Weekly Wears: Locked Up At School

Before I start the outfit part of this post, I'd just like to give each and every one of you a hug for your sweet comments on Hope's post.  You all are so supportive it makes me want to cry happy tears.  For those of you who have asked, yes she wrote the whole post.  She writes it in her notebook for me and I type it out word-for-word, 8 year old mistakes and all.  ;)  I'm letting her read the comments to her posts after I do a little sifting (and possibly weeding), so she gets the encouragement but doesn't have to see the ugly side of blogging quite yet.  She's a little girl, and just like all little ones is still very sensitive and impressionable.

So, here's a fun story:

While driving around looking for pretty places to shoot outfit pictures, we happened upon this beautiful, old school.  We made our way through the gate, around to the back, and found a nice location.  We did our thing, hopped back in the car (this was 5 minutes at the most), and as we drove around the front noticed that the front gate had been locked.  Uhhhhhh... we took our little car and drove ANY path we could find.  It didn't help.  WE WERE TRAPPED!  Seriously, we were there for almost 3 hours before someone finally came to unlock the gate!  It was ridiculous.  I repeat:  RIDICULOUS.  We did make it out, though, and on the way home Johnny said, "I sure hope those pictures turn out."  Yeah, bud... me, too.  ;)

Dress:  old UO
Tank:  old Abercrombie
Head Thingie:  handmade
Necklace:  handmade
Shoes:  Aldo

I won't comment on whether this is my favorite outfit post or not (it's not), but the pictures weren't blacked out, so by-golly I'm using them!  A labor of love, I tell you.  ;)

Really, it's a funny story and could've been a lot worse.  No one in my family got mad at me for being there, the police were really nice, and afterward I got a pretzel.  Not too shabby.  ;))
xoxo Katie

  6. Not your favourite post, well lady I don't even care. You look great, you got to spend 3 hours with your family and away from the computer AND you got a pretzel! That sounds like a mighty fine afternoon to me ;)

    PS
    If anyone was rude to Hope I will slap them up so hard. Don't let Hope read that though. She doesn't need to know about my vigilante justice.

  30. I love seeing you rock out with your beautiful fair skinned legs out! You look adorable, as usual. And those sandals are rocking. And I will say...if you are gonna be "locked up." At least a school is a good location. Bwahahaha....that color looks amazing with your skin and hair color.

  33. Your story sounds something like what might have happened to me! I am glad you all made it out ok.

    You look FANTASTIC. Danielle is right, you glow. I love every bit about this outfit. Even the part where you aren't wearing tights (weird for you it seems but awesome). ;-)

  34. First I have to say I just came across you blog and adore it.
    And now to your outfit post, what a story...and all just for some outfit shoots, but it was definitely worth it not just because of the pretzel!

  40. Your outfits are great! I don't usually like most people's daily outfits (I'm picky like that), but you put some awesome stuff together! I especially like this one. The color of the dress with your hair is wonderful!!
