part two of dressing like a girl

Went to this art thing in Olympia the other week. The weather was beautiful and I decided to wear this vintage dress I picked up in London. It's got a sweet, super easy shape and a kind of funky pattern. I like that it's not super fitted and there's no zippers. I can see myself wearing it a LOT this summer. I ate ice cream (pistachio gelato YUM), watched a goofy parade, saw my friends band play, and bought a weird apple print smock at a thrift store. I'm going to try pairing it with cutoffs this summer. I think it might work.

On Saturday I drove down to Olympia to return a shirt and hang out with the boy who the shirt belonged to. We listened to records and then went to this cool place in the woods with all these amazing grown over, falling down, brick and concrete buildings. It was really cool, even though it was muddy and we got really dirty crawling into some tight spaces. He also took me up to the highest point in Thurston County and it was windy and very very cold. I thought I was going to blown off the mountain!

p.s. I'm in Texas right now, and will be for the next two weeks. Blogging may be sparse but I'm taking lots of pictures and hopefully will get right back to it when I get back. I didn't bring my laptop, so editing photos is probably not going to happen. But be ready for total summery-ness when I get back. It's HOT here.

So I went down to Olympia for a few days this week. A friend of mine lives there, and I wanted to visit him. It was fun, but a little weird. I forgot how different Olympia kids, especially Evergreen students, are from Seattle kids. I don't fit in! Especially when I'm hanging out with anarchists. I'm just glad I didn't get scabies or salmonella.

I did bring my camera down, but when I got there, I realized the battery was dead. My phone died soon after, so I got absolutely no pictures from the weekend. Which is unfortunate, because I rather liked my outfits. Finally got my camera back in the action and took a picture right before I left for work this morning. I'm LOVING this awesome sunshine we've been having. And I really kind of dug this outfit. I got a ton of compliments at work, and got compared to Alice in Wonderland a lot. The dress was given to me by my cousin and is a little big for me, and the shirt I got years ago, can't remember where, but it has ruffles and lace and sequin details on the top portion.
