These Days I Like to Think a Lot


blazer: via thrift
blouse: 1960's vintage via Etsy
shorts: via Forever 21
tights: HUE
clog heels: Steve Madden

Three weeks away from being done school! Lately I eat, sleep, drink, and obsess over academic reading/writing. (I have actually taken to drinking four cups of coffee a day - so bad! I have promised myself I will be back to green tea after April 1st.) 

My novel writing workshop is going well and I hand in my final submission tomorrow. Over the course of the semester, I have written close to 70 pages of a novel project... probably about a third of the actual writing needed to finish the narrative.

As I've been spending SO MUCH TIME in front of my computer and at a desk lately, I've taken to donning slouchy menswear. Comfortable to sit in with my legs in a variety of positions without being unladylike and showing everyone my underwear. I'm normally disappointed with the quality of garments from Forever 21. When I order online, a lot of things don't end up fitting and the fabric quality/drape is not matched to the listing photos. However, I do love their shorts. Thus far, I have been happy with quality and fit, and these shorts are a welcome staple in my wardrobe.

That said, it's back to finishing up tomorrow's submission! I hope everyone is doing well! Can't wait to (procrastinate) and check up on all your blogs!

Lovely outfit. It has inspired me to get into shorts this winter. It's autumn in Australia - :(

School is stressing me out too, I feel your pain!! We're almost there!
I absolutely LOVE these shorts, they fit you so well, and look more vintage! That blouse is really lovely too. F21 can be so hit or miss, I have things from there I've owned for 3 years but others that break/rip in a week
