What I Wear In Oklahoma

Happy Thursday to ya'll!

Today I thought I'd show everyone what I like to wear for Oklahoma's crazy weather. At the moment, it is 87 degrees (Fahrenheit) and humid! Very humid. :( So, what better way to beat the heat with a flowy, breathable strapless dress?! 

The dress I'm wearing here was thrifted (bought at a thrift store), so the tag is faded and I'm not sure who made the dress. It is a beautiful coral, black, and white dress made mainly out of polyester. The sheer black and white chevron skirt is made with a mesh-type fabric and there is a small black under skirt, too. I really love the way it feels and it's super comfortable! The only downside is the built-in pads or bra. The pad inserts are black, and very noticeable through the coral bandeau. They are also quite heavy and weigh the dress down a little, causing it to slide while walking. The dress is a nice length, but I'm only 5'5", so I need to wear some wedges or heels with this. 
The wedges I'm wearing are just some Wal-Mart brand (Faded Glory). For cheap shoes ($20), they are very decent and great to walk in! 
On my toenails, I'm sporting Sally Hansen's Triple Shine nail varnish in Make Waves (#160). It looks more blue in the photograph, but in person, the color is more vibrant and teal. It's a great summer nail polish! :) 
For accessories, I'm just wearing my Pandora charm bracelet. The charms I have on it are all mostly gifts from my family and I've had it since I was 16. These bracelets are extremely strong! And on my head, I'm pulling my second-day hair back with a cute, flexible bow headband from Hot Topic. 
I used to carry a purse while I was back in high school, but since I'm going to start college in FOUR DAYS (!!), my mom bought me a Vera Bradley phone and card wallet. I'm not exactly sure what style it is (like, the design), but it's very versatile and will work perfectly for college. My Samsung Galaxy S3 barely fits in the phone compartment, though, because I think it's made for iPhones.

I'm not much of a make-up person, but I do apply moisturizer! I use Neutrogena's tinted moisturizer. Wearing make-up in this heat would be a disaster waiting to happen!
I'm sorry if this was a typical girly or boring post, but I thought I'd just show you an idea of what to wear during the summer in Oklahoma! :) Thanks for reading!

I'm still alive, I promise!

A lot has happened since the last entry, so allow me to catch up on a couple things here!

• I am finally enrolled into college as a Freshman! No more stupid concurrent enrollment stuff.
• I turned 18 on August 2nd! I don't feel very different but there are so many things I can do now, like buy scratch lottery tickets at a local gas station. 
• My boyfriend is moving to a town called Stillwater to attend college. :( Today was the last day I got to see him. I will get to see him eventually and we may even Skype.
• I bought a new cell phone! One with more RAM than my old phone, which means more posts!
• I started a daily journal (a physical one) so I could keep track of my ideas and other nonsense that I want to post online.
• I finally got around to cleaning my room, now I just need to organize it a little better. ;)

So, there's all the catch-up, now to the real post!

Yesterday my boyfriend and I went to SkyZone to jump on the trampolines and spend more time with each other before he travels off to OSU. I'll surely miss him, but we're definitely closer than we ever have been. We tell each other secrets, "I love yous", and promises. Colleges with dorms are more different than colleges without, so he promised me to never start drugs, drinking, or cheating. It makes me feel more secure when he tells me these things so I can count on him to keep his promise. There have been times where promises were broken (and even hearts), but I'm just glad that we're together now. :) And for any readers out there, love is inevitable, you will experience the happiness and pains it comes with, but eventually you'll find "the one" and they will find You. 

Jumping at the trampoline park brought so many memories (in my journal I wrote this word with a green pen) of my childhood. Now that I'm 18, I forgot about my childhood. Descending and ascending on the trampolines made me remember about the times I would jump on my best friend's trampoline at her house while spending the night. I miss those days. Life goes by a lot faster than I thought. I remember when I would wish Oh, if I were 16... or Geez, I can't wait until I'm 18 so I can get away from here... I'm really glad I didn't take that too seriously because now I'm happy at where I'm at. I have food, a bed, plenty of pets, air conditioner (thank goodness, because it's like 90+ degrees). We might not have a lot of money, but we do have necessities. Be thankful!
