Weekly Wears: Locked Up At School

Before I start the outfit part of this post, I'd just like to give each and every one of you a hug for your sweet comments on Hope's post.  You all are so supportive it makes me want to cry happy tears.  For those of you who have asked, yes she wrote the whole post.  She writes it in her notebook for me and I type it out word-for-word, 8 year old mistakes and all.  ;)  I'm letting her read the comments to her posts after I do a little sifting (and possibly weeding), so she gets the encouragement but doesn't have to see the ugly side of blogging quite yet.  She's a little girl, and just like all little ones is still very sensitive and impressionable.

So, here's a fun story:

While driving around looking for pretty places to shoot outfit pictures, we happened upon this beautiful, old school.  We made our way through the gate, around to the back, and found a nice location.  We did our thing, hopped back in the car (this was 5 minutes at the most), and as we drove around the front noticed that the front gate had been locked.  Uhhhhhh... we took our little car and drove ANY path we could find.  It didn't help.  WE WERE TRAPPED!  Seriously, we were there for almost 3 hours before someone finally came to unlock the gate!  It was ridiculous.  I repeat:  RIDICULOUS.  We did make it out, though, and on the way home Johnny said, "I sure hope those pictures turn out."  Yeah, bud... me, too.  ;)

Dress:  old UO

Tank:  old Abercrombie

Head Thingie:  handmade

Necklace:  handmade

Shoes:  Aldo

I won't comment on whether this is my favorite outfit post or not (it's not), but the pictures weren't blacked out, so by-golly I'm using them!  A labor of love, I tell you.  ;)

Really, it's a funny story and could've been a lot worse.  No one in my family got mad at me for being there, the police were really nice, and afterward I got a pretzel.  Not too shabby.  ;))
