Graduation and validation.

My husband and I have started a Monday night tradition where we go get frozen yogurt from our favorite joint here in Logan. I am obsessed. Last night I got cake batter frozen yogurt with cookie dough, cheesecake bites, snickers, and hot fudge. Sometimes I get fruit and granola and other healthy stuff. So don’t judge me. The calorie-filled treat was definitely well deserved. And delicious.

Something else well deserved? Big, HUGE congratulations to W for graduating from college in a couple weeks! She has worked SO hard! We are going to celebrate so much, and I am planning the most amazing gift basket for her. Everyone give her a shout out if you can. And congrats to all you other graduates!

Last year before my graduation I planned my outfit for like 2 months, which is totally ridiculous since it was covered by a gown the whole day. But I couldn’t help it. If any of you are doing the same, please let me know. I love me some validation.

And while you are at it, go ahead and validate me in regards to this outfit, which includes another one of those homemade-ish skirts we love, a chunky necklace, and colored shoes with black tights.

{shirt: 4.50 thrifted, necklace: 9.00 kohls, skirt: 6.50 ROSS (formerly a dress), shoes: 6.75 Target}


I will now return the favor by validating you. Here goes: You are ridiculously attractive! Your outfit is fabulous! You are going to be awesome at your presentation/test/first date/etc today! You are a wonderful human being!!!!

It feels good doesn't it?
Have a fabulous Tuesday.

  4. I like this outfit. I really want to do the whole "cut up a dress and make it a skirt" thing soon. Have you ever used the top for anything? Just curious.

    Also, I was one of those people who didn't plan their outfit for months in advance for graduation because my mind was crazy. But I do that for other things, like my friends wedding this weekend... so there is my validation!

  11. I'm not good at thinking ahead, so when I say I planned my graduation outfit for at least three weeks, you should feel VERY VERY validated.

    Also, I have been looking for good dress candidates for the process referenced above, but have not found any as of yet. You guys are way better at that than am I.

    Yay validation party!

  12. CONGRATS! I love graduating and graduations! *lol*

    And I totally planned my outfit, too, and even styled my hair for optimum display with the mortarboard. Just gotta make sure you take plenty of pictures before the gown goes on!

    Your tradition of frozen yogurt sounds so sweet, and no judgment here, i kinda binged this weekend with my sister and her husband.

    Love the outfit and great necklace :)

  14. hey I've been reading your blog for awhile now and somehow failed to realize you're in Logan. I'm here too! I'm just going to school, set to graduate this year actually, but I'm originally from Southern California. Anyway, I was also wondering what frozen yogurt place you go to because I've been wanting to try a good one! :)
