20+19.8.08


a little out of order, natch, but no worries. i just finished making alternations to this dress this morning - i bought it being a medium, so took in the side and shoulder seams. they're a bit sloppy, but oh well. i am not known for my skills as a seamstress. also hemmed it up by 5". inside are neat oldey-timey labels - "proudly made by a woman's union in the usa!".

cardigan : remixed beyond belief
belt : thrifted, goodwill. similar braided belts were at h+m for 20$! thrift shops in maine are overrun with them.
dress : thrifted, goodwill. altered.
shoes : target


i just bought these shoes at target for $5 - very pleased. they're a bit summery, but i feel confident about being able to pair the yellow with black tights in a month or so! super comfortable too.

the true glory of our boston trip - the elusive shirt-dress! i've been coveting one for a while, in the back of my mind, and i love this dress! the length, the puffed sleeves, gentle blue and white stripes, glorious.

necklace : h+m
dress : h+m
belt : thrifted, goodwill
sandals : old navy

another shot of this fantastic dress with my new thrift belt. i am in serious love.

i trimmed up my bangs this morning - a friend informed me i looked like a beatle, so i took off a little of the fringe in front.

this is long-coming on the w_r front, but i've been wearing the same three loose dresses for. weeks.
and the nature of this new scar is such that wearing pants is uncomfortable . . . but that don't matter, never really liked them anyway.
