my fringe. I might do that right.now.
Okay, after I finish this, anyway.

Shirt- Norma Kamali from Walmart $5, Pants- My mom's, Shoes- Dollhouse from Ross, Top Necklace- Gift from Jonathan, Longer Necklace- Forever 21, Belt- Goodwill $1

Old Becomes New a.k.a. Teen Spirit.

Idea behind this outfit? Okay. If you read my first post you would know that I was super emo/punk in high school. I wore jeans, tennis shoes (chucks or some sort of skater shoe) and lots of black! I like to think I've come a looong way since then. A long, long, long way. hah. Skirts were never a part of my closet. So this is my updated high school me. A motocross shirt, plaid, and chucks mixed with tights and a skirt perfectly combines who I was then with who I am now. And I love it. :]

I'll figure out that whole lighting thing one of these days. Probably when I get a better camera. Anyone care to contribute to that dream? hah.

Shirt: Metal Mulisha- Ross $5, Plaid Shirt: Walmart $13, Skirt- Forever 21 $10, Tights- Walmart $5, Shoes- Converse- Ross $15, Belt- Unsure, Ring- Forever 21 $3.80

Maybe I can be a Presidente, Spread Love Around the Country..

I just realized I kind of blend into my background. haha. Maybe my title should have had something to do with a chameleon, instead of being a lyric from my favorite song of the moment (May I Bum a Smoke by Socratic). Or it could have been.. Karma Karma Karma Chameleon. Then, it would have still been a song lyric, and karma makes me think of Hippies, which tie-dye also makes me think of. But I tried to steer clear of the hippie look today, although I do love it. Maybe I'll go more literal next time. Who knows.

So, here is my first debut of some of my new jewelry. The necklace I love, because it's a bunch of charms all smushed together, and they happen to be some of my favorite things; sparrows, hearts, lockets, etc. Then the gold bangles are part of a set that has pastel colored ones also, but I picked out just the gold ones to wear today.

I also just realized that other than my belt, and sunglasses, everything I'm wearing today is actually new to my blog! Hurrah! The sweet little flat espadrilles I got on sale from Kohl's for 3 bucks. When I got them home, I put them on for about five minutes, then my feet started killing me, and I realized why they must have been that cheap. But I've been breaking them in, and finally have begun to wear them outside of the house without foot cramps. Great success!

Also, random note: I absolutely cannot wait until I have a better camera, and I'm sure you can't either. hah. Also, also: I should probably find a shadier spot to take pictures at 3 in the afternoon. Sorry it's so bright! I did try to fix them a little, though.

Dress: Ross? I can't even remember. Sheesh., Shoes: Candies via Kohl's $3!, Belt: Goodwill $1!, Jewelry: Forever 21. Both pieces were probably about $6 each.

One more thing, and then I'll shut up, I promise. In case you were wondering about that snazzy nail polish color, it's called "Crushed" from Sally Hansen Hard as Nails, Extreme Wear. :] It's probably my most favorite color of nail polish I've ever owned!
