Oh my assbuckets, they removed the cool cement blocks that I used to utilize as my makeshift tripod for outfit shots! Nooooo....! My backdrop is still there, but now I have nowhere to put my camera. This is tragic. I felt like I really should update my blog after a long while of neglect though, so I used my friend's car as a tripod instead. These photos are super washed-out and weird... but at least they're better than nothing.
I'm wearing: F21 skirt (from absolute ages ago), Old Navy sweater, Target tights, Payless sneakers.
So most of this outfit (okay, just the skirt and sweater, but that's all there is) is from the bags of clothes my mom brought out here from Montana where I'd had it stored for over a year. I was going to get rid of this skirt because I figured it was far too small for me anymore, but turns out it fits again! Huzzah. This is actually the kind of outfit I wore every single day for a couple years in college -- plaid pleated skirt, sneakers, and a t-shirt or sweater. It was quite the uniform, but cute and functional, and it identified me as a geek so that was nice. However I always wore these beat-up old black Chuck Taylors, which I've since thrown out. These Keds rip-offs were picked up at Payless right before PAX, so I'd have some comfy shoes to stand in all day. Plus I needed some sneakers quite badly. Never part a geek girl with her sneakers, fashionista or not. They will be needed at some point.
So the reason I've been mostly absent from the blog lately, aside from PAX, is that my new job is super exhausting. I absolutely love it, but getting used to the 8-hour work day is quite an ordeal. Luckily I'm feeling a bit less bushed tonight, so hopefully I'm starting to get used to it. I've still been tweeting a lot though, so check out my twitter if you wanna see what random thoughts pop into my head throughout the day. My posts there are locked for the moment, but if you request to read them, I'll probably letcha.
Well well. I really need to get paid so I can pay my phone bill and think about buying a tripod, but not actually do it. Fie.

You look so cute and warm! (it was freeeeeeeeezing today)
And, I'm glad my car could help out. :)
You look awesome, and your geek-chic outfit is exactly like what I wore all last winter/spring (in Canada) while working at a used bookstore!
Black sneakers FTW!
Love the outfit. These are really great colors. That skirt is really interesting.
I know what you mean by not having a place to prop your camera. For a long time I was searching for places where I could prop mine. Once I propped on a bunch of rocks and a breeze came up and it fell into a crack. Very scary experience. About that time I decided to try and find a used tripod to use.

Awesome outfit! :)
I know what you mean about the sneakers! Mine are hardly off my feat! I need to get out of that but they are so comfy :)
honestly you are so lovely to look at!
I need to add a little geek to my wardrobe... and my life! There's something about the cooler weather that makes me want to gather my friends for a Mario Kart marathon (trash talking and wrestling included). Ha!

lol you are so cute! I swear in high school I wore clothes just like that. I wore a lot of boots though, I was too rough on my shoes.
I am happy to hear that the job is going well, you will get a routine down and you will be fine. :) Goodluck saving up for the tripod. I need one too lol :)
Cute skirt! I love finding old things that miraculously still fit. Also glad to see I'm not the only one who uses makeshift tripods!
i'm glad the new job is working out & i'm sure you'll get into the swing of things soon. it usually takes me a couple of weeks to get used to new situations, but i thin i'm probably slower to adapt than most.
