Lilacs and a bit of Serious Saturday

Another day, another one of my T2 lovelies. I picked up this dress but I wasn't really sure why I did: the color was very soft and pale while I usually go for strong hues, the dress was at least 3 sizes too big and the print almost reminded me of granny curtains. However, I loved the fabric, the way the color looked on me and the silhouette: even though it was way too big, I could see the potential. T2 was having their sale again so I snapped it up for a few euros, anxious to see what I could make it into. And here we are! I took in the seams and wore it with a belt et voila, lovin' it.

Simple, retro, feminine and very me. Phew, a relief after yesterday's very UN-me outfit! :-D I feel like this would be a perfect outfit for a wide range of outings: a walk in the countryside, a picnic, strolling down the docks of some chic beach town or sipping a cocktail in a bar with the sunshine piercing through my panama hat casting dots of light on my face. Too much imagination? MOI? Hey, if you don't have money to travel all around the globe, your mind has to take you places!

Btw sorry for my washed out face, this picture was taken the day before my last exam and I was KNACKERED! I'm one of those people whose face always shows even the tiniest lack of sleep. Yeay for under eye dark circle coverage! 

Enjoy your weekend babes!

PS: really pissed off about the way the media have been reporting about Dominique Strauss-Kahn and his victim. She "supposedly" lied and had a phone call with a friend in prison right after the rape. But when you get the facts straightened out, it turns out that she "lied" about rape to be able to flee her native country in order to save her daughter from female genital mutilation, and the friend in prison was just there for some crap regarding marihuana (ohnoes!). I don't see any fucking relevance with regards to the DSK case or how this would make her an unreliable witness. I hate how the media frame this shit to imply things by leaving things out. By being very vague about the facts they plant the thought in our minds that she lied in her testimony to the police with regards to the DSK case, while her lies had to do with her past as a refugee. It is an understatement when I say I am infuriated. Rape culture wins again.

Thoughts?

Interesting article on the matter here. 


edit: Some people have been saying they don't know who to believe and that it would be horrible if she was lying because DSK's career has been destroyed. I was thinking the same things when the whole bs started out. However, if a guy starts out denying ever having been in a room, lying about an alibi of being at a restaurant with his daughter, but takes back those words after his sperm has been found, and tries to twist things into "it was consensual!" it comes across as PRETTY condemning to me. Also, they've found FORENSIC evidence (scratches on his chest presumably of the woman defending herself and the traces of sperm) against him. None of that against the woman, no, they have just found out she's lied once years ago to escape her home country. I am disgusted.
