bored

Good weather for me is mid 70s, when I can basically wear whatever and feel comfortable. I woke up at 7:50 to hit the Ackerman MONSTER sale with B and T. Clearance was 50% off and all other UCLA gear was 25% off. I only needed one shirt, but ended up buying some Burts Bees Res-Q that B says smells like his grandma, a folder, mini sharpie, and some other junk. ohh shopping bliss!

I went back to sleep at 9, forgot to set my alarm, woke up from a text at 12:30 (THANKS), put this on, ran to get coffee, aaand ran to my 1pm class. whew!

I don't know what you guys think about the "leggings as pants" debate, but I do know today's fit was hella comfortable. And even though I thought I'd be self concious about my butt, I wasn't!
Changed into this for night cause it got windy.. going for the equestrian look ya know? HEHE these are Serena's Chinese Laundry boots on Gossip Girl season 1!


AND... "Bizniz is helllla sick wit it. I just wanna know where da gold at." for .. you Connie.

and dressup with my roomie

THIS is my roommate Tessie. She bought this dress from american apparel that is SO EFFING VERSATILE. We spent about an hour playing around with the straps and taking pictures, when she should have been studying for her psych midterm and writing a paper. OH yeah, I guess you can see bits of my tiny room too. On the left is the bunk bed, on the right is my loft/desk/closet. There's a HSM3 poster on the door above the mirror. aaand my senior panoramic, so I remember what ya'll look like kekeke.

oh yeah ignore my face please.

recent buys

I'm not much of a thrifter, but a recent trip to a Goodwill in Santa Monica changed all that. C, M, K, and I took the bus about 20 min to a shadier part of town, but it was definitely worth it. And by shady i mean.. LA shady, like hella metal fences, wide streets, homeless people, and jewish thrift stores. HA just kidding, it wasnt bad. I emerged from the Goodwill with this leather belt, blazer, skirt, the vase in post previous, and a killer allergy attack. All for under $16. :)
I want to change the buttons on this blazer, maybe after midterms.

finally thrifted a vase at Goodwill with C, M, and K for all the roses i'll be picking.

DIY tank-tee

Tuesdays mean no class for me! So out of procrastination and wardrobe boredom, I did some tee surgery to replicate a FashionToast looking tank. I took a rather unremarkable white tee (stolen from my dad's closet), cut the sleeves, neck, and stitched some of the hems. I think I need some fray check to seal the edges, but the nearest fabric store is like 30 min by bus! grrr

poor college kid tools.
poor college kid hanger
poor college kid photoshoot
