weekly wrap-up #12

i hope that you all had a good week!

reading // don quixote // i was jane austen's best friend {finished} // tess of the d'urbervilles //

listening to // allstate music // the gaither vocal band //

crafting // fingerless gloves // this belt //

enjoyed //attending a friend's graduation ceremony and party // singing at allstate {we rehearsed for seven hours on thursday and frieday and two on saturday plus the concert - i had a sore throat after the concert and it's lasted until today} // having an end-of-the-year Bible study party // getting some lovely bokeh // drinking tea and eating soup // 

i am joining lily in a 30 day hair challenge. since i just got my hair cut this really will be a challenge! i am going to try and take photos of my hairstyles every day and post once a week. here is my hair today:

what have you done this week?

what i wore // fishtail

skirt // gift {tj maxx, maybe?}

shirt // marden's

jacket // hand-me-down

black dress shoes // kohl's

so, i love this skirt. it is floor length, full, has "good spinners", as my little sisters would say, and has cool patterns on it. i call it my hippie skirt. it's actually so long that at school that when i go up or down the stairs i have to gather it up in my hands so that no one behind me steps on it.

sitting on and jumping off of broken swingset = lots of fun.

i finally figured out how to make a fishtail look good. pardon the windblown look in these photos - this was near the end of the day.

do you know how to fishtail?

happy wednesday, everyone!
