THREADS & THINKING

     I went to the Farmer's Market this morning with my mom and got tons of fruits and veggies (my favorite), and even brought home some lumpia, mmm. It was a tad hot for me to wear this, but I did it anyway. I was only outside for a short time.

     One of the things I've been trying to do lately is wear things I've never worn or rarely wear. I have this habit of sticking to the pieces that I love, which isn't a bad thing, but I need to get more use out of my other things. I got this shirt for Christmas from my friend and this is the very first time ever worn it. Collared shirts just never seem casual enough me. Until my next post, Elyse. 

Yesterday was the last day I spent with these 5 amazing people until Thanksgiving. We're all going to college and its crazy to think I won't be seeing them every single day at school anymore. We've had so many laughs and so many deep conversations together that I will never forget. I love each and every one of them with all of my heart.

The following is what I wore to have lunch with them. The outfit idea had been sitting in my head for a couple days so I finally threw it on. The morning was pretty cold so I added a jacket to it as well. Until my next post, Elyse.

    Today I went to the Treasure Island Flea Market with my parents. I'd never been to treasure island so I was pretty excited. We got there and it was beautiful. It has perfect views of the bay bridge, golden gate, sf skyline, and alcatraz. There was an awesome array of vintage clothing and homemade things. The flea market is held the last weekend of every month and I hope to start going religiously. 

    My favorite part was this booth that had a ton of books. There's just something about shelves of books that make me so happy. As I was perusing the books I heard a guy say to a girl, "Have you ever read On the Road?"When I heard this I prayed she would leave it behind. I've wanted On the Road by Jack Kerouac for about a year now and my want for it has only increased with time. After a few minutes, sure enough, she put it down and when she left I snatched it up along with a few other books. All four books that i got were $12 all together. A good deal if you ask me especially since I'm incredibly excited to read all of them. 

    The last booth I went to before we left I found a tie-dye shirt dress and red (looks pink on camera) maxi skirt which were $5 each and he threw in a free tote bag along with it. There was so much cool stuff there and this huge statue of a lady dancing upon first entering. It was really cool. If you've never been to a flea market I definitely suggest going. A lot of interesting things and people are there and its just fun to immerse yourself in all of it. Until my next post, Elyse.
