Family Reunion

Okay, so I actually have motivation to post an outfit on here instead of doing old ones. This past week has been extremely busy. I halfway moved into my apartment Sunday night, Monday I moved in some more, Tuesday I left for a work trip and worked up until Thursday night where I drove and arrived home at 1am. After that, it's just been moving into my apartment some more and making it more homely. Things have just been crazy! So it's a wonder that I had the energy to dress cute for my familie's reunion

Dress-Ross, Belt-Charlotte Russe, Earrings-Chanel, Sandals-American Eagle, Bag (in background)-TJ Maxx

This dress is absolutely one of my favorites. It's super cute. I found it on sale at Ross for like 12 bucks so I had to buy it. It looks great with cowboy boots, flip flops, and even high heels. I got a lot of compliments on it today at the reunion, even though my family isn't what you'd call "fashionable".

In with the Old

So I figured while I'm having a hard time starting up my current clothing choices, there is no reason I can't go back in time a little bit. I've decided to recap some of my better outfits from school (not from the t-shirt and yoga pants months). Some stuff is borrowed, some is new, some is mine from a very long time. I just think it's important to get fashion up and rolling here.

This is a picture of my good friend Liz and I from school one night before we went out. Three of us decided to check out this trendy restaurant downtown called Clementine. It's pretty cool and modern. The inside is painted with very abstract art and they have a lot of local shows there. The food is an update of common dishes, like a turkey club or pasta. My outfit here is (I'm the blonde one) swing cardigan-Express, leggings-Old Navy, white top-Forever21, belt-Charlotte Russe, and boots-Madden Girl from Zappos.
Another cute outfit from this year (and probably one of my bolder moments) was when I attended a debate team party with strep throat. Though I was not able to partake in the festivities that night, opting to sitting on a couch drinking water instead, I was able to get dressed up cute and rock some fiery red lipstick! I was really inspired by Liz Lee from My Life as Liz on MTV. My outfit here is (blonde in grey vest) vest- Forever 21, t-shirt- Old Navy, tank (underneath)-Aeropostale, jeans-Hollister, moccasins (not pictured)-Mossimo by Target.Uploading this picture, I realized it was labeled Aussie. My friend (soon to be boyfriend, then ex boyfriend) on the team brought about a dozen Australian students visiting the United States for Model United Nations to the party with us. Before taking shots, they would chant "Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oy! Oy! Oy!" loudly to get everyone fired up. This is Ogy (pronounced Ahh-gee) after one of the chants drinking.
Finally, here are all the girls of the team hanging out, minus a few people. It turned out to be a pretty good night with some pretty crazy stories! [:

I'm out.

Still Working on It

So....I'm still working on getting the blog up and running. It seems that my daily life consists of working at the pool and working out at the gym and then napping or cleaning my room. Nothing too glamorous that needs to be documented on a blog.

I'm working on getting some motivation back to get in the gym and drop 5lbs before the beach in 3 weeks, so hopefully that gives me some extra motivation to dress cute and start blogging.

First Blog

So this is Magnet Blonde and the Golden Priority. I've been really inspired lately to do a "What I Wore" blog, so I thought I'd start one. But what no one ever tells you is that choosing a name for your blog is probably the hardest part of actually creating one. So I got online and Googled tons of "blog name ideas" and "fashion blog ideas" and basically ended up landing on a band name generator....which gave me the name "Magnet Blonde and the Golden Priority". I think it's fitting. We'll just pretend that the "Golden Priority" is fashion and writing, basically whatever I decide to put into this blog I guess.

My goals with this blog are simple: To document what I'm wearing when I'm wearing cute outfits.....and to try and prove to myself I can keep a blog.

Wish me luck! [:
