oh deer!

Posted by aprile on 2009.04.29:

First of all, I have a new favourite dress. And new favourite shoes. It's been so long since I've been shopping for anything, and my style has changed a lot since working in retail—when wearing your store's clothing is a requirement. I feel happy that I can buy what I want to buy now. But I'm still jobless, so no shopping sprees for me.

The cotton dress/tunic is from Zara, and cost $20! The shoes are from Payless, a new eco-friendly brand they have called zoe&zac. I liked them so much I purchased them in both colours. Partly because I couldn't decide, but also because of BOGO—which I think is terrible branding, it should be buy one get one half off, but that just isn't right (BOGOHO). They were—unfortunately for me—$15 more than the US price. Go figure.

We went for a walk a few days ago around the University of Toronto campus. This is the best place for walks downtown because U of T is it's own little place completely unique from the rest of the city. I wish I could have gone to school here, but it never would have worked out in my favour. There is nothing there that vaguely interests me—except for the campus itself—I don't see myself as an art history major.

It was the first summer-like day, and everyone was outside enjoying it. I am so jealous of all the students that get to live in residence there, because all the residences are in pre 1900s buildings and churches. I would give anything just to go inside one of these buildings. Hart House is one of my favourites, I could spend forever in there just walking around. I am completely anti-residence, my school doesn't even have on-campus housing, but if I had known what living at U of T was like... Well...

Don't make fun of my freckles (I am officially a "freckleface").



"Oh deer!"

I think you look cute with your freckles. I went to payless today, too. Got two cute shoes with the great BOGO deal.
