______BornPretty sent me some pretty jewelry--namely an ampersand ring and glitzy fishy earrings--along with these neat diamond print tights. I'm not gonna lie. The real reason I wanted these tights was because the diamond pattern was reminiscent of (ahem, geekery ahead) Ghirahim from Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword; he's the villain, and he's sassy and dramatic... like me, of course. At least, like me on the interwebs when I don my computer screen like a mask. In real life I'm only sassy in my head because I'm not actually brave enough to be overtly sassy. If you saw me in real life I'd most likely dive behind the first hide-able object and peek up at you suspiciously, cat-style.
______But hey, we can't all be socialites.
______The little tails on these fishy earrings wiggle, so if I wiggle, they wiggle. But I gotta wiggle real hard. Extreme wiggling? It's a new sport. The Olympian representatives won't reply to my persistent requests to make it official, though. Those turds and their giant torch.
______...
______Oh snaz, it's New Years' Day, isn't it? I'm a ditz, yes, but luckily I've been diligent enough to figure out a decent few resolutions for the year. They are as follows:
- be able to bike 50 miles straight one day (I've gotten up to 31 miles in one sitting, but then I had to go to class!)
- figure out where I'd like to go to grad school, along with applying and being accepted (!!!)
- create a total of around 6 larger, more time-consuming paintings, and hopefully get some of my work into a gallery this year
- whip up a new blog layout
- become a pirate mermaid fairy princess (on the top tier of importance, fer sure)

Won't you feel uncomfortable with that fish tale :D
Wow, those tights are fierce, awesome colors too. ^_^ Loove your hair *_*
Extreme wiggling, OMG. I would compete!
Love the earrings--too cute--and the tights. They remind me of a Harlequin costume! The glitzy crop top is perfect for New year, too.
Those tights are so so AMAZING!! Love them! They remind me of the circus for some reason! Happy New Year!

Sincerely, Sara
First of all I want to say that the color of your hair is just perfect, I'd love to reach the same result with my own hair, but I guess you are not dyeing your hair, are you?
Those photographs are adorable as well) You look so sophistciated and chic! Those tights are beyond any compliments, so original! I'm just in awe of your style, dear Ali!
Happy new year to you! Wishing you all best this year and more blessings and opportunities to come! :)
DEM TIGHTS!!! Ooooh, I love them Ali, they're super sassy and awesome like you :D
Haha, and I have to say, I pictured you diving behind a bush and peering up suspiciously, with a nose twitch and cat ears. Gave me a laugh!
Whoo, and 50 miles? You go girl! You will definitely have to post about it when it happens - I believe in you!
Also, I want to see the paintings you create :) I really was impressed by the one you put up on Facebook that you've been working on - you're just awesome all around, aren't ya?
Wiggling...it'll be the new Zumba, I just know it. LMFAO will be their artist of choice for wiggling classes ("Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, yeah!")
Hehe, anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR ALI!!!

Hey Ali,
I wish you a happy new year!
These tights are so cool. I would take them immediately too!
And the earrings are very cute. I mean why not wearing fishies in your ears? I bought some frog earrings some weeks ago an love to wear them. They are a little bit...I dont know the right word for "kitschig" (German)...but it's so much fun to wear them :D

The accessories in this outfit are just awesome. I love love those cool tights! I've never seen a pair like those before and they look wonderful on you. I'm also enjoying your cute little fish earrings.
Also hooray for getting into grad school and godspeed. Seriously. I'm so glad I'm almost done. I think it zapped a 50% of my life force. I wonder if life force regenerates...
Happy happy new year!

I've honestly never seen tights in that pattern before, and I'm mesmerized. They look so good paired with the red boots, and contrasted against your sweater. Btw, I love your hair and how beautifully it curls!

So many things to say! First of all, that comment about what you mom said about my video the other day completely made my day. Second, that top looks like some wonderful chain mail armor that you could defeat a dragon in and still look fabulously beautiful. Third, your hair is stunning here! It looks like some 1930's movie star red carpet hair with the perfect subtle waves and it looks so smooth I want to touch ittttt.
Also, I hope you hit your goal of 50 miles! I used to be able to do 25 miles back in the day and I thought I was pretty hot stuff. 50 is incredible!
Have a fabulous day lovely lady! :)
I love this outfit especially those tights and shoes So pretty!
Yes to #4!!! haha

You are looking marvelous as ever :) I hope you are having a lovely week and an even lovelier day (I am snowed in for the time being, cooking up a delicious lentil stew :)!) Talk soon!

WHOA those tights! You and Linda both have such cool tights :) And those fish earrings are adorable, hahhaa I like how they wiggle too. With all the practice you are getting from the earrings, I'm sure you would win gold for Extreme Wiggling ;)
Good luck on your resolutions!
Those tights are so cool!
I think we are all allowed our geeky indulgences, and those tights are just so fun!
I am mostly smitten with the ampersand ring though. It's just so cute!
