did you step out of a magazine spread?

Sometimes, some people on campus just catch your eye. There are so many people going back and forth, so many fashion victims, so many clotheshorses that honestly, all the Gisele-wannabes just don’t stand out anymore. But yesterday in our discussion group, there was a girl who, to me, stood out because she looked like she had come straight from a fashion shoot for a magazine.

She wasn’t at all good looking, she was quite plump and had nothing to recommend her. It was her outfit that interested me. She had gone with a green theme, from hair accessories to skirt. And she carried it off without looking like a tree or bush.

The trick was that she wore different shades of green for the top and bottom. Her top was forest green, but her skirt was a lighter, somewhat mint-green without the blue undertones. Her hair-clip was jade-green, and she had small dangly earrings with green stones/ glass beads. The highlight of the outfit was her jade pendant. It hung on a black string, and it was huge. I don’t think it was genuine jade, but from a distance that is what it looked like. That was the piece that really drew your eye to the rest of the outfit. Wow. I try to dress to a theme as well, not colours but more of a certain look- preppy, slacker, schoolgirl. That’s why I appreciated her effort to put together that outfit. And the most amazing thing? Her T-shirt wasn’t super small or tight, and her skirt was a decent length. The skin-baring stick-girls out there should take note.

I hatched my new pink Tamagotchi today, and reset the blue one, so I had two babies to take care of simultaneously. My boyfriend helped, but after he left and I went to the shower, the babies got demanding and pooped, changed into the child form and slept. It happened so fast that I couldn’t have reacted if I had known. Ah well. Little pixellated creatures. They won’t disturb me again till tomorrow morning, so that’s some peace and quiet for me. I’m going to switch off their sound. It’s not so appealing when you have TWO to look after. The beeping drives you slightly nuts.

Anybody with a life is probably shaking their heads at me right now. Well, don’t shake in silence, leave me a comment!
