cha-ching

    

coat - gap, cardigan - thrifted, tee - pacsun, pants - gap, shoes - pf flyers, pewter bird necklace - vintage, scarf - mom's, bag - mom's

This was another work/school outfit. With colder weather, I'm definitely definitely dressing better, as I predicted. I got this coat several years ago and don't wear it very often, but I'm not sure why. It has a good shape, has a nice collar detail, fairly warm, and has a pretty lining. I love this necklace. A friend of my family's gave it to me years ago and unfortunately two of the little birds' tails have broken off. I still love it. I've started carrying this bag more because it fits all my school stuff; watercolor paints and paper, lunch, books, etc. And I stole the scarf I'm wearing in my hair from my mom. It's long and fairly thin so I just wrapped it around twice and tied it in the back.

I got paid yesterday, so who wants to go shopping with me? Haha, actually this paycheck is earmarked for school stuff, but the next one is totally going to be a shopping spree.

Yesterday after work Justina and I headed into Seattle for a party Shane and his roomies were throwing a party at their place in the U District. We had fun but everyone else left by 12:30. What kind of party is that? Justina, Amanda, Harry, Shane and I hung out in his room until about 3, writing songs about absent friends and starting tickle fights. J and I stayed at Shane's and then today we met up with Michael and went to Memo's (it's this 24 hours Mexican place on the Ave) and then Neptune Music to look for Deftones videos and Depeche Mode records, and after hung in the park.

I wore my favorite flannel last night, but changed into jeans before going to the party. I'd just washed my work pants and didn't want to spill stuff all over them and go to work smelling all boozey. I'm thinking I need a haircut again. Although I love the long hair, it's kind of a pain and only looks good part of the time. The bangs definitely need a trim again too. I threw an extra shirt in my bag last night so I had something clean to wear today, which is always nice when you're not going straight home. I still looked scuzzy as shit though.

coat - old navy

Well, I've had my first week of school now. I only have classes two days a week and I'm only taking art classes this quarter. This should be fun. My day is rather long, especially on Tuesdays, when I have to go to work right after school so I'm out of the house from about 8:30 am to 9:30 pm. I think I'll survive though.

tee - delia's, sweater - thrifted uniqlo, jeans - pacsun, shoes - pf flyers, necklace - gift from ghana

This is one of my favorite necklaces. I have some family from Ghana and they gave me this necklace. The beads are swirled red and white glass and feel super cold when you put it on but warm up to your body temperature and feels really nice after awhile. I think I need to cut my bangs again. They're all in my eyes again.

just waiting for my paycheck

cardigan - target, tee - pacsun, pants - gap, shoes - pf flyers

Another work outfit. I'm getting better about finding things that don't make me totally depressed in their boringness for work. It helped that yesterday morning was rather cold, so I could wear the cardigan. I also wore a neclace with this sweet blown glass pendant and some little earrings, and left my hair down, all of which made me happier about how I loooked. Talking to a coworker yesterday, I realized that it's probably not a big deal to wear printed shirts, as long as my apron covers them. Who would even know? And yeah, we have to wear aprons. Ugh. But on the bright side, I've had several ideas for knitting projects and I need to get art supplies for school (starts tomorrow...why oh why did I register for a 9 am class?) and I can get them all at work for 20% off.

a post for a rainy day

coat - old navy, concert tee - depeche mode, skirt - secondhand, tights - garage sale dkny, shoes - converse

I wore this yesterday when Justina and I went to look at Halloween stuff. Sparkly skulls, bats, and such seem to be really popular this year and I like it.

I originally wore this with a different skirt, a plaid pencil skirt, and I liked it better like that, but the skirt was just way too small and it was uncomfortable. I like the black skirt too though. These tights are seriously the best tights I've ever had. I got them new in the package at a garage sale several years ago and they've held up amazingly well. They're microfiber and ribbed and totally opaque, so I wear them any time I need black tights.

do the puyallup

On Wednesday Justina and I went to the Puyallup Fair with Liam and his friends Spike and Ben. I hadn't been in a couple of years because Puyallup is kind of out of the way and fairs are expensive, but we missed the Evergreen State Fair this year and I really wanted to go to a fair. I love fairs!

I got this shirt when I was shopping for work pants. It was on sale and I really like it, even though it's a little big. I like the way it looks like I'm wearing a guy's shirt though. And the white color and cuffs with the blue shirt is just awesome. I'm still loving the PF Flyers. They are ridiculously comfortable and just look awesome, in my opinion. Favorite sneakers ever.

The boys played games but didn't win anything, and we ate tons of cotton candy and other junk and went on lots and lots of rides. We rode all three roller coasters, even the super old one where you think the car is totally going off the rails.
