nine days.

I apologize for being a bad, bad blogger the past couple weeks. However, in 9 days, you all are in for a huge treat and the blog is going to be in for a big update. Niklaas' photography!! Remember last August? Sigh. I refer that as the golden era in which we took pictures every single day and I posted every single day and it was just delightful. I can't wait for that again!
Anyone else feeling dead and unmotivated? Or should I say...everyone? Ha. I definitely am. The ONLY thing getting me through these weeks is the fact that I get to be home for five whole weeks. School free. Stress free. I'm excited for Christmas, but really, I am going to just be so happy to be home this year. It's a funny thing anymore with Holidays. I have never once in my life been excited about Thanksgiving but after almost not making it home for the holiday and then being there with my dad and my best friend and her family, I was just so at peace. It put the biggest smile on my face just to be able to be in the same room as everyone I love! It's cheesy, I know. But you really learn to appreciate such little things.

I had the best weekend of college this weekend- and I've had some good ones! At the greatest place on earth (Target) I found a onsie on Friday night. I bought it. 12 bucks. Wanting to make sure it fit, I tried it on in the car over my clothes. And voila. Most comfortable item of clothing ever. Deeply and newly in love, I couldn't take it off! So what did I do? I wore my new onsie WITH attached feet into the school cafeteria. And boy, was it a social experiment to remember. Literally, every single person stared at me. I was so impressed with my ability to keep a straight face! Friday nights are usually the nights when everyone is dressed nicely and ready to go out after dinner so wearing a onsie wasn't exactly normal. As in, the first time it's happened. I even walked by this huge football player and caused him to choke up his milk in laughter. It was amazing.
My onsie in TARGET! Next to Taylor.
Last night, we bought a million strings of lights and for four hours, we took it upon ourselves to decorate our entire dorm hall and our individual rooms! We played Christmas music and danced around and made snowflakes. It was a blast! I really really love all the friends I've made. I'm completely infatuated with Missoula. I'm the happiest I've ever been here!
We took these pictures during our weekend together in November on the way to Spokane. I absolutely love this dress! I got it from Charolette Russe and it's so pretty. I love the white lace on the top and the flowers! I think next time I style this I'll take out the belt or switch sweaters because for me, this is a pretty "loud" outfit. I love pattern mixing...but not usually in such a bright way. This cardigan is one of my pre-blog items that has stayed in my closet- it's amazing what pieces from my pre-blog days are still in there! It's just simple and cozy and my grandma picked it out, so really I couldn't throw it out. It's striped and red and so cozy!

Well. I'm laying in bed...still. Sleepovers are a dangerous thing. We have dear old Maggie in here currently and she's lived with us for the past three days. I definitely missed out on the sleepover thing in high school. They're amazing. I'll update WEDNESDAY:)

Love,
Maggie

I love the mix of the stripes with the print of the dress! It's something you wouldn't really think would go together but actually goes together really well. :)

Five weeks off of school! Gahhh, I so wish I had that to look forward to! It sounds like your dorm hall and everything is totally ready for the holidays with the decorations and all. I bet it looks mighty perdy!

Wait. Oh my gosh. FOOTIE PAJAMAS! At least that's what I call them... but HOLY CRAP. I LOVE THEM. And you for wearing them out in public. My hero? Hahaha. I've actually been looking for those to get my friend for Christmas, so I am definitely making a trip to Target asap. I'm really excited now... :D

Sands said...

LOL! That onesie is priceless! Hahaha. You make me laugh! And talk about unmotivation... I think we're all there right now. But merely 10 more days and it'll be over! Over, I tell ya! Good luck with your exams Maggie!

You are so cute! I'm in love with your onesies! I've been looking for a pair, hehe. :) Curse my short stature.

Sort-of-related question about your dress. I have the exact same one and was wondering if the sleeves hurt your arms? Maybe it's just my pudgesicles, but the band seemed oddly constrictive to me!

You look lovely. Can't wait for break myself-- so close! :D

Lena said...

I love your floral outfit sweetie! I'm looking forward to going home for holidays too!

Have fun, Lena!

Amanda said...

Love the photos! I loveeee the prints you mixed. Your dress is amazing. And I'm totally loving the onesie photo, it cracked me up!

Hannah said...

I'm a little jealous of your 5 weeks at home. I only get two cause of work. Maybe less cause I'm interviewing at a new place soon. Ahh!

But congratulations on (almost) finishing your first semester!

Oh and I love your tights. The color is soothing. Lol :)

Bea said...

So many things to say:

1. I have always wanted a onesie. Damn, where here do they make adult sizes? I want that comfiness!

2. Your grandma has excellent taste. This is one of the best and most unique examples of pattern mixing. I love it.

3. Your outfit does not look super loud because the tights and boot tone it down a bit. Great styling :)

Your onesie is so cute, it would have been fun walking around in that. I bet it was so liberating to wear what you wanted!

Bryce said...

Your onsie is funny because last year I got one for Christmas, and I decided to wear it all day. In stores, out to eat, everything. I got a lot of looks, but only one guy who asked "is that a onsie?" I said yes. He said "oh"
