The Outfit: 01.16.09

Dress: Thrifted Billabong, Shoes: Steve Madden (via Shoe Pavilion – R.I.P), Necklace: gift from BF, Round Locket: from my Kee-Kee (not pictured, but below), Jacket: gift from Eric & Diana (on couch)

In Locket: (from bottom to top) – Me, my Brother, my Dad, our bird Junior, my Uncle Denis, and my Great-Grandma Evie.

I have decided I need moe outfits like this. Officially, I am on the prowl for cute dresses and cheap heels. OH YEAH – this is my first outfit photo with short hair! HAHA. I love it still.

That locket is probably the most sentimental thing I own. My Kee-Kee (my Grandma) was, without a doubt, the most influential person in my life. When my Mom gave her this for a birthday (or XMAS – they are so close), she cried. Her family was the most important thing in her life and being able to have almost all of them by her at all times was beyond perfect for her.

When my Aunt gave it to me when she passed, I cried. Like with the balloon pins, I didn’t year it for over a year. I am so glad I did because now I can have her with me always.
