ocean of green









 (eating an early lunch at The Green Room, trying to gather warmth from standing outside.) 

(an afternoon snack full of colors thanks to Terra Chips.) 


(purchased this little thing today.) 

(bands in apartment building basements.) 

(coat/dress/collared blouse: thrifted, sweater tights: h&m, boots: payless, flower headband: charming charlies, rings: h&m and vintage from my mom.) 

   Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! I hope each one of you had a lovely Sunday, and hopefully the weather was not as gloomy where you reside as it was in my town today. I am neither Irish nor Catholic,  but I do love celebrating any sort of holiday and dressing in theme, so of course I took this day seriously! With being a future Kindergarten teacher, I feel the need for loving random (or not so random) holidays is a must. Anyways, Kansas City always holds a giant parade that stretches over 10 blocks on Broadway, with lots of food trucks and bars opening bright and early. Needless to say, it sort of becomes a mad house, but the rain and slight hint of snow toned down these masses... or at least me. 
   After venturing around and viewing the floats, my boyfriend and I shared a light lunch to stay inside the warmth for a bit. Later, we took a trip to an abandon freight store in a suburb, where I bought a Polaroid 300 Instant for extremely cheap and brightened my whole day. We ended our evening at a local house show and watched some friends and out of town bands play in a basement. Those are the best kinds of shows and I am happy to end an evening with discovering new listenings and being in bed at a reasonable time for my first day back to school after break. Whew, a rainy St. Patrick's Day here was made the best of.

  12. I didn't make it down to KC this St Paddy's - what a sham. But the weather sucked so you're braver than me. I did have some vegan Shepards pie, Guinness and some baileys - that counts for something right?
