[Outtoplay]





I bought this dress a while back

from a local thrift store for 5.99 - Insanity, I know!

I believe it may be some sort of traditional Indian dress as it came with a separate dress that goes under it. The long blush coloured that was the bottom part, I wore to a wedding a while back, and got compliments like you wouldn't believe. -Fabulous for 5.99 /2

This beaded dress I have been waiting for just the right moment to wear. So when it came to heading to LA again (the 3rd time in the last 12 months - can you tell I'm in love with the place) I decided I didn't want to be out and even remotely dressed like anyone else, so I threw on the vintage beads and they had a much deserved night out on the town.

[HopeinaJar]


And I finally opened it

-Hope in a Jar by Philosophy-

You have been sitting by my bedside for months and I have yet to touch you.

Tonight we start our affair... Let's see if we get past the apparatif...<3

Another first this evening, opened a bottle of wine all by myself, all for myself.

It was just me myself and I this evening.

(and no I did not even finish half - This girl got recession smarts over here!)

-

Tonight, I believe I have made a big leap.

I am on my way to seriously accepting that, It's okay not to be 18 anymore.

It's okay to not get dressed up everynight, spend money on cabs and chasing guys who never call - or better yet (and actually most of the time) do call, and promise a never ending list of "false hope"

(and nothing as good as my Hope in a Jar - The critics rave about it - so excited!)

that us "hopeless romantics fall for

-Time and time again-

With the hope that one day our Mr. Big will walk in,

make us our dream closet, give us a big black diamond

and say

"Kid... It had to be you."

-

While I can't remove my hopeless romantic side, nor would I ever really want too,

I can choose not to "wait"

I can choose the only thing I have any power over,

Improving me.

Now that's an empowering thought, don't you think?

[Disheartening]


This

sinking feeling

-

Upon the realization that

it's just me - no one else,

I find that an incredibly hard pill to swallow this morning -

Home- and frankly quite miserable about it

the weather is terrible

there are no decent men anywhere to be found

(however the indecent with girlfriends seem to find themselves finding me...ugh)

Today is one of those ill fated days

when at some point

you find yourself having to take a second

walk away

and hold back the tears

-

& I do tell myself, always, that it could be much, much worse

If that's what you're thinking. Believe me I know this.

Sometimes the overwhelmingness of it all just sucks me in
