Hello everyone!
So remember a few weeks back when I lost my favorite hat when I fell in the river? Well, this is proof I have thee best friends ever at school. Even though it wasn't her fault (but my own), Erin felt bad that I fell in the river and lost my hat, so she bought me a new, look-alike one! Oh my goodness, who does that?! Erin, if you're reading this you're the best. Seriously.
Things have been going well over here in little Ohio. I applied for a second job today that I'm not sure yet if I want to get or not. I love my job at Aero but I'm simply just not getting the hours I need to make money this summer. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. Today was the sweetest because I volunteered in my sister's third grade classroom and got to walk with them to the local ice cream stand. Sometimes I can't believe she's nearly ten because I remember holding her for the first time in China when she was just a baby. I mean, I know I'm growing and getting older but why does she have to, too?! Yesterday she had me put a full face of makeup on her and curl her hair (which is amazing because she's the kind of kid who makes farting noises with her armpits and won't wear a dress). Look at this little monster I'm creating! ♥
Hope you all are well, too!
With much love, Lauren.
P.S. If you'd fancy you can take a gander at my online store! x
Aww, I don't have a little sister but I definitely know the feeling!
ReplyDeleteI wish you luck with your second job Lauren!!

I just love the color of your dress :) And I'm super jealous of that necklace! So cute that you did your sister's hair and makeup--you should have taken a picture!

That dress is just absolutely amazing! I really love the color!
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding a second job! I worked a second job after freshman year too - it does stink sometimes, but you are right, you got to do what you go to do.
And yay for a new hat! What a great friend!
xoxo,

I looove this color on you, and how sweet of your friend to get you a new hat! I love the back of the dress, too. What kind of job are you applying to? It can be really hard to weigh a job you love against something that would make more money... my day job right now would definitely not pay the bills if I were living on my own (and as it is, most of it goes to shopping..... ahem), but I really enjoy my job most of the time. I'm sure I'd probably make more money in a food service job, but I wouldn't be as happy. But you're still in college, and I think if I had it to do over, I'd choose to make as much money as I could over my summer breaks. So I hope everything works out!

ReplyDeleteAwwww. that's so nice of Erin. I saw one that I thought would suit you but didn't think it was wise to ship it to America!x
ReplyDeleteHooray for a new lookalike hat! It's so cute with this simple summery outfit. I love the unique color of this dress and those perfect woven flats.
ReplyDeleteI bet you were the coolest big sister ever to help her class out like that.
ReplyDeleteI think this color looks great with your skintone. How nice!
