Nancy Drew's Closet Day 3

I hope you had a wonderful fantastic Sunday! I was planning to wear today's outfit to church but it happend to be a little bit too big... and I haven't had time to take out the hideous shoulder pads (ew!)!

So before we walk into Mystery World (that was about the lamest thing I ever said), I got the chance to visit with Sydney at My Walk with the King. Her little sis was being adorable (as usual) and I got some great pics.
This one I played around on Picnik with and got great results. So it was my second try at this whole 'part-colored' thingy.... i don't know what you call it. But isn't it a cute picture?

Now onto the outfit!



See what I mean when I say it's a little big? Just a tad wide from side to side...
(P.S. did you notice the outfit is the only thing colored in the picture? cool, huh?)


This is actually an outlet by the fireplace, and it's covered by a brick. Totally MYSTERIOUS!!!
*gasp* a brick comes out of the fireplace!

NANCY TRIVIA:
Did you know that when Nancy Drew was first thought up, her original name was supposed to be Nan Drew?
Did you know Carolyn Keene is a pen name?

Nancy Drew's Closet Day 2

It happened again! Just like yesterday, when I logged in to blogger, 3 comments awaited me.
How exciting is that?!??! That means I'm gaining popularity! Lol. :)

Are you ready to unveil the secret of the
Nancy-Drewish clothes?
(please excuse my lame try at having a mysterious pun...)

It was SO windy outside today... so my skirt looks like wierd floppy shorts..

I liked Natasha's idea of fogging the background so I tried it myself. It worked awesome! My legs look like the have green hair sticking off the sides though... hmmm...


Since it was so windy I decided to head inside to get you some better pictures. Please excuse the messy background. :)

My skirt is actually green and blue plaid. It's dark colors though, and I think it's wool. (those two thoughts should not have gone in the same sentence.)

I am SO EXCITED!! I love Nancy Drew!

Nancy Drew's Closet Day 1

You know what's really exciting? logging into my blogger account and having 3 comments needing to be moderated!!

So I got creative with the post title but WHO CARES??? I am SO EXCITED because today is the first day of the NANCY DREW FASHION WEEK!!!!!!!! :):):):)
I had so much fun taking these pictures.
I also had TONS of fun shopping at thrift stores yestereday...
when I got home I was dissapointed because I felt like I hadn't gotten anything...
whenever I got home and sorted out all my outfits..

Oh yah, girlfriends. I hit the jackpot.
ok, sure that's just in my opinion. I'll let you decide for yourselfs. :)

I was trying to imitate Nancy on the cover of "The Hidden Staircase"... didn't go over to well.

LOVE how this picture turned out!


I figured out how to give pictures a sort of vintage tint!


So that's my outfit for today's Nancy Drew Fashion Week!
I didn't wear this outfit all day- unlike during my Feminine Fashion Week, where I wore most of the outfits all day long. I probably won't wear most of my nancy Drew outfits all day, for the following reasons.
1. They are not relaxed, house-cleaning outfits.
2. I got them from Goodwill and didn't have time to wash them yet. (lol)
3. The skirt I wore today was my sisters, and it's true vintage- and she doesn't want it to get dirty :)
4. The sweater I wore today was thick and heavy- come on, the sun is shining! I changed into a t-shirt and houseskirt immedietally following the photo shoot.

So I hope you don't mind that I dress up for the photos... lol. :)

Stay tuned for more Nancy Drew Fashion Week!

More Construction...

Well, I've decided to try a different font with my blog. What do you think? Is it easy to read?
Well I know this is probably a cheesy thing to do, but I'll rewrite this paragraph in a different font...

What do you think of the new font? Is it easy to read?
