A Pinafore and Some Whining

 You wouldn't believe I'd be so excited about a plain wool pinafore, but I am.  It did shrink a little in the wash, but that's my bad. It only cost me 50 cents, so it ain't no thang!
SO. I've got something to complain about! Me and my roomate live with one other girl, and there's been a fourth empty room for a semester that's just been filled. So we have a new suite-mate. She seems nice enough, but she has this alarm. She doesn't actually sleep in the apartment (I have no idea where she goes) and she has this 7 a.m. alarm that goes off at least once a week and it is so loud. Like, our rooms are separated by a living room, and this damn alarm wakes me up through closed doors and the headphones I put on to drown it out.
And she doesn't get home til 7:30, when she pops in and turns it off! When all you know about someone is that they stay out all night and have alarms that can only be described as inconsiderate, it's hard not to get judgey. For real, I'm way nicer on my blog than in real life, and I've had some choice words for her! Not to her face of course. As a friend once put it, "that's just manners."
 On a pleasanter note, I got this pretty little blouse from Megan's etsy store. Look at those cute daisies! Oh, and this lipstick is Revlon Ultimate Suede, and I like it. I have had a really good experience with their longwear stuff, which is my number one priority in a lipstick. The stain makes my lips pretty sticky, and this suede one is a bit better in that respect.

  1. Ooo that dress looks just perfect on you! What a versatile piece I'm sure that will be. I love Revlon lipsticks too, I wear the matte kind and it's the only lipstick I wear!

  3. Oh lady, I would just make that dang alarm clock disappear! Once or twice is one thing but that's just disrespectful imo!

    1. It really is! I can normally sleep through it because I'm such a heavy sleeper, but if it happens again we'll have to take drastic measures!

  4. You know, I feel like your photography improves every time I come to the blog. Not that those skills were bad before, but I just really like the composition of the two detail shots of your shoes and necklace and that last three-quarters length shot.

    Plus, you know, your shoes are adorable and so is this look. You have such a distinctive style!

    What an inconsiderate roommate! Hope you and your other suite-mates talk to her about this habit. There are ways to still have manners and address issues.

  5. I seriously love everything about this, especially the blouse and necklace! By the way, I don't think I've mentioned how much I love these glasses on you. Are they the Firmoo ones? I might have mentioned this before, but I'm dumb and don't remember these things.

    Also, ugh. Your suitemate. That sound so annoying :/

  6. Cutemus maximus outfit! I love the herringbone weave knit - best buy!!

    I feel your pain with the alarm situation! I recently holidayed with a friend whose watch alarm went off at 1.00 am every night (she didn't know how to turn it off...)

    She never knew how close she came to being smothered in the minute between 1.00 and 1.01am each night!
