I wore this outfit in order to feel like I'd gotten dressed, after a particularly annoying day of thesis-writing. I know I wear this shirt too much on the blog... but I wear it even more in real life!
Anyway, this is auto-posting, I'm out of town and away from the internet for a few days. I wanted to apologize for being the world's worst blog-friend recently, for not replying to comments or emails, and generally being one of those bloggers. I'm up to my neck in thesis--the deadline's coming up really soon--and quite stressed and unhappy about some other things, and really happy about some others, like hanging out with my family again. That first picture is not at all representative of life at the moment I'm afraid... I really will try to be better soon. An enormous thank you to those of you still out there!

LOVE your hair! You should make a tutorial :)
ReplyDeleteThat shirt is quite perfect so I could see why you would be wanting to wear is a lot...as I tend to obsess over the things I love - I'm always doing the same thing with my favorite pieces. Super cute photos...loving that first pic especially. Best wishes on your thesis...sounds grueling, but I'm sure very rewarding once finished.
ReplyDeleteAh but when you love somehting and it looks cute you can totally wear it all the time! Good luck with the work :)
ReplyDeletewell, you look gorgeous in these photos.
ReplyDeletei am really in love with this outfit. i think it is your shirt that i love SO much! (also you hair! :P)
good luck with all the deadlines..i can not even imagine all the stress that is weighing on you.
have a wonderful week love.
I agree with everyone in saying that your hair is beeeee-utiful! :) Tutorial maybe? :)
ReplyDeleteKeep your chin up, lovely! And good luck with all the deadlines. Everything will be fiiine, even if it's awfully stressful now. :)

If I had that shirt, I would wear it all the time too! It's so cute. And I love the shorts with those shoes. This is one of my favorite outfits that I've seen lately...just a really great casual summer look.
ReplyDeleteAh... I think we've all been there. I was not in the best of forms towards the end of my teaching practice when I also had massive assignments to do.
ReplyDeleteI just tried to remember that I can't do everything at once and, at the end of the day, our education is always a top priority.
I am SUCH a teacher sometimes... :P
Anyway, I really like the shirt on you so feel free to continue wearing it! There will be no complaints here =]

We're still here and I think you'll find us a very understanding group. :-) Knock that thesis out of the park so you can come play in blogland again. In the meantime (if you have a few moments), you can see what I''ve been playing with in my closet: http://carriesbusynothings.blogspot.com/2011/08/dressing-outside-my-box.html
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I LOVE your hair in these photos! How???
best of luck with the thesis. When you finish that baby up you should do a tutorial on how you got your hair to look so awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou my dear are a good blog friend. And that shirt is perfect. You could wear it every day I would never get bored (well... almost!).

So rad. I love these relaxed photos of you, Good luck with your thesis. What exactly are you doing it on? (sorry if you already went over this haha)
ReplyDeleteI love that shirt. I love those shorts. Your hair is adorable. Can I be you, please?
ReplyDeleteI love the 1960s flair to both your hair & outfit-- I also dig the way you tied up your blouse, I've been meaning to style a shirt in a similar way.
ReplyDeleteHopefully you're relaxing now after all your thesis writing, I remember being crazed back in graduate school!
I can only imagine how difficult must be to right your thesis, and to think that'd be me next year, think I'll need cute shorts and pretty brogues like yours, love easy and comfy look!

OMG! I love everything on this post. Perfect! Such a great look. More power!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from the Philippines.
we love you...so thesis away!! :) Your hair is so damn cute here. I like how you are a little 60s chica in these pics!
ReplyDeleteI love that you keep wearing this shirt because it's a great shirt and should be worn often since it makes you so happy. Good luck with your thesis and enjoy your family time lady!
ReplyDeleteThesis writing can be the most frustrating experience! But I am sure that the writing will come together quite nicely, even if there is some screaming and yelling along the way. I hope you enjoyed your time with your family. And you are looking ever so lovely as always! xx
ReplyDeleteGreat casual outfit :) I love this shirt, looks so versatile!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your thesis writing...deadlines are so stressful -_- right now I'm studying for some exams I'll have in september (and then I'm going to write my thesis) so I can understand what you're feeling.

I know the feeling of being all stressed out over deadlines. It will be better when it is over and you can relax again. Wish you luck anyway!
ReplyDeleteThat shirt btw, is one of the few shirts I have seen that works all the time. Like it was made for you. :)
Good luck thesis writing. Can't imagine how stressful that can be, it'll all work out though. You look very 1940s casual in this outfit, looks great and carefree.
ReplyDeleteyou look lovely! and i know that feeling -- good luck to you :) xo

ReplyDeleteWell you certainly have a good excuse to MIA for a bit! Good luck on finishing your thesis, it sounds so interesting. I'd love to read it if you'll be publishing it anywhere (online maybe?) & even offer to give it a quick typo read over for you if you'd like (yep, can't say proofread, you got me on the "much ado" thing!).
ReplyDeleteLove your first picture, so cute! This shirt is great, I def don't think you wear it too much, but you know how I am w/ wearing my fav shirts on my blog... Love your hair too!
You look too cute! With your Bardot hair (nearly) you look very retro with the plaid and all!
ReplyDeleteI will also say good luck with your thesis!! All of us wishing will help you out i'm sure!! :p
oh gosh, you dont have to apologize at all! and look at you being all sassy in that first photo. Happy thesis writing!!
ReplyDeletei would wear this shirt all the time too! it's perfect on you :) also, if you need someone to copy edit your thesis, i'm game. :) i'm an editor on a lit mag, workin on my mfa in creative writing, and i've looked over theses and dissertations alike :)
ReplyDeleteSo lovely!
ReplyDeletenice shoes:)
xoxo
I think even if everything else was perfect in life- the existence of a thesis writing can drive you crazy on its own!Seeing your family though can be an antidote :)
ReplyDeleteps)I like this shirt- never tired of seeing it here ;)
Just keep telling yourself: "this too shall pass, this too shall pass"
ReplyDeleteThose sunglasses. That shirt. Those shorts. Those shoes. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteI do hope your thesis hasn't frazzled your brain too much!
The colours in that shirt are so great - I am not surprised it's a favourite of yours :)
ReplyDeleteI've been one of those bloggers as well over the past couple of weeks, all the best for your thesis finale!
