It’s funny how when you reread things a few years later they have a whole different meaning to you. Stargirl, by Jerry Spinelli. Read it.

So I’ve spent the last few days or so working on my room. Hopefully I’ll get to paint and stuff, but my mom is like dead set on keeping my safari-ish theme. Whatever, mom. But my closet! Oh, my closet. With the help of Closetmaid I’ve got room for everything. I’m really quite pleased. Although I had intended to paint the inside of my closet hot pink, and it didn’t go down so well with my mother. She’s big on keeping the walls this disgusting yellow. We’ll see, mom.  But anyways. It’s beautiful. And I’ve gone through everything and I’m donating all the old stuff/bad stuff to charity, to clear up some space too.

Anddddd! I found a pencil skirt at Goodwill and shortened it a bit, and it’s really quite lovely and I’m happy. I’m fully wearing it to work today.

Oh, and I bought a nice dress from Aritzia, it’s cute. It’s gray and sort of flowy-ish, I kind of love it a lot.

I got these amazing, never been worn French Connection shorts at a second hand store on Friday. They’re yellow and they have this pretty tie. They look sort of like something out of The Notebook. And Erin got herself a dress that looks like it came from Aly’s closet. Bri got this really adorable purple Talula dress.

My point is second hand and thrift shopping are great. The things you find! Like this one time at Goodwill at the end of grade 8 I found this Esprit dress for about $7. And then, using my excellent *cough* sewing ability, I made it a bit more modern. Erin looks so pretty in it.
