Ties That Bind

1/3/2018

Happy new year! <3 ^_^ <3 Woohoo! We made it! *fist pump* I ended up having a somewhat miserable XMAS holiday, as I managed to catch the flu. T_T Yes, that's what I get for deciding to leave the house and play, rather than stay inside and stare at my textbooks. Not only did I have to continue to stare at those books, but I had to do so in a way that showed genuine interest while managing to remain upright and be as convincing as possible. Hehe. Needless to say, it was a time I'd love to just forget.

Thanks to the passage of the new year, I can officially put all of that badness behind me. Yay! :P One symptom of being sick for half a month was not being able to (or even wanting to) take photos outside in the freezing cold. So, the outfit I'm sharing today is from late November. My next post will have lots of snow in it, though. I promise. Haha. I'm slowly starting to catch up and whatnot. Bear with me! <3

It's hard to believe that I moved out of the country just 8 months, ago. It has been almost one year. Crazy. I've been studying for my legal assessment exams for 6 of those months. I should finish by March. From there, I'll just be taking practice exams in preparation for the real thing. o_O

Oh, Anna, first of all, happy new year! And second, I don't know what is going on, probably at my side, because I came here on the 3rd exactly and I didn't see this post... anyway, now I saw it and I am sorry you had a bad Xmas time, with flu... but I am amazed how time passes and now it's the 1st week of January already and look at your achievements! Soon you will be OK with studying for exams, just another sort of exams, congratulations! And I loved the beanie, shoes and bow tie with the ruffled dress! You look always very beautiful and I hope you have a *sunny* (if possible) Sunday!

Hi, Denise! <3 Oh, that's OK. I wouldn't give it a second thought. Thank you for stopping by and I appreciate the well wishes. You know, the sun did actually make a bit of an appearance on Sunday, but didn't stay too long. It was nice! :D

Omg, dude. You have no idea. Hehe. Luckily, I was starting to feel a bit more like myself once NYE rolled around, but I still didn't want to risk being out in the cold after dark and especially after midnight, so yeah. Wasn't exactly the NYE I was hoping for, but blah. Heh. <3

I hope you have a great week, too! :DDD

Oh darn, sucks to be sick during the holidays, everyone are eating and burping in your face and you just want to lie in a corner, I've been there!
I hope you are feeling better already and taking those snow photos you promised! :P
I love the red tie, it makes the whole look completely different!

Haha yeah. That's exactly how it is. Just the sound of another person eating made me miserable, since (a) I had no appetite, (b) I couldn't taste or enjoy the taste of anything, even if I wanted to and (c) I'm just one of those people who really hates listening to other people chew their food. So, it was triply horrible. Glad to have shed two out of the three afflictions. Getting rid of that third one will prove much more difficult, I imagine. ;)

Yes! I ventured out into the cold a few times and braved the elements. I always try to keep my promises. There will be snow, next post! :DDD

Thanks! I love burgundy and navy. I always will. Super stoked to have a burgundy bow tie! <3
