Home Alone

I never thought I would miss having privacy. Sure, sometimes I'm home alone or I can close my door off from the rest of the house - and that feels private enough to me. But real true privacy doesn't happen that often anymore since moving into a duplex. I refer to my neighbor as "the big guy upstairs" (He's not God, he is just big & lives upstairs). Considering I've heard him snore through the floor, cough, and take phone calls; I can only imagine the things he hears my mom and I scream across the house. The past few days though, the big guy upstairs took a mini vacation. It only happens once in a blue moon, so my mom and I took advantage of it. Turning all of our electronics up as loud as we please and pretending we didn't actually have a neighbor. Hey, nothing against the big guy, but having privacy is pretty cool!

Another thing privacy includes? Walking into my backyard/driveway to take pictures without the chance of the big guy himself suddenly going on a food run. I was able to put on this outfit of a color combo I've been dying to try and then could leisurely take photos on my own time. Well, not so much leisurely as it was about 5 degrees outside and I was ready to grab my puffy jacket at any second. haha

Outfit details - Skirt, $1 (thrifted, Dividends Maternity brand) - Top, from Dani (F21+ brand) - Tights, $5 (Wal-Mart) - Booties, $15 (K-Mart) Earrings, old family treasure - Lipstick, Dark Wine by Wet'n'Wild (tastes like berries, yum!)

The combo of the outfit and your hair is just screaming MOD to me! Love it!
And I (literally) laughed out loud at your "big guy upstairs" comment! Hhah)

Those earrings pull everything together fantastically. Gold star! Also, my boyfriend and I are moving into our first place together that doesn't share walls with anybody else (ie not an apartment or duplex), and I completely relish it after having dealt with other people's noises for so long. No more neighbors getting arrested or yelling at the TV! And, alternately, I can yell at the TV as much as I want to!
