______This post feels so incomplete to me, but I'm putting it up anyway because I must must must meet my measly one-post-per-week quota. About three-fourths of the way through taking pictures, Sir Lancelot the camera met the ill fate of running out of battery juice, even though he began with half his bars full (my apologizes, I refer to my camera as if it is a human being sometimes); thus, there are no accessory detail shots. I am going to try to get those up later in the week, though. Sir Lancelot, thou hath lied to me! On top of that, I forgot to bring my tripod, and mother dearest and I had to use a traffic cone instead (innovative thinking on her behalf!). Oh, and then the big bag of spinach that I usually buy at the grocery store every week was missing and I had to settle for the two smaller bags of (what I believe is) less delicious spinach with tinier leaves. Talk about a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.
______...Okay, so the spinach thing wasn't that traumatizing, but hey--imagine having to settle for crunchy peanut butter when you're so used to having creamy peanut butter all the time... or something. It's a little bit different and weird, yeah?
______Not being able to finish things kind of frustrates me more than it should. It's a bad quality of mine to get so frustrated over even the littlest of things and I know it. I just really don't like it when things don't go as planned or have to be postponed or moved from their schedule. It makes me extremely uncomfortable. I like having control over things that I usually have control over. I really like making lists and checking thing off lists and sometimes even putting things on a list just so I can cross it off and feel accomplished. I'm obsessive and I know it.
______But I guess not everything can be perfect, and not all priorities can be prioritized. Ah, well. Anyway, this week, my two classes on Friday are cancelled, so I'm hoping to be able to stop by the craft store and make some DIYs that have been lying in wait in my bookmarks. Until the next post, fine citizens.
______Are you a "list-making" type of person? Or are you better at just letting things happen as they do?

I totally hear you. I'm into making lists too and crossing stuff off! It's very fulfilling to know you accomplished something...half the time I don't accomplish what I want to accomplish though!

I am such a list person. Haha, I make them all the time! Over everything. I've gotten into the habit due to my awful memory.
And poor Sir Lancelot. Haha, my camera died halfway through taking photos last weekend too!
But glad you managed to get these up. Your red shorts and statement necklace are rocking :)
Hope the week goes better for you!

I know how you feel, I like to have a plan, know exactly what I'm doing, and I get very upset when things change last minute.
I also hate it when my camera battery dies! Arg! Sometimes I'll just run inside and charge it for 5 minutes, it gives it just enough life to finish out the shoot.
Love Love Love the red shorts!

I love those boots and shorts, so gorgeous! Haha sorry you had such a traumatizing day! I always try to make lists but half the time I end up forgetting it and just doing everything out of order

I use to make lists, just that most of time I end up doing everything in a different order, or rescheduling :/
Nice shorts ! (loving the dress and yellow jacket outfit from days before)
Thx for the stopping by my blog.
You look fabulous in those red shorts - love 'em :) And I'm definitely a list maker - I think it really helps me get things done!

p.s. - i love making lists too - i have a notebook that i fill with my daily to-do lists; my brother calls it my bible. and what's more fun than making lists is crossing things off it (even if that means adding it only to cross it off. glad i'm not the only one!)
Cute cute outfit! You look a little like Mickey Mouse, but I mean that in the cutest most adorable way ever! Your booties really toughen the look, very very stylish looking indeed.
I'm just like you in that I love making lists, lists, and more lists. I gain great pleasure off crossing things off my list (even though I add 3 new things for every 1 thing accomplished... haha).

cool outfit.. I really really like the shoes a lot!
and about lists.. I'm an organized neat freak..I plan everything, I work with deadlines, I cannot survive without my agenda or daily planner...which also works as a journal and doodling pad... but yes, it definitely sucks when you can't finish a task or doesn't turn out as planned.. I get really pissed off but writing everything down makes it easier, I can see what to do next, instead of skipping or forgeting other things... do you have a daily planer? maybe you could give it a try... best of luck.. hoping to see those DIYs
the red shorts are <3
Your style is amazing!
Great blog!

oh i love the outfit, very nautical-ish! love the boots most of all..oh and i so agree with you on everything!! :) Followed u on Gfc!
Much love, Gabriele. xx
The shorts look great. I make so many lists.
your figure is so slim and perfect!! and haha I'm not really so much of a list person, but when I do try to organise myself I will make small, more general lists. You should cut down a few of the minor details of your lists and see how you go. Some things aren't important at all in the long run and can be eliminated, and you'll find it easier to achieve everything (and be more satisfied) with a smaller list :)
