stop making sense

Is it just me, or is this season of project runway kinda ...lame? I don't really love any of the contestants and I haven't seen any awesome outfits. But then again, the challenges have been kinda weird. The Olympic one tonight was bizarre. I like normal challenges where they make pretty clothes.

I dyed tights tonight! I got 2 pairs of off white tights and black dye. The first pair, I tried to do the gradient I had planned to. I don't think its going to turn out really well. I think I dipped the tights too deep into the dye, so they may end up looking all black. The directions said to let them hang for an hour or two, then take them down and rinse them out. I didn't like the way they looked after two hours so I am going to leave them hanging overnight. I'm not sure if this will effect the tights or the dye. We'll see tomorrow, I guess. On the second pair of tights I just crumpled them up and stuck them into the dye. I left them in a little crumpled ball for about two hours, then I rinsed them out. They're hanging dry. I hope they will look kind of tie dyed on.

It's getting late. I'm going to bed. I just wanted to express my hatred for that commercial with the two girls in the dorm room. They 'dance off' while decorating their gigantic dorm room. I'm not sure what annoys me about the commercial the most - I like the song, the decorations they're using are alright. Maybe it's because my freshman dorm room wasn't much bigger then my closet at home and the fact they are portraying dorm room as giant white well lit rooms is a giant lie. Stop lying commercials. Stop giving freshman false dorm room hope.

Peace and bedtime,

Don't you love it when you walk out of a building (in, say, a purple shirt with a grey waistband and a grey 3/4 sleeved cardigan) and you actually get warmer! It's warmer OUTSIDE then it is inside. It's really a lovely feeling.

Dear boy at the gym who works out in tight under armor,

You're not training for an ironman. Please wear looser clothing.

Thanks,

People who tell you that tanning does not clear your skin are just pale liars who want you to have acne forever.

Dear man on the motorcycle in front of me on my way home from the gym,

You were going 30 miles per hour in a 40 zone AND slowing down around the turns. What kind of nerdy motorcycle man are you? Don't people buy motorcycles to go fast (or, at least the speed limit?) I was more amused by how slow you were going then mad about it though, so don't worry.

Take care of yourself,

Shopbop is having a sale until midnight tonight and I have yet to find anything to buy. Tragic. I went back to look for that Elizabeth and James sweater I mentioned earlier but it was sold out. YOU'RE WELCOME shopbop. Imagine the leftover inventory you would have if I had never mentioned it in my world famous blog?

I am resisting the temptation of the 'gladiator' sandal basically because MKO wore them last summer and she's probably moved onto something new and fabulous by now, so I'll just wait around until someone takes a picture of her feet. And I'll buy whatever is on them.

OK so shopbop has a 'jumpsuits' category, right in between 'jumpers' and 'leggins'. I'm not sure how I feel about that, I'm pretty sure that I do not support jumpsuits.

-----------------------------------------------

So just in case the Lucky suit does not work out, I got one from Victoria's Secret too. I FINALLY found a bra top bathing suit so I am excited to get it and see how it looks. I got this top:

and plain brown bottoms.

Did jean skirts go out of style and no one told me? I've been looking for a good jean skirt for the summer and so far this is all I've found:

It's the sunset miniskirt by Seven. Although it is adorable and I do love the bright fun pockets, it's pretty impractical as a go to summer jean skirt. Plus I'm not a huge fan of the frayed edges.

And finally, 37 days until the shore house. Woooooooo.
