The awkward smile in the second picture should be understandable when I'm taking pictures in a rooftop garage on a windy day with lots of passing traffic. Also, what's that...layers?!? I finally found a way to wear something more than a shirt and a skirt/pair of shorts in the summer heat by wearing light vests and sheer fabrics. I've been whining about the lack of polka dots in clothing three weeks back and the week after, everything at Forever 21 was covered in polka dots. I've also been wanting a red bag and this one is the perfect size. A major bonus is that the bag has three expandable major compartments inside plus places to hold cellphones/keys, allowing me to pretend that I'm an organized person. The strap is also removable so I'll be looking forward to carrying it as a clutch as well.
Anyway, hope everyone's having a decent hump day. My day just started since I just turned in the last lab report I will ever write (!!!) yesterday evening and now I've got a freer schedule with just research until my next summer course starts up.

Yay! So glad the year is winding down a bit. And I cannot imagine you not being organized. Such a weird thought.
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous!
Beautiful layers. In this heat it is impossible to wear as many layers as I like, but I do carry a cardi for all that a/c.

You're taking summer classes? That's dedication right that. I have no idea how you manage to balance a blog, school, work, research etc. :P
ReplyDeleteActually, that would probably make a pretty good post if you're ever up to it! "How to balance blogging and life" :D
