These are from last June, during finals. I know — epic fail. I should have had these up ages ago!!

But alas, here they are! This is what I look like when it’s unbearably hot outside and I don’t have time for makeup aside from concealer… I was going for “hopelessly chic,” but I’m pretty sure I only got to the “hopeless” part of it. Even my hair looks like crap! (I got fed up with it a few days later and re-framed my face… ended up cutting off about an inch. Or three. It went pretty well if I may say so myself.)So ahhhhmmm, yah. Excuse the fact that the photos are unreasonably grainy and the fact that I look like crap.

I don’t really wear colour, or whites, but I couldn’t pass up this shirt. I just love it! Everything worked against it away from whatever is the opposite of “in its favour” (it’s from American Eagle, which I do NOT shop at, it’s white, there’s colour, and a friend of mine has it though I totally bought it first) but it’s just… pretty. Not to mention, soft.Wearing: AE tee, Jacob shorts, and an American Apparel tank.

And on the topic of that tank, which you can sorta see in the first pic: I adore it! I have four of them; two black, this one (eggplant) and a red one (burgundy). They’re the “boybeater,” and though they’re not made as well as they were when I bought my first one*, they’re still great. At $17/each** they’re more expensive than I would normally spend for a tank. However, they stretch to fit you absolutely perfectly, and go right back to off-the-shelf brand spankin’ new condition once you wash them.

*the seams used to be stretchy, which makes for a SUPER comfey layering shirt. Not anymore, though :(
**arrrgh nevermind, they’re now $19 each. Which makes them a little less of a great buy, because they’re less awesome and more expensive. Boo.
