winter rain

So, remember not all that long ago when I was crying my little eyes out over not having any snow? Yeah? Okay, well, it can go now. Just a few days ago, I was walking down the street, thinking to myself how lovely it was to have the sidewalks clean of ice and snow, and only a few snow banks here and there. And now, snow everywhere. It's been snowing for a few days now and doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. Rats!   But, since I had a couple hours free today, I decided to go outside for some photos. This is actually the outfit that I wore for Easter (when it was warm and sunny out), but I liked it well enough to make a point of blogging it. It's been eons since a good old outfit post, hasn't it been?   I didn't know what to wear for Easter because I have worn every dress and skirt I own to church at least three or four times each. Admittedly, I wore this skirt for Easter a couple of years ago but oh well - who would even remember that? It's not like God smote me upon entering church in an already-Easter-worn skirt. I bought this a few years ago at Go Vintage as a sale piece, intending to hem it. Then I got lazy and decided that a midi skirt wasn't so bad after all. Even though I am only 5 foot tall.   Since I'm not much for pretty flowers and shit, I decided to wear this tee shirt courtesy of GUESS. I thought the grunge-y skull would juxtapose nicely, plus the shirt is super soft and silky, so it hangs beautifully. When my boyfriend and I walked in, my mum looked at him and said, "Oh my! Don't you look nice!" and then she looked at me and didn't say anything. When I provoked her into commenting, all she could say was, "Well you're going to church wearing a skull on your tee shirt." I don't think God is afraid of a few skulls and bones, mum, but whatever. I didn't change.   Why have skulls gotten such bad rap anyways? We're all made of bones and we're all gonna die and be nothing but bones. It's nature. Wearing a shirt with a skull on it is barely different than wearing a shirt with a tree on it. Plus, the skull on my tee shirt is composed of little flowers and leaves, so it is especially beautiful. I think it says something nice about the circle of life. (I doubt that GUESS expected little girls to be reading so much into their shirts.)   And here's a nice shot of me testing the focus, holding my camera bag moodily.   I'm sorry about the recent delay in blogging. School has been non stop hectic, but I think I'm finally catching a bit of a break. I have most of my senior paper written, and I chose the topic of my other major term paper. Everything is starting to slow down and I've actually been able to stop and breathe for a bit. I called out of work today because I wasn't quite feeling myself. Time to snuggle down and watch Cary Grant movies!   Thanks to all who've stuck with me the past few months. I appreciate the kind words which I have received...2013 has been rough on me so far, especially with losing Moses, and it's been tough to keep moving, much less write a blog. I think that summer (and studying in Paris for a month) will rejuvenate me some, and I'll be back to blogging consistently. But for now, I just wanted to say thank you - to everyone.   Also, stop by the blog's Facebook page to see an outtake from today's shoot. xx
