Polka Dot Dress!

Eeeeeeee!! I'm so happy about this dress!! It's so polka dotted and girly and adorable! I have dubbed it my Minnie Mouse dress. This is a copy of a dress I saw while randomly trolling the internet, except for about $30 less. The dress was a simple enough shift with short sleeves, I can handle that! To the fabric store! After a bus ride to the fabric store (I love riding the bus, I get to people watch, and there are some pretty interesting people riding the bus), this fabric claimed me as its own and came home with me

Lurv it!

Doesn't it go perfectly with my puppy dog print socks? Haha.

Ze back. I'll admit, I was lazy and didn't put in a zipper when I realized I could pull it on over my head.

I am also super proud of this dress because I self-drafted the entire thing. I'm trying to enhance my pattern-making skills so that I don't have to dole out gobs of money on commercial patterns. I hate spending money, but when it comes to sewing patterns and fabric, I have a weakness.

I plan to strut around campus in this dress for my midterms this week (hey, at least something about midterms has to be cheery!). I have a Russian oral exam tomorrow, eek!

Anyway, a couple weeks ago, I had an epiphany during one of my classes that sport management is not for me. It's not at all what I thought it would be- I thought more along the business lines but, in reality, it's mostly customer service, and I think that sucks. So, I'm changing my major. Before I declared as sport management, I wanted to be a medical examiner (don't get creeped out!), but I got scared off it because of the immense amount of schooling involved. After some pondering, I've decided to revisit that route. And, because Pre Med isn't actually a defined major, I can major in anything I want as long as I take the classes required to get into med school! Hoopla!

So, that's what's been going on with me, how about you? :-)
