Woah, so many thrifted items! I bought the shirt and skirt together, but didn't anticipate that they'd go together until I got home and was trying things on.

Also, I really apologise for the excessive use of my Doc Martens. They've become my default shoe, mainly because another pair of wedges of mine began falling apart (that's Wholesale-dress.net for you). I kind of suck at buying new shoes; when I have the money to spare, I end up buying other clothing pieces instead. I can't help it. I'll work harder, dear blog readers, I promise.

In other (awesome) news: I ordered a Canon Rebel T2i and it should arrive on my door step tomorrow or the next day! Not that I'm dissatisfied with this camera -- in fact, this little point and shoot packs quite a punch -- but I've always dreamed of having a professional grade camera. There's so many more things I want to do with photography that I can't with this camera. I want my photography to be an art form, and I would love to have better tools on hand.

Speaking of my photography (because I hardly mean my outfit photos; those are taken by Kathryn, because she's awesome like that), feel free to browse my dinky little photography blog: Ghosts on the Horizon. I'd really appreciate it! I have tons more photos waiting to be posted.

Hah, these photos were taken like, maybe last month? (Late last month, granted, but still.) I got a second set of earlobe piercings on this day, and a wonderful fake fur vest that you'll be seeing in my next outfit. I wore it to Kind Richard's Faire and someone stopped me just to ask where I bought it, because she had been searching for a decent fake fur vest and dropped $40 on one online that turned out to be less than satisfying.

Also, I get paid on the 21st, and I will be combining funds with Kathryn to purchase a Canon Rebel T2i though a shop-at-home website that offers monthly payments. I had thought to try this out last month, back when the camera in total was about $1050 (approximately $347 per month) but Kathryn advised against it, pointing out that it would be cheaper to buy the camera elsewhere in full. I stalled, because saving up $800 would take forever and the appeal of my master plan was that I give them my first payment plus $15 for shipping, and I'd get the camera immediately. I ended up just putting it all off in favour of focusing on getting Kathryn birthday presents. The camera's price has dropped, and while it's still at $899 on the website (and elsewhere it's cheaper), I feel like this is all just very convenient. I had no real reason to check the bookmarked page I had for the camera, but I did last night, and it's almost as if it's calling out to me. And hell, it seems that most of the negative reviews for it on Amazon have to do with malfunctioning cameras, not the quality of the camera itself. I just can't wait to have the camera and learn with it!
