That's the word I think of when looking at this outfit. It's crazy in the sense that you don't see a fur vest very often in Wyoming and if you do, I'd think it was real. I'd also think he'd killed it himself, assuming it was a man wearing the fur vest. He'd be all Dexter-like about it, taking a trophy of his kill. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglFd7gVP5-JDl7ANPGlYVCPFiysjlc83gEE5wkhW8UCIHri7g6UCxhXSSw1h6DAoKQbd7AjNm_XvssdHJYjU-hpfTtDqy7tSECC3yTbtBt5d1azzAujpG4YzXbjh4MpsxsCe4n34ATQmf6/s1600/11.30.11b.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglFd7gVP5-JDl7ANPGlYVCPFiysjlc83gEE5wkhW8UCIHri7g6UCxhXSSw1h6DAoKQbd7AjNm_XvssdHJYjU-hpfTtDqy7tSECC3yTbtBt5d1azzAujpG4YzXbjh4MpsxsCe4n34ATQmf6/s640/11.30.11b.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Which leads to why this post is called "Darlyna." As you know, I love the show "The Walking Dead" on AMC, and one character has really developed this season, becoming my favorite character: Daryl. He supports the "back-woods redneck" stereotype in season 1 and takes it with him into the first few episodes of season 2, but he slowly grows out of that view when he starts to do upstanding things for the group. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjELjEaSXSYhV3-Ge3QQXlO9PiYzm5mGN5HfG9B2plDgy-nQbYQpaWfNNZ2VBHjbEB-GgZdDwLNGce584Bsmg6GaMfrm3ROg8GLFW6-NGTaW_HshCoxekJgQEpTqiE0uPhKt-GX0zHs9mWP/s1600/11.30.11c.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjELjEaSXSYhV3-Ge3QQXlO9PiYzm5mGN5HfG9B2plDgy-nQbYQpaWfNNZ2VBHjbEB-GgZdDwLNGce584Bsmg6GaMfrm3ROg8GLFW6-NGTaW_HshCoxekJgQEpTqiE0uPhKt-GX0zHs9mWP/s640/11.30.11c.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There's a scene in the episode "Chupacabra" where a vision of Daryl's brother comes and taunts him by calling him names, one of which is Darlyna. I was inspired to create a look for what I imagine Daryl's possible girlfriend would wear (also realizing they are in Georgia means this outfit would never work down there...oh the humidity). I love the way this character is opening up and becoming more human in a world where humanity is threatened by zombies. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge4ULUttqaBGd4QdAu69SOu9YwzRuug_DIG-JM5aJC5ZxkT9S7TKZXRw3m780hKWiHtWNlpKaLUMR85mjBAeJQzrdyk3gpQ_ZIzCnwlQ6w3QoNONP45zHHohRKsiOcuQyNNcY254pFjL77/s1600/11.30.11d.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge4ULUttqaBGd4QdAu69SOu9YwzRuug_DIG-JM5aJC5ZxkT9S7TKZXRw3m780hKWiHtWNlpKaLUMR85mjBAeJQzrdyk3gpQ_ZIzCnwlQ6w3QoNONP45zHHohRKsiOcuQyNNcY254pFjL77/s400/11.30.11d.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sadly though, the show is on hiatus until February. *sigh* But for now, I'll be enjoying spiced eggnog and gingerbread cookies over the holiday season, at least until the gore begins again in February. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM8e8WBHHM71RC5ufgVrD_w5hQGoiDDN3b3KPVi94SdKrIU0USeX3aj5mWlE1-6FeihEsmLaN7xm8tZnL5oO0dBsYljq0R_s58tUGkL-cbgDsfsUvrhUg3zVtv29iCZp0w8zOls90hdomo/s1600/11.30.11e.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgM8e8WBHHM71RC5ufgVrD_w5hQGoiDDN3b3KPVi94SdKrIU0USeX3aj5mWlE1-6FeihEsmLaN7xm8tZnL5oO0dBsYljq0R_s58tUGkL-cbgDsfsUvrhUg3zVtv29iCZp0w8zOls90hdomo/s640/11.30.11e.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Vest: <a href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=74384&vid=1&pid=878782&scid=878782002" target="_blank">Old Navy</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Shirt: American Eagle</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Dress: Target</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Tights: Old Navy</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Necklace: Urban Outfitters</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Boots: Enzo from Nordstrom</div>

This is my last chance to complete my rough draft for my paper. It's slowly getting there, but it's been an uphill battle to finish it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you haven't noticed, my hair is getting longer! I've had a short haircut since college started, which is also when I started cutting my own hair. Ya, you read that right, I chop my own locks, so if you like my hair cut then try it yourself. You'll have no one else to blame but yourself if you don't like it and if you do like the result, kudos. </div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibwL8w3GlirxhldObxYZ3S2Zg4ds8XrfP46yjghan14VqwBbXRcb7JKHstt8KPXWJRzIdOTvtWcJKBpSyeQsuUMWNp8z9Sv1m0I2Q-eWZ7jyVfaRPl5po4Zlm6d-9wKP22RBlfEvsm8fAu/s1600/11.28.11b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibwL8w3GlirxhldObxYZ3S2Zg4ds8XrfP46yjghan14VqwBbXRcb7JKHstt8KPXWJRzIdOTvtWcJKBpSyeQsuUMWNp8z9Sv1m0I2Q-eWZ7jyVfaRPl5po4Zlm6d-9wKP22RBlfEvsm8fAu/s640/11.28.11b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I feel like...senior pictures. That's what these pictures remind me of. The pretty background with the sitting and the hand folded the correct way. The only difference between these photos and my senior photos are that I have them. My family took senior pictures but didn't buy any...what a waste, right? Whatever, I didn't like what I was wearing in those pictures anyway. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, this is Day Two of the 7 Day Dare. Good so far, but I can for sure tell you that come the end of the week, I'm going to hate wearing this dress and I won't want to look at it for a long time...at least a few days.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEincVmoycehSqETS5D5nkDL3bqCbfViVxCCBdYjI-741oSwbyeunTAcpP7VeUuG4HxNg9FuaLmaWuNfan_RPDu-eyupsdpQd3sn-SZL8lNcTAdl_EKpX3yvn3Q6TjnmYY3AlLreLDurXzIp/s1600/11.28.11c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="472" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEincVmoycehSqETS5D5nkDL3bqCbfViVxCCBdYjI-741oSwbyeunTAcpP7VeUuG4HxNg9FuaLmaWuNfan_RPDu-eyupsdpQd3sn-SZL8lNcTAdl_EKpX3yvn3Q6TjnmYY3AlLreLDurXzIp/s640/11.28.11c.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Sweater: Target<br />Dress: Target<br />Scarf: Urban Outfitters<br />Leggings: Simply Vera from Kohls<br />Boots: Uggs<br />Sunglasses: Wayfarer Ray Ban

I've been a very busy gal watching the Graduate students work with clients and I've a learned a lot about how to give effective treatment. So excited to be an SLP (Speech Language Pathologist) in the future! </div><br />On an entertainment note, I am counting down the days to Dexter Season 6! I don't know about you but I am a huge Dexter Morgan fan and can't wait to see how Dexter will get away with murder this season. Secondly, I watched the TV show Pan Am last night, LOVE! It's like the female version of Mad Men, only the office is an airplane.<br /><br />Finally, I know the last picture is blurry but I just love easy, breezy and beautiful. I look CoverGirl.
