Thinking about my trip brings me a sense of simultaneous comfort and nervousness.
I have my passport and have bought my tickets, but am still waiting on my Visa, which is starting to stress me out. It's not abnormal, completely, for one to be declined; especially if you forget to send a document.

Today my mother allowed me to buy a few things at Kohl's for the trip. This is great, since most of my nice clothes are getting pretty old and worn, and any new clothes that I have bought are Walmart clearance items worth $1 - $3, suitible for basically pajamas or a grungy day. It will be nice to have a few good outfits and shorts that actually fit (without looking too small or displaying my cottage - cheese legs at full force.)

I wish these  skirts were still in fashion up here in Ohio.. They're so pretty, and comfortable in hot weather. I noticed there were some at Gabriel Brothers last time I was there. Maybe I should go back.. though frankly, every dime I have left should be saved. I'm literally broke after paying for the passport, ticket, and visa. It's a little scary.

Did I mention I'm a sucker for halter tops and dresses? Well, I am. The one on the right is nice, but I've found a new style that I like surprisingly well. I'm not sure how they would look on me, but the "Sweetheart Halter" is a great cut. It's very vintage-looking, which isn't necessarily my thing, but sometimes it can look rather fresh.


The one on the left is an example of the neckline I'm talking about, in the form of a bathing suit.... a very expensive bathing suit that I, unfortunately, will never be able to afford. Hehe... regardless, it's an interesting cut that I've had my eyes open for, in a much, much cheaper price range.
