28 September 2012: Rainbow

Augh. My old mirror broke – toppled right off the table I had it on. Sigh. So back to the brown corner.

Next week, they keep threatening 80s so I wanted to wear these pants at least once while I still could! And I really am wearing all the colors of the rainbow: the pants are red, yellow, green and blue, the shirt is orange and my hair is purple.

I have such a hard time with these shoes. They either feel catholic school or Michael Jackson, so I have a lot of difficulty in styling them. I spent a lot of time in front of the mirror this morning, trying to decide if I thought this was a bad outfit because it was bad, or because it was just different from my usual aesthetic. I went with just different, and I hope I wasn’t wrong! I kind of feel like I am half Kurt Hummel, half Blaine Anderson here, but that’s not technically bad.

Also! Just look what I picked up from the tailor at lunch:

I had pinned this to my pinterest in August or so, my mom saw it, and my parents surprised me with it the last time I went up to visit them. I am so madly in love with it. The swish of the skirt is gorgeous. I had to have a tailor put in a new zipper because the one it came with was tiny and fragile and ill-suited, and broke the first time I tried it on, but now it’s perfect. I can’t wait for autumn to come back!!
