By the title “Hey, Sailor” you might have thought this was going to be a nautical-style outfit. If you thought that, you would be wrong. This is actually just something I threw together to go to a quick dinner and then do some school work at Starbucks. Normally I don’t hike myself up this tall for something so casual, but as the summer comes to a close, this might be one of my last chances for wedges. Anyway, back to “Hey, Sailor.” That’s actually just the phrase I use as a pick-up line while I strike this pose:

So far, no takers. I think the problem is that I’m too alluring, and therefore intimidating potential…um…sailors.

Now & Then

This is an outfit I wore over the weekend to have lunch with my old freshman roommate, who lives in California, so I haven’t seen her in YEARS. Part of the fun – or horror – of going to college is getting thrown into a tiny room with a random person whom you may or may not like. Your freshman roomie is probably someone you’ll never forget, either because he/she was your very first friend in college, or because he/she was the freak of all freaks. Lucky for me, mine was the former!

We spent Sunday reminiscing about the good ol’ days (the parts we remember, anyway) and catching up on how our lives have changed since then. I think we’ve matured, but only slightly. Here’s a picture of us in our dorm room in 2003, and us today! We’re kind of like wine…age has only done good things for us.
