Catastrophe

It's really only been a few days since I've posted, but it feels like it's been ages. I've been behind on outfit posts, I've barely responded to comments, and I've hardly even had time to read my favorite blogs. Now that all of the people in my life who were visiting are gone, the wedding I was in has passed, and my birthday (I turned 20 yesterday!) is over, I can go back to relaxing. It was sad to say good-bye to two of my best friends and my brother, and especially hard to have my boyfriend leave after such a short trip, but it'll be nice to catch up on blogging and sleep.

I found this dress for a steal at $14 at the Orange County swap meet this summer and couldn't help but laugh when I noticed the exact same one in Spotted Moth for probably around $40 (it doesn't seem to be on the website). I suppose I can't feel too proud though, considering I still walked out with a purchase. I've only worn this dress twice since I got it; I wore it once to see Les Miserables at the Orange County Performing Arts Center and to the rehearsal dinner for my friend's wedding. 

The title of this actually comes from a series of conversations between me and my friends at the wedding. One of them commented on how these sunglasses are way too big for my face and I responded that I didn't care because I lost my Ray-Bans (I'm still grieving) and have really been wanting cat-eyes for awhile. What followed was an evening of our table making cat puns, most of which were shouted at random moments whenever they were thought up. I wear what I do purely to give my friends entertainment. 

If anyone hasn't noticed yet, I buy a disturbing amount of my accessories off of Ebay for extremely cheap from China and Japan. They're not all the best quality, but when you're paying $9 for a pair of shoes, you can't exactly complain. 

Another quality about me that my readers have probably noticed is my ability to ramble like no other. I find it impossible to write in small entries and tend to over-write everything. Yearbook signings in high school were brutal for me.
