bloom

i'm currently sitting in pincurls, listening to the "90s alternative" station on pandora, sippin' on diet coke. today is my day off, and i got a slower start than what i wanted to, but i already went on a 5 mile walk, and watched one too many episodes of toddlers and tiaras (i cannot explain my fascination with that show, but thanks netflix).  my plans for the rest of the day will hopefully involve some hand sewing and cleaning. i've been sorting my piles into new piles and it's time to make things less pile-y. 

also, how great is the latest beach house album?

i got this dress on sale, and with a gift card i won with a lame joke (or two), and then with a coupon code from emerging thoughts.  it's a dear creatures dress, and it's not entirely 'perfect'. but i just like the plaid and the color combination. i switched out the rope belt it came with it for a black ribbon one. and right after i took these photos, it cooled down immensely and i threw on a cardigan and knee socks, then i loved it. i can't wait to wear it with tights and more sweaters. this summer is only  making me miss fall. and my shoes! 'sunday school shoes' (moonrise kingdom reference). i've been wanting some for a while, and until i can commit to buying some nice bass ones, these payless numbers will have to do.
