Hello!
Thank you for all your supportive comments on my last post! I'm actually kinda excited and anxious now to start the 21 for 21 challenge! I'm pretty optimistic and think I can complete it. My only concern is how long it could be dragged on with my hectic schedule. 21 outfit posts could take months at the rate I'm blogging now. So I guess this is good not only for teaching me the value of clothes, but also kinda forcing me to manage my time. I'll take a photo of my 21 items on Tuesday night or Wednesday morning.
Today was a really good day! After class, I went looking for Robert in the student center which is like three-stories. So while I was wandering around cursing at AT&T for having such horrible reception, I found $20! Well not found per se, a guy in front of me dropped it. And I really did try to give it back to him, but he must've not have heard me or thought I was crazy. So I just took it and continued my search for Robert. Once I found him, we got lunch and then made a surprise trip to the mall. I made off with two dresses--one of which I will use as one of my 21 items. Thank you strange man for not wanting your 20 back.
After shopping, we bought some Chinese take-out and headed to a nearby park and had a little picnic. We were supposed to head to the beach after that to catch the sunset and take outfit photos, but it was way too cold so I proposed we take them at the gazebo where we were supposed to have our first kiss. Yes, supposed to. After a week of dating, I was getting impatient about not having had kissed yet. While watching the sunset from this gazebo, I thought it'd be the perfect setting to have our first kiss take place and was so grumpy when it didn't. I wanted him to kiss me. When I walked him home (neither of us had our licenses yet back then), I was so upset. So when we said our goodbyes, I stormed off, but then he grabbed my arm and pulled me into our first kiss/my first kiss ever. And then I skipped all my way home while my iPod randomly shuffled to Little Mermaid's "Kiss the Girl." Hehe. Oh memories...
We had planned on watching a movie on Robert's macbook at the beach but since it was too cold we decided to park at my old elementary school and watch the movie in the back of his car--sorta like a mini-drive in. We watched Hot Tub Time Machine which was really funny! Definitely a great way to end a wonderful day. This day was much needed! I'm still bitter about the weather though. I almost wore tights again today.
Nothing about my outfit is new today and it feels good. Except the red bow that I got two days ago, which I am obsessed with. I've worn it everyday since I got it and will probably wear it again tomorrow. I'm definitely going to browse through Etsy real quick for some more before my shopping ban is imposed!
I'm so excited for tomorrow! I'm visiting the daycare where I interned at to return some books I borrowed. I've missed the little ones so much! It's also payday! And "Despicable Me" comes out tomorrow--definitely going to watch that before work at 6. I'm also excited to have my first Saturday off in a long time.
Until next post,
Jasmine
outfit: gray cardigan, belt -- uo; dress, floral flats -- f21; clock locket -- ae; red bow -- etsy
aww i love your little memory story, its so cute! great outfit too. im excited to see which items you choose for the challenge!
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit. The color combination, the simplicity compliment and flatter you really well :) I love how you placed an accent using a belt and that neck piece. It's good that you wore those floral flats (which I really like and wish to have, haha) and bow which give a nice pop and contrast. ^__^
ReplyDeleteWow. It was your lucky day for those 20bucks! Nice location ^__^ Very romantic! Good luck on the challenge! I find it inspiring too. :)
hearts,

The little gazebo looks so cute overlooking the water, it would have been a perfect place for a first kiss. Thats a cute story.
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit, I love simplicity.
GOSH this is the cutest thing ever. You look amazing- you look so happy and at peace :) I love your bow!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't kiss at the gazebo because you were looking at me all expecting it when I wanted it to be more of a surprise and memorable. And, besides, under the street lamp at night is a better place to do it anyways, i think.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute story, Jasmine! Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm loving this outfit. It's stripeless! So proud of you.
I can't believe it's cold over there. I always think of California as a warm place. It was 100 today and I was loving it! I think I must have some reptile in me. :P
ahhh jasmine you are the cutest thing ever with your first kiss story. i can just imagine you being all grumpy because he didn't kiss you in the gazebo. :P
ReplyDeletei'm loving this outfit though. that belt is awesome with the way that it clasps or whatever the word is! i can't wait to see the 21 items you pick! i'm about to go reply to your email now :)
Aww such a sweet story Jasmine! Thanks for sharing! I've always thought gazebos were so romantic, probably from "The Sound of Music" or something. Your pictures are lovely here, I love the last shot of the gazebo by the lake! You're also so adorable here (I mean you always are, but here especially!); cute outfit, I love the cardigan and the belt especially!
ReplyDeleteAhh, that dress is so cute! And I love the combination of the blue and gray :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, your first kiss story is so adorable!
This is beyond gorgeous hun, you are such a sweetie pie!!! Love your dress too!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY FRIDAY XX
You are so so cute. And your UO flats are to DIE FOR
ReplyDeletelucky girl!! :) excited to see what you bought with the $20 hehe. And I love your 1st kiss story. So romantic!:)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute outfit! How awesome that you found $20! One time I left the bank to find money flying all over the parking lot...not a soul in site...so that was my lucky day:) I think I spent it on something boring though, like groceries:( haha
ReplyDeleteAnd the first kiss story is the cutest thing ever!
How perfect are you guys and that day WOW. SO CUTE!!!
ReplyDeletewonderful story. i love hearing those type of memories!! i am excited for your 21x21 challenge..i'm on day 5 out of 30!! it's actually not as bad as i thought it would be..i'm realizing i can do so much with 30 pieces of clothing!!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWOW you and your boyfriend look alike!! You seem a perfect sweet couple, it makes me yearrrnn for my boyfriend..
ReplyDeleteAnd you look so pretty with that dress, I love all of your belts! too bad we don't have any of the shops where you get them here :(
I'm looking forward to your 21 to 21 challenge. I don't post so often my outfits ( cause i dont like to take my own pics ahah) but I've seen a pattern, in mostly all the blog I follow, of buying and buying and so less or none remixing when my reality is remix-remix-remix ahhha I know it might be my reality and not everyone's but it feel more real to remix items than to always show new ones. That's my opinion anyway.
Keep up the good work in your blog, I love to read it!
Awww, you guys are so cute! :D <33
ReplyDeleteI love the blue dress, so pretty. And I can't wait to see your challenge.. I think I might do that after I buy some last things with my recent paycheck, ehehehee. > w>
You look so cute in that outfit and the setting for the photos is adorable (it would have been a great place for a first kiss).
ReplyDeleteHot tub time machine is soo funny, defintely a great way to end a lovely day!
Cutest outfit, I love that cardi (i cant seem something like that for myself) and the necklace is gorgeousness!
ReplyDeleteAww your first kiss story is so sweet! How long have you been together? I really like this outfit too, I love blue, grey and red together. Lovely photos, you look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am so proud that you finally took some pictures by the lake out in the open for everyone to see. After you do it once it's not so bad right?
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I think your 21 for 21 idea is absolutely amazing and I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Haha, cute story. :) And cute outfit to go with it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your 21 for 21 challenge!

Aww that is so sweet Jazzy! And, haha, I can totally relate. I'd been dating my now-boyfriend for like 3 weeks then...and he still wouldn't kiss me! I remember texting my best friend after each of my dates and I'd tell her "This boy is so frustrating!". Lol. It actually made me start acting a bit weird around him and I think he took the hint because he suddenly kissed me while we were having pizza at some random restaurant! Hah. It's funny to look back and remember these things. They never fail to make you smile, no? (:
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your outfit (I always do) -- it's so pretty! I am totally diggin' the blue-and-gray combo going around blogs right now...
u're so beautiful in those outfit... love ur dress and ur flats so muchhhh
ReplyDeletebeauty!!
ReplyDeleteluces muy bonita :D

ReplyDeleteOh the story behind your first kiss melts my cold heart :') I miss those dating days and the butterflies in my stomach. You're such a romantic girl ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat date outfit, Jasmine! Who says you have to wear pink to go on a date? You wore blue and gray and you looked girly and beautiful :) Robert is one lucky guy ;) ;)
