The End Is Near

OUTFIT TWO:

Dress- Kensie @ Lord and Taylor | Shoes- Marshalls | Necklace- Lucid NYC | Earrings- Forever 21 | Watch- c/o Daniel Wellington

With less than 2 weeks until my high school graduation, I've been getting to go to lots of great events. And lots of lasts--this is the beginning of the end.

The first outfit is a scholarship luncheon I attended for the Florence Bell Hillier Memorial Scholarship I am honored to have received. It's given to a local high school student and I am so grateful to have been selected.

The second outfit is for my school's Senior Awards ceremony. I wore orange--(BECAUSE I LOVE UVA) and won the English Writing Award and the Art Purchase Award (the school bought my photography!). I was also inducted into the Cum Laude Society.

It's hard to look back on these last four years with any regrets. As graduation approaches I've been doing a lot of reflecting. For so long I've been so anxious to leave home, to leave high school, to get out of the house--because I am so incredibly excited for college. But I've also wondered if it's because I don't like it where I am.

Looking back now, reflecting on these past four years, I don't regret any of it. Yes, the school I go to is competitive and tiring and extremely hard at times. But if it weren't these things, I wouldn't be the person I am today. I am so happy where I am right now and where I'm heading, and I have only my past and the things that have shaped me to thank for that.

Without my family, my friends, my experiences, and the school I've at times ached to get out of, I wouldn't be this Rory. I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything.

I am more than content--I am happy.

Repeat Offender

I am, shamelessly, a repeat outfit offender. Down to the shoes, belt, and jewelry. Everything is EXACTLY the same. Sometimes when you really like an outfit, you've gotta give it love more than once, ya know?

(in case you forgot, I put this exact outfit up a few weeks ago. I did take new pictures this time, so you might not have noticed!) :)

Snow in Boots

I can't believe this is the first time these boots have appeared on my blog...but they have an interesting back story I'll share with you! So in December, my mom came home with these boots and I was all "WOW those are so nice!!" The only problem is that they were in her size, and we do not have the same size feet.
All month long I watched my mom wear them nearly every day and with any outfit. Despite having probably 10 pairs of black boots already, I couldn't seem to match them with my outfits the same way my mom wore these boots.
Fast forward a few weeks to the beginning of January. I received a pair of boots for Christmas, but they were ones I didn't really like so we returned them. One afternoon, my mom came home and said "Rory, I have a surprise for you!" and voila, there were these boots, in my size this time!!!
I've worn them, in the month I've had them, probably 20 out of the 30 days. I've never worn a pair of shoes so much before. My only concern right now is finding a way to wear these once warmer months roll around....I'll find a way, just wait... :)
In another news, I've been so busy/lazy lately that I've resorted to online shopping. Something I never do! But with good shipping deals, or just super good prices anyway, I've found it can't be beat. Recently, I've been scoping out patterned leggings on Forever 21, the perfect-for-any-occasion dresses by the brand Garage (they also have some seriously cute skirts), and naturally, more boots, from Macy's. Also, TJ Maxx and Marshall's have online shopping now?!?!? SAY WHAT?!!? (My life just got infinitely better).
