Button That Top Button.




My mom and sister have been threatening to cut off all the top buttons on all my collared shirts for my mission. What is it about awesome that they don't understand? Theres something so great about that one little detail that completely transforms a boring ordinary collared shirt into a shabby nerd/gangster/oxfordy/librariany/beautiful piece of clothing which happens to be ***bonus*** super modest.
I guess it's the only way I can justify wearing those shirts because they never look quite right on me. I can't take myself seriously when that fabric is dangling open, it looks sloppy. I can't help that I love the way the collar looks when it's closed. There are so many different shape of collars, which make it fun. Some of them point straight down or point off into different directions, some are long and some are short, it's a surprise waiting to be discovered, and you'll never know until you do it.
I met a boy at Called to Surf who completely supports my BTTB Movement (see post title), as well as Seany, both opinions which I trust, so who's with me?

Handwritten 6: Little Loves

I've been noticing scribbles people write down, and I love it! Every time my mom leaves town and we have to house sit, we get the best notes of all time posted on every inch on the house, they make me laugh out loud every time I see them. Then there's Jen's little scribbles all over every piece of scrap paper in the house. I have to save them all because some day they will be as precious as Picasso's sketches. Little critters and creatures and cuddly squishy blobs with eyes and circle cheeks. I'm beginning to collect these little pieces of paper people leave around, it's a little trail of their lives and I want that part to be remembered the most because it's the real them, their real handwriting, their trail of thoughts left behind. Sorry they're all a little fuzzy...
