Waimea Shabby Apple Dress
 in this  giveaway, from Victoria. Her fashion blog
 
Style Marmalade,
is one of my favorites. 
Today I'm also linking from Two Birds Inspiration Monday.

Here's today's inspiration outfit, 
featuring the actress
Sara Rue.
My version:
I tried to mimic her pose,
belt, & hair.
This used to be my great grandmother's necklace.
I wear it as a bracelet. 
My cousin made my earrings.

On the left page are things on my love list.

Details of the ruffles on dress, & my belt.
My mom made the blue/green bracelet.

We know 
braids are trendy now. 

I learned to french braid my own hair, the summer before I went into 9th grade.

I got the French Braid down, but the Fishtail Braid not so much. Basically it looks a mess whenever I try it on myself. 



At the time, my uncle told me the girls were wearing french braids in California.
Yes, I asked him.

I had felt so out of the fashion loop, since we'd moved away from there 3 years before. If the girls in California were wearing it, I was determined to learn how. Now I'm like, really, was I slave to fashion? Why did I care so much about what other girls were wearing?   :P
