Winter White

















Vest: Marshalls (similar here) | Chambray Shirt: Target | Ruffle top: Forever 21 (old) |
 White Jeans: Zara | Boots: Steve Madden | Clutch: Target | Watch: Michael Kors |
Bracelets: Forever 21, Derng


I know I have said this before, but white is probably my favorite color to wear- especially winter white!! I have also ranted how everyone needs a fur vest, but a white one=even better!

 So, I have to admit, I have a phobia (no it's not running into my ex looking like complete crap, been there, done that) , I have a HUGE phobia of needles- no really, I will avoid them at all costs! I would rather be miserably sick for days waiting for my antibiotics to kick in rather than get a quick shot. In order to start grad school next week I was required to get a meningitis shot, of course I put it off as long as possible in complete terror of what was to come. Well everyone, today was the day- I could barley sleep at all last night I was so anxious. All day today my hands were sweating, my body was shaking, I was so stressed thinking about what was to come that I couldn't eat, or think about anything other than an extra long sharp object tearing into my arm burning as it went through my body. A little dramatic you say? YES. I am 23 years old and forced my mom and sister to go with me for support, when in reality they were just making fun of how ridiculous I was acting, I kid you not I was almost in tears. I could not even make eye contact with doctor, eyes closed tight I look back over, and it was DONE!
I am serious, I did not feel a thing- so I am feeling like a complete idiot right now for freaking out and literally letting this consume my whole day! On that note, I rewarded myself by eating a whole medium pizza and watching some ridiculous girls on the Bachelor! Although in order to make me feel a little better, somebody PLEASE tell me I am not alone on this crazy phobia of mine! 

Once again, as I bragged in my last post- thank you so much Kayla, of You're my Lobster Photography for taking these great pictures- you are so fabulous! Check out Kayla's Facebook page here, she has some amazing work!

  3. this outfit is so cute against the red barn! you're def not alone in your needle fear. the first time i had blood drawn (erm, like 3 years ago?) a screamed and cried and then wouldn't take the band aid off because i thought all my blood was going to fall out. dramatic much? not even.
    anyway, you're very brave because that meningitis one is a killer.

  7. Girl let me tell you a wee little story. There once was a 23-year-old woman child who forced her mom to go to every blood-drawing/shot-giving doctor's appointment with her and actually screamed louder than the 5-year-old boy who had to get a shot right before her. The nurse may or may not have offered to let the 23-year-old play with the same fire truck as the 5-year-old. Everyone in the waiting room may or may not have commented that the 23-year-old screamed louder than the 5-year-old.

    Obvi this is not a story about me, I'm 24 now.... yeesh. ;) Glad you survived!!!
