check out these little gems...

on my last trip home in august, i went through some of my old boxes of junk in the garage. my favorite discovery was a sampling of my wardrobe from when i was 10!! literally. i'm not really sure why i thought it necessary to pack these away when i went to college, but i'm glad i did!

i was pretty stylin:

i remember being really upset when i grew out of this little thing...

possibly my favorite of the whole collection. this is a stick figure self-portrait that has been immortalized onto a white t-shirt. i particularly like the nontraditional coloring of the face. 

i think it really helps bring out my eyes...

i loooooved this sweater and FLEECE jumpsuit/dress thing. 

i'm pretty sure the sweater was worn at least twice a week...

yeah, i don't really have an explanation for this...it was comfortable?

this vest made me feel really smart. unfortunately, i think it just made me look like a nerd.

another of my favorites. this t-shirt with the names of all the kids in my 1st grade class is STILL huge. i guess Mrs. Bigler didn't get the memo that 1st graders really aren't all that big...

not too bad for a 10-year-old, right? ... haha ok so let's just say i'm glad i grew out of the jumper and sweater-vest stage...not my best look, i'll admit.

thanksgiving countdown: 

i'm grateful for the chance i had to watch the sunrise with people i love. 

it was so great :)
