chambray...chambre...ombre

Oh, I bet you noticed right away…yup, I finally found my glasses, missing since mid-January.  I dropped them onto the bookcase next to the bed in the darkness, and by the next morning, they were gone.

Where did I find them, you ask?  Exactly where I thought they’d be, behind the bookcase.  I’ve looked there several times in the months since, perplexed, finding nothing.  Last night, frustrated, I grabbed a flashlight and looked under the bed, behind the bed, between the mattresses…then finally shone the light behind the bookcase and there, wedged in the back, was the telltale pink and black.  Don`t ask me where they`ve been- I remember reading The Elegant Universe years ago and there was some elegant passage about baby universes blinking in and out of existence, fed by the power of entropy.  Well, if there's one place on this planet where the force of entropy be strong, my decrepit apartment is a locus for it. 

What a relief- I feel MUCH more myself now. 

Gap chambray tuxedo shirt, Anthropologie Mimetic skirt, black bead cluster necklace, Indigo Water row boots

I bought this chambray tuxedo shirt on super sale at Gap over the Christmas holidays and congratulated myself for having anticipated the sure need for one this spring.  Unfortunately the XS is so XL in this shirt that I swear I take it in another inch or so everytime I wear it and it's still a shapeless mass (I think I have it pulled back a bit here even).  Sigh- I may have to just look for one that I actually feel good in.  It's a shame, really, since the ruffles are well done, and it's a nice soft fabric... maybe if I just take it in a little bit more...
