Lyrics from Falling Slowly by Jake Coco ft. Caitlin Hart... Do you ever meet someone, and just feel so... fascinated... by them? And you won't stop feeling that way until you've discovered every detail, every reason, every piece of the puzzle that makes them who they are. You won't be satisfied until the moment that you stare into their eyes and catch a glimpse of their soul, a view that's taken so long to ease out of obscurity. This happens to me all the time, but I don't always reach that moment and it frustrates me. I just have to know. I have to know who they are and what they believe in and what they're afraid of and what inspires them and what makes them crinkly-nose smile all the way to their toes.
Anyways, let's swim back to shallower waters.
Last week after uni, I happened to stumble upon racks and racks of winter mark downs at Big W, priced between $3-$10. Of course, I had to take a look. I only had a few minutes to scavenge amongst the clearance items, but I managed to snag a few bargains:
Green cardigan: $10
Green Striped top: $5
Floral top: $5
Jeans w/belt : $10
Even though they were slightly impulsive buys, I'm quite pleased because I've been able to mix and match lots of outfits with them. And they're rather light too, which is perfect for Spring. So even though I don't usually spend that much in one go (I know it's only $30, but seriously, I'm tight... I prefer to use that money for food/other people :P), I think it was worth it. :)
Today before work, I stopped in at an op shop with my eldest brother. It wasn't as good as other times I've been there, but I managed to find a few things that caught my fancy:
Black and brown Marco Polo knit cardigan: $1
Oversized white shirt: $1
Blue shirt (to wear as a light jacket): $1
Amazingly comfy at-home pants which I am currently wearing with a cosy pink sweater: $1
So yeah, quite a few new clothes lately. Buuut I've drawn up a budget and I really, really, really want to try and stick to it, or else next year I'll be one broke uni student! Also... I have way too many clothes! I should take an inventory, perhaps it would dissuade me from feeling like I need anything new. Half the time I only feel like I have nothing to wear because I can't find anything, my room/closet/drawers/bed are that cluttered. I'm such a neat freak and I hate having a messy room, but you'd never guess it! :/
Okay, enough about clothes and clutter. In other news, I finished the Book of Mormon again the other night. I love it how no matter how many times you read it, you can always learn something new every time. I just know that it's true and I wish I were better at sharing that with others.
Tomorrow I'm planning to spend the day at my best friend's house. :) The only downside is that I'm only allowed over on the provision that we will study because he's in his last year of high school has exams coming up next month. It's okay though, because I have a LOT of uni work to catch up on, and I shouldn't really be going out all Saturday but he's had a lot going on lately and I figured he could use the moral support.
Well, I should probably head off... early start tomorrow!
