Hungering

About a year ago, I read the Hunger Games trilogy and wrote about it here.   So, I have been "hungering" for the movie to come out ever since.  My friend Brooke and I have been literally stalking everything Hunger Games for the last year in anticipation to the opening night.  And we finally made it!  Like the true Barney's that we are, we went all out!

Brooke and I with our Hunger Games bags.  I will have a tutorial on how to make them coming up.  

It looks like Brooke is about to beat me up!  In true Katniss form.

Brooke and I in the theater waiting.....and yes we had mockingjay pins!  And I know you can't see it, but I also had  Katniss' necklace from the second book
  

I loved the movie, even though there were a few things I wish they would have done better.  I felt like the actors did a great job!  What did you all think of the movie?

Oh and I know I promised a tutorial and unfortunately I got a little busy will school stuff.  So, I promise I will make my next post the tutorial on the mockingjay bag I was carrying!

I'm Addicted To You

I was on my way home from school today and heard the Britney Spears song Toxic, and I felt like it was the perfect song for this outfit.  Why?  Because I am addicted to these pants.  They are the perfect color!  I absolutely love them...and yes I may be a little late on the colored jean train, but I finally jump aboard and I am going to ride it full steam ahead! Maybe I should have went with, "Come on wide the train, Hey ride it'!

Jeans from TJMaxx $10 (yes, that is correct $10)
White Shirt from Walmart $3 (yup, once again that is correct cuz I got it on sale)
Striped Cardigan from Goodwill $5
Necklace from Body Shop $3
Cuff from Body Shop $3
Shoes from Walmart...and I can't remember how much these babies were

Can I just say, I almost killed myself getting into position before my timer went off! 

Oh and stay tuned for my upcoming DIY.....

I won't lie, when I was younger I was a complete snob when it came to thrift stores.  I remember my mom buying me the cutest pink vest from a thrift store when I was younger.  And, I won't lie, I really did think it was cute.  But, I refused to wear it because, well,  it was from a thrift store. 

I think my mom would be proud because I have converted into a thrift storeaholic!  I have actually gotten to a point where I yearn for the Goodwill. 

Here is one of my latest Goodwill outfits.  Well...most of it is from the Goodwill.  

Cardigan: Goodwill $2.00

Shirt:        Goodwill $2.00

Tank top: Walmart (I think it was $10)

Leggings: Walmart ( I think they were $10)

Boots:     Ebay (I think they were $29)

Not the cheapest outfit I have been able to get, but $4.00 for my shirts is a pretty good buy in my book!  What do you all think?  Are there any newly thrift storeaholics out there?

Uh...pregnant?

***Be prepared for a long story, you may want to skip to the second paragraph for the juicy stuff****

So, today in my anatomy class we were learning about the respiratory system.  We were testing how much pressure of air we can breath out.  After doing mine, I realized I was far below what I should have been.  So, I asked my teacher why that would be.  She asked me if I was a smoker.  Nope, never have been.  She asked me if I had asthma.  Nope, that wasn't it.  

So, here is where it gets good.  The next thing that came out of her mouth took me by surprise.  Yeah....she said, "oh, you're pregnant!"  She didn't ask, she just stated.  A good way to respond to that would have been to just shrug it off and tell her no.  But no.  Not me.  I got a little crazy for some reason.  I slapped my hand on the counter top and said (in a non indoor voice) "I am NOT pregnant!  I'm just obviously fat!"  Not my finest moment.  I was even about ready to start saying, "did you just call me fat?  I think you just called me fat!" 

I will admit I have gained some weight since this school year has started.  And I have been really bad about working out on a regular basis.  So, at that moment of embarrassment, I decided I was gonna have to start working out more.  Oh and I haven't decided if I need to burn my shirt because obviously something made her think I was pregnant. 

Leggings are not pants??

 So, I have seen many funny pictures on pinterest like this.  

 But, I will have to argue. I actually think leggings are the most comfy pants...as long as they are teamed with a shirt that covers your butt and larger part of your thighs. I do not believe tights are pants though. I actually saw a girl wearing a rather short shirt/dress and tights. You could almost see her kooka!  So here is the new slogan.  

So, to show just how much I believe leggings are pants, here is me rocking some leggings! 

Do you rock leggings as pants?
