    Life Rambles: On Dieting.

    Note: I’ve realized lately that I really want my blog to be more than just about the fashion aspect of my life. I have always been terrible at writing diary entries; from the tender age of seven, I’ve hoarded pretty diaries like a magpie pilfers shiny things, but I rarely wrote on more than ten of their pages. So I’m hoping to put more diary-like entries entailing things about my life other than what I’ve been wearing into the blog (along with pictures, if I happen to have some). I love fashion, and that will always be the primary focus of my pictures, but I want to write more about… life. I…

Lose 5 pounds. I don’t remember if I’ve mentioned on the blog, although I definitely have on Facebook, that Mr. Owl and I weigh the same, give or take a pound.  And it’s been this way since we started dating. But seeing as how he and I have both gained about ten pounds since…

    My library is better than yours.

    So this is what I wear when I go to the library. I always wonder if they ever try to figure out what it is I do, because I’m always dressed up… and I always go in around ten or eleven in the morning. Hmm. Anyway. Yay for more semi-awkward pictures taken by my mom! I so need to learn to stand still and wait for the click of the camera. Secret: this skirt? It’s a dress. Yeah. Shocking, eh? I mean, it’s not like I’ve ever done that before… Okay. Maybe I have. So I have another confession: I’ve committed a very grave fashion sin. I bought a dress…
