this is me sitting on the roof on a chilly june evening and wishing i was warm and surrounded by people

gladiators- target, tucked-in jeans- express, bracelet- found rope, confetti shirt-h&m mens

the first movie i've watched with my new netflix account was "surfwise". its a documentary about a domineering, determined father who packed up his family of nine kids in a trailer and lived like, on pennies, with a strict diet and a passion for surfing.his ideas and methods were quite polarizing- some things i admired and others appalled me. what was most interesting was watching how the different children fared once they broke off into "real life", and how that family fragmented under the weight of various circumstances. i'd recommend this film, for sure.

wishing well; airborne toxic event

Standing on a bus stop
Feeling your head pop
Out in the night
On the kind of night
Where you want to be out
On the street, on the street
Crawling up the walls
Like a cat in heat

And the air is thin
And it blows through your skin
And you feel like something
Is about to begin
But you don't know what
And you don't know when
So you tear at your hair
And you scratch at your skin

You wanna run away, run away
Just get on the fucking train and leave today
And it doesn't matter where you spend the night
You just might end up somewhere in a fight, in a fight
Or caught in your room on a concrete shelf
Fighting all alone, with yourself, with yourself
And you just wanna feel like a coin that's been tossed
In a wishing well, a wishing well
A wishing well, a wishing well
Well, you're tossed in the air
And you fell and you fell
Through the dark blue waters
Where you cast your spell
Like you were just a wish that could turn out well

mens tee that i diy'd. shredded a back panel, heightened the sleeves, and widened the neck.
pretty standard.

drove 12 hours by myself to make it back to michigan."home", for now. been settling in, unpacking.
i feel like im waiting
for my life to begin.
this summer will be slow, lazy and sweet. just what ive been needing.

im focused on fashion to divert my attention from other things i'd rather not mention

massive thrift store haul today. i'm exhausted. next on project list is a slightly shrunken denim vest. i found a perfect black jeans jacket to convert, pictures soon!

wearing this summer: basic tanks, sheer tees/tanks and bandeau bras, swingy crop striped tees

contemplating: diy fringe shoulders?! this would be amazing

for my semester in Africa this fall, my parameters are knee-length/longer skirts, wide-strap tanks or tees, sturdy sandals. i've been shopping for a streamlined pillar silhouette, as seen on mk here-- many lightweight dark-colored floor-length skirts, paired with simple tanks of summer. plus sunglasses and a killer bag.

how long can i last like this

currently inspired by:
wide necklines
loose draping
diy everything
neutrals, pops of color
90s liberty prints
sheer tee/ black bandeau trend

thank jebus for h&m, where i spent most of my last paycheck

and also, being in virginia is a mixed bag of mostly hellish content. but in the words of one of my best friends, i should have known better

i've got...

a sister. and a brother,too. being away is hard, but being back may be harder. a harrowing situation here either way.
