Quote!
"I'm kinda going for the amazonian look; I want to look young with the older crowd and older with the young crowd becuase I like sticking out." Marcy (a.k.a. Sassy In College), I think this to myself about 3 out of 4 mornings in the week lol thanks for letting me quote you
Hey Marcy?
Should I get a streak of red in my hair? Not cheesy fire truck red, but a good, deep red, underneath in my layers; a little discreet, but close enough to the front that if you're having over a two minute conversation with me, you'll notice it? Should I do it?
Welcome Sabbath Morning
Mkay, so I have two things that I got to dress up for today; goody :D first was church; Singles ward. The Meat Market. I tried to pull the whole vintage vibe deal, and got some compliments from my fellow strong and independent women friends. Also felt very self-gratifying running into an ex-fling boy and looking fantastic; just saying.
And then later on tonight I have a church meeting; instutute class president training. I thought about just going in sweats; but you should always be prepared to meet a tall, dark, handsome stranger. Unless you're just coming from the gym; in that case, its totally foxy and acceptable. Anyways, I decided to pull of some subtle military style, with the jacket and those gray boots. Happy Sunday :)

"Giving Things a Second Chance"
This is the motto for the DI (Deseret Industries). You take your stuff to them, the stuff that has been lying around in your garage and the back of your closet and at the bottom of your child's toy trunk, and they sell it, highly discounted. For a long time I just refused to go to the DI. I thought it smelled bad, and why on earth would I want to wear something that belonged to someone that I didn't know?
And then I actually went there. And beleive me; once you get in the swing of it, you can find some pretty fantastic stuff. Today was a fabulous DI Day; Those cowboy boots? Ten bucks. Yeah. Go to the DI, people. Ignore the smell, sort through the 90's denim, and embrace the vintage finds! It's FANTASTIC!!

P.S. I got made fun of so much today by my co-workers today for my yellow tights; who would have known how many jokes a car technician could make about a woman's pantyhose. But I ignored them because my yellow tights are foxy. Take that Rick Stubbs.

Christmas 2011
Yeah, its a little older, but I found this picture on my phone and thought "I might as well post it." I had church Christmas morning, which some people complained about. Gave me an excuse to buy a sassy red pencil skirt.

I'm Indie
Yeah, I know. I'm super trendy and all. But I like the whole Indie movement that we've got goin on right now. Lots of patterns and bright colors, big jewelry and lots of it. I felt awesome today. And that's what matters in MY oh-so-humble opinion.
-Jeggings (Rue 21)
-White cami (Aeropostale)/ long sleeved tribal print top (Rue 21)/ brown vest (Platos Closet)
-Gray 3 Tierred Moccasins (Zappos)
-Turquoise Heart Necklace (Rue 21)/ Stacked Bracelets (Target)/ Blue Flower Ring (Gift)
Just as a side note, those stacked bracelets are SUCH a good deal at target right now! It's 3 for $12, and with 5 or 6 you get the look you want, or at least I did. Just saying, it's my new favorite. The end :)

Dusty Rose
For a long time I just would not wear pink; The reason is so stupid that I won't even include it in the post. But just recently, I decided that not wearing the color was dumb; it's a positively adorable color, and done right, you can look very sophisticated. I've got a little vintage flair going on, as well. I'm a nerd. Anyways...

Hey there Fashionista's ;)
So I don't care if no one reads or follows my blog; I honestly just think it's a fun idea. To document the fabulous-ness that is Ashlynne Harkins. That sounded stuffy...but sometimes you just wake up and get ready, and then you look at yourself in the mirror and you're just like "Wow I look so fantastic." And you must document it. So This is how I am doing it :) Enjoy!
