Thursday, November 3

it's a small world after all

I am back. It's been a rough start to the week -- Boyfriend got incredibly sick with a stomach virus, so I've been force-feeding him Gatorade and Pedialyte for the past two days while also working from home and generally going a little nuts from lack of sleep. It's been bananas, you guys. So bananas that I didn't even get a chance to show you all my Halloween costume until NOVEMBER 3RD. WHAT.

vest, bp
pants, f21

suspenders, urban outfitters

I was planning on getting dressed up as Jack Kelly from Newsies, but when I put that all together, it didn't really say "JACK KELLY" as much as it did "RANDOM COYBOY HAT OUTFIT." So I went as a generic newsie instead. I had a newspaper prop (not pictured) to make it more obvious, though.

The funny thing is, if I just added some argyle socks and swapped the dress vest for a sweater vest, I could have also passed as a golfer. Versatility!

Also, remember that Bell skirt I was trying to sell? Well, I sold it. And then the buyer and I found out that we live in the exact same apartment complex. CRAZY. Hi, Maureen! -waves-

It reminds me of the time when I studied abroad in Australia and found out that my roommate there was the big sister of my little sister's best friend. And that we lived in the same neighborhood back home, too. Yeah, I didn't even know she went to my university until then. Hi, Atoosa!

Life. It's nutty.
