Seen it all before

I seem to just keep re-wearing the same pieces over and over lately, mix and matched. Even though I have tons of other stuff to be wearing. Oh well. Today had the misfortune of being another one of those days for me, so if my smiles seem a bit stressed, that would be why.

Blouse - Thrifted from the Salvation Army

Skirt - Thrifted from the Salvation Army

A chicken dish I cooked came out partly raw, and as someone who prides herself on cooking and baking, it was rather upsetting to say the least. It likely wouldn't have bothered me overmuch, but after absolutely ruining a batch of brownies (upon tasting them, I learned they were NOT edible) I was starting to doubt my kitchen skills!

Blouse details... and no, the shirt is not pink, the flash just made it so.

I'd been frustrated with a certain few locks of hair - what used to be bangs - which have recently decided to keep flopping to the wrong side. So I braided the little buggers and now I can tuck them aside, no muss, no fuss!

I also recently made another hemp necklace. And once again somehow turned it into a choker. I swear I cut more than enough hemp string, and set aside more than enough beads and count all the right amount of knots and still... I'll just have to keep at it! Thankfully, I like wearing chokers so it's not the end of the world.

My made-by-me hemp necklace.

Anyhow, I haven't had anything to eat since noon, what with the whole raw-chicken fiasco, so I'm going to go scrounge up some viddles and curl up with a book. I've been reading Julie and Julia by Julie Powell. I've yet to see the film of the same name, but I plan on watching it once I'm done the book.



And so I leave you with the book cover and my cat's behind. Just because. Cheers!
