i left you behind in the garden of time




1. Future Favorites shirt, H&M romper, 2. H&M dress, Crown Vintage boots
I wore the same bracelet with both outfits...I think it's from my Brownie Girl Scout days. It's holographic, and one of the only pieces of jewelry I wear frequently, because it goes with nearly everything.

we can go dancing



(lots of diversity in the poses here. also lots of ABBA lately)
I'm not a big makeup person. Not on moral grounds or anything, but just because I'm literally the worst at using it. Makeup application comes about as easily to me as witchcraft. Lipstick is pretty basic, though, so I've been getting into it lately. I've been impulsively buying shades I like, which is probably not the best idea, since there's no way I'll use even most of them up before they go bad. Unfortunately, there's not much of a point in wearing lipstick when you're a mile in the woods the majority of the time.
1. NYX Black Label Lipstick in Citrine, Mine blouse, Delias skirt, Saltwater Sandals, 2. Ben & Jerry's tshirt, Soho Jeans shorts

& i sit all alone, impatiently



(delias sweater, skirt from goodwill, saltwater sandals)



I didn't take a proper picture of my outfit before I left the house, so I took one in T.J. Maxx. The second pic is what I tried on there...the only thing I ended up buying was the polka dot skirt. I would've bought the shorts if they hadn't been totally see-through + had an awkward seam placement. The dress was super tight and a weird length, so it just looked gross and frumpy on me, A Short Person.
And that brings us to those shoes. I was in the clearance section of DSW when I saw them. They had been marked down from $80 to $10. They were some kind of knock-off brand. They were surprisingly easy to walk in. They were heel-less high-heel sneakers, and they were more than a little reminiscent of Barney the dinosaur. They were wonderfully (horribly?) gaudy, and also discounted, so I was basically required by law to put them on my feet immediately. And they actually fit! But I didn't buy them, for so many reasons.
