This post should be to introduce you to my DIY'd army vest. I was so excited when I finally go the vest exactly how I wanted it. It started off as an army jacket remember? Then I removed the sleeves and took it in a bit on the sides. However, I didn't like the long length; it went down to my butt! FINALLY I chopped it at my waist and viola: my very own, DIY'd army vest ($10 total.) Then I was going to meet my cousin Jamie for lunch/photo session and WHAM! I am knocked out and wake up in my wrecked car. TOTALED.
Everything happened so quickly, which is so cliche but so true. I was wearing my seatbelt, but the car smashed into the retaining wall on the highway on the driver's side. My face smashed into the driver's side window and I got a black eye and sore jaw, and the impact broke two of my ribs. The lovely necklace in the photos cut my neck pretty good too. I am A-Ok now (just sore in the ribs still) and majorly pissed about my car.
BUT you just can't keep a fashion obsessed girl down. I made Jamie take my pictures after they released me from the hospital. All the nurses complimented me on my perfectly in place make-up. Primer, ladies. Primer is key.
 I was SO sore. I couldn't lift my purse or hardly do anything, but this outfit was still cute and needed documentation. Plus, I was on painkillers and I was determined to see my day's plans through to the end. (Before Jamie took me to the hospital we went and had our Mexican food because 1. I was starving and 2. I was convinced I was just bruised. The insurance adjuster called and lectured me into going to the hospital. I didn't go from the scene of the crash because I crashed in Ohio, but I live in KY and if I had to go, I wanted to go at home.)

 P.S. Jamie doesn't know how to use a DSLR.


                   


And a bonus:
I couldn't pick up my bag, I was so sore. So I stretched myself and heard my ribs pop. End of photo shoot.

So do you think I'm nuts? I kinda do too. In my own defense, I had a shitty day, and I used the thing I love (fashion/my blog) to cheer me up.
