I give you...last week's outfits. Some of them at least. I need some new poses...I just feel ridiculous sometimes so I end up looking at the ground a lot.

Plus, nothing I found I liked. So I knew I wanted to DIY something. So, we hit up Michaels when their canvases were 40% off, so this big one was $30 I think.By the by, it … [Read more...]
