this is the third time ive posted the beauty advice so here's hoping!

I chose this quote today because I feel that beauty is all based on the person looking in. For example, if a passerby looks at a magazine rack in the U.S., it is most likely to see the "california girl" as I like to call it. (and in no way is that meant to be a Katy Perry reference)
Anyways, it's a girl who is very slim, maybe too much for her own good, with bleach blonde hair and tan skin, as if she spends every waking hour of her existence at the beach. Now if we go to somewhere else, I'm going to say Mexico just as an example, they have full-figured women with mostly dark brown hair.
Now some American women (although I don't agree with them) will think "Why is she on the magazine cover? She obviously eats carbs!" And vice versa with women in Mexico.
What my point is here after that horribly long rant is that what beauty is to one culture, could be absolutely different to another. It all depends on the culture, heritage, and background of the society. What really matters is your personality.
now im hoping this post came through to you guys!

Ahhh Friends....

They make everyday so much better. Which is why I love this photo so much. We took this a couple days ago on 'Decades Day' for spirit week at our high school. Our class was obviously the 1950s. And we definitely put some effort into dressing up! I love that we had this day because I wish we could dress like this all the time. I love the 1950s time period for many reasons, but mostly because of the fashion. I actually made the skirt that I am wearing (3rd in from the right, in the white button up and skirt) from one of my grandmother's patterns she used to use for her skirts when she was young. You can also see quite the characters here, which also translates into another reason I love fashion. You get to be a different person everyday! That is my motto for the clothes I wear. I can seem like a totally different person everyday from just the way I dress. Anyways, this is my first posting and I'm new to the whole blogging thing, so please bear with me and I will improve! I'll try to get the other pictures we took that day up I'm just waiting for my friend to upload them! I will try to post pictures of my outfits as often as I can, but with the heaviest possible class load for a sophomore, I am usually caught up with school! But I will try my darndest to keep some sort of regularity with posts! Thanks for reading!
