I am a firm believer that the weather dictates how my mood should be, and today I am happy as a clam! It is absolutely beautiful today, and the rest of this week its only supposed to get better and better! I am completely thrilled!
And since it's so gorgeous out, I am just about to run out the door to snap a few photos in the cemetery, then do a teensy bit of shopping before my shift tonight O:-) .. I am actually planning on returning the dress I am wearing above, along with a Jason Wu dress that the tag reads small, but fits more like a large.. I just can't wear this leopard bodycon without thinking Flinstones, it's got to be the print or something, I initially bought it thinking it was such a cute retro number, but the more I wear it and think about it I just can't stop thinking Wilma or Pebbels,
But before I head out, as I was taking these photos the other day, I saw about 15 deer! They just came out of the woods and were playing in the field across the street from the cemetery I was in! It was incredible, cars were whipping by rushing home and they were in plain sight, but they just frolicked about with their white tails up, not a care in the world. Seeing them interact with each other in their natural habitat was one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen. I wish I could have taken better photos, but I was in such awe that I snapped a few photos very quickly in case they were just passing through, but no, they stayed and played for about 10 minutes, then they were off into the woods again.. I wonder if these are the same group of deer who are in my yard late at night/in the early mornings.. hmm, either way, it was a beautiful thing to experience.

They say that the world was built for two, only worth living if somebody is loving you.

I am the weirdo who goes and hangs out in cemeteries by herself. Here's the honest to god proof.. I used to hang out here all the time when I was in high school, me and my friends would 'sneak out' (my parents are very cool so they didn't care, but we liked to pretend they'd be mad if they knew..) late at night and freak ourselves out while we did a loop around the graveyard. It's definitely been years since I've been back, I almost forgot such a pretty location (kind of morbid, no?) was a 20 second drive from my house..

I had the entire day off yesterday and was planning on spending it how I normally spend my days off, unshowered, unmade-up, and creating a permanent divot in the couch cushions.. But I decided I should go get myself all made up and take photos in the cemetery. It may be difficult to tell considering my updating this blog has been so spotty lately, but I'm wearing some new items that have never been seen before on INDIE elise! I've wanted the perfect shirt dress for a long, long while. This isn't quite it, but it's pretty lovely in itself. And a disclaimer here; I do wear pants when ever I have worn this shirt-tunic. It's definitely cutting it a little too close to hoochie.. But the tights and jewelry are new as well! I am madly in love with the earrings, I'm not sure they are visible in any of the pictures, but I can definitely promise you you'll be seeing them again, and a lot. They have definitely worked their way into my 'favorites' collection.

But now I must go get myself ready for work tonight.. I've only ever worked one night shift so far, so I am pretty excited to close the store tonight! And I ended up picking up a 7 hour shift tomorrow morning, so yay more money! $$$ :) Have an excellent hump day, everyone!

Highlight of my day (yesterday) - finding this old pair of skinny jeans tucked away at the very bottom of my jeans drawer that I bought my freshmen year of high school, never having been able to fit into them before (low rise but the waist does not give) Decided to put them on for shits and giggles, only to discover they fit! Finally! They're a bit wrinkly, but they had to be worn anyways in celebration of the happy occasion. Caitlin 1 Jeans 0.

I think I am going to shoot majority of my pictures in this location from now on, it's technically on my neighbors property, but the area where I climb over the stone wall and down the bank is out of sight from their house, so I should be good as long as they don't decide to take a stroll one sunny afternoon.. Talk about awkward, especially considering these are neighbors who I've never met/spoken to before. Lets hope they're nice because the newest location of my pictures depends on it!

Anyways, I just worked a long 8 hour day today, the stores grand opening (Kohls) is a mere 8 days from now, so everyone was running around the store looking like chickens with their heads cut off. Fortunately for me, it meant the day flew right by me and my 8 hour shift felt more like mere minutes.. So thats good I guess! But now I must run to Fed Ex with my Benjamin to help him do some work for his company, which means we'll be here for probably the next two or three hours.. le sigh.. BUT, he is rewarding me by taking me to my favorite place to grab some awesome mexican, so there's a silver lining there! Unfortunately though, I have a feeling I am going to be in zombie mode within the hour, which sucks considering I have another 8 hour day ahead of me tomorrow and I'm stuck here at Fed Ex helping him.. Pray for me here people! I've got a busy day/night and another day/night ahead of me.. I'm already looking forward to Thursday which is my day off so I can sleep til 2pm just like the good 'ol days.. ahh...

Sunday fun day.

Sunday has come and nearly passed and it's been a nice one at that I have to say. I got to sleep in (I say that like it's a rare occurrence, hah.) bum around the house, and get ready on my own time. Eventually, Ben and I went out of town to run a few errands for his company and I ate at Boloco for the first time ever. After we picked up a few giant cans of mikes hard and sped home for the mid-season premier of The Walking Dead. It is my all time favorite show ever, it's just too good.. Now we're finishing off our final can and anxiously  awaiting "The Talking Dead" to come on, but truthfully, we probably won't even make it and will end up falling asleep.. Oh, our crazy wild adult lives that we live, haha..

But you should expect to see this outfit later on this week again.. Considering I literally threw it all on, I was really excited about photographing it in my neighbors field to share with you all, but I took one step outside and my fingers and toes froze and nearly fell off.. So there was no way I could get pictures of the actual look considering the jacket had to stay on if I wanted to live to see another day. And I am (hardly) not even kidding, I don't think I've experienced a colder day before in my entire life living in New England, and trust me, we know cold. This 'photo shoot' lasted literally .2 seconds, then Ben and I called it quits. Hopefully the days start getting warmer, I am really looking forward to spring and being able to leave the house with no coat and be completely fine. Mother Nature, warm our bones! send us some sunshine soon, please!

an unexpected change of plans.

Good morning! I was originally planning on sleeping in today after a long night of drinking and watching the Super Bowl (Patriots lost :( ), but Ben woke me up to tell me I had a message on the answering machine regarding my new job. When I was first offered the job my Orientation date was February 9th, but a week after that I got another call, from a different woman, offering me the same job.. After I informed her of already having the position, she said something like, "Alright, sorry about that! We'll see you on February 6th then!" and hung up upon saying that without giving me the chance to correct her. I was going to call today just to be sure, until the newest message left said "Calling to confirm your February 7th orientation!" Ugh.. So I had to call to straighten things out, and apparently there are two Caitlins and they had gotten us mixed up, but I actually do start tomorrow I guess. 8:30am, bright and early! Can't wait!

I haven't been up to much really these last couple of days, Ben's had a busy week with work so I've spent most of my days at home relaxing. The photos are from two days ago when he had a surprise day off so we decided to go have lunch and drive around listening to music and enjoy the sunshine. As you can see we aren't confined to taking photos in my driveway! The snows melting so we're able to venture off to find some better locations. Not entirely sure this is the best one yet, but it's certainly better than pavement, wouldn't you agree? But I also am expecting a package that I'm out of my mind excited about receiving, if you follow me on instagram (username: seasickness) or tumblr (INDIE elise) you probably are already well aware of what it is, but expect me to write an entry with photos introducing to you my new babies <3

Yesterday, Mother Nature gave us 'Shire folk some sunshine and temperatures nearing 50 degree's, I will never quite understand New Hampshire and it's bipolar seasons.. And I feel like a total brat saying this but I was incredibly happy to see the snow and ice begin melting away, I couldn't stop smiling, and being able to step foot outside my front door without nearly being blown away by freezing winds was a breath of fresh air, literally.

I have been reaching for this shirt almost every day since I purchased it, I am just so in love, which is rather surprising considering it was sort of an impulse buy since it was less than $5. But I really need to make sure I don't step foot into Pacsun for the next few months, their awesome sale they have going on is going to be the death of me, my wallet, and my wardrobe.. I don't want to be one of those chicks dripping head to toe wearing only Pacsun! Where's the fun in that?!

But, I am still deciding upon whether or not to sell these shoes, so hold tight and I will give you the final verdict in a few short days! Promise! But before I wrap this thing up, I wanted to point out my necklace! How awesome is it?! I bought it when I was in 7th grade attending this girls birthday party which was held at King Richard's Renaissance Faire in Massachusetts. Its a little nerdy, and I know this because one time when I was working at Staples, all the geeky boys complimented me on it saying it reminded them of something from Dungeons and Dragons or what have you.. It's kind of funny how quartz crystal necklaces are all the rage now! If only I had foreseen the trend back then and started making them when I was in 7th grade, I'd be loaded right no!... well, maybe..

This weather is such a drag. I really thought snow would spice up my pictures some, but with the sun beaming down turning everything bright white and blinding, it's really hard to keep cool while my eyes are fighting to stay shut and my face is being consumed by my hair. And don't forget that it's fucking freezing out, I have to fight the elements while trying to produce nice pictures which is a tough thing I'm realizing, especially since I need to do so in a small time frame. What time frame is that might you be wondering? I've got to do all this before my nose, fingers and ears turn bright red. Those don't photograph well, trust me. Not cute.
