Oh, this looks much more like it.

Wore this for Last Hurrah Dim Sum before my brother went back to SoCal. We accidentally matched mustard yellow tops.

I must be mentally gay...

I am sorry these pictures are really bad. But I thought I should write this down.

Embarrassing behavior runs in the family.
Clearly, the soon-to-be-renamed Harry Potter musical is on my mind. I am lucky to have an equally ridiculous brother and obliging mother. And an uncle and little cousin who aren't embarrassed to be seen in public with us. This is us practicing our stoic boarding school faces in the garage before unleashing them on the unsuspecting public. My brother's pin says "PREFECT" on it and is from a London boarding school.

We walked around looking for fallen twigs to use as wands and conversing in British accents. I am not kidding.
I think my mother may have overdone it with the number of pictures she took. No matter.
My mother took a photo as my brother and I stood on a bridge gazing at a tree across the way, while people in rented pedal- and rowboats passed under us. We were trying to look ominous. ...Also, I'm short.
After that, I found a stick.
Then my brother found one, too, and we came across the second bridge, which led to this:
Embarrassing? Yes. And yet it was TOTALLY AWESOME!

Impromptu shopping trip:

Above, 7 for $25Notes:
- The United Colors of Benetton that isn't inside Westfield/the SF Shopping Center is closing down, so the entire spring collection was half off. I feel much better paying $22 for a white button-down from UCB than for any top from Forever21. I am happy. I would be happier if I had bought it in black as well, but that seemed excessive (considering I bought everything else pictured here first).
- Forever21 didn't have any plain black fake Wayfarers, so I settled for these. In retrospect I should have gotten the black splatter ones and the black version of the floral ones, but oh well. I'll probably sit on them and crush them soon anyway.
- I usually have a lot of trouble finding stuff at H&M. But I love tights. Especially $1 tights.
- American Eagle is really not my store of choice. However 7 for $25 is better than Victoria Secret's 5 for $25. And I want to be able to wear a thong without complaining, so I am trying a different one. TMI? Also I think I can go for like 2 months without doing laundry now...
