Here's a vest close-up. We've had this vest in the dress-up bin for ages, and it's great to see it finally being worn in real life.
Clip-on earrings from my rather massive collection.
And handwarmers that I'm guessing my other sister knit herself.
April and I will try to be better about getting more of her outfits up here. Cheers!
I spontaneously embroidered this on my friend Dakota's jeans this evening, while he was wearing them. Below is a picture taken a couple weeks ago when I was feeling super awesome. And my hair was crazy that day, which I loved.
Lately, I've been hearing a lot of gossip going on, and I really hate it. I especially hate it when people come to the conclusion that someone is doing something "just for attention" and then they write that person off for it. If someone is doing something for attention, whether consciously or sub-consciously, it's often because they need help and attention. Ignoring them will only make matters worse. This has just been frustrating me lately and I needed to get it out there. I also think that we each have so many issues of our own that we can hardly make that judgment about other people. And if someone is doing something for attention, they still need love, maybe even more so than ordinarily.
Aqua and red are my favourite colours together right now. It's such a fresh combination. I just got this dress and coat at a Salvation Army sale yesterday, and I love them muchly. Sometimes I try not to match so much, but I do it almost compulsively. For instance, my scarf is exactly the same colour as the drawing on my arm (not pictured) and my eyeliner (except you can't really see that either), and I wore red earrings to match the red in the skirt. And the off-white in my skirt is the same off-white as that in my coat. I win at matching!
I love the black trim on this coat too. And it has a miniature pocket flap on one side above the regular pocket.
Dress-Salvation Army, coat-Salvation Army, scarf-a stand in London, black boots-handed down from my aunt, earrings-made by me, sweater-Forever 21.
I promise I was not intoxicated during this despite appearances.
Even though I was not aware that this picture was being taken and I think I was adjusting my dress, I really love it. I just love the naivete or something that my obliviousness to the camera projects and my feet are unconsciously very slightly pigeon-toed, and I just see this very different character in the picture that's definitely not really me anymore.
Closer shot of the skirt and shoes. I loved those shoes.
And... from the back.
