things in my closet i am loving right now

My navy-blue Hunter wellies I got because
1. it's amazing I've gone three years here in the PNW without rainboots;
2. i got PAID, son;
3. and i'm going on a train/walk daycation to Portland tomorrow, and it's going to rain.
4. the salesman at nordstrom was sweet.
Plaid. It is my goal in Portland tomorrow to find more plaid shirts at my favorite vintage store, buffalo. Well that, and pants... because all of mine have holes in them. Agh.

Cable-knit tights. Definitely will help me stretch out my love of shorts for a week or two into the fall.

This awesome dress I got from Gap. The silhouette is definitely not the same on me-- I got it in a larger size on accident, but I like it-- the length skims the tops of my knees, and the cut of it, while a little large, is pretty interesting and flattering. It took me a while to get used to it, though. My initial reaction was "I LOOK LIKE A GRANDMA."

Anyhow. End of my consumerist rambling. I'm on fall break right now, so I have quite a bit of extra time to shop. :)

PORTLAND TOMORROW!

tell me why

is it possible to work your ass off but still feel so frustrated?

I'm doing something wrong. Maybe I'm trying to pursue something not quite meant for me.

But how was that possible in the first place?

The Blue Scholars


Only two of a ton of new artists I'm loving.

I love being a radio DJ. The music library is AMAZING. CDs stacked from the floor to the ceiling on all of the walls not occupied by the transmitter and the equipment.
