today’s get-up 18dec09

i know some of you have seen me in several outfits that are meant only for crazies, and yes, sometimes i wear those crazy shits to school. then again, that only happens when i actually get up about an hour ahead of class with enough time to figure out my outfit and take the subway to school.

during the last few weeks of school, i was so sleep-deprived and bordering on depression and boredom, that my outfits were really just, utterly uninspired.

if i even had the luxury of a few hours of sleep each night, i’d wake up probably after the fifth (or tenth) alarm had rang, and stay in bed cursing at everything before finally dragging myself to the bathroom. and because i just could not care less, or rather, i was too tired to even care, i’d just throw on some tshirts, some easy pants, a jacket and hat and go on my way.

the last week of school was particularly bad and my eyebags were almost up till my chin. and this was me, back home on the last day of my school semester. 3 minutes after these photos were taken, i took a shower and fell into bed where i slept for 18 hours straight, woke up only to pee, and then went back to bed for several hours more.

+ bear coat by mercibeaucoup;
+ hat by y3
+ tshirt by kidrobot
+ long sleeved tee by uniqlo
+ pants by vivienne westwood
+ opened-toe boots by undercover

so this is me, half of each week, running around new york city with a bag that weighs more than a 5-year old child, and feeling like i’m 50. not quite glamourous or anything stylish, but then, whoever told you fashion was glamourous was a big fat liar.

it isn’t. at least not to us, the people who work behind the scenes to bring you clothes.
