ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Sorry for never, ever updating regularly. I always manage to forget my password whenever I want to sign in... I've been so caught up in applying to college lately (applying to art school is SUCH a pain) that pretty much nothing else matters. Gosh, my life is so boring right now.
Anyways.
Wore this outfit to school one day with a gray aa 3/4 length tshirt underneath (you can't see it). I really like these pants even if no one at school understands them. Happens to me pretty much all the time...
Enjoy!

Just some pictures that never really found their way up here. More to come soon.

sorry to have been away for so long (although I don't feel like anyone is really reading this yet, probably because I've been terrible about posting regularly). I got back from summer camp and I've been feeling kind of sentimental, so here's probably one of the cutest love songs I have ever heard. And some inspiring pictures - everything from feathers and crochet and tousled beach hair to an off-white, shaggy jacket lighting up a dark city night.

Finding the perfect navy blue blazer in your brother's closet is like the sun shining through the clouds on a rainy day. (....haha what a lame metaphor.)
Or like finding ten dollars in your pocket. Or something.
