I didn’t think much of this outfit but a lot of people at school liked it, so why not post it. I know there should have been a question mark at the end of the last sentence but I don’t think they really belong after rhetorical questions, and that “why not post it” was so indifferent that it didn’t warrant any superfluous punctuation. There ought to be a new punctuation mark for that apathetic tone.
UO skirt and shoes, hand-me-down tank top, F21 shirt.
P.S. A testament to how much I’ve grown in the past year: take a look at the length of my skirt in this post and compare it to the length of the same skirt in the photo above.

so I work at an ice cream shop and we’re allowed to take kiddie size ice creams. I decided that I would bring home an orange pineapple ice cream for my dad for Father’s Day since it’s his favorite flavor, but I forgot it in the freezer and I have never been so disappointed in myself.

so you say it’s your birthday
- I turned 16 yesterday.
- I had gotten a haircut the day before, and my Spanish teacher exclaimed, “¡la guapa chica hoy!” when she saw it. It’s just layers but everyone at school made a huge deal about it. I’ll post pictures at some point.
- I took an algebra test but it was on logarithmic equations and stuff so it was bastante fácil. (I find that I like a lot of Spanish phases more than English phrases, and I’ll thoughtlessly incorporate them into my speech. Doesn’t “bastante fácil” sound much nicer than “pretty easy”?)
- I GOT MY LEARNER’S PERMIT. I waited for an hour and a half at the Registry of Motor Vehicles, but I can now legally operate a motor vehicle in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts with a licensed family member aged 21 or older seated in the passenger seat.
- My mom went to Starbucks to get a coffee after I got my permit. I was waiting outside, and as she went in, I joked, “Tell them to give me free stuff because it’s my birthday.” My mom actually did tell them this, and the barista, who knows my mom, insisted on my getting a free drink. She asked me what I wanted, and I said I’d take a black iced coffee. She said, “That’s it? Well, you’re getting a huge one” and filled up a venti or whatever the hell they call their big cups. She was lovely and made my day and I was jittery for the rest of the evening.
- I went to Bertucci’s for dinner and a waitress asked me if I wanted a kid’s menu.
- After the meal, they brought me a slice of flourless chocolate cake that was actually the most delicious thing I’ve ever tasted. On the opposite side of the room, a woman was celebrating her sixtieth birthday. Sixty and sixteen.
- I recorded a video of myself dancing around my room to Birthday by the Beatles playing on the record player that I got for my birthday! It is absolutely cringeworthy and embarrassing but it seemed clever at the time.

I bought these leather saddle shoes when I went to the Brimfield Fair with Tia. I think my shoes match my garden well.

These pictures were taken at the May Fair in Harvard Square, a few weeks after the Boston Marathon bombing. The top photo is a trash can that has been covered up as a security measure, and the bottom photo is sidewalk chalk art.

houndstooth
Warning: there will be a lot of photos in this post because I am super proud of this skirt I made and I’m in love with the jacket that I bought from American Apparel with this money. I feel like this is slowly developing into a sewing blog, but there’s nothing wrong with that.
The skirt is made from a sparkly gold and black stretch knit, and the sweater is houndstooth jacquard. The skirt was fairly simple to make; just an elastic waistband and rolled edge hem, but I’m proud of it nonetheless. I’m wearing a hand-me-down Le Tigre tee shirt from Eliz and saddle shoes from Etsy.
I want you to fully embrace the beauty of this jacket, so I have presented you with multiple close-ups for your viewing pleasure.
I spun around to show off my circle skirt and ended up having way too much fun.
