eeelectric blue

necessary clothing shoes (SOHO!), lulu's pants, vintage blouse, H&M scarf, modcloth bag, thrifted belt
(also seen: a huge piece of red velvet cheesecake, aka Tim's dinner Friday night as he had 2 slices of this baby instead of real food)

Both the shoes and the scarf were bought during the NYC trip...the scarf was actually bought during Fashion's Night Out. Julia observed that I hate lines because every time I saw something cute at a store during FNO, I would either ditch it due to the super long lines to the dressing rooms and the cashier or give Julia money to purchase it for me if she happened to be in the line anyway to buy for herself....yeah I'm lazy. I did manage to purchase these shoes the first day I was in new york as I walked along Broadway, waiting for me to become useful behind the stage at a fashion show. Colbalt blue is one of the few bright colors I wear. The bag is a recent addition and maybe it'll be an incentive to reduce the amount of shit I carry around.
List of things that are hilarious surreal about a group of fashion bloggers meeting for the first time after stalking each other on their blogs are:
1. When you meet your favorite bloggers, you might know every. single. piece. of clothing from their wardrobe, their favorite food, their favorite color, their boyfriend/ex's name(s), their pet peeves...but you might not remember how to pronounce their name...you might even only know them by their blog/chictopia/etc. name. I was called "turquoisepassion" the entire time at the Chictopia conference by people coming up to introduce themselves.
2. People always have preconceptions of your height. In my case, people were surprised that I was tall (5'9'').
3. People have preconceptions of your personality...surmised from your blog personality. I had to remember that no one knows I'm an awkward chemical engineering geek and play cool confident. Also, I had to keep my "that's what she said" quirps to myself...for now. Remember, I hang out with all guys due to my major!
Anyway, I'm going to grade some papers now...ugh I feel like such a loser for freaking grading papers on a Saturday night. It's alright because I'll be at a concert tomorrow though. Oh and PS: I'm thinking about upgrading to a DSLR camera after groping everyone else's way-more-awesome cameras during fashion week. Luckily, my measly paycheck for being an engineering course grader is coming in next week so I might get my dream camera! Here's to hoping...
Finally, Marilyn Manson's "Beautiful People" was fittingly ironically stuck in my head all fashion week...so I'm going to share it here. (note: certain scenes might be disturbing to some)
