so one of my favorite bloggers, whose site I check religiously, is having a fun giveaway that requires you to submit your best red, white, and blue outfit. The best one wins a whole bunch of cute prizes, and I really hope I get it. If you have a submission click the link above and get in on it, but hurry the deadline is quickly approaching.

so getting to the main part of my story....I love Indiana's style, sense of humor,...pretty much everything. Her blog deserves a bookmark so go do that immediately. I was excited to enter the contest and spent some time deciding if I should put a new outfit together or just use the outfit I actually wore on independence day. I finally decided to enter the contest using my actual outfit and sent her an e-mail with the link and my info. Less than a day later I received this:

Lindy,
Thank you so much for your RWB submission! I love how you tied up the
hem of your maxi. I'll have to try that this summer! And hahaha- your
PBR shot is awesome! :0)

-Indiana

When I read this I about had a heart attack. She sent me an e-mail!! wow!!! I know that maybe this is borderline crazy.....almost as bad as a girl crying at a 98 Degrees concert, but not quite. I realize that she's just a cool girl I happen to stalk through the internet, but I thought it was AWESOME of her to take the time to send a reply.

Now's the time to go to her website, Adored Austin, and enter to win! The prizes are fabulous and maybe you'll even get a personal shout out from the blogger herself.

carrie.

i really don't get out much. i used to LOVE going out on the town and staying out until the wee hours of the morning but lately i've been staying in more than usual. so these days when i do go out i enjoy getting all dressed up. i've really gone way past the "over dressed" worries and now allow myself to wear whatever i want. the bars and events i usually go to are the jeans and t-shirts type...but i don't mind. i tend to stand out when i get all dressed up because of this reason. the old me would have been horrified by the strange looks i sometimes get but at some point i realized that it just doesn't matter. because, really, me being happy is all that matters and i love getting dressed up!

there is a point to this........

last weekend i went to my boyfriend's show at a bar that he plays at all the time. this bar is the aforementioned "jeans and t-shirt" type of place. i did my normal routine and put together something really cute to wear. while waiting for the band to start two of my friends that i often hang out with at shows paid me the biggest compliment anyone in my life has ever given. Shannon and Rhi turned to me and said "You know what Lindy, you are pretty much our real-life Carrie Bradshaw."

maybe to you this seems silly, being compared to a fictional character, but to me it was exactly what i needed to hear. While watching sex and the city has done a lot of things for me.....provided entertainment, helped me to appreciated all types of fashion, schooled me obscure and dirty topics.....the thing i take from it more than anything is learning the importance of being yourself and not being ashamed of it. The main focus of my life is becoming the person i know i can be but in my opinion only and no one else's.

so i'd like to thank those girls for helping me to re-realize exactly why i cherish my individuality and confidence more than anything else. the compliment was directly related to what i had on but i translated it into so much more.

here's the outfit that warranted the lovely comments

Mossimo tank top from Target

Pink belt from thrift store

Skirt with pockets from Wal-Mart

Steve Madden ruffle wedges from Macy's

Name Plate Necklace from girlshop.com (r.i.p.)

I got the shoes the day of the show on sale at Macy's. I had a gift card left over from my birthday so they were pretty much free. I love them because they are super high but super comfortable and 70% off.

don't second guess the choices that you know are right. follow your heart and never let anyone make you feel like being yourself is wrong or not enough.

MK&A

anyone who can pull off grunge in the afternoon and couture at night is ok in my book.

so i'm totally obsessed with mary kate and ashley olsen. i loved full house and all their stupid sing along movies when i was younger, but then they grew up and so did i. they pretty much live the life i want: fashion shows, designing lines, writing books, glam to the nth degree type of stuff.

i'd honestly probably trade meeting them for mary kate's entire wardrobe....but sitting down for coffee for an hour would be just as rewarding! i've always wanted to get a job at a fashion magazine for just one reason....getting to interview them! so lame. it's just that good! both of them have amazing style and taste (and they look like they have a lot of fun!)
