Nerdy by Nature // What I Wore

(me holding my imaginary blaster)

I'm really bummed that these photos turned out so grainy, because I just loved this outfit. It just felt like the perfect combination of nerdy and sophisticated. And how about the TARDIS necklace!? It was a Christmas gift from my friend Rachel, and I just love it. Thank you, dear! I love that we both got the other one something Doctor Who related. 

In other news it's almost the weekend and even though I have to work Saturday I'm still excited. This will be my third Sunday off in a row (*hallelujah chorus plays*), which almost never happens, which is great. Sunday is one of my favorite days of the week - especially now that I no longer teach Sunday school every week. I'll get to sleep in, attend church, and generally just spend a nice, relaxing day off work. I can't wait!

Belated New Year // What I Wore + My Resolution

Well this is an extremely late outfit post. This is actually what I wore for New Years Eve. The gold embroidery on the dress seemed very festive, and I lined my lower lash-line with a gold metallic eyeshadow pencil, to spice up my makeup for the occasion.

I can't believe it's 2014 already! It feels like it was *just* 2012 and I was graduating high school, and now I've been out of school for two years and am twenty years old. Where does the time go??

Speaking of the new year, did any of you make any interesting new year resolutions? My resolution this year is to live my life more boldly. I feel like I let my laziness shyness dictate a lot of my life. Like, when confronted with the choice of going out with friends, or staying at home with my Netflix account, it's really hard for me to resist the urge to stay in my jim jams bingeing on sci-fi shows. This year, however, I want to work on that. I want to go out more, say the things I'm too scared to say and all around just take control of life again.

Whatever your resolution this year, I hope you succeed. Let's kick 2014 in the butt!

Clara Oswald Cosplay // Wish List

Last night I (finally!) got to see the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special in theaters. And although it wasn't quite all that I'd hoped, I still really loved it.

As cool as it was to see David Tennant as the Doctor again, I think I was equally amazed at Clara's awesome outfit. Working retail definately has it's downsides (*coughs*blackfriday*coughs*), but one of the perks of the job is knowing exactly where to find the clothes and shoes you so desperately crave. Since I already knew of two good stand-ins for part of Clara's outfit, I thought I'd put together a short guide of how to get her look. Let me know what you think.

P.S. I'm really hoping my parents decide to give me money for a Barbour jacket from the shop I work at, for my 20th birthday next month. It's the last thing I need to be the absolute perfect companion. Lol. Jk. (but not really)
