Friday, May.

The thing I like about this outfit is the black dress. It is really a sort of, I don't know what you'd call it, it's like an over coat but it's a light material, and you can wear it in a million different ways. I like it because I got it in one of those Indian-imports stores that smell like incense and have jewellry, golden Buddha statues, carved wooden mirrors, etc., in some obscure town with a good second hand bookstore, when I was 11 or 12. I have worn it consistently for about 4 years and I still find new ways to wear it and it's still in perfect condition. I wore four variations on this outfit this week, it made dressing very easy in the morning, and I felt like I went to private school every day. Especially when I added a neck tie.

do you WANT to go to a private school or simply want to have your fashion dictated to you?
Sorry. I like the lighting, and what kind of belt is that? One only you can pull off, obviously. I'm curious. I like India Imports stores, in fact, they didn't have any pure henna powder to your recollection, did they?

oh posh. i just enjoy taking on foreign personalities every now and then--or their fashion at least. it's a cool stretchy belt, it is rather strange.
they probably had henna.. but "pure henna powder"? not sure.
