Searching the world for what's right here

Today was a happy day.
This morning I found my lost flower ring, in the pocket of the cardigan I had on last time I wore the ring. I love that I crawled around the floor with a flashlight and a yard stick without ever once thinking to check there.
Then I saw that la fille d'or gave me an award.
Then I came home and saw that my pre-shopping ban F21 package had arrived.
Then I got free ice cream at Ben and Jerry's, since it was free cone day. Coffee Coffee Buzz Buzz is awesome.
Even though it was nonstop rain all day and I had to take photos inside, tomorrow promises sun again!

For my Forever 21 purchases, I thought I could show you model vs reality.

Pocket Front Knit Skirt, $9.80 - Lucky Mag made me suddenly feel the need to get a bright pink skirt. And Now that I look at Forever 21's web site, I think this skirt was from the kids section (since when do they even have a kids section??). Either way, this skirt is quite short!

Cropped Knit Cardigan, $14.90 - This was the most expensive item I got, and I don't know that it's really worth it. "Great for layering" actually means tissue thin!

 Eternity Knot Belt, $8.80 - I've been wanting one of these ever since I used one in an Outfit Under $100 post. 

Jewel Anchor Necklace, $5.80 - If you didn't notice this before, you will now: When I find an accessory I like, I tend to keep buying different versions of it, which is why I have three layered chain necklaces, three bird necklaces, and three pairs of fireball earrings. So now I have two anchor necklaces.

I also got a pair of sheer black dot tights, since I feel like everyone else has them and I was getting jealous!

So, for the Sugar Doll Award, I have to share ten things about myself. Well...
(1)My job occasionally requires me to be a hand model. Mostly for instruction manuals, but I'm in the catalog too.
(2)In high school I found out about Final Fantasy and soon became an addict. (3)Eight is my all time favorite, because I am a huge romantic, but Ten has the best costumes.
(4)Of course when I found out that there were such things as anime conventions where people dressed up as Final Fantasy characters (among others) I started making costumes. (5)I have 20, and have won three awards.
(6)I have never moved.
(7)I love the ocean, but don't really like the beach.
(8)In movies, I cry more if a dog dies than a person.
(9)I believe there is more good in the world than bad, and that most people really do want to be kind and considerate and helpful, even to a complete stranger. (10)I really love photography, and want so badly to become very good at it.
