a little Worn out!

This weekend marked my very last moments of freedom for the next several weeks! Upon closer inspection of my course schedules today I realized that all of my midterms and exams are crammed into the next fifteen days or so, and they seem to have sort of snuck up on me like they always do. It’s all too familiar a tune, one I whistle every semester around this time! That being said, I can’t say I’m all that stressed about it all. There is something sort of comforting to me about crunch time at school. Maybe it’s because it gives me a bonafide excuse to stay in my apartment with apple-cinnamon tea and home made banana bread, or maybe it’s just the comfort found in mundane routine, but I sort of like coming home to a pile of homework and rewarding myself with a good movie under the covers with Lola and my teapot!

In fact this colder weather, combined with my on-again-off-again cold has even affected my online shopping habits! Last week I was browsing all my favourite Etsy shops with a million outfit ideas floating around in my head, but this week I just keep looking at stores like this one that sell perfect little pie moulds and cookie cutters!

Well, at least I celebrated the temporary end of my social life in style! Worn Fashion Journal sent me to a Fashion Pop Montreal event that was showcasing six talented local designers who each created six pieces in the hopes of winning a pretty sweet prize! The whole night was wonderful, but I'll let you guys read more about it later this week when my mini-review of the night shows up on the Worn Blog. Needless to say I was all kinds of nervous about going to the event. For one thing, despite growing up here I somehow don't know a soul and big events where everyone knows everyone scare me since I always end up awkwardly sitting in a corner reading the program until the show starts...I also didn't really know what on earth to wear to a fashion show! I ended up lucking out when I found this dress at the Mission in Point Saint Charles for somethinglike 50 cents! It originally went to about my ankles and looked more like a moo-moo than a dress, but a quick hem and a bright pair of tights and I felt pretty pleased with my sort of 80's version of a 20's inspired look....

If you don't hear from me for a while it's because I'm swamped with work. And if I do post, well it's either because I'm being very efficient and getting all my work done quickly, or because I'm procrastinating, like right now, and writing to you guys instead of for my professors! Good luck to all the other students who are on the verge of a big mid term crunch!
