$2 Dress

Ive been pretty absent on my blog. I just haven't had the time to get ready. I work in a uniform and by the time I get home from work the last thing I want to do is get all dolled up and take photos. Then on my days off Im busy driving back and forth to my moms to do laundry, going to the post office, to the bank, grocery shopping or just flat out boring stuff. So theres no point in looking cute to do all that. The only time I "get ready" is when I work my retail 2nd job because theres no dress code there. It's nice to be able to wear whatever you want to work. Im going to try and make an effort to take more photos. I love expressing myself through style. I love clothes and outfits so I really do want to share more outfit posts. Im going to colorado in 2 weeks so i will definitely try and make my friend take outfit photos for me. Sorry, thats the price you pay for being my friend!  

How to have a successful beach day

 Read a book about aliens

 Avoid a pedicure by scraping off the dead skin on your feet with razor sharp seashells

 Laugh because the most action you're getting is seaweed washing up and smacking you in the butt

Get a permanent wedgie from your swim bottoms because they insist on riding up

Soak up some sunshine while forgetting to reapply sunscreen

 Go for a walk and take photos of flowers, because you don't have 300 photos of flowers on your phone already...

 Take a photo in front of flowers because you haven't done that before...

Put on headphones so you don't have to hear the children to your right screaming in french

 Reminisce on all the times you've peed in that water

 Thats all it takes for a successful beach day! 

How About No

I figured I would share what I was wearing in my most recent youtube video. The shirt is from ROMWE. An asian website that clearly knocks off wild fox, topshop, urban outfitters, etc. But whatever its suuuuper cheap you just have to wait AGES for it to ship out. It is coming from somewhere in Asia after all. This shirt though is possibly one of the best shirts I own. It was like $7 and I just paired it with high waisted black shorts I thrifted a while ago. You can go on down to the very bottom and watch my video where I try on my latest thrift finds and show a lot of skin. Scandalous! But whatever we all have bodies, get over it. We are all just a bag of bones. 

The downside to turning 26

Turning 26 means I lose my heath care. So please don't stab me after September 20th because ill probably die. Before then is completely fine though. Kidding! Please don't stab me at any point in time. Loosing my health insurance means I won't be able to afford new glasses. Also dentist, birth control, doctors visits, god for bid I get pregnant ill be screwed... but lets not get into that. It will only make me depressed. Anyways, So I've been scouring this earth for the past 3 months looking for new glasses and I've come across 0 glasses I like. Ive been to all the lenscrafers, eye doctors, costco, target, walmart. Literally anywhere that sells glasses I've looked and nothing. They are all boring and too small. So the last place I've turned to is etsy. Ive been looking at old 1980s glasses. Because who didn't do BIG glasses better than the 80s? So these are the final contenders. They are all under $100. They are exactly what I had in mind. Big, funky glasses. I've had the same glasses for  7 years. I got them in red, then later i bought the same exact frames just in black. So I am ready for a change. What do you think? Some are funkier than others but I really can't decide. Thats another thing about me I'm the WORST at making decisions. Ive learned to be a "go with the flow" kinda person because I literally can't make a decision for myself. I just let other people make decisions for me hah thats bad right? Owell.

The original red/torotise shell frames

Then the same exact ones in black

Also how cute is penny? I wish my mom would give her to me but she won't.

Blues

I hated the color blue for the longest time. I had to wear it every single day for like a year and a half when i worked at ross. I was just sick of it. It's been over 3 years since I left that job and I'm finally warming back up to blue clothing. Also yes, jeans were a bad decision. I was sweating bullets by the time I finished taking these photos. It was only 85 degrees but its just sooo humid right now your body can't help but to sweat. The joy of florida summers.

Thrift haul!

So I don't know if you're aware but I post videos on youtube. My latest one is a thrift haul but I try and make a variety of videos. Most of them are thrift hauls though so if you're into that type of thing check out my channel! Its just my name "Katie McCullough" or click on the video below and it should take you straight to youtube. I don't care about the number of subscribers but i love reading nice comments, so go leave a comment while you're at it! Only if you want to of course...

Dumb doodles

In my previous post I talk about being "decent" at drawing. So I figured I would share some of my drawings. They are always of existing cartoons. I actually got a C in college drawing. Luckily it dropped off for my Associates in Science and doesn't affect my GPA. If you go onto instagram and search #dumbdooodles with 3 "o"s you'll find all my little doodles. Its nice to just zone out for like an hour and focus on the pen and paper. I don't trace. I just look at an image and draw what I see. Im by no means talented but I'm also not the worst.

Murals

St. Pete has the best graffiti, or murals. Potato, tomato. So many buildings near downtown are just covered in amazing art. I had previously seen the cat mural the last time I was in St. pete but the skeleton one was new to me. Im always impressed when someone is talented in a creative way. Im a decent drawer but I can only draw things I see. I can't just picture something in my head and put it down onto paper. I don't have that imagination aspect to art. Which is fine. We can't all be Dali. If we were like him or any other creative artist, they wouldn't be special.

A completely thrifted outfit

 If you look back on some of my older blog posts A LOT of them are babydoll dresses and combat boots. Not much has changed over the years. Im still wearing the 90s grunge style clothing because its super easy to find at thrift stores. Also I like the way mixing feminine dresses with masculine boots looks. I think it's good to neutralize a dress and make it more casual. 

 Everything I'm wearing here was thrifted. 

Space boots

I am the worst when it comes to wearing wrinkled clothes. I blame the fact that I don't own a dyer (or washer) and can't just pop something in it to get the wrinkles out. I do own an iron but who has time for that? Not me. So I just walk around the earth looking like I rolled out of bed. Owell, at least I have on cool boots to distract from the wrinkles. My david bowie boots. Can you believe these are childrens shoes? Yes. I have tiny feet. But also why would a child need boots these funky?

Bangin

I've had bangs for 7 years! You wouldn't know it because I always pull them back or push them to the side. They are a lot of work and I am very much a person who hates having hair in their face. Im one of those people who pushes their hair behind their ears and I don't even realizing I'm doing it. I like bangs, I like the way they look. I just wish I was better at maintaining them and not getting annoyed every time I have to re-adjust them.

My sisters getting married

So my sister is getting married in 2018 and we had to book the venue today because its THAT popular. It really is a beautiful spot to get married at. I feel like I'm not fancy enough to belong there. But its not about me. Even though I did make my sister take my photo ahahah maybe its about me a little...But not when it comes to the wedding. Its a 1930s mansion so i did feel a little bit on theme with my 1940s style cat eye sunglasses and red lip.
