Outfit 1

Just a quick post! I still haven't finished taking pictures and I'm going to the beach soon so I'm going to just post one today.

The floral top was from Plato's Closet. The jean jacket was from Target, the black leggings from Black & White. The necklace is my Harry Potter time turner which I've worn in many other outfits. I got it from universal studios. I just sort of wanted to wear it that day so I put it on :)

That's all for today, if you have questions comment!

 

Update

Hey twisty-girls!
I'm currently working on a clothing post but those take a long time to do since I have to take pictures and them upload them. Just wanted to give the heads up that a new post will come soon. This has NOTHING to do with scoliosis or fashion but I thought this was funny. I was just looking through my blog stats and blog lists when I suddenly thought of my first blog. Believe it or not, this is my second blog. My first blog I made when I was younger, two or three years ago. I thought it was the coolest thing to have a blog. I thought I would share the link with you:
http://lifeissweet.blogger.com <-----------
I don't even know, I thought it was funny looking through my old posts. Half don't even make sense.
Yeah...that's pretty much it. I love looking at your guys posts by the way, even if I don't comment. I try and check once a day on my blogger account. Um...that's all I think of.

Bye for now :)

Anniversary

Hi everyone :)

I'm going to start with the boring things first. I had a doctor's appointment today. This appointment was to see if I needed a new brace or not. Luckily, I do not need a new brace! This is the good news out of today. That took about five minutes to decipher but for the next half an hour the doctor and my mom started talking about books. I really have a new perspective on doctors since I've learned that some of them like to read dystopian novels.

The other big news is...I've reached the 2-year anniversary of getting my brace.

When I first got my brace I thought I would have it for two long impossible years. That was my deadline. But it so happens that I might have it for another 2 years (2 more years being the max). I'm happy that I've come this far and my curves are staying under control but I am disappointed for having it on so long. I'm glad I started early- my curves are only in the high twenties and low thirties. I didn't need a brace when I began but since I have a history of scoliosis in my family we decided it was the best option. I agree, I'd rather have it on for four years with 20 and 30 degree curves than for six months and 60 and 70 degree curves.

Also, my mom promises that every brace year anniversary we get to go shoe shopping.

That's really all that has happened...brace wise. I've been with my cousins since the 4th of July. I got home today and it is nice to just have a normal day. If you have any post requests or any question just comment. Always love new followers bye the way ;)

Hope you are having a good summer so far! :)

Clothes Haul

I'm going to try to keep this introduction short but no guarantees. I'm going to start from the beginning. I was going through my blog list and reading everyone's new posts and commenting, following, subscribing, ect. Well, I was reading Ann Marie's newest blog post (http://scoliosisfashionandbraceadvice.blogspot.com/) and I fell in love with the first dress. It was really pretty and it covers the brace perfectly. She said she got it from Plato's Closet and I was thinking it's worth a visit! I went with my mom today and it was just....wow. Clothes everywhere. Everything I got was pretty much less than $10. It was amazing. So I got a lot of clothes. I'm going to post a individual picture of each item I bought. Pictures tend to make my posts really long so I'm probably going to have a separate posts of outfits with the clothes. I'll add prices and where each item was originally from. Oh! I got some new shoes today which I'll add to. I really like shoes. Hahaha, time for the clothes. Sorry in advance for bad picture quality, I'm using my mom's iPad.

This is a gray and pink floral tankish top. It's that transparent material but with a tank or jacket it will be fine! The ruffles at the bottom help conceal my brace really well. And it's long which also helps cover the brace.

Price: $8.00

Original Store: Fun & Flirt Company

This is actually a vest but the picture is terrible. It doesn't really cover my brace but it adds color to a drab outfit. Well, I take that back. It goes down past my brace so it conceals any awkward bumps. But the sleeve holes are too low to cover the part of my brace that goes up to my armpit. But this is really cute! I like it a lot.

Price: $4.00

Original Store: Forever 21

I was really surprised when I tried on this top. It's stretchy and high so it actually covers where the brace goes up to my armpits. It needs a jacket/ tank top but since it's a bubbleish top it sort of flows from top to bottom. You can't see the brace with this on, a tank, and a jacket.

Price: $4.00

Original Store: Papaya

I really like this light pink color. I bought a lot of things in this color. The bottom has an elastic strap that sort of adjusts. By that I mean that when you raise your arms the top stays down instead of flying up. It's also longer then it seems in the picture. It covers my brace. It goes high in the back as well. Just the armpit parts of my brace aren't covered but I'd wear a jacket with this anyway.

Price: $5.00

Original Store: IZ Byer

This is such a good shrug! It's a dark gray so it will go with a lot of things. It covers the armpits and top of my brace which is what I have the most trouble concealing. It also buttons and looks really cute.

Price: $5.00

Original Store: BCBGMAXAZRIA (honest that's the store...)

This is really pretty. The top half of this is that stretchy stuff that sort of expands so you can get in it instead of a zipper. Know what I'm talking about? The bottom half is ruffles. Ruffles really help conceal awkward bumps your brace makes.

Price: $6.00

Original Store: Poetry Clothing

This is just a handy dandy white ruffle layering tank. Goes down long which is always good. Ruffles conceal bumps. We've heard this before.

Price: $8.00

Original Store: Hollister

This is like the third top I posted. It's ruffly, pretty, and I like it. It definitely needs a tank top and a jacket but it's great. 

Price: $5.00

Original Store: Rue 21

 

Total Items: 8

Total Price: $50.00 with tax.

 

I got two pairs of shoes from Payless. Here they are:

The first pair are just for summer things. Picnics, barbeques, other things. The second pair are sort of fancy for a wedding I'm going too.

 

 

I hope this post was helpful! I really like Plato's Closet. I'm planning on trying to go to H&M too since Claire (http://embracingfashionn.blogspot.com/) said it was a really good place to shop. Also Allyson mentioned it in her vlog (http://scoli-fashion-byallyson.blogspot.com/ <-- the link to the vlog is in her blog). When I get a chance I'll go there.

I love comments and questions! Tell me what you want me to post about.

Summer Clothes

Yes, it's that time of year again. I really like summer- I do. But I find that it is the hardest time of year to find clothing for your brace. Especially if it gets really hot where you live so that means no baggy sweatshirts and old jeans. See, in the winter time when I went to school some days I would throw on old jeans and a sweatshirt and my brace would be perfectly covered. Lazy days at my school (well old school since it's summer!) means tank tops and shorts. That doesn't work out well for me. I wore a lot of dresses to school during May/June but I didn't want to look fancy everyday. So I found a few things that really helped! But also my summer consists of  A) thinking about going out to do something but then B) deciding to stay hone and watch reruns of old TV shows and eating ice cream. And also my closer friends know about the brace so I don't mind if it shows if I'm just going to their house. But when I go out in public I still like to have my brace covered so here are tips!

1) Layering
Layering has also been my best friend through fall, winter, and spring. Why not summer? If you have the right things to layer with then a outfit can be light weight but still cover your brace. I find vests are very helpful and half-jackets. I don't really know what half-jackets are called but they have short sleeves and only come down to halfway down your stomach, just enough to cover the top of your brace.

 
These two are from the Target website. Both come up high in the back and sort of high in the armpits. The only thing you have to watch out for in vests are if they come up high enough in the arm pits to cover your brace. My brace goes pretty high so I have to wear a high tank top under whatever shirt I'm wearing sometimes to cover it.

2) Bright Colors
Bright colors or designs attract attention away from the brace. This also goes for shiny jewelry or a cool hairstyle. Bring attention away from the brace and towards your best features.

 





 





3) Dresses and Skirts

This one is a given but it's one of the easiest ways to cover your brace! You can get workable dresses and skirts anywhere! Here are some pictures:

This is from Forever 21. High low dresses are actually good with back braces because most tend to be flowly and they go high in the back. Now this is a really bad picture so I can't tell how high it goes up in the arm pits but if it doesn't go high enough pair it with a vest or half sweater! It's all coming together now....

I'm going to end the post now since I wanted to post something today but I'm getting tired. I'll be sure to keep posting this week. I'll have more time on my hands since it is summer!

Just Another Blog...

 

Hey Everyone! I hope you are having a nice summer. I have two days left of school. ;)

Here is a new blog to check out:

 

--->  http://scoli-fashion-byallyson.blogspot.com/

 

This is going to be a short post but I do want to post what I wore to my 8th Grade Dance. I didn't wear my brace for the dance but the dress was really pretty. I have to upload picture though, so I'll do that later. Bye bye for now!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Style & Clothes

 

Hey Everyone! I've been less lazy and I've actually took some pictures of more clothes. I'm just going to skip right to the clothes and ramble at the end of my post.

Pants: Aeropostle

Black Buttoned Tank: Hand me Down

Purple Shirt: Hand me Down

Jacket: Marshalls

Necklace: From a Friend

I like to layer...a lot. I like to layer because I've gotten a lot of hand me downs and it's easy to make different outfits with the same items so I don't have to go get new clothes if I want a new outfit. I just have to layer differently. Marshalls is Amazing because their stuff is really cheap and pretty. The Aeropostle jeans are good but not for braces. I realized that after I bought it though. I don't shop at Aeropostle a lot but I had a giftcard and had 1 or 2 pairs of jeans so I needed new ones. I got those. It's just uncomfortable and doesn't stay up well even with a belt. Oh, and the jacket is really one of those sheet shirts, I just wanted it to be a jacket :)

Necklace: From my Uncle

Belt: My mom's

Jacket: Target

Dress: Marshalls

My mom actually found the dress and the jean jacket.....

 Just as a heads up I have four other dresses to show. I know, I like dresses. I feel like dresses are the most comfortable thing with your brace because in a dress I'm not self conscious that my pants are falling or the way my shirt is positioned will show my brace. If I throw a jacket on a knee length dress, I'm good. And dresses are pretty <3

~

So I just decided to ramble now. I've recently looked through all the pictures on my blog and sort of saw a "style". The outfits I end up liking best are the layering ones with constrating colors or a theme. Say, pinks, corals, pearls, and golds in a outfit. Or I either like just plan dark blue jeans, a bright shirt and a soft colored jacket. With my favorite boots of course. And I love all my dresses! So simple and easy :) So what I've learned through the past 1 and 1/2 years is that a) my fashion has been very strange at moments and b) it's easiest to hide your brace and buy clothes with a style. So I would find your own style. I also like flowly shirts. So next time I'll look for those instead of something else. Just sort of random but embrace a style! Sorry for my lame puns, the embracing one is all I got and I've taken that from quite a few different blogs. Haha, more clothes now.

 

 Jacket: Target
Dress: Macy's...I think
Necklace: Charming Charlie's
I'm wearing my purple All Star shoes with it but you can't see them. I recently moved my desk around so this is the other wall of my room!

  Okay, I'm going to end the clothes for now since the other picture my mom took with her camera and it will take longer to upload since I have to upload all the photos. I started searching for other people with scoliosis on instagram and youtube. Here's a list.

 

Instagram:

That's it for now! If you want more websites just scroll through my many lengthy posts. I have lists in there. June is also national scoliosis awareness month! I'll try and post soon again.

Rambling

Hello everybody! I'm sorry I haven't been posting as much, I've had a lot on my mind. I have so much to share so this will be one of my "ranting" posts. I'm going to share the medical things first, I had two doctor appointments for my brace. The first one I had is where I had to get an x-ray without my brace. I was supposed to take my brace off the night before the x-ray and sleep without it. But when I'm lying in my bed, chilling with my laptop many things float out of my mind. So I slept with the brace on. I'm so used to it now, I don't even feel it! So the next morning at the doctor's when I had my x-ray I told the nurse that I didn't sleep without it. She said it was fine and I would still get the x-ray. After my x-ray, my mom and I were just waiting in the room. When we were waiting I noticed something outside the window. We were on the second floor of the building and outside the window was a ridge. The ridge connected to the next wall so there was a small 3-sided box almost. You could only notice it from the window. In the small box-like setting there was a squirrel's nest. I started watching the squirrel sleep and it was so cute! Then my mom was watching it too. She noticed that it was acting funny. When we looked closer we saw that the squirrel was actually a mother! I had two little squirrel babies huddled under her. I started freaking out because it was so cute, squirrels are my second favorite animal. I have never seen a baby squirrel before that. Sorry, I get distracted easily and when I make posts I feel like I have to explain everything. Haha. Okay, back to back braces.  When the doctor came in we was ecstatic because my x-ray was really good, my curves were less. But that's when I told him I slept with the brace on. You're supposed to take it off so your curves can shift back to where they would be without the brace. He was a little less happy but he said that if my curves were that small without my brace with a few minutes he said they couldn't be much worse, such as surgery level. Then he also said that on my hip there was a fleck of bone and that meant that I'm almost done growing. Maybe two years at most. So that means that I can count the days until my brace gets off: two years at the most! Yay! It feels good to know how much time is left, instead of wandering blindly in the dark. I can see a light now. Yeah, it's a metaphor, I think. So that was my first appointment. My second appointment was with my other doctor to see if my brace still fits. It fits perfectly right now but he thinks that I'll need another brace before I'm done for good. I wonder what color I should get? Anyway, after my appointments my mom took me to get a Java Chip Frap then I had to go back to school. Figures. Those were my back appointments, now it's time for clothes! I've been on two shopping trips since I've posted clothes so I have ALOT of new clothes to show. I've just been really lazy to change and put on the new clothes.

This isn't as much as new "styles" as just me experimenting with layering...again.

Jeans: Marshalls

Tank, Jacket, and Coral T-Shirt: Hand Me Downs

Belt: Came off a dress

Necklace: Charming Charlie's

(Sorry my room is such a mess).

Okay, so I'm going to interrupt my pictures with what I did with my brace when I went on vacation. I went to Disney World which is down in Florida. There were three main problems. A) Florida is HOT even without the brace B) I can't get my brace wet C) Security at the airport. My mom and I asked the doctor what I should do about the brace and he said for vacation I could take it off as long as I like. That got rid of A and B problems but after awhile my back started to ache so much. I think it's because I have my brace on so much, my back has been getting sort of lazy since it's not supporting itself. I also don't do a sport, I'm not "athletically" inclined so I do a lot more of music/theatre things. So my back doesn't get exercise. I just sort of ignored it though. My family and I thought that the brace might set off the metal detector in security. So what I did is I took the brace off and put it in a pillow case. We put the pillow case with the brace in it through the big machine which check all the bags. It was fine, the security people didn't ask any strange questions about it. I'm sure they've seen things like my brace before. But other than that it was easy bringing my brace to Disney. So if you have a vacation coming up- don't worry!

Actually this post is getting too long so I'll put the rest of the clothes in a different post.

Bye emBRACErs. :)

A Different Kind of Brace

Hey everybody! Yesterday I went to the orthandonist and he sadi I'm going to need teeth braces and another type of thing in my teeth. Right now I have spacers in and they are making my mouth sore :( I thought that since my blog is called the Brace Kase I can offer advice on teeth braces once I get them! You can't really hide them or anything but I can explain what it feels like to those of you who will have to get them. All I have right now is take Advils when the spacers actually move your teeth. The spacers are meant to make space between your teeth so the denist can put bands on them. It's hard to eat when you first get spacers so eat soft or liquidy foods like yougurt, soup, cheese, ect. That's all for now :)

Q&A: Common Questions About Braces

Hi everybody! I have decided to make a post on common questions about scholosis back braces. If you have any questions just leave them in the comments!

 

Q: Do back braces hurt?

A: It always depends. Whenever you get your brace or get a new brace it will feel very uncomfortable until you get used to it. My current brace (#3) has a pad don the right side right under my armpit. The pad pushes really hard so it makes that spot ache and sometimes when I take my brace off the spot is really red. So it does hurt but you get used to it.

 

Q: What types of braces are there?

A: The most common type of brace is a boston back brace which is what I have. There is also a brace called a Milwaukee Brace. There is also a new type of brace from Spinecor which is like a bunch of bands instead of plastic.

Boston Brace:

 

Milwaukee Brace:

 

 

Spinecor Brace:

 

Q: How long do you have to wear your brace?

A: I have to wear it for approx. 23 hours a day. I usually go a little pass the limit :) For special occasions you can take it off longer such as if you are at the beach.

 

Q: Will kids at school be mean to me?

A: I have never, ever had someone say something mean to me because I have a back brace. I'm shy about it so I don't tell many people except some of my friends. It's impossible to avoid people knowing when you change out in gym. Not only are they not mean about it they don't treat me any differently which I like. I don't want extra sympathey because of my brace. Once some of your friends know and get used to it it's nice. I have a friend who asks how Pika (my brace's name) is doing. She makes me feel so comfortable with it. :)

 

That's all for now! If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment.

 

How I Got My Brace

 

So far I have done many posts on clothes, fashion, and tips but I have never actually explained what I felt when I got my brace, so here it goes.

 

I was eleven years old when I learned I was going to get my back brace. So far when I went to my back appointments I thought of it as a way to get out of the first half of school, or my first x-rays. One appointment after I had a x-ray my doctor told my mom and I that I needed bracing. I cried, right there in front of all the doctors and nurses. I knew what a brace was but that's the thing. I just knew what it was. I didn't know if it was going to hurt, if I would get made fun of, I thought my whole life was over. My mom and I have a tradition, after any back brace appointment we go to Starbucks before I get back to school. I remember clearly that time we went to Starbucks. I went the bathroom and stared at myself in the mirror, my puffy eyes and tear stained cheeks. I felt like punching the mirror and watching it break into a thousand glittering pieces.

 

I finished elementary school with the exictement and nervousness of the uncoming hurdle; middle school. I was excited and scared about middle school. After all we all know that rising seventh graders think middle school is where the bullies beat kids up and stuff their heads into toliets and girls gossip behind their friends back. It's not middle so I'm now freaking out it's high school. That's why when I had to go pick up my brace it was a surprise.

 

I went in late July or early August. I remember the doctor strapping it on me and the first thought I had was that I can't breathe in this death machine. When we were driving to the doctor's I was actually excited. When we were driving back I felt like crying or punching a mirror. We went to our shopping center and when we (my family and I) got out to go to Marshalls my family gave me a little stuffed lamb. It's a puppet and it baas, I still have it on my bed. (fun fact: I am insanely in love with all lambs/sheep of all shapes, sizes, and colors)

 

I toke it one day at a time. Then one month, then one week. I remember some moments that I thought the brace would ruin my life. I remember a week after I got it I w as crying to my mom and then changing out in gym for the first time and feeling self concious of all the girls staring at my brace.

 

After awhile things really did get better. I stopped thinking the world was going to end and ended up not really embracing my brace but just living along side it. We all have our crosses to carry. I also learned not to let the brace get in the way of anything you want to do. I also learned that if you ever feel sad about having scholosis or think why do I have to do this, then you need some comfort. I have those days when I just want to scream and so I either go watch a Twilight movie, or write a song on the piano, or write on my book. So, that's really my story. I'm a year and a half through it, I'm hoping that maybe I'll get it off before high school but the chances are slim.

 

Feel free to leave your story in the comments!

 

 

 

 

 

Underneath The Brace

Hi everyone! This is my first post of the new year. Sorry for delaying it. I recently had this poll up on my blog and it's been closed for awhile but it asked what I should post. It was half and half on tips and underneath the brace so I will do a post on both.

Underneath the brace I always have at least a camisole. I usually wear the stretchy ones that have built in bras in them. 

 My brace has some really uncomfortable pads in it. So between the tank top and the brace or under the tank top I put some lamb's wool to soften it. It sounds REALLY weird, i know but it does help. You can get lambs wool at CVS or other places like that.

That's basically what I wear under my brace. I hope this helps!
I was going to put pictures up on this of the tank tops but some reason blogger won't let me upload pictures :/ I don't know why so I'm trying to fix it. Until I do though I can't really do posts about clothes. We'll see what happens!

 

 

 

 

Winter

 

 Happy Holidays everyone!  I'm sorry I haven't posted for so long, I've become busy with school and other activites. This is going to be a long post because I just got my new brace and I have clothes that I got for Christmas to share! I'll start with the clothes first.

Outfit #1

(Most of the outfits I just changed the tops so the boots and jeans will be the same :)

Layering is such a great way to hide your brace during the winter! It will keep you warm and hide those bulky bumps your brace makes. You can layer with pratically anything too, making it easy. I usually layer alot with jackets and different types of necklaces. In this outfit though I have a plaid shirt under a white sweater.

 

Outfit #2

I got this leather jacket for Christmas and I am absolutely in LOVE with it. I really like watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer and she always wears a leather jacket so I thought if I get one I could beat everyone up if they were mean to me. Sadly it doesn't give me super strength. It is still cute though, and it will keep you warm. Since mine is brown/black it will go with alot of things too.

Outfit #3

This isn't really a outfit. It's just some fingerless gloves I also got. I really like them though. For school Civics class is all online this year so I can type without my hands getting cold!

 

Outfit #4

This was a present from my mom and dad. They know I love pink and my mom saw alot of other girls wearing them so she thought I might like one. It's so cool, soft, and warm inside. I just layered it over a gray long sleeved v-neck. With jeans of course.

 

Outfit #5

Sweatshirts are a saver for everyone in the winter. I see some kids at my school that wear a sweatshirt and sweatpants to school. It's conveinable because if you just want to be comfortable and hide your brace just wear that and no one will notice your brace! It looks so comfortable too and it will definetely keep you warm.

 

Outfit #6

Again not a outfit. I got some jewelry from Aeropostle in my stocking which I thought I could show. The first thing is the necklace which has basically two strings with hearts on them. It's so cute and it can be either casual or fancy.

 

The second necklace is long and has different colored hearts strung on it. I really like it because it has pink hearts on it too. :)

 

 

 

I got these studs too. They came in those packs with three in each. I love all of them but my favorite are the sparkly pink ones!

  Sorry the pictures aren't great, I used my mom's Iphone

Ok now it is time for my latest doctors appointment!

 Last Friday I had to wake up early and go to my brace doctor who actually measures me for the braces. I just got my third brace which I named Pika. Like in Pokemon who Pikichu always says "PIKA!" right before he fights. It's white and it actually fits because he just measured me. So the pads are pushing in the right place and it's really uncomfortable. I can't get it on by myself yet so I'm not sure what I'm going to do in gym. I have health right now though so I don't have to worry about it. I got my first brace the end of July 2011. Second brace came Spring of 2012. This is in the Winter of 2012. I really hope this may be one of my last braces! Please leave comments on what everyone would like me to post about. I think I should do one on what to wear under the brace and formal wear. I'm going to decorate my brace to so I'll do a post on that :)

 

XOXO Ellen

Happy Holidays

 

Happy Holidays to everyone! I don't have time to write a really long post but I promise when I get back I'll write one. I recently got a new brace and I got clothes for Christmas so you can expect a super long one! Even though most of them are just ranting....

:)

 

My Life and Dogs

 

Hey guys! As usual I have many words to say, get your popcorn ready! Last Sunday my family got a dog! It's a blue healer and it's name is Donut. My family and I have nicknames for him though, Krispy Kreme, jelly-filled, chocolate sprinkle, ect. Any donut.

• Edward from the Twilight Series
• Prince Charming from the T.V. show Once Upon A Time

These are all wonderful books and T.V. shows (and 1D)!!!! Ok so I don't have any pictures today but I have some good stores to check out! The Marshalls where I live got redid so now they have this whole cube for juinors, it's amazing. They have cheap clothes that are in style. So if you have a Marshalls where you live you should check it out. Target is good too, they have cheap clothes. Forever 21 is good too. That's all for now really.



Bye for now!!

 

 

 

 

New Blog

 

 

Hi everybody, just wanted to say that you should check out this new blog.

://scoliosisfashionandbraceadvice.blogspot.com/

It's another scholosis blog that like :)

Also I have some news, in a few weeks I'm going to get my third brace! I have no idea what color it should be, my first was white, this one is pink but third is a mystery. I'll talk more about that once I have the appointment.

More Ellen outfits! I got the yellow top from Marshalls, the belt and the scarf are my mom's which i'm just "borrowed" and the jeans are from Aeropostle.

I need advice though, I bought my jeans a size or two bigger to wear with my brace but they're two big! Whenever i use a belt is just sort of slides of my brace. If anyone has a solution please comment!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2 More Pictures

 

 

Just wanted to post two more pictures quickly!

This officially my favorite jacket. It's a jean jacket from Target. The tank is from Target. The shirt is actually a dress thingy from Hollister. The belt is my mom's. Jeans from Aeropostle. I'm also wearing some black boots that are sort of like Uggs just a different company.

 

Dress I've already posted a picture but i found a new way to wear it! It wasn't actually my idea to layer the top under the dress. I went to Kassica's other blog and I was reading through when i found a bunch of links to blogs so i clicked on the first and it toke me to A Beautiful Mess and i clicked Fashion title on it and there was this a picture of a t-shirt layered under a dress! It's such a great idea! Anyway the dress is from Target so is the shirt. I don't know where i had that belt. The necklace is from some mall in some state.

Leave a comment if you want me to post on something!
