The weather today wasn't exactly cheery, but I looked like a freakin patch of sunshine in my sparkly new dress! Never don't feel great in polka dots, twee collars, and straw hats. I've been waiting for these shoes to go on sale for ev er (because I don't buy clothes from UO full price for several reasons) and they finally did! I had a similar DIY pair last year but they kept coming undone.
On my day off yesterday I went shopping with my sister (as if I have money to spend) but I don't feel guilty! We had a good time and I bought her some glitter eyeliner to try and repay her for the great birthday presents she got me this year - eyebrow makeup and a blender, like, what else could I need?
Work goes by pretty quickly, which is nice, but I always feel pretty pooped afterward. I had planned on getting Trav to take pictures for me today but he got a real bad case of heartburn so I just took these on my patio as it started to rain. This patio will look nice someday, I swear. Or maybe it won't... I really don't see us renewing our 12 month lease if ya get my drift.

As I'm still settling in and wishing we had bookshelfs to unpack our knick knacks and books onto, the most notable things I spend my free time doing are painting and watching anime(s). I'm watching Utena and Nichijou with Travis, and working through Code Geass on my own time. I have some thoughts about that show, and most of them aren't good. I started Oran High Host Club last night and it's a delight and a departure from all the shonen I've been devouring (>100 episodes of Fairy Tail lololol). Yeah so gimme recommendations!!

You look delightful! Like a character out of a movie!
ReplyDeleteI don't watch a ton of anime anymore (no time), but did enjoy Full Metal Panic, especially the second season. It fluctuates between very slapstick, and light hearted episodes to very military/fighting ones but I think you'd like the lead female character.
Thanks girl, I'll look into it!
DeleteYOU LOOK SO FLIPPIN CUTE GAH. I want this dress.
ReplyDeleteAw this dress is just the sweetest! Why are you not proud about your dress coming from Forever 21? A cute dress is a cute dress, wherever it came from. Anyway, I'm glad to hear you went a little shopping with your sister. It's always nice to go out for some shopping therapy:)

Only because I've been trying to shop more ethically and less at "fast fashion" stores like f21. Since everything there is so cheap I worry about how much the people who make their clothes get paid.
DeleteThat dress is so cute and I LOVE your shoes. I do the same thing, I just stalk a particular item until it either goes on sale or shows up on eBay ;).
ReplyDeleteYou are too cute, Miss Bright Spot :) Like a toadstool fairy ballerina!
ReplyDeleteYou are so pretty! :D I started on Utena recently.. and I'm thinking of doing Fairy Tail on the side since I've heard some people obsess over it. Must be good then?!~
ReplyDeleteFairy Tail is good! It's got some problems, like it's not super polished and sometimes the dialogue falls flat, but overall I really enjoy it! I like the characters and story line a lot.
DeleteI love all of your outfits -- you have such a whimsical spirit about you.
ReplyDeleteAlso, your background has strawberries, stars and ice cream! I think we'd make wonderful friends :)

I hope you find some bookshelves soon! That would be the worst feeling having a place and having books and things to go on the shelves but not having shelves. I am currently in the same situation because I am looking to get a place but I don't even have my own mattress and all of my stuff is basically in taylorville so I have to pay for a huge uhaul to drive 5 hours north to get my stuff here. Just be thankful you were able to get a new place. :) good luck!
