twenties at twenty years.

i came across these photos of women from the 1920s and decided it was going to be a twenties kind of day. within my wardrobe, i have the ability to fit any decade of the past hundred years, so why not? i never don the cloche-and-dropwaist-skirt ensemble, so i thought i'd try it.

for all the care that i put into dressing myself, i don't "dress up" that often-- i don't wear very much makeup, and i've only recently considered accessories more thoroughly. this was a definite one-eighty from what i'm used to, but it was nice. way more cutesy, but at the same time, more elegant than i guess my back-to-basics look is. i'm only imagining a party with the lights dimmed low and the music jammin' as ever.

and love for my grandmother, who left my family many things like this beautiful coat. she was born in 1904 and was my age right in the middle of the twenties. people tell me i look like she did. i'd like to pretend i'm her on this sun-glared day.

also, i'm obsessed with this lipstick from lime crime that my mother sent me. it acts like a really intense tinted chapstick-- moisturizing and saturated. i now own a black variety as well. i usually can't deal with lipstick because of how it gets everywhere, but this is an amazing creation. check it out.

spare change.

so, as the idea goes, i'm spending the last few days in my dorm, because i'm moving to another building on campus. a new roommate, a new room, so that's exciting and interesting, and i'll miss what's going on here, but it isn't like i'm moving far away. i just have to cope and handle these changes-- i make them a way bigger deal than they have to be sometimes. and some changes can be wonderful.

... also, i'm sneaking in a picture of my outfit today because it's simple and i can.

i've been sleeping so poorly the past week and a half or so, waking up at weird hours and sleeping in the middle of the day and acting like a zombie, but i think things are better right now.

expect new actual street fashion soon-- that part of the blog's been a little m.i.a., but it's coming back!
