only two pics, and on my computer theyre dated from may.  i have rediscovered shorts this year and/or last fall when places were having super clearance sales.  apparently my favorite fast fashion stores [gap/h&m/bass/target] have discovered a 3-5" inseam is much more attractive than the crotch-eating shorts of yore.  thank god.

• shoes: dsw ages ago
• sweatshirt: banana republic outlet
• shorts: bass outlet
• nails: well...they say i did construction for 8 hours before cleaning up in a restaurant bathroom before going to my cousin's recital...

the first outfit says... 36 degrees?  whatever winter, were over.  the second outfit i was told "wow, your necklace matches your shirt exactly!"  well.. really what else would you expect?  the third outfit i was told by several people that i looked like a gypsy/zen priestess.  also, the skirt is just a little too long to wear through a wet sloppy dish room.  but lace dries quickly.  ...all over the tops of my feet.

its taken some time, but i'm finally getting my restaurant style down.  i spent weekends in november and december in dirty torn jeans, ratty sneaks, a carhartt coat [which i purchased with much dismay], and an assortment of gloves, hats, and angry faces.  but i digress.  since its poorly insulated and thus balls cold in the restaurant, i have taken to layering my required work tshirt with pretty much whatever i can find.  and pushing the dress code envelope a bit, but whatever.

• giant scarf: old navy
• cardigan: pac sun [about 12 years ago]
• tank top: h&m
• pants: bass outlet

what ive been up to [part 1]

wth?  ITS NOVEMBER?  ummm welp my birthday is tomorrow and id like to say ive been busy saving the world and such.  but really, ive been waiting tables and helping with solar installs.  and sleeping a ridiculous amount.  thrilling i know. 

we also do the occasional energy audit in the back woods of maine.  turns out all the equipment fits in the mini coop rather well.

i havent been doing well with the summer of no pants challenge... cos a) too lazy to take pics, and b) i discovered SHORTS THAT FIT!!  so "boyfriend" style pants look like a big ole bag o frump on me.  shorts however, are ridiculously comfortable, not too short, and at the gap outlet atleast, super cheap.

• top: macys
