*rubbing eyes, tryyying to stay awake*

I didn't get a chance to post yesterday (I was being social, and living IRL!), so this was yesterday's outfit. I told you it would be inspired from the graffiti picture, and it is, but mainly the colours - which you can't really tell from the pictures :(((. Sometimes I get really, really frustrated because I have soooo many good ideas but I don't have the clothing to make those ideas reality, and I'm trying to save for my exchange to France. Gar money makes us all mad.
Money, and that it's sometimes hard to find a spot for pictures. I've got a pretty tight schedule - LOL I sound ridiculous - and so I don't have a lot of time in general. Well, some days I have a lot of time, some days I've got no time, not even to breathe. But I'm trying to make it work, and I gotta find more spots in my spare time, other then in my messy house. BETTER SPOTS TO COME! :D



I have this thing in which I'll like a dress for a while, then I won't (actually, that's the same with most of my clothes). But for dresses I just use them as skirts, pulling the top inside of it and belting it (sometimes paper bag effect, sometimes a big belt that covers the fold, etc). I did that with this dress, which is incredibly old and sooo not me, unless used as a skirt. INNOVATION FTW.


I had tryouts again this morning, so right now I'm just in a soccer jersey for my favourites, Toronto FC, and camp sweatpants. I'm off for a nap (I know I'm tired because my eyes are randomly crossing themselves if I look at one spot for too long), but hopefully later I'll put together something good.
OUTFIT:
skirt - dress, unknown
shirt - h&m mens
belt - gift
coat - volcom

alliterations are awesome.

I just finished dinner after coming home from my friend's house and it's already 7:30pm. 7:30?!? Where did the day go? Since I don't have any pictures from today (trust me, it wasn't that exciting), here's a few from the ending of August (I think) - not exactly that exciting either. I've had these plaid jeans for a year now, I find it funny that NOW people are wearing plaid a lot. Every says I'm ahead of the time, maybe it's just time is too slow for me?
Oh yeah and, these photos are blurry and strange.. I'm sorrrry! :(
Today was very facepalmy. It's insane how facepalmy today was. In my whole class, only about 3 people had heard of Coco Chanel, and only 1 other person knew who she was! I cannot believe that at ALL. IT'S INSANE. I FEEL BAD FOR THE POOR KIDS!
OUTFIT: shirt - h&m mens shirt, plaid pants - h&m, shoes - unknown

Just, ye know, FYI, the girl on the right is my French exchange partner, she goes home oh Tuesday the 13th... she will have been here for two whole months! Times flies.......
I keep wanting to go shopping and buying stuff I see (in-store and online) but I'm trying to save money because of my trip to France, I'm expecting to spend a lot of money there (in truth). The other problem is there is like, three stores in my entire city I shop at: H&M, and two little resale stores downtown. That's pretty much it. We don't really have vintage stores and our thrifting...well, it's hard to find actual good stuff. But enough complaining.....


This is defintely my outfit inspiration for tomorrow. It was in an alleyway when we went to Kenzington Market in Toronto a few weeks ago, I'm still a bit upset I couldn't find a whole lot there that I loved. Oh well though, at least I had some really amazing tofu vegan sandwich, a onesie, and this photo.

Until tomorrow,
x.

i should be looking for my soccer flip flops right now.

I know I said I would try to post yesterday, but, alas, I couldn't get on the computer. Apparently French Exchange teenagers like the computer. Anyways, the football game was meh, I barely actually watched the game, it's more about social stuff here. We had our first tryout for soccer this morning and I'm really happy, the new coach seems really good and I think our team will be good.


This might be my favourite shirt I own. I don't even know anything about Superman (besides the fact that he's super, but that's obviousss), but I love love love this shirt. I wish I bought it a little bigger but oh well.



I feel like Supergirl right now, and I don't know why. Last night I was in a really bad bad baaaad mood (cue MJ) but this morning and right now I feel kind of invinceable. It's supercalifragalicstickexpealadious. Really.

This outfit is actually from August (what? You mean the month that was supposed to be summer but wasn't really? Yeah, that month). I was planning on wearing this to Virgin Fest Toronto (which was AH-MAZE-IN-GG) but for some reason I chickened out. I wish I had have worn it now :(.

OUTFIT:
shirt - D-tox
skirt - folded dress from F21. :S
belt - found it in my room one day, probably a friend's belt
