broken

I broke my shopping ban on Saturday. (Well, technically, I didn't because I said "Don't buy any clothing or accessories for yourself until June 1, 2009. (But recognize the exceptions.)" and I think this counts as an exception.)

Again, overpriced. But, um, I could care very little less because 1940s clip-ons?!

Thank you, estate sale. Whoever used to live there, you were probably an amazing person to have owned these.

And the cheaper ones, which, in retrospect, blend into my ears and make them look huge and misshapen.

Above, earrings: vintage. Coat: delia's. Skinny black pants: GAP, gift. Shoes: Harajuku Lovers via Nordstrom Rack.

Hee-hee. Hollyhock. There was also a green pair that I did not buy. But I can't find Bohmer online... the internet has failed me twice now... Why have you forsaken me?

the stars bend over sideways

Another silver spoon because I wanted a serving spoon. The internet cannot tell me what this one is exactly.

I do know, however, that it says "Boulenger" and "Blanc 84," which the internet says means it's silverplate (not sterling), and French (if that was not obvious).

fame is a fickle friend

By the way, I'm done with

and am just starting

but it's going to take incredible willpower to read anything other than

but I'm trying. I've never read Vonnegut, and I hear I'm missing out.

Thanks, TK!

I've spent today sorting out yet more apartment stuff, polishing silver (similar motions are required to clean the Chain Chomp), and failing at internet research on vintage things. And I haven't learned any more Arabic letters. Fail. But this arrived!

This was overpriced.

But I bought it anyway for the OLD THINGS! factor. This is totally going on my wall. Wherever that wall may be.

Dear Ms. B,

I never know how to thank you for being both my teacher and supporter.

Above, fedora that now looks okay with my short hair: Forever21. Green tee: Lady Footlocker + silkscreen. Dress: made by my grandmother. Sweater: Ann Taylor Loft. Belt: GAP, brother's. Tights: Look from London via Buffalo Exchange. Oxfords that were supposed to be retired: Payless.

I don't know if it's the clothes or the full face of makeup, but I feel like a girl.

shed pounds fast

There's nothing so soothingly painful as sewing blisters! Absolute love.

Not the prettiest or neatest (ahahaha. That is like 3 layers of backstitching...), but my lighter Levi's from Costco (!) wouldn't have gotten any more wear if I kept them boot cut, so I skinnified them. They originally looked like this: 1, 2 (fourth outfit), 3 (7th outfit)
