the most annoying thing of the day? waiting for my brother to finish hockey camp and having little kids run around yelling and screaming. i used to have patience with children... 'til i worked with kids three summers in a row. there are always a few that won't listen to anybody, who run away from camp, who purposely try to hurt other kids... it's these kids that made me decide that i don't think i want children.
while watching my brother skate around, i realised that i would love to sketch him skating. when i mentioned this, he asked if i could photograph him as well. so, that's what i'll be doing tomorrow from 9 to 12!
i'm the youngest of four, in age order we are; sister, brother, brother, and me.
of the siblings, i'm the one who didn't follow the same path. i'm the one who went to a different high school, the one who ended up with a disease, the one with any allergies... you get the picture.
but, despite our age differences, all the siblings are relatively close. my sister and i especially.
luckily, we're able to share clothes, though our sense of fashion is a bit different at times... actually, most of the time.
we'd recently been trying to plan a trip to somewhere in europe, but we found out this morning that that wasn't possible, seeing as we couldn't get back in time for her work, and she can't afford to miss any days.
sometime last week, my friend and i had a photoshoot. not as weird as it may sound...
usually we have a theme (nature, sailors, peace, etc.) but this time, our theme couldn't be summarized in only one word. or even one sentence. we went searching for clothes that weren't the norm; things you don't tend to see on the streets. she ended up wearing a shirt as a dress with a tutu her grandmother made her underneath. oh, and don't forget knee socks from our high school years (which are now over, hoorah!) this friend of mine is a beauty, not to mention she's one of the smartest people i've ever met.
i, on the other hand, found a jacket of my dads that he's grown out of, and changed it up a bit. i altered the sleeves to make the more fitted, slightly more feminine. and i also added buttons up one side and down the back, starting closing together and then spacing them up the farther away they got.
the buttons we could never find anything to go with finally went to good use!
i also wore some shoes i bought a few months ago for $5 that look ancient, but i love them. chunky looking, made with old brown leather. j'adore!
the weird thing is, i would totally wear that jacket in public. i love it. i feel like i could take on the world.
i don't know why, but i've taken a liking to taking my dads old clothes and altering them to make them worth wearing for me. i would almost like to call it the 'boyfriend style', but that's definately not what i'm going for. for me, every outfit tells a story. my style changes so much, depending on how i'm feeling, and what story i feel like telling that today. today, i dressed like i was an artist. black flip flops that tie up the leg, short plaid shorts in pale colors, an elbow length black tshirt, and a green beret.
but back to wearing things that look like the 'boyfriend style';
i've wanted to recreate this look for quite some time now, but considering i've been busy, and have had no money for the moment, i haven't been able to.
and that is it for the day. sorry for such an abrupt end, but i've talked about nothing for long enough, and i need to start thinking about what to have for dinner since i have soccer practice tonight. i hope everyone is having an amazing monday!
xxo.
