Merry Late Christmas

 It's a bit late, but this was my Christmas Eve dinner outfit. My family and I went out to a delicious Lebanese restaurant and then opened gifts by the tree. I had a great Christmas and I hope you did too.

 If you notice a difference the the quality it is because it's on my film camera. I bought it for a few dollars at a thrift store, it worked instantly with a fresh battery and some film. 

I'm really getting into experimenting with the different types of photography since I'm not the best at digital photography. Film photography adds a really cool effect that no instagram filter can match. Carefully planning out each picture (because you have limited snaps) has sparked creativity in me and make me really think about each thing I take a picture of. Also, the anticipation of waiting the see how the pictures turned out is really exciting. 

Stay tuned for a NYE post which will be coming up in January.

Double Breasted = Sea Captain. Right?

"Ahoy Mateys!" Is the phrase my jacket would say right? No? Well, I didn't see a sea captain look when I bought this jacket, but today a classmate kindly pointed that out. And the clicking of my heeled boots- well obviously that says I'm a teacher to another classmate. "Get back to class!"

I don't try to dress up as a sea captain or a teacher, it just happens. I put together an outfit on the basis that I like how it looks. I don't do it to impress people or shock them. So If I'm doing it for myself, why do I always get comments?

"Excuse me, who asked for your opinion?" Always runs through my mind when a comment is said about my outfit. It's not that the person meant to be hurtful or embarrass me, but it always seems to put me on edge. I guess all the bullies in middle school taught me to always be on my guard.

Comments about my outfits are said a lot to me, not in a nice way either: "In that outfit, you look like a (insert rude noun)." Hey, I wasn't going for that look, but thanks anyways. Maybe I'm too sensitive, but when it's said daily I'm going to get a bit sassy.

Next time try to look at me without comparing me. I appreciate compliments, so take a tip from these olive Theory trousers (which compliment my hair color nicely).  I'm just a chick in a double breasted jacket with "clickety- clack" booties, that's all.
