previously in my life

Ten months is a long time. While I've been away I've been wasting time on the internet, getting obsessed with movie stars and tv shows, and generally not having much of a life, as per ush. Here's a brief summary!

+ I started tumblr-ing again
+ I got clip-on 3D glasses for people who wear glasses (life changing!)
+ I'm obsessed with Maurice Ronet (fav. film of his: The Fire Within)
+ I'm binge watching and loving Arrow (thanks Casey!)
+ I met David Duchovny! (!!!) and he said he liked my hat! (!!!!)
+ I also met Jane Krakowski! I wasn't wearing a hat that day
+ I started a tumblr dedicated to awesome sleeves, because why not
+ I started scanning my delia*s catalog collection
+ Me and Nicole went to a Chris Hardwick show (fun!)
+ I had my wisdom teeth removed (not fun!)
+ I opened my own online storefront
+ I got one of these tablets (also life changing!)
+ I went to Seattle to visit my awesome friend, The Millie
+ So far this year I've read 23 books (this was my favorite)
+ I'm obsessed with Hindsight (it's on hulu! go watch!)
+ I completed my 10 months of training at the CIA (shh...)
+ Haha, I'm just kidding
+ OR AM I? ...

speaking of bicycles

Yesterday I went bicycle shopping and thought this seemed like an appropriate bike-testing outfit. I ended up getting a pretty blue cruiser and can I just say that resisting the urge to ride the bike down the aisles at Target was one of the hardest tests of willpower I've ever had to endure.

it's not like riding a bicycle

I don't remember how to do this. Taking pictures, I mean. I've still been getting dressed the last 10 months. I swear.

it's a good thing I never tried smoking...

... because apparently I'm really bad at quitting things.

I'm like one of those singers who keeps having retirement concerts every five years. Or a furniture store that's been having a "going out of business" sale for the last decade. I'm the most indecisive person on the planet. Or maybe I'm not. Or maybe I am.

Anyway, it looks like you just can't get rid of me. Sorry!! I'm not planning on blogging the way I used to, but I am blogging. I don't want to keep a schedule, I don't want to accept advertising (or c/o stuff), I don't want to write much text to go with my posts, and I don't want to actively promote my blog. So basically I just want to create content and enjoy myself. I don't want this to be anything other than a fun way for me to share my outfits, my artwork, my projects, and occasionally my strange, strange thoughts. Sound good?

So as you can probably tell from my photo, some things have changed in the last 10 months! I went back to my natural hair color out of sheer laziness (no more dying my hair every three weeks, huzzah!) and I'm now wearing glasses full time. (Sidenote - if you're like me and have trouble finding cute glasses that don't cover your eyebrows, these are perfection.)

Is it crazy that one of the main reasons I decided to come back was to share this one particular outfit? It's definitely crazy. BUT. I felt it was important that I share this groundbreaking discovery. You know those lace dresses that come with flimsy, clingy, unattached slip dresses? They are my new summer wardrobe holy grail. I've been wearing them with rompers underneath instead of the slip dresses and not only is it pretty but it's like wearing shorts while looking like you're wearing a dress. You can ride your bike, sit cross-legged on the grass, etc. It's awesome.

I think that's about it for now. See you soon. xo
