For You


dress: c/o sugarlips, purse: gift from nicole, heels: thrifted
Currently sitting in my little corner nook of a desk, sipping away at some freshly brewed French roast and making the occasional glance out the window. Yesterday and now today may perhaps be the first days where the sun never comes out. Of course, I was expecting it at some point. We are in Seattle, after all! The first rain is supposed to arrive this weekend - which just so happens to be the weekend of our dorm retreat. Cross your fingers I can find suitable clothes for running around/getting wet and/or muddy. (because, believe it or not, this girl still doesn't have rain boots...)

My life yesterday consisted of a lazy morning where I had no classes to get to; an afternoon of a bus trip to upper Queen Ann where Kristie and I treated ourselves to a delicious mocha at this local coffee shop called Cafe Ladro (which I definitely would recommend!) We also took a trip to Safeway where it was reconfirmed that being a real life adult who has to real life shop is difficult. I bought $50 worth of groceries and I'm kind of like "wut". I think it's time to get a job maybe... perhaps.

In the evening, I spent time with some new found friends, Katie, Henry, Kenneth and a slightly less new friend, Sam. Pictured below is Katie and Henry... Katie took these photos for me! I awkwardly asked them when they popped up in my room and they agreed. :) I received this beautiful dress from Sugarlips about a week ago and I've been waiting for the perfect weather to wear it and I think yesterday was that day! I got quite a few compliments on it too! I love the detailed bodice and the loose flowy sleeves. Oh, and of course the color. I'm excited by the potential of this dress for more autumn wears with tights and coats and the like. Have a beautiful Thursday! xx

  1. I can't believe you got those heels thrifted, they're amazing! I never have any luck with shoes when thrifting. And I like how you styled the dress. I got it from Sugarlips too and was surprised that it was pretty hard to work with when matching things to it.

    Also, I'm moving to Seattle next year and I'm not at all excited about those rains haha.

  7. As I spend a lot of time cooking and shopping these days, the issue has become near and dear to my heart - you should see if there's any kind of co-op or discount grocery place near you...the one I have access to isn't gross...it's like thrift shopping for good, organic groceries! Sounds like you're adjusting to adult life well, though!
