he LIKES it likes it
anyone ever use that phrase? lol, sounds so silly, but it so accurately captures the full magnitude of the situation.
unseen denim jacket: yanuk
shoes: mine de rien (gave me blisters 2 days ago after a long hiatus...but i love them so. forgiveness was easy.)
so to continue the theme of wardrobe cleaning, i gave away a huge batch of clothing yesterday to a wonderful friend who has not really shopped since high school. no, seriously. she loves clothing and style but is more a makeup and hair kind of girl and spent all her energies building up that repertoire.
so while i was off bringing home garbage bags worth of stuff from the dreaded h&m (not so bad in fall/winter), she was perfecting her craft, being a grownup, investing in her future. that makes me feel quite flighty, i must say. so i gave her all of it. and gladly. she looks beautiful in it all. which also makes me quite sad. lol. kidding. i'm hoping she gets more use out of it all than i did.
i held onto this because of the cut. see the full skirt? the slightly nipped waist? the seaming? i pulled this out of a hole in my closet where i'd stuffed it after realizing i didn't want to hang it up as it would merely end up on the floor. then yesterday i crammed it into a drawer. i pulled it out today so the boy could take photos of me and my friend's latest present to me. i thrifted this dress for about $7 about a year ago and i've never regretted it, though i have parted with almost everything else i bought that day. it made me feel svelte and dancer-like and completely at ease with my body because it was such an easy fix with simple fabric. had i 8 more of these, i would probably wear little else in summer. it has no brand but it looks like a simple sewing project. if only i could sew. :) i will need to stick to similar silhouettes, i think, as it's more flattering to my body type than most other cuts.
also, the boy took like 100 pictures yesterday of my hair in straight form. says it 'brings back memories'. >:-(.
perhaps i should straighten my hair more regularly? i think he really prefers it this way, long and loose vs tightly coiled. might be time to incorporate a bit more variation. i did lose about 2 inches, i think, in overall length because i cut my own hair a few months back and my friend had to even it out and shape it. heh. yeah, i knew it was stupid but there were SPLITS, damnit.
fresh:
yeah, i was in the marching band. so?
have you guys figured out your bodies yet? your best colors? your best hair shape? your best (glasses) frames? was it hard? educate me!
many many many thanks to pret for her endless support and advice. you should hold seminars!
