the summer dress

gojane dress/sunglasses, dolce vita shoes via ideeli (you can get them HERE though), garage sale necklace, vintage belt

An abbreviated post from my new apartment! The long and painful move along with an essay on the Cold War worth 30% of my grade due this past Friday are my excuses for the long absence away from blogging. At least it means I'm about 7 credit hours from graduating! I love this new blue dress although the seams are already starting to unravel (grr) so I'll be pulling my sewing machine out (I wish I had a serger). To me it's the quintessential summer dress so I got it in both this blue color and in orange. I also replenished my supply of cheap cateye sunnies (I seem to leave them everywhere and mysterious scratches often appear) since these were $3-something a pop.
Tim and I are currently catching up on sleep and painting the abandoned furniture pieces we found by the roadside to furnish the new place(40,000 UT students all moving out on one weekend = lots of abandoned 8-ft solid wood bookshelves, desks, etc...so wasteful). I guess I'll be the first one to admit that we've got no shame in digging around the dumpster for the sake of saving the environment and the pocketbook in one stroke. Anyway, we found some amazing oak and maple vintage pieces that if we were to hold a garage sale right now we would easily make $700-1000. The things people left were astonishing...we actually found one dude carrying out to the dumpster a brand new desk that he didn't need instead of donating it or listing it on craigslist. Wasteful, wasteful, wasteful...
I should unpack and rediscover all my clothes and whatnot by this weekend so expect more posts to come....
