Winter Tea

I finally finished I Capture the Castle on Thursday, so I watched the movie last night. It was relatively loyal to the book with some minor changes, but my main problem with the movie was in its tone. While reading the book (which is told from the point of view of the protagonist, Cassandra), I got a humorous, quirky vibe due to the youth and honesty with which she writes in her journal. For some reason the movie seemed almost too grim. Maybe I misinterpreted the book, though; I'm known to do that. I'm curious, though -- if you've read the book, did you then watch the movie? What did you think, was the tone just right, or too serious?

Anyway, moving on to FASHUN. I really liked the 1930s clothes they wore in the movie, thin old dresses with cardigans and wool hats. It was all very impoverished, but in a cozy, charming way. And I decided that's how I want to dress this fall/winter, albeit less impoverished and more cozy. So I made a polyvore set. Behold.

Do want! I now have little slip dresses and thick cable-knit sweaters at the top of my Must Buy For Fall list. I've yet to even begin doing my fall shopping, and some people are already done. What even, you guys!

I'd also like to make a public service announcement: if you have any pressing questions to ask me for the upcoming Q&A post (lol bold), please ask them here or at my Formspring! Last chance! I'll most likely do an answer post tomorrow or thereabouts. Ever wanted to know how much I can bench press (don't bother asking, I don't know the answer)? Curious whether or not I floss regularly? Want to know my favorite historical figure or fictional character? Now's the time! Ask away. I invite any and all awkward personal questions as well. Unless they involve ranch dressing (don't ask, really).

p.s. Pad Thai Kitchen on Belmont serves huge portions when you get take-out! As in, I will never finish eating this pad thai!
