Foxtail

Hopefully the last set of gloomy photos for a while.  The bright orange foxtail has been helping add some color to the white skies here lately.  Maybe that was a good h&m impulse purchase after all?
Finished the dress, wearing it in the third photo though I realize you can't see it.. and that I'm being completely unhelpful..
Now on to dress 2!

City Trains

Some random photos from the last few days
I realized how much I miss trains in foreign cities; knowing where I'm going and not knowing where I am

Blurred spring start

Wearing Old Navy jacket, brother's old sweater, skirt made by my mom, tights, ASOS boots

Grainy photos on a warmer evening and my attempt at mixing prints.
Currently working on a jersey dress and crochet tank. I hope to post the dress soon!

Déjeuner du matin


Il a mis le cafe
Dans la tasse
Il a mis le lait
Dans la tasse de cafe
Il a mis le sucre
Dans le cafe au lait
Avec la petite cuiller
Il a tourne
Il a bu le cafe au lait
Et il a repose la tasse
Sans me parler
Il a allume
Une cigarette
Il a fait des ronds
Avec la fume
Il a mis les cendres
Dans le cendrier
Sans me parler
Sans me regarder
Il s'est leve
Il a mis
Son chapeau sur sa tete
Il a mis
Son manteau de pluie
Parce qu'il pleuvait
Et il est parti
Sous la pluie
Sans une parole
Et moi j'ai pris
Ma tete dans ma main
Et j'ai pleure.

~Jacques Prevert

And don't fall into any temptations while I am away.

I went to a high school theater competition on Saturday.  It reminded me of how long it's been since I've last been to a play, I need to remedy this.

Photos from Saturday night in Lowell. Wearing thrifted jacket, Arden B t-shirt, Basic Editions button-down and self-made skirt. 
I will post more pictures at some point to do the skirt justice. I made it a few summers ago out of jersey fabric. It's high-waisted, has a (functional) zipper across the front, and belt-loops.
Started reading Donald Barthelme's Sixty Stories. So far I'm very impressed with what he is able to capture.

I don't recognize you - I've changed a lot.

For some reason I have a new found appreciation for waist belts, slowly turning into obsession..

Wearing thrifted cardigan, piko1988 tank, Old Navy cami,
True Religion jeans, old belt

Oh and mustard yellow.

A thing is, according to the mode in which one looks at it.

The apartment.  Wearing jacket from ebay, H&M t-shirt and leggings, thrifted Abercrombie & Fitch skirt, ASOS boots and gloves crocheted by a friend

Waiting for the bus at South Station in Boston.

Times square

New York City.  I love how in nyc I see more in one weekend than I normally would in months.  Highlights of the trip (besides family and friends) included getting a cop to open a trash barrel, conversation and not so quality chicken late at night and an amazing flea market on the upper west side.

Creepy exhibit at the MET of a white room.  It was a sterilized pristine white room with quaint Victorian looking furniture and mirrors.  Perfect nightmare conditions.
