As you might have guessed, things are changing a bit around here. It's hard to believe that we've been blogging here for almost two years! Crazy! And it's really been wonderful. But we've decided that we have very different blog visions and a two-person setup isn't really the best anymore. Don't worry--we're still the best of friends! It's just that since we'll be moving to different cities next year, it'll be too difficult to continue doing a joint blog, and so we're both striking out on our own! We're both very excited about the new blogs and we hope you'll join us over there!<br />
<br />
You can find Charlotte over here at her new blog, <a href="http://charlotteinmotion.blogspot.com/">In Motion</a>, and Blythe over at her new blog, <a href="http://blytheinadaptation.blogspot.com/">In Adaptation</a>.<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for all your follows, comments, and just taking the time to read our blog. Every one has meant a lot.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">I'm so behind real life with this outfit! If I wore this now, I'd probably only be able to be outside for maybe three minutes! But anyway, I just had to mix patterns again with this white/light purple scarf and this shirt. I wear this shirt all the time, but up until this outfit, I don't think I had paired it with another pattern. I definitely will in the future!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">It's also weird to see these pictures because I still had full across bangs then! I've been growing them out and now they're just side bangs. I can't decide if I want to cut them and have them go straight across, again, though. I think I might do that in the fall right before school starts, but I haven't made up my mind yet. I still have all summer, though!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Hey, guys! As you all know, summer's here and I'd like to officially announce that I made my goal of not repeating a single school outfit! At least to the best of my knowledge and there was that <a href="http://allesmode2010.blogspot.com/2011/10/mistake.html">one little slip-up</a>. But yay! I wasn't able to take pictures of them all and they weren't all blog-worthy, but I did it! After this outfit, I have only one last combination to show you from school. But I have to say, it got seriously difficult around the end. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I've mentioned it before, but if I wear sweats, I try to make them into outfits, like this one, where I feel like they've still been put together well. For a couple of weeks, though, I had a really hard time because out of nowhere, I started having an allergic reaction to my laundry detergent! It took us a while to figure out what was going on, but after washing my clothes, they'd feel really prickly to me and itchy to the point where I couldn't wear them. For some reason, sweats and a few other clothes would be wearable, but it was always a bit of a gamble and roll of the dice to see what pieces would be okay every time I did laundry. Because of this, my wardrobe was severely limited and I have no idea how, but I still managed not to repeat outfits! That's also why there was a long break a month ago or so when there weren't many posts--all I could wear were sweats and old shirts! It was so incredibly frustrating to not know what was going on, but we finally got it all squared away! Yay!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

In my opinion, prom really was magical. The theme was old-fashioned circus, and even though a lot of people hated it, I though it was a great idea. I loved the venue, getting ready together with friends, dinner...but I do love cheesy stuff like that. We had a really great group and despite a little last minute stress (we forgot to make dinner reservations...thankfully we were able to make ones on our way to another restaurant!) it was amazing. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I had a little dress drama though, which I tweeted about, since on the Sunday before prom, I realized the dress I had bought in November wasn't going to work. It had an elastic waist, which was perfect for my metal allergy (meaning no zipper, which is hard to find in a prom dress), but the embellishments on the shoulders did have metal! We couldn't figure out what else to do with the shoulders on such short notice while still making the dress fancy enough and it was almost a foot too long. Because of all those reasons, I found myself desperately searching all websites I could think of looking for another dress. I randomly scrolled through Piperlime, and actually found two promising dresses! We ordered them and though the dress I ended up with did have a zipper (which was a rather unpleasant surprise...that detail was not on the website) my supermom was able to cut it out and replace it with another piece of fabric just in time! I wore the belt on top to make it a little more glamorous, and off I went to prom! Thankfully, we have a whole year to figure out what to do with my other dress, and I'm looking forward to wearing it my senior year. I also had to wear my tennis shoes to prom because my feet were really hurting that day, but since my dress was long, I don't think it was <i>as </i>noticeable. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">So that was prom! Crazy, but wonderful! How was yours?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">Ooof it's been a long time since my last outfit post, hasn't it? I'm sorry about that, but thanks for hanging in there. And thanks to all our new followers! It was such a sweet surprise, especially during a stressful time. The good news is, exams are over and summer has begun! The bad news...the ACT is on Saturday! I know, right? In my opinion, the ACT is harder than the SAT, so I'm working very hard to prepare. But I've put together a few more posts so I won't fall as behind again ;). Aaaaand a prom post should be heading your way soon! Yes, I know prom was about a month ago, but I'll post those soon! Prom really was glorious and I can't wait to share! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">This button down was at the top of my list when I discovered the possibility of borrowing clothes from my brother. I've really never been a gingham person, though. It usually just seems too <i>Little House on the Prairie</i>, and while I did love those books, I'm not crazy about how it translates into style and fashion. I even did a project in middle school about prairie fashion, which was really interesting, actually, but not something I want to add to my wardrobe. I just loved this bright green print, though, and wanted to make it a little less classic with the bow and belt. And I can't tell you how comfy and perfectly oversized it was! I have to admit, it's a little too warm to wear this outfit now, but I can't wait to find ways to work it into my summer outfits. But don't worry...I have already returned it!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I'm sorry that things continue to be so quiet over here. Things are really difficult right now, and so I'm not sure when I'll be able to post again. I'm still having some health problems, and with the flurry of work from the end of the school year, those two things need to be my top priority right now. I'll still post when I can! Thanks for hanging in there.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I'm happy to say Blythe and I survived Round One of final exam stress and we now have our IB Math Studies tests out of the way! We also both took the SAT last Saturday, so we're anxious to get all our of results back. Fortunately, we only have to wait about two and a half weeks to find out our SAT scores, but our IB test results don't come back to us until July! It's going to be hard to wait that long, but we sure have a lot to keep us busy! I'm feeling under the weather (again--seriously, this needs to stop) and we both have long end-of-the-year to-do lists, so I'm not sure when the next post will come. I really hate doing this, but thank you all so much for your patience!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">While taking pictures the other day, there were some workers in my neighbor's backyard, and the puppy was not happy about it! She's so sweet and protective, but I was definitely not expecting her to start barking when she did, hence the <a href="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx1v1b1BaE1r3qc5c.gif">turtle face</a>. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">As much as I hate to do this, I need to say that posts will be very scarce the next week or so. Blythe and I are both in the <a href="http://www.ibo.org/">IB</a> program at our school, and though we're both juniors, we're taking the senior level Math class. This means that we're taking our official IB final exam this year. The way final exams for IB work is you take tests during your senior year that test you over the past two years of high school. Without getting too in depth with the details of how each test counts specifically per student, all exams are part of a checklist that determines whether or not you get to graduate high school with an IB diploma (you'll still graduate high school even if you don't get the fancy diploma, but getting the diploma gives you a lot of college credit and is widely recognized around the world). This means that this test that we're taking next Thursday and Friday will partially determine if we get that special diploma or not. And we'd really, really like those diplomas. So we'll be studying a lot, especially because we're also trying to take the SAT next weekend, which will be the Saturday after our IB Math test. Needless to say, things'll be a little crazy. And school always has to come before the blog.

</div><div style="text-align: left;">My mom's had this shirt for absolutely forever and so I decided to borrow it. Okay, so it's not exactly a hand-me-down, but I definitely love wearing it. I used to wear my mom's shirts to sleep in when I was younger, but now that I'm older, they fit me well enough to wear in regular outfits! Borrowing clothes is now definitely my favorite way to get out of a style rut, so I've got my eyes on a few pieces from my family. Best part is, I don't have to pay anything! And it mixes up my outfits a little, which is nice since I only have about a month left before I make my goal of not repeating. So close!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I originally bought this scarf to tack up on a wall in my room, but when I was putting this outfit together, I just couldn't resist the sweet, multicolored tassels. I loved the little pops of color they added to my outfit, and so I can't wait to hang this scarf up above my bed. Putting my room together isn't my highest priority right now as the semester is ending, but it's one of the first things I'm planning on doing when summer starts. Though this might be my last year at home, I want to make sure my room is a space I like being in since I spend so much time in there. I've been keeping that goal in mind for a couple years now, and since then I've collected things that I think will help bring my room together. When I saw this scarf, I knew it was one of them! Especially because I just got this scarf, I'm just so excited to put it all together!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">When I found this dress, I had to wear it right away. It's just so perfect for spring and summer! Now that I think about it, though, it'll also work well paired with darker colors for winter and fall. How exciting that will be! Although I wouldn't mind if fall took it's time coming. There's no way I'm ready to be a senior! I know all I only talk about school and whatnot (sorry!!), but it's really crazy to become aware of how many major, junior-related things are suddenly due. And then whenever I catch myself wishing it'd be summer already, I remember something my mom said once. I was talking to her and saying how I wished it'd be Friday or Saturday or something, and she just said, "It's a little sad that you're wishing your life away like that." It's been years since then, but that's always stuck with me. So as much as I'd love it to be summer and just be done with exams and things like that, it's nice to remember that I really don't want the next month or so of my life to just disappear. But then I am freaking out about how much time has already passed, so things are a little crazy over here. I'm having a mid-high school crisis or something! I'm not ready for all this to be over, but at least I get to wear a cute dress while time flies by ;).</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">These pictures are from a while back (as are many of the pictures I still have to post), which is why the flowers and grass are so high. Even though both grow ridiculously fast now, we do cut them often! We're not slobs! But I do love the whimsy it gives Spring outfit pictures. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Anyway, I'm a little embarrassed to say that while I was sick for so long, I started watching <i>The Hills</i>. Yes, the cheesy, dramatic reality show from 2006 with Lauren Conrad. And it's just as ridiculous as everyone says. But it is a little...dare I say...good? I mean, not in any kind of stimulating, interesting, or educational way, but the clothes are sometimes pretty. Okay that sounds really superficial. But sometimes it's a little nice to take a break from school and critical essays and chi squared tests and just watch something a little stupid. And Lauren and a lot of the other girls have provided me with a little bit of outfit inspiration. In fact, this outfit was put together based off of one Lauren wore (in the fourth season, maybe? I don't remember), and I actually got quite a few compliments! So there's that. . .but it's still kind of embarrassing to admit that I watch it sometimes!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Isn't it crazy how fast these flowers grow? We cut the grass and then next thing we know, they're at it again! I'm always so surprised by how fast everything grows this time of year. And while it does mean we have to cut the grass a lot more, it is a little cute to see how persistent they are, especially because they're such pretty flowers. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Ever since I got these pants, I knew I wanted to pair them with this shirt just because the colors are so different. They're a little crazy together, though, so I threw the jacket on to even things out a bit. Even though I wasn't really sure about this shirt when I first found it, I'm liking it more and more, especially because of the length. It's not too long or too short, and it works perfectly as a tunic. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">-Charlotte </div><div style="text-align: left;">P.S. Can you believe the week is almost over? I'm always glad for the weekend, but it's just crazy how fast time goes. The school year has almost ended, too, and it's so bizarre! It feels like we should have another three months or so before summer, but the break will definitely be nice. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allesmode2010/7069265253/" title="009e by allesmode2010, on Flickr"><img alt="009e" height="480" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5276/7069265253_38c930d99c_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allesmode2010/7069264959/" title="007e by allesmode2010, on Flickr"><img alt="007e" height="480" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7230/7069264959_ff51cddfc7_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Blythe and Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11327404899470546798noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569764591184802142.post-82493362959254553482012-04-09T21:51:00.000-07:002012-04-09T21:51:07.081-07:00Tripod<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allesmode2010/6917283024/" title="025e by allesmode2010, on Flickr"><img alt="025e" height="480" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5194/6917283024_ef4870cc9d_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allesmode2010/6917282588/" title="018e by allesmode2010, on Flickr"><img alt="018e" height="480" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7059/6917282588_092774ab3e_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allesmode2010/7063364353/" title="008e by allesmode2010, on Flickr"><img alt="008e" height="480" src="http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5344/7063364353_287761bd09_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Top: Buffalo Exchange/ Cardigan: Gap/ Jeans: local store/ Scarf: H&M/ Shoes: UO/ Bag: Old Navy/ Headband: Vintage scarf</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I'd never used a tripod until this day, and it was so easy and convenient, although some of these pictures turned out just a tad on the awkward side. I'm getting there!

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I'm sad to report that these lovely flowers have closed up and left for the year. It seems that the strangely warm temperatures were too much for them! Which is quite disappointing because having bright yellow flowers in your backyard is the perfect beginning to your day...or outfit posts. I'll miss you, honeysuckle. I'll see you next year!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">As we speak, I'm getting ready to go on my second ever college visit trip. It's a bit unnerving to think I don't have that much time left at home, but I'm so excited about what lies ahead! We've started looking at colleges nearby that are (relatively) within driving distance and there are some amazing ones on our list. I have to say, though, I'm pretty excited about the college visit I have tomorrow--I've heard so many good things about that school (especially from my dad's friend's son, who's an alumni) and they seem to have incredible programs for the majors I'm interested in! </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">-Charlotte</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">P.S. When you first visited/arrived at the campus of the college you went to, did you have that <i>feeling</i>? I'm hearing a lot about this sense that people have where somehow, they just know that this college is where they're meant to be! Did you experience that? I haven't had that feeling yet, but I've only been on one college visit day so far, so it's to be expected. From the people I've talked to, they either think that idea of the feeling you get is complete nonsense or they experienced it themselves and swear by it! What do you think?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allesmode2010/6891234430/" title="010e by allesmode2010, on Flickr"><img alt="010e" height="480" src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6042/6891234430_c0522ee66f_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allesmode2010/6891234164/" title="011e by allesmode2010, on Flickr"><img alt="011e" height="480" src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7099/6891234164_f5349a93c3_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Blythe and Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11327404899470546798noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-569764591184802142.post-42352910182894653242012-04-03T10:38:00.006-07:002012-04-03T10:38:00.624-07:00Oh No No's<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allesmode2010/7037320225/" title="027e by allesmode2010, on Flickr"><img alt="027e" height="480" src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6051/7037320225_ba25cce204_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allesmode2010/7037321439/" title="032e by allesmode2010, on Flickr"><img alt="032e" height="480" src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6110/7037321439_cfddff647b_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Jeans: local store/ Shoes: UO/ Sweater: H&M/ Vest: Nordstrom/ Scarf: Vintage</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">As I was putting this post together, I realized that I combined three things I always try to avoid--pink and green, red and green, and hair bows around a ponytail/bun. They're kinda on my "oh no no" list. Well, okay, so I've done the <a href="http://allesmode2010.blogspot.com/2011/06/new-bags-and-weather.html">first</a> <a href="http://allesmode2010.blogspot.com/2011/10/risk.html">two</a> before (I look so much younger in the first picture of the first link!), but it's always a bit weird to me when I do it. Pink and green often seems a little cheesy and little-girlish, and red and green reminds me of Christmas and terrible sweaters. I know these color combinations can look much different from the outfits I associate with them, but they still weird me out for some reason! But anyway, without realizing it, I included both those color combinations in this outfit. The hair bows I avoid for another reason. When I was in middle school, it was really cool to buy ribbon from craft stores and tie them around your pony tail--but they also had to be color coordinated with your outfit! I had many in pink, blue, and white, and lots of patterned ones, too! I've avoided wearing a hair bow like that since middle school ended, but I have to admit, I kinda like it again now. But don't worry, I'm not going to break out the Aeropostale logo shirts any time soon. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">This outfit seems oddly familiar. I may have worn it before, but I'm not sure. If I have, I'm sorry! I really hope I haven't so I can continue my "no repeating" year because I never thought I'd make it this far. I'm usually pretty good at remembering what I've worn, though. For some reason, once I've worn two items (like a shirt and cardigan) together, little alarm bells go off in my head when I put them together again. Okay, not exactly alarm bells, but more like little voices saying, "Hang on, you've worn this before." </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Alrighty, now that we've established that I hear voices and am losing my memory, I think I'm going to go.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Compared to a lot of my other outfits, this one is pretty basic. Whenever I'm having trouble coming up with outfits, simple outfits are a nice fallback, especially since I don't wear them often. I have to confess, though, I sometimes feel a little silly posting outfits like this because they don't seem "good" enough. But this is really what I wear, and I think that's good to show. Granted, I don't post every outfit I wear, but I think it's important to show the range of what I wear!<br />
<br />
Thanks for hanging in there, guys, as I'm still having a hard time getting back to posting regularly. I'm still hoping I can get back into the swing of things soon! I have to say, I miss my usual, not-sick routine. I'm just glad I had extra outfit photos so I do still have stuff to post!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I just can't seem to shake this sickness I've come down with! I feel bad that it's been so long since I've posted, but my health has had to be my first priority. Hopefully I can slowly get back to posting, though!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">But anyway, it's officially Spring, so I thought these pictures with these flowers were appropriate. They popped up practically overnight, so I knew I had to take outfit pictures with them before they were quickly mowed down ;) Isn't it crazy how tall they are? They just came out of nowhere!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">For whatever reason, I always see guys in movies do this weird jacket double up where they'll wear a hoodie with another jacket on top. Maybe it's because I've grown up in the South (that's definitely it), but I've only seen someone do that in real life once. I mean, I've seen a hoodie and a big winter jacket on top, but this combination? Never. For whatever reason, I always think of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0814255/">Percy Jackson & the Olympians</a> when I think of this jacket thing. That's the one movie I had a <a href="http://www.imdb.com/media/rm711492864/tt0814255">definite memory of seeing the jacket thing in</a>, but I know I saw it before that too. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Anyway, all that rambling to say I decided to try it out myself! I saw a girl in my English class pull it off much better than I did (with more of a winter jacket and a real hoodie), but it was fun to try this out. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Also, as crazy as it seems, Spring is officially here! I know it's true for two reasons. One, the honeysuckle in my backyard is in bloom! I totally adore these flowers, and they smell amazing! But also, my yard has suddenly become covered in ant piles. So outfit pictures are a little tricky now, to say the least. I'm not exaggerating in the slightest when I say there's not even a foot between all the ant piles. That's how many there are and how close together they are! It's crazy!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I'm feeling a bit better (these pictures are from about two weeks ago), but not completely, so posting might be a little scattered again this week. I wasn't even well enough to take the SAT last weekend, which was incredibly frustrating, so I'm really trying to just get better right now. Sorry about that!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Here's another lovely, stylish video I found for you all! I love everything about this video, though it almost makes me feel a little claustrophobic. The idea of all those doors is a bit creepy, isn't it? Like a commenter on Vimeo said, "it's like a trippy, beautiful nightmare." But, of course, the clothes are gorgeous, too. I mean, I'm impressed, both by her rust jacket and orangeish shirt combination and her ability to climb over nightmare doors in those stunning heels. I also love how both the boy and girl are wearing blazers, but they look so completely different! What do you think?</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Hello, everyone! I've been rather under the weather the last week or so, which means I have piles of work to make up <i>and</i> the SAT to prepare for since I'm taking that on Saturday. EEEeek! Trying not to stress too much. I'm not sure if I'll be able to post an outfit this week, but I hopefully will be able to on Sunday. But for now (and I'll try to post again this week, just not an outfit of my own--like this post), enjoy this video. The music is really lovely, but I wanted to share it with you guys because of the styling. Both of these lovely characters have some really perfect outfits, such as Helen's gorgeous cape and hat (I'm incredibly jealous of her hair, by the way) and her man's sweater and plaid shirt combo. Hope you enjoy it!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Another simple outfit! This shirt is actually my brother's (don't worry--I got permission ;), but as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to try to style it for myself. I originally planned on wearing my yellow skirt with it, but I wasn't really in the mood to wear a skirt that day, so I went with jeans. I might have to try that skirt some day, though. The guys' cut of the shirt was a bit of a challenge, I have to say. The collar was much higher than the shirts I normally wear and the sleeves didn't really fit at all, hence the jacket. Even so, I'm looking forward to styling it again, and there are even some other shirts in my little brother's closet that I've been meaning to try out as well. It should be an interesting challenge!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
