my make-over

ok, so i was DESPERATELY in need of new clothes, especially when i ripped a hole in the butt of my 1 pair of capris. . . i talked w/ jon and we agreed that i could take some money out of our hawaii fund to get new clothes. happy day! i decided to get a haircut too, so it's like a whole new me! sort of a miniature version of what not to wear b/c the stuff i ended up getting was WAY better than the things i had before. that and i plan to go through and get rid of everything that doesn't really work. . . so yeah, i'm excited and decided to share some pictures. . . first, the hair--

so, so cute! i LOVE it! ok, so then here's what i ended up wearing today--

so yeah, i'm totally excited for jon to come home next week! i finally found the PERFECT dress to totally knock his socks off! best part is, i got it at walmart, of all places, can you believe it? i mean, i love that store, but i never expected to find such an awesome dress there! anyways, check it out--

oh yeah, and i actually made the jewelry to go w/ it too--

pretty sweet, huh? :D so yeah, i'm WAY excited about my new clothes! i know it'll blow jon away too, so it's just that much more anxious-making. . .

ok, i'm a dork, but i just have to comment on the term "anxious-making". . . so last time i wrote about all those books, right? well, in the uglies series, some of the people, pretties, would speak in what they called "pretty talk". . . they would say things like "happy-making" or "nervous-making". . . funny thing is though, just now when i was writing, i honestly couldn't think of a better way to put it. . . weird, huh? i think it's interesting how expressions, even when they're new or unfamiliar, will incorporate themselves into our language like that. . .

ok, so yeah, random tangent over. i just wanted to write this really quick b/c i realized i hadn't written yet this week the way i'd intended. that's all i have time for right now though, so i'm done till next time! :)
