apricot’s closet: out & about.
T-shirt from American Apparel; shorts (previously pants) from Wet Seal long ago; boots from Payless long ago; necklace from a boutique downtown.
It’s back to being sunny & hot here in California. Just days ago, I was bundled up in coats & scarves (it was overcast, gloomy & rainy); now I am scantily clad in shorts & flimsy tees. I shouldn’t have even wore these boots today; they were too confining. I took them off immediately upon coming home from my therapist appointment.
The necklace is a treasure for me. I purchased it in the salon I used to work for. I was immediately attracted to it, because I saw that it was an elephant (apparently, no one knew that it was an elephant until I gushed about it). The retail price was $40, but since I worked there, my discount allowed me 50% off. I told myself that if it was still there in a month, that I would get it. A month later, I purchased it & wore it religiously. I don’t know where the Salon bought their jewelry; they just said they found it “downtown.” But apparently, whomever it was that created this, created it by hand. Someone in the salon told me that it’s hand carved wood. So it’s an original, imagine that!
& poor Sofie Aiko; she did not want to take this picture.

@ katelin: thanks! This is the first shirt that I’ve successfully been able to wear this necklace with.
@ Natalie: What I do is go to the thrift store, find pants that fit almost perfect & then cut them into shorts. The washer will help them fray at the end & because they’ve been previously worn, they’re not stiff & uncomfortable. :]
@ tiffany: thank you! she’s a little devil, that dog.
@ Lu: thanks. ;]
@ sharon: I was trying to bring her closer to me because she wanted to scurry away. She did NOT want to take this picture. She is really attached to Jonathan, so I think she was missing him, actually.
@ Amanda: thank you! I’m feeling the love.
@ denise: I got this tee in a small. As much as I like snug tees, I like to give them some room just in case the wash decides to shrink them a bit.
