Steps to Getting Dressed for a Date

 In only 8 simple steps, you too could be well-dressed and on your way to a $3.50 movie!

1. I was wearing this black and white polka dot sundress around the house because it was hot, and I was wearing my fork earrings because I'm in love with them.

2. Angel said, "Let's go see Now You See Me at the cheap theater!"

3. I must civilize my outfit. I tie on my light blue, anchor-patterned shirt to cover my shoulders.

4. I add a blue flower to my hair. 

5. Dr. Martens and Pink Sparkly Converse were considered as possible shoes, but nude sneaker-wedges made the final cut.

6. I look at myself in the mirror. "Eww. This looks preppy. And randomly patriotic."

7. What's the cure for unintended preppiness and patriotism? A black ribbon choker and four leather studded arm bands, of course. 

8. Success.

P.P.S. Well, this one you obviously know already, if you've ever been here before. There's been a blog transformation, courtesy of Angi. She's good at what she does and her prices are suitable for the non-millionaires among us. And seriously, I think it was Tuesday when I contacted her first about a blog design. Less than a week and it's already here? Take a few minutes to check out features like the non-obnoxious "Pin" button when you hover over my photos and also my brand new "Search" box on the sidebar. I revamped all the blog pages in honor of the new design, so go check out About and Best Of and Advertise and Questions? and tell me how glorious they are. This is the new look of The Random Writings of Rachel, and I am okay with that.
