Did you ever have to wear a uniform in school? I did, for a brief period in elementary school. The pieces were horribly cheap and unflattering, however. I hated them. And you know that whole thing your mom does when your're little about buying all your clothes at least one size bigger so you'll "grow into them"?? UGH. But I've always liked the look of the "cool" kind of uniforms: the private school blazers with the ties and the school crest emblems. Those always seem to be a bit more tailored, crisp, and clean. But that's just me.

The last couple of weeks have been a bit of an emotional roller coaster... I won't go into details, but I will say this: sometimes in life you have to be a bit "selfish" and figure out what's good for you. If someone (or something) in your life causes you more harm than good, then it's better to cut them/it out for the sake of your own (mental) health. And that's all I'm going to say.

If it's two things in life that always makes me feel better, it's CLOTHES, and MUSIC. I'm waiting on two super cute items I won on ebay to arrive, and since one of my favourite singer's birthdays was yesterday I decided to take a break from blogging to post a picture and a quote from him every day for the past week, (in case anyone was confused). My other favourite singer's birthday is six days away!! So now I have to do something special for him.

Man, I can't WAIT for school to be over!! Just a few more weeks to go!!!!!!

You say the war is over.. I say it's just the start.

Anyone remember the movie Clueless?? (starring Alicia Silverstone, Brittany Murphy, Stacy Dash??) Classic movie. But yeah, remember Cher's closet?? With the revolving racks of clothes, all organized by colour and and stuff?? YOU DON'T KNOW HOW BADLY I NEED THAT!!!!!!!

My real closet is literally the width of the door. That's it. No room to grow. Only to shrink. Therefore it is currently so overloaded with just about EVERYTHING that certain items eventually get lost. And I forget about them. The other day I stumbled (literally) across my very first pair of black denim skinny jeans from Tripp NYC that I found a couple years ago at Buffalo Exchange. They used to be my favourite pants... with horizontal silver zippers on the back pockets and red stitching on the waist... Gerard Way used to wear the EXACT SAME PAIR around the time I got them... I kid you not. But yeah, over time they ended up buried under a pile of crap and I completely forgot about them until a few days ago when I found them. I tried them on and they fit like a dream.

All the wasted days...

Lately I find myself wearing the same items over and over. How boring and un-adventureous am I?? I wanted to wear heels today, (these cute black shiny patent mary jane pumps I got from Target a long ass time ago), but I was so sleepy that I was afraid that I would fall over if I tried walking around in them. Tiredness definetely always plays a factor in my look. The more tired I am, the more boring I dress. And lately, I've been uber tired. UUGGGGHHHHH.

When I worked at Hot Topic, I would get random kids coming up to me (who apparantly recognized me from high school), telling me how they used to see me in the hallways all the time and think I dressed so cool. So apparantly in high school, I had a decidedly more memorable style. I don't know where it's gone since I graduated three years ago. And I don't even have to be at school by 7:30am anymore! I just don't get it!!

:(

But at times like this, I try to remember something Daniel Vosovic said on Project Runway: "Designers don't always look their best... we spend so much time making OTHERS look good, that we often forget about ourselves."

So true.
