Haven’t had such a good week, my cat’s ‘depressed’ which gets me down. Well at least work’s kinda cleared up, i hope i get to pick up some painting materials tomorrow. I realised eversince i got back from my trip, i haven’t worn my jeans since. I used to wear them regardless of how my legs boil in them in the terrible weather. I’ve been living in these shorts for awhile now.
Blouse: Beacon’s Closet
Inner tanktop: CK
Shorts: Old Navy
Shoes: Second hand
I made a trip downtown today and this is what i wore.
Vintage Silver Metallic Mini Dress: Beacon’s Closet
Black Skirt (underneath) : Made by Hellosparrow
I wore a skirt underneath cos it looked better than with black shorts. It gave an added poof and length so it worked for me!
And this is the outcome of my trip downtown,
because my mother’s opinion of my hair matters alot to me, because i always felt like a wannabe-girl-with-long-hair, because i noticed it made me miserable most of the time.
Happy days now with happier hair. (I hate to have to post more pictures of me than usual but sigh, this is my way of remembering my hair.)
when i don’t have my working bone raring to go, my first thought is to pick up something to alter. I got this top at Beacon’s Closet in Williamsburg. I loved that place so much, we first went to the Brooklyn outlet and i went, “Oh i am in heaven, i’ll try to be quick” to my bf. A few days later we went to the Williamsburg one and it was almost 5x bigger. My eyes beamed and in spite of me always trying to be quick, when i was done, he was asleep on the couch at the entrance.
I wore this out last night but it was way too big despite me belting it up. So i bought some (sewing) chalk on my way home and attempted to go from SuperSizeMe to FitMe. I cannot wait for the day to come when i have the courage to sew something from scratch. There are so many talented ladies out there who do their thing so well and they really inspire me. It’s just that they have the talent in their nimble fingers and they see clothing in some form of structure i’m sure.
I can’t help but feel warmth whenever i think of how everyone’s own thing can inspire someone else.
instead of starting on my work right after breakfast, i decided to hem a dress i got at Kensington Market and fix some holes as well. So now it gets to be hung with all the other dresses.
Vintage dress: Kensington Market
Shoes: UO
Bag: etsy
Some time this week i also cut my fringe and dyed my hair a darker shade of black. Makes me like my hair a little bit more.
I know i look stiff like wood :
Dress: From my mom (altered and shortened)
Belt: Purchased online
Shoes: gwenevere24′s etsy store
I headed out to thread my brows and have some chappathi while at it. Then i had some time to pick out my sister’s birthday gift as well as something for mother’s day. My mom requested for a journal/diary and i told her i’d get her the red edition moleskine (she doesn’t like her things in black) but i can’t find them in stores anymore. So i settled for a pretty journal in dust pink with a beautiful embossed cover. I also thought of getting her the latest Chloe fragrance just because it smells heavenly. But i don’t know, you reckon my mom who is approaching fifty would enjoy something Chloe Sevigny?
