for the love of mismatched patterns

and I do love mismatched patterns.

missionary bag: check

travel nightmares & some red skirt love.

I just got home from Russia.

It was a traveling horror story.

It took me 40+ hours/


I don't want to relive the details, so I'll give you the quick version.

*6 total flights

*5 security check points

*4 flight delays

*3 hours sitting on the plane right outside of the Des Moines airport because air traffic control wouldn't let us land in Chicago

*2 unknown airports in foreign countries whose languages I didn't speak

*1 body cavity search (oh, joy)

...and a canceled flight
...and an unexpected night spent in Chicago
...also experienced my first TSA searched baggage. (that wasn't so bad, though, because they packed it back up better than I had originally)


and just when I thought I was home free, I got a flat tire on my way home from the airport.

TODAY IS NOT MY DAY.


but I AM HOME. AND I DON'T SMELL BAD ANYMORE.

Here is a fashion post with photos I took a while back inspiring me that I may once again not always look as tired and sweaty as I did for the last forty-some hours ~

In conclusion ~

Traveling is fun..

 except for the actual traveling part.


Yay, adventure. 

(I usually mean that, but today I am being sarcastic.)

the perfect not-really-sandals sandals

On my mission I cannot wear sandals (something about looking professional).

That's cool..

..I'm just moving to hot Southern California.

LUCKY FOR THIS GIRL , I found some perfect not-really-sandals sandals to bring along!

Cheers!

Welcome to my life, Not-Really-Sandals Sandals.

not everybody gets my style.

...and it's better that way.

..because sometimes your new, PERFECT missionary skirt comes in the mail and you have to try it on right then.
