If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it!

This is pretty much the culmination of everything I could want in a sweater. Herringbone, 3/4 sleeves, pale peach, double ruffles, baroque-esque cut. It is perfection. If I'm lucky and lay-off the pound cake, it won't make me look like a cow with a butt-ruffle.  One can only hope.

*UPDATE*...this sweater is a piece of crap. A very sheer piece of crap. Shoddily made, sub-par fabric. Bahhh. I'm not happy with Urban Outfitters! The zipper on my new skirt actually broke the other day while I was riding my bike. My ass got to greet Baton Rouge on a sun-shinny morning. First that, and now this. F -, Urban Outfitters. That's your life-grade.

What I'm Wearing

Romper/dress/skort from Urban Outfitters..was destroyed at one point by a well intentioned smear of blue sharpie, so I had to repurchase it...that was a little painful. Look at my dormmmm!

Hot Dress

I want a hot dress. Like when people look at that they are like "Jesus Christ is that legal" in a good way, not in a prostitute way. There is a very thin line between criminal hot and just plain prostitute. I plan to skirt that line very closely. You're only 18 once, am I right?

What I'm Wearing

So What do you wear when its fall-time but summer heat? I don't know, but I bought this super cute bow the other day! Its been forever since I took a picture of my outfit...my skirt is brand-new from Urban Outfitters, top from The Gap, and bow from Frock Candy. If you look up you can see my paper cranes!

the bane of my existence

I hate this contraption. Never buy this collapsable minion of satan.


Im also an idiot. Off on my own, I'm doing 100% of my laundry for the first time. I decided it was a good idea to do my laundry at my friend stephanie's apartment. She lives on the 4th floor. The laundry is on the 1st...there is no conveniently located elevator. Not only did i have to run a marathon every time i wanted to check on my load, I didn't have enough money to dry all of my clothes. Begged some quarters off a neighbor boy. Mid-drying, my ride had to leave....so I get to sleep on wet sheets. It gets better. On the way up to my dorm, I leaped to avoid a large roach and THAT CONTRAPTION right over there, ripped. So now, I get to sleep on wet AND dirty sheets.


College. It's looking good.

slow death. slow slow death.

So I just discovered the huge downside to living in a dorm....although the walls may be cinderblock, the shrill pre-pubescent tones of Justin Bieber still manage to penetrate them. The chick next door is really into Justin Bieber. Really really into Justin Bieber. Its Bieber-paloozza . You know how they get heroin addicts off heroin and onto some other drug that is ok to be addicted to? I want to hand her this website in a syringe.  http://themountaingoatswillcureyourbieberfever.com/

Fall Fall Fall

I am so ready for you, Mr. Fall!! I simply cannot wait. I mean, everything awesome happens in the fall. Leaves turn colors, scarves get to be worn, I can walk to class without getting drenched with sweat, my birthday, my dad's birthday, my mom's birthday, thanksgiving (a holiday for food...my soul soars),  halloween, fudge, pumpkin carving, quits, candy corn, warm hats, sweet potatoes, butterbeans, angst-y looking skies, friends visiting, visiting friends, stockings, wool, fireplaces, knitting and my most favorite reason...fall is pretty much Christmas pre-game!  Don't even get me started on Christmas...
I'm slowly working out my fall wardrobe.. which will be my winter wardrobe as well. In Louisiana, fall feels a lot like winter except during fall you'll have a random summer day here and there.
The Asos fall lookbook has summed up the general idea..wools, thigh-highs, lots of gray, olive, and navy, black..slouchy.

I could live like this
