The rhythm of the vehicle
rolled like the wheels of my nerves,
and the buttons on my cardigan
were my only friends.

I started school yesterday! I was horribly nervous and was tense and twiddling my thumbs and playing with the buttons on my cardigan for the hour long bus ride, and it didn't help that once I got to the school my locker wouldn't open. Eeep! But we got it all fixed and the rest was a breeze. {I'm actually doing just a few periods at high school, and then the rest at home school. :) } Anywho, today was much better, and hopefully tomorrow will be a good day. :)
So, my nails are a different color for the first time in about three or four months! They've been mint green since the very beginning of summer, and I finally made myself paint them a totally new shade. I kinda miss green on my fingers, and the pink I have on now reminds me of Barbie, haha. I think I'll have to find a more fall-ish shade of green sometime soon, though.
I absolutely love using men's dress-shirts for dresses. This is is one of my dad's old ones that I snatched from his closet, along with a few others that I liked. I can't wait until winter when I can layer sweaters over them. Gosh, here I am talking about winter when autumn has barely begun! Today was actually pretty warm, although the air was a bit more chilly. This outfit was perfect for enjoying the last lingering breaths of summer, while still fading into fall a bit.
I hope you all had a lovely day! ♥ Oh, and I thought I'd mention that this is my 200th post, and I also just had the delight of seeing that my little blog now has 200 followers! Yaaaaay!
