"What are you, in mourning?"
"Always."
It's spring, I'm wearing black. People always comment on wardrobe, it seems to be primarily shades, well, if we're being honest, black. I don't really enjoy bright, vibrant colours - save red - muted palettes seem to suit my style a little more. Anyways, I look I've been raised from the dead to most, being almost translucent and half-awake for basically my entire life. This sweater has a hole in the shoulder, I looked down the other day, and, upon seeing my skin, thought, I'm not wearing a white shirt. I am really that pale.
I am still reading Rebecca, I haven't had much time to read because of exams. The cover is gone, of course, and I was afraid of ripping the first page off when I began reading it, but I added more tape to the edges, so it should be fine now. Instead of reading about the happenings of Manderly last night, I watched the first season of Sex and the City at two in the morning - how cliche, I know. Whenever I watch old episode SATC I think about how far the movies are from where the show started - being about independent women trying to get by in New York City - whereas the movie seemed like some cheesy wedding magazine with a plot line.
I do not appreciate cheesy wedding magazines - I'll stick with thirty year olds exploring their sexuality.

I went to a cocktail party on Friday night, we made cesars and grapefruit, cranberry, sprite and peach schnapps drinks - which were amazing. It was so funny to see everyone dressed up in suits and dresses (I wasn't so dressed up), we all looked so fantastic in sweater vests and red lipstick. It was tres Mad Men. The last few pictures on my disposable camera were used up on random party photos, I hope they turn out alright, but we'll have to see. I love film, but I hate not knowing how the photo's will turn out. 
I want to emulate these outfits this month. As usual, anything high waisted is almost automatically admitted to my closet, but these are three outfits that need a spot - it's non-negotiable. Twiggy is just adorable, and the shape of that dress is timeless, the pattern might be a tad 1970's, but in a solid color or a floral with a pair of chunky heels it would be completely modern. The second look is adorable, and completely sailor-inspired. I love the simplicity of this, it seems like the kind of dress you can throw on for errands or a walk. Now, the third is certainly the most 'now' outfit. It's contemporary, it's cute, and it's minimal; everything that I love. And the pastel tones just drive me mad! They strike a perfect balance between a feminine pallet and the minimalistic skirt/shirt combination.
