Fun times~



Top: Forever 21
Jeans: Kohl's
Boots: Kohl's
Necklace: Deaf Expo

The Top here is something I actually just recently acquired.  I was "browsing" forever 21 when i stumbled across it.  I'm usually pretty picky with my clothes I get there, since a lot of their stuff can be made rather poorly.  My favorite part of this piece is the necklace and there is actually a little story behind how I got it.

Its been a while now, but some time ago I was taking sign language courses; one of the requirements in those classes is attending some kind of deaf event.  Because of that I chose to go to the deaf expo. Its a big event with lots of different features and booths. I was browsing the booths with my mother (who happens to be hard of hearing) when I stumbled across this necklace.  It was made by a Japanese couple who were deaf.  It was really fun signing with them in ASL and talking about the Japanese language because at that same time I was just starting to take Japanese classes as well.  It was definitely the highlight of the event, and the necklace has become one of my favorites.  :)

Also just because I was out with the dog while taking pictures, here's a little up close picture of her.  Her name is Kelly- though half the time we call her Kelly Bean- or "The Bean."  She's all muscle and quite the little bully unfortunately.  But She can be sweet when she wants to be.... usually with my dad only though, he's her favorite.
