daily dose: candy striper.

{sorry for the angry face. i was so squinty!}

{can't keep my eyes open. ha.}

i bought this dress last weekend at a friend's garage sale.
and i just love it, i'm always excited when i find a dress that is the perfect length.

and i wore this outfit to work on thursday and i had to run to the post office while i was there... when i walked into the post office there was an older man {probably somewhere in his 60's} and he was just staring at me.
so i just smiled and said, "hi!"
he kept staring
then he said "what are you?"
i was confused...
"what?"
"are you supposed to be a candy striper? why are you dressed up?"
"oh, i just like wearing fun things i guess"
"hmm..."
proceeds to stare at my shoes for an extensive period of time.
so, i finally said, "they're vintage wooden clogs."
"hmm..."
continues to stare, i continue to feel quite awkward.
i don't think i've had someone stare at me for so long in my life.
finally he left and said something bizarre on the way out that i don't even remember now.

people are crazy.

vintage dress - thrifted @ garage sale
vintage wooden clogs - thrifted
headband - thrifted vintage fabric cut-up
hair extensions - stole from my cousin

i'm working a crazy amount of hours this weekend.
yesterday i worked 9-9 and i have today and tomorrow too.
so much for a relaxing weekend!
