ever since I watched and read
Anne of Green Gables as a young girl, I always dreamed of finding a kindred spirit. I wanted a Diana Barry to my Anne Shirley. as of late, it seems my dream has come true. my dear friend Andrew, who I featured in my last post, is exactly that. each time we spend time together (since he goes to a university in Virginia, that only occurs in the summer or holidays), it seems even more apparent than the last. today, it was just the same as always. I met him at his house, where he took my outfit photos (like the amazing friend he is) and played me a few of his most recent tunes. then, we spend three hours chatting over iced coffee (mine, of course) and tea (he got vanilla rooibos). here's what I wore...

top: thrifted | shorts: thrifted | belt: thrifted | boots: thrifted | socks: gift
spoon ring: vintage | brooch: handmade by my great-grandfather
these lovely floral shorts were purchased at my favorite thrift store. they were only $1! since floral shorts were on my list that day, I was ecstatic! I think they were originally from Walmart, which makes them even better! this top came from another one of my favorite haunts, America's Thrift. I already have plans to remix it with
this skirt.
now, I have an interesting story to share. today, while consuming delicious beverages with Andrew, I heard someone say my name. I looked up, and there was my fifth grade English teacher! we hadn't spoken in nine years, yet he still remembered my first and last name! considering I was not a trouble-maker growing up (actually, I was usually the teacher's pet, the object of much ridicule), I consider that the mark of a good teacher! since he's a writer, and Andrew is a writer, and I like to consider myself somewhat of a writer, we all hit it off and continued in conversation for quite a while. it was oddly refreshing to have grown-up conversation with someone I once saw as much older. all in all, it was a delightful evening.
well, I have a babysitting job in the morning, so I must be getting to sleep. goodnight, dears. xo, kelseylee.
