I took a trip to New York City with my boyfriend and his mom over the weekend.

In like a lion

Do you want to know how pathetic I am? I can't remember the last time I did non-undergarment laundry. So I've just been wearing bits and pieces that are left in my closet. It makes for pretty predictable and repetitive outfits, which makes me feel unlike myself.
Today I actually felt like myself, even though I wasn't wearing anything extravagant.
I've grown to be alot more subtle in dressing, which kind of bothers me. I have a problem with feeling like I am trying to get attention when I wear tall shoes or fancy things, and I absolutely hate feeling like I look like I'm trying to get attention. I hate when everyone in classrooms looks up at me as I walk down the halls at BRCC because I'm wearing shoes that are loud. I hate when I'm late to class and everyone looks up at me as I walk in all dressed up, as if I made such an entrance just to get those eyes on me.
Usually people are very nice to me when I am dressed up, but those occasional glares or nasty attitudes (as if I am trying compete or something!) leave me with a resentment for wearing flashy or otherwise gaudy things.
I wish I could just shake that burden off! I hate letting things keep me from wearing what I want!
Maybe if I do some laundry, I might be re-inspired to wear nice things that I own which have been in piles at the washer forever...
We'll see. =)

I got this coat from a vintage store in Staunton that very sadly went out of business. I was with my best friend downtown when I was 14 and had forgotten a coat for the freezing weather, so I popped in there and found this cute one for $9. Score. It's been a favorite for 5 years since.
