Stalked the interwebs until one came in (basically) my size.

Shirt, Jersey Dress, and Shoes - Urban Outfitters
Welcome to my dorm room; if you can’t tell, the bed is usually where I shove everything that doesn’t fit in my half of the room. I knew the day was gloomy when I got up, but somehow I didn’t think that the rain came with the gloom; I was dead wrong. Nevertheless, this is what I wore in anticipation of a presentation that I didn’t present.
Below is also what I mean when I said previously that the x100 doesn’t deal well with single light sources. Then again, these were shot in a relatively dark room without flash and a twitchy subject.

Since my trusted cheap-o Target brand black slouchy boots began their slow descent towards destruction (really, they’re still ok, but I worry how long a pair of less-than $15 boots I bought online during a clearance whim last summer should last), I’ve been hunting for the perfect pair of replacement slouchy/equestrian boots that I can keep for the next 5 years.
This led to a lot of online shopping.
Below is a photo dump of the two boots I got in the mail today. Pretty sure the school post workers are going to think I’m crazy in the next two days, since I picked up two packages today, have one more from Nordstroms, and plan on getting more of these sweet things below.
I ordered these Timberland EarthKeepers Bethel Tall Riding Boots as an afterthought, but they arrived first from Amazon/Endless. They are surprisingly perfect. The color I have is Burgundy (Bitter Chocolate) and I ordered them in a C/D width, even though my feet are narrower. I will live with it because they were the last in my size and I can double them up as winter boots by wearing thick socks.
Slouchy harness boots [in no way meant to be construed out of context] are definitely my thing.
Next up is the Born Crown Sosie Tall Riding Boots in Grigio/Grey. These looked great online but ultimately they weren’t the type of boot I absolutely had in mind. They’re a more streamlined shape, though I’m not quite sold on how the top adjustable harness forms points or the cowboy-like extended toe. The uppers are also more suede-like, which I wasn’t expecting. I may hold on to them and wait till the black version arrives to see how I like them to keep only one pair, if any.

So it’s been almost an entire week now that I’ve gotten my wisdom teeth removed, and so far I’ve just finished all my amoxicillin (but not all my painkillers) and am feeling like I should kickstart productivity before I head back to the cold north of an coast I attend finishing school at. Obviously this leads to less than productive pursuits, such as photographing the partial results of having a car, a credit card, and lots of spare time which I was unable to fill by eating.
Still, in retrospect, getting your wisdom teeth yanked out under local anesthesia wasn’t horrible. I didn’t realize at the time that Novocain increases nervousness, and since I didn’t find out that I wouldn’t be sleeping beauty until 3 hours before the appointment (when the receptionist, cringing, informed us that the oral surgeon was stuck in “traffic” and thus would delay my 3:45pm appointment by 2.5+ hours–not exactly rush hour, but hey, even dentists have their vices), I was very, very reluctant indeed. Eventually this led to a slight breakdown 15minutes before the actual procedure. But that’s alright, because puffy eyes and puffy cheek(s) aside, I could still dress up and play princess in the comfort of my own room. And this, darlings, is why you make sure you’ll suffer no roommate when you get your wisest of teeth removed.

I’m in Puerto Rico for a few days for a family Caribbean vacation. I missed Jamaica (for Japan) last year, but I wasn’t going to miss this one! After many days of waking up early and running around the island to do various touristy things, we finally got to sleep in (until 10am, which is to say, normal working adult sleep in and regular college girl normal on the early side waking hours) and leisurely walk through Old San Juan and the forts there.
