Black over knee socks, tights and navy hat, Asos.com. Black denim shorts and grey blazer, Forever 21. The Smiths "The Queen is Dead" t-shirt, I've had it forever and don't remember where I got it. White patent boots, Dr Martens. The wonderful strawberry red satchel, The Leather Satchel Co.
(Photos by me.)
Hey, look! Even depressed people wear clothes! (At least some of us do. And at least some of the time.)
I've taken photos quite a few times this past week, but when going through them in the computer, I've felt like they photo are too dark (eh, literally - lighting-wise - not figuratively speaking), or that my outfits aren't original enough, or that I look too tired. (Yep, even those disgusting I'm not tall/skinny/pretty/young/long-legged enough thoughts have been poking me in the eye with their long, venomous fingernails.)
But you know what? Telling you the truth about what my life is like right now made all the difference. When I saw these photos again tonight - taken when I came home from school late one night this week - I couldn't help laughing at all of those pathetic I'm not good enough thoughts. Since when is style blogging about perfection, anyway?
I bought this The Smiths t-shirt when I was 15 and madly in love with Morrissey, and wow, it's been through a lot these past thirteen years. I'm amazed it's still in one piece!
When I started searching for old photos of myself wearing it a long time ago, I immediately got lost along memory lane - when I snapped out of it half an hour later, I decided I'll have to reminisce some other time. I have a feeling I might need a whole day to let my mind wander the way it tells me it needs to. At the moment, Ronnie is waiting for me to watch The Town with him, and that might be just a tad bit more important than finding photos where I'm wearing an old t-shirt.
But oh wow, I have soooo many old pics to show you later this week!
A few sneak peaks...
