Dollar Days



About two years ago we went to the horse races for the first time and had a blast. Dollar days are a yearly happening at Golden Gate Fields and while we tried to go last year, we just couldn't quite work it into our schedule. But this year lil Miss Anna decided to take matters into her own hand and scheduled an outting.

Its hard to go wrong with Dollar days. Dollar dogs, dollar sodas, dollar beers. Tell you the truth, I think that might be the real reason people show up.

Me? I just like to take any opportunity to soak in the sun. And take pretty pictures.

Fluttering


Hello everyone! As you all have noticed I have been wearing Mode Gyaru inspired and grungey inspired outfits for the last few days and my Mori Girl side kinda missed me. So for today, I decided to wear something which I mixed both Mori Girl and Mode Gyaru ~ And again, my addiction for mullet skirts is clearly seen again here. And I'm so happy to be in florals and something frilly again! Yaaaay! 

I wore something Mode Gyaru but when combined with florals and the light creamy Mori Girl color palette, it has been a lovely mix of both. Anyway, I never want to be in one style only. It's always fun to mix and match and sometimes even combine styles. :-) It's all about imagination and finding out what do YOU want to wear. It's never fun to wear something just to appeal to other people or to maybe even please them. I never do get it when other girls conform to what other people tell them and what other people want them to wear. Oh but if it's a parent telling you to do so, I guess you just have to find the right balance of pleasing them and also pleasing yourself. But if a boy or a friend tells you to do so, I'd immediately say, ditch them. Hahahaha. IDK. I just find it weird that some girls are scared to wear a certain something just because their boyfriends or whatever tells them not to! I just don't get it.. Maybe I'm just not comfortable with that idea because you should always wear what you want no matter what other people say. I guess fashion is also a sort medium to express yourself and what you're feeling that is why you can never be in one style only, I guess.

Well okay, I wore a floral button down with those pointy collars, I bought this a long time ago but I never really used it. And I paired it with a flowy baby pink mullet skirt from Phrenzy. Isn't this just the prettiest color? :-) IDK. The frustrated ballerina inside me loves this skirt so much!! Hahahaha! Oh I also wore my peach striped frilly socks I received from my cousin. It made the outfit 1000x cuter!! And I opted to wear my brogues cause I missed them. ; _ ; I haven't been wearing much oxfords these past days and it's good to be back. Hahahaha. I also braided my hair and I made it into a headband. I dub thee the Marion Braided Hairband. Hahaha :-) I think I'm going to do this hairstyle more often. It looks pretty neat and it's super simple too! I think most of you could do this with a blind fold. Hahaha!! Anyway, on to the pictures!!
