nostalgia

today i woke up not wanting to get out of bed. cue the lazy song by bruno mars. but here am i sitting at my computer, very glad that i woke up. and as a little pick me up for the day, i decided to center my outfit around my favorite socks.

cinderella's always been my favorite disney princess. i have a collection of cinderella picture books because apparently every time we went to the bookstore, i would beg to buy another cinderella book. same story. probably the same pictures too.

i guess today's theme could be called nostalgia, considering i also wore a watch that my dad bought me in las vegas when i was six.

the shirt is thrifted and my shoes are "f"errys, fake sperrys. they're actually timberlands and quite comfortable. i especially like the purple lining inside and on the sole.

unwind and rewind

today was nothing short of hectic. i think i might have skipped dinner altogether. i don't even remember. i guess my pumpkin spice latte at 9 pm could count as today's evening sustenance.
i've been contemplating how to wear this dress for the longest time because of its odd hemline but i think i've found the solution.
voila!

self soothe

i think its the perfectionist in me. i came home from a two hour stay at starbucks attempting to study amid the cackling and "omg she is so annoying"s of one female individual who seemed to forget that she was in a study area not gossip central. talk about omg so annoying. so as a method of self soothing, i organized my closet according to type, color, and length.

that reminds me of a scene in the movie, life as we know it, when the katherine heigl refuses to pick up the crying baby to teach her how to to self soothe. but after a couple minutes, she ends up picking up sophie and coddling her. this week's been all about self soothing. i've found myself spending much (needed?) alone time and i would say it's been rough but it's been good. though i do crave the company of others, i feel like i'm strengthening my will power by living out the "i" in independence.
life is good. life is good.
