the trials and tribulations of my uphill battle to dress myself.

Christmas in July (July in Christmas?)

Unfortunately, my tiny closet of a room, despite having a small built-in shelf, has defeated me in all my attempts to take pictures of my outfits in any semblance of attractiveness or photographic merit. So I am resigned to waiting till I go back to California next week and get my tripod. Until then, enjoy this outfit from July/August of this year. I’m really excited to get those shoes back on my feet, as I foolishly did not bring them to England!

Sewn at Home

My sister made this blouse for herself, but unfortunately when she finished it, it ended up not fitting right. She had me put it on to show off how ridiculous it was, but it actually ended up looking cute on me. Sadly I lost about 10lbs between these pictures and when I went to sew buttons onto it, and now it doesn’t look as good, so I just left it buttonless and forlorn at home.

P.S. Expect some more current outfit pictures in the coming weeks now that my black eye is gone!


Black Eyes and Broken Hearts

I currently have a lingering black eye from two weekends ago, so I haven’t been taking many pictures of myself. Ergo, I am going to post some backlogs of old pictures from this summer that I never got around to posting.

I thought these would be apt because I dressed up as Lady Gaga for Halloween (my friend’s camera died, so I’m not sure if there are any pictures) and these were the shoes I wore. This isn’t really a summery outfit, but I was test driving my then-new jacket for fall. I do not regret buying a leather jacket AT ALL. I wear it pretty much daily when it isn’t rainy, which hasn’t been very often lately, even in London!

The Hangover

I’m supposed to be packing for London, but all I want to do is take a nap.
