The Cure

Hi friends.
My apologies if you have already seen this on my Instagram and tumblr, but I just had to share it some more.


I've been meaning to post about this jacket of mine since forever. And now I finally am!
Remember when I told you about my goth days
Well this is how I hold on to that part of my life, while moving on. 
When I started to dabble in colour in my late teens, I wanted a way to keep some of my favorite goth relics, one of my most cherished items being this The Cure t-shirt featuring Robert Smith.

(see him peeking out behind my hair and my blazer?)

but I wanted to wear it in a new way. I challenged myself to stop wearing just band t-shirts and black pants everyday. (my goth uniform)

I wanted to incorporate it with my new style, so I turned the t-shirt into a patch and sewed it onto an old black jacket.

I feel it also fits in really well with my maturing style, getting away from wearing band t-shirts, while still wearing band t-shirts....just in a different  way. ;)
I've had this baby for years and i'll never let it go. It's one of my favourite items of clothing, it has this way of honouring that part of me (and my life) while still allowing for change.
Yeah, deep. I know.
What can I say, I listen to The Cure.

This is Halloween!

I think it's clear that I LOVE Halloween.
Really, I love dressing up as beloved characters.

So for the church dance I went as Spock. Complete with genuine Vulcan ears!


It was part of a group costume- rock, paper, scissors, lizard, Spock.


Yeah, I have the coolest friends.

Also, please notice how legit my eyebrows were.
I did them all by my (amateur) self!


Then Wednesday night I decided to dress up again.
This time as beloved feminist icon Rosie the Riveter!




I had some friends over for some caramel apples and classic halloween movie viewing. (The Great Pumpkin, and Hocus Pocus!) A great way to spend the holiday in my humble opinion. 

You'll notice these costumes are incredibly simple-I already had everything needed, just had to put it all together! 
This just proves how insanely busy my semester is. Full course load and working has been in.sane. 
So bear with! It may be another month before i'm fully back!
