Finally feels like spring

Hey guys! I swear I'm still around, just juggling a lot of stuff right now. Schoolwork, balancing as a performer/choreographer/instructor for the color guard, and planning Senior Ball... just a lot on my plate. Got loads of outfits though! I hope all of you darlings are just peachy.

College admissions came back! So far, accepted by a fair amount of uni's, rejected by UCSD >:( Hoping to hear back from Berkeley soon... Wish me luck!

I'll be back soon. xo

For sale?

So I'm on the edge about whether or not to sell this dress. I love it so so so much, but I have to finally admit that it was not meant to be. (I have to squeeze into a tiny corset first, and even then it still doesn't fit!) But before I officially go through the arduous process of selling (I think I just suck at it, online-wise), just wanted to see if anyone was interested first...



Sorry for the crappy photo quality, but here are some details on it:

• Waist: about 24 inches.
• Strapless, back zipper.
• Tulip skirt, it's in this wrap style that drapes really well
• Big bow with jewel-encrusted band on the center.
• Darts on the bust area.
• Excellent condition. No visible tears or anything.
• No label.
  
• For reference, I'm about 5'6.

Feel free to comment/email (tospendtime@gmail.com) if you have any other inquiries or are interested.

I'm also thinking of setting up another blog to sell items from my closet... much like Kristine or Lulu.

in the way of ghostly spaces

Can you tell I'm channeling a bit of AW here?

Took a trip to San Francisco with some dear friends yesterday, and it was really fun, despite the fact that we couldn't go too far (nor too quickly) due to my newly sprained ankle. However, I did get to go to H&M for the first time (gasp, I know), and drool more over the entire AA store. I think I need just about everything in there, but I only bought a plain white t-shirt and the circle scarf in black. And of course, helped my t-shirt-and-jeans friend pick out some nice basics.



Cue me trying to figure out having some fun with the scarf.





I hope you all have a wonderful rest of the weekend. And I leave you on this illustrated note:

Target sweater, Mervyn's shorts, Marshalls tights, Doc Martens boots.

Trying times

As of this moment, self-imposed shopping... ban. Well, I'm reluctant to use this word because it won't be a complete, 100% ban. Maybe... a... 98% ban. My bank account is seriously depleting, and when you have no job, this is suckage. Only things I plan on buying in the next week are possibly some Starbucks tomorrow morning and the AA circle scarf on Friday. (After watching all those how-to videos on diff' things to do with the scarf... I'm hooked. AA, I'm basically your bitch.)

From all the readers I've been getting lately (but so few comments, what's the dealio?), any advice on how to get through the nasty habit of shopping excessively? Any would help... really. Thanks guys.

when you sigh.

Sorry I'm such a terrible blogger. I haven't really been putting too much effort dressing myself. Going through a bit of trouble in my personal life, not too much I can say about that. Thanks to the few readers who still read/comment and such. :)

I saw the local symphony play last night... made me remember how much I really do love strings. And gives me a desire to practice, heh.

Hope you lovely ladies (and gents) are doing well.

P.S., I've had Lykke Li's Youth Novels album on repeat for the past two days. It's a huge dance party, I highly recommend taking a listen.

AA cardigan, Lykke Li tee, Target jeans, f21 earrings.

HOLY CRAP

Okay, I know she was in their campaign... but it's still totally weird to stumble upon one of your favorite bloggers whilst doing some online window shopping.


Karla's way hotter than any of their other models, don't you agree?

You know I don't like to get caught

After mentally running into walls and dying over Calculus (that wasn't supposed to make sense...) I decided to drink Mountain Dew and finally enter my look into this week's Weardrobe contest instead! (Don't you just love that the skirt alert header?) So having edited my photos to upload, why not share 'em with my beautiful readers in an outfit post too, right?

Because blogging pwns indefinite integrals and sigma notation ANY day:




I figure with the contest being all about spring (hence the 'skirt alert'?), I'd keep the legs and feet bare. Nice to know I still have my tan in February, haha.

I was just playing around with this outfit over the weekend, but I did end up wearing it in public (school), albeit the modified version. Just imagine adding white straight-legged jeans, a dark blue thermal, a cropped green jacket, and the charcoal AA unisex cardigan, nixing the plaid shirt. (If you can't tell, it was really cold.)

...Probably should've taken a picture of it. :/ Oh well, I ended up being soaked half the day anyway. Okay, not for that long, but really, it's been raining for the past week or so... today was a nicer, more mild 62 degrees.

Oh, and the AA cardigan... why is it one of the best things that I own?? It's so thick and comfy and flattering and sturdy that I can't help but love it. SO glad I abstained from buying a cheap crappy one from f21 like everyone else. (Is it unhealthy for me to want to wear it every day this week??) I would've gotten one earlier, but the closest AA is in SF (ACTUALLY, my friend from Napa just told me there's an AA outlet in her area... didn't even know those existed!!!), and I just happened to be in SF this weekend.

I'm not one to take spontaneous jaunts to more-fun-than-my-city places haphazardly, but my friend happened to have an extra ticket to the freaking LYKKE LI CONCERT... and fuck YES I jumped on that shit. :) Aka sweet new pictures. Be sure to check back for the next post ;)

Here's a little teaser...



DIY circle scarf, Marshalls nightgown, Hot Topic tie, random (and kinda old) plaid shirt, AA polyester tulip skirt (in 'silver cloud').
