Alright, confession. I went through the old clothing box at my dorm a few days before I cleared on out. The box is full of clothes that girls on my floor wish to donate or don't want anymore. I know it wasn't the best decision to go rooting through it, but I did it very late at night and very sneakily so. I actually donated something of my own in exchange... so it all evens out!

A catalogue of the things I picked up:

A leather sling. It's roomy, it's soft, it's full of pockets, an absolute must for a person like me, who carries plenty of small items, and I don't understand why anyone would throw it away just because the middle strap that goes around the bag's waist snapped! I love it mostly because there's so much space inside. I can carry a jacket, my tablet, my wallet, cell phone, and camera, and it'll still feel loose atop my shoulder. I love the feeling of roominess, so this bag is an instant winner with me! The broken strap borders a unique fashion statement, and I had no problem tying it up with thread so it wouldn't fall apart, and taking it everywhere. I love it. I have a feeling it won't last very long, but it's alright.

A Super Junior-reminiscent scarf. Chequered and thin and soft, designed not to be rolled around your neck like a winter woolen, but more wrapped artistically, loosely, if you will. I've never owned one of these before and I've always wanted one, but I never went out of my way to purchase one when they were all the rage at Forever 21 and the other vintage-replica clothing stores around the mall. I've never been a big accessories person, but what I can get by chance or by gifts, I love with all my heart. I can't wait to wrap this one around my neck, matched with a white tee and jeans, once autumn starts to roll around and it starts to cool down a bit around here. I have to learn how to tie it first!


I also snagged up a green thigh-length hoodie (it was too soft for me to resist, despite the Chinglish written all over the front!) and a racer-back claret-coloured tank-top (very basic and good to wear at home when I'm doing chores), both of which are not pictured.

Ahh, I couldn't resist! I felt like a homeless person when I went sneaking through the box... but I was careful not to take too much. Still... :)

Okay, I'm off to Keelung tomorrow with my classmates for a 生科營 run-through in the wild, and I have to be at school by 7:45 AM ... eep! Considering it takes me a good 20 ~ 25 minutes to get to school, I can't leave the house too late. Off to shower, charge my camera, stretch my legs, and then to bed I go. I overslept this morning, and I'm determined not to have it happen again. Goodnight all! Kalvin, I can't wait for you to get here!
