Big thanks to Sharon over at My Passport to Style for the stylish blogger award she gave me in my last post. Sharon is a really awesome stylist from a really lovely blog and this award was an absolute honor! My goal for this blog has been to show girls they can be stylish without having to spend the big bucks, so this award was definitely extra special.

Also, a huge thank you to Amy from The Bargain Hunter Extraordinaire for the kreative blogger award that she passed on to me the other day. Amy's got the cutest style and an equally adorable blog, and I couldn't be more thrilled about receiving this award. In proper keeping I will tell seven things about myself and then I will pass it on to seven others.

1. I wear glasses.
I never wear them in my photos because there's always a weird reflection. I do have clear contacts, but I would say I wear my glasses the most. I'm just too lazy to put the contacts in!


2. I have eight brothers and sisters.
I am the fourth of four biological girls, then my parents adopted five. I now have five sisters and three brothers. We range in age from five to thirty five. My parents are angels, I swear.

3. My drink of choice is Captain Morgan & Diet Coke.
It tastes like Vanilla Coke. Yum!

4. My given name is Starr Crow.
It was inspired by a lady who worked at Western Union.
My father didn't know her, just liked her name and her matching star earrings. My last name just happens to be a noun too.

5. I collect vintage hats.
I have at least 40 and I'm working on a creative way to document them for a post. What happened to the days when you couldn't leave the house without a hat? I think that's where I'd fit in.

6. I work at a fancy restaurant in a historic hotel.
My job is to lay out silverware, poor water, and serve rolls. It's easy and they give me good health insurance, but I long for something more. God I can't wait to finish college.

7. I love candy corn.
My boyfriend was convinced that everyone in the world thought candy corn was 'the nasty candy' that no one ate, but after taking a poll at work I proved to him that most people love it!


Hopefully that was somewhat interesting!
Now lets hear from Diana, Ashlee, Marta, Piglet, Valencia, Eithlinn and Mairyliscious!

The Blue Skirt #1

Do you all have one piece in your wardrobe that comes into play at least once or twice a week?

I definitely do and for me it's my high waist navy blue skirt. With money being tight and clothes the least bit of my buying concern, I love a good go to piece. To prove to myself that I can create multiple different looks without changing too much in my wardrobe, I'm going to start a recurring post called "The Blue Skirt" highlighting my outfit every time I wear it. I already posted a look with it last week (with that wolf tee), and I've got two more looks to add today. Hopefully by doing this it will challenge me to be a little more creative and inventive with my styling.
Hope you enjoy!
