we were much better at those games in third grade

Today was a half day so Sophie and I bought lots of chocolate and went thrifting. I got this leather vest ($6, oh
thrift how I love thee~)Then we came home and had an intense Bueno Rufus competition. The pressure is beyond anything anyone could ever imagine. IT IS SO DIFFICULT GOING FROM SODA TO ICE CREAM. WHY WOULD ANYONE HAVE ICE CREAM WITH A BURRITO ANYWAY. THAT SOUNDS DISGUSTING.These jeans were passed down from Kirsty Lee to Rumi to..me. One perk of being small is that you get hand-me-downs! And little people know, when little people fight, we may look easy pickings but we've got some bite...
Thanks guys, heartz hearts heartzSophie took this one in an alley by a highway. I love how the vegetation doesn't look too different from the ones in our yard. Don't believe all suburban stereotypes! A fifth grader once told me she liked our yard because it was overgrown with weeds and looked like a magical place where trolls might dwell. Magical, hmm. Yes, yes I like that. *deep in thought*

    Totally jealous of your $6 vest. You look gorgeous, Tavi. How, oh how, do you get the hairbob to stay in your hair? My hair is super straight and clips etc slide right out.

    This is love.

    Your look is reminiscent of an A. Wang slash hibitual mashup I saw in the pages of teen vogue.

    -yes your jeans are very hibitual.

    The vest is awesome, especially for $6! (and I love the Les Mis reference)

    Hey, I've been reading your blog for a couple of weeks, you rock :)
    But anyway I just wanted to comment on that game! Bueno Rufus, omg, I'm so addicted now. I cannot pass level 5 though, too hard.
    So yeah, thanks for that.
    Oh, and you have an awesome sense of style and all.

    The jeans and docs are a great combo. (Skirts are fun, but, randomly, I like the rare occasions when you wear pants. If you wore them more, I'd say the girl in the Bridge to Terabithia movie was totally ripping your look.)

    Ahahah ditto Kirsty but they look so good on you!! Glad they were able to make it to you, what a weird circuit they had to go through first.

    Rad vest..I kind of made one last week by cutting the arms off a leather jacket I wasn't getting much use out of...trying to decide if I'm okay with the ragged edges. I'm way too quick to scissor up the non-scissorable.
