The joy of cramps: I spent yesterday almost entirely in bed, waking up only to take more painkillers or force a few bites of food before the nausea set in. FUN. Then, all that oversleeping gave me a headache, which this morning turned into the worst headache I've ever experienced. The irony being that every time I fell asleep, I woke up to more pain, but my head hurt too much to do anything but sleep. Mostly I just lay in bed groaning and imagining sticking my head in an olive press. Is it possible for eyeballs to just- explode? I came closer to answering that question than ever before.
I'm better now. But the last two days have not been very fun. And I'm afraid to go to sleep.
thorne_scratch pointed out that I haven't made any wardrobe posts in a while. I guess I got pretty distracted last semester and stopped taking pictures of anything, and now that it's summer I've been slumming around in tanks/shorts a lot and not looking very cute. I did wear an awesome dress the other day, though, and in honor of today's color theme (for USians), here it is:
The dress is vintage, from the 70s. The belt (which, if you can't see it, is white with blue polka dots) was an Etsy find, also vintage.
Ah, fireworks. Just what I needed.

ffffffff I just bought an amazing dress.
OH HI, NEW YORK. WHY YES, I DID WANT TO SPEND ALL MY MONEY ON CLOTHES. HOW DID YOU KNOW?
I usually don't bother buying vintage/secondhand clothing, because I just don't have the patience for it (I also don't entirely trust my own judgment--is it cool retro or just ugly retro?). This dress crossed my path, though--it was clearly meant to be. Sometimes these things just happen when you're on the way to the bathroom at a bar/gallery/boutique for an art show by a classmate from high school whom you haven't seen in like eight years and who just happens to also be in New York!
...right? Where was I? Oh, yes, it is black and all over sequins. ♥ Now I just need to get myself invited to some hip parties so I can dazzle the shit out of everyone.

I swear to God, I am going to call the fashion police down on this entire campus. We've had a bit of sun the last couple days, and it has clearly addled the brains of my fellow students, who seem to have forgotten that it is, in fact, still January. Today I saw a girl wearing a white skirt made of some flimsy material that barely covered her naughty bits, leaving her legs entirely bare all. the way. down...
...to her black Ugg boots. Now, either she wished to look like a prostitute (in which case, she succeeded!), or her thought process was something like this: "Oh, I'm wearing big fleecy boots so therefore my outfit is seasonally appropriate no matter what else I put on."
asefasdlfkjasd;lf no.
NO.
NO.
Of course, she was walking with her friend, a heavyset girl who was wearing one of those horizontal-striped shirts (how that got to be a fashion trend among the same group of girls who are constantly obsessing over how fat they are, I'll never know), with jeans tucked awkwardly into her teal--TEAL!!--Uggs, so it seems she's in good company. A company of people who make me want to PUT MY EYES OUT.
To everyone else, I offer a simple plea: I know you're anxious to break out your spring clothes again--hell, I've got some fabulous wedge sandals that are yearning to see the light of day--and I know that retailers think it's spring already; but for the rest of us here on PLANET EARTH, unless the hemispheres have switched since I last checked, it is still WINTER. So for the love of all that is holy, please, PLEASE put the sandals, shorts, short skirts, capris, sundresses, and cute little tank tops away for another couple of months. Seeing a bunch of affluent college kids voluntarily shivering along to class makes me want to hit things.
