shopping

there is an outdoor market in my town that is simply enormous. it's 30 acres and full of stalls that sell sun glasses, bags, plants, food, jewelry, perfume, phone covers, and just about everything you can think of. I went in the early morning, the best time to go. It was still very crowded, and people were pushing each other to get by in some places. I had the weirdest feeling the whole time I was there, like all the words had been sucked out of me. vendors would ask me questions and I would only smile or shake my head. I managed to get through the morning with almost no speech. it felt liberating, but then also it felt foreign and cold.

before the market I did pilates and took a shower, but I forgot to eat breakfast. oops. the rest of the day I stayed around 1,000 calories, but I drank so much water that when my dinner was over I felt sick. I really shouldn't have finished all that zucchini.

while the american girls were winning the gold in gymnastics, I was shopping online. I got new letters (shirts with sorority letters on it) to wear in the fall. I think I picked out cute ones, it's a dark grey v-neck with light pink letters and champagne stitching. can't wait to wear them! I also ordered a navy peacoat and annother sorority themed tee shirt. I'm getting really excited for rush haha.

then I spent like an hour trying to decide on a pair of boots. here are the two I'm torn between these:

and these:

I like the laces, but I also love the floral and the color... such a tough decision.

help me pick?
