Shopping at School

Who thought setting up shopping tents on a college campus is a good idea?

When sunglasses make
you feel glamorous

Not only today, but there have been many times where people from LA have driven up to SBCC just to sell their merchandise. The stuff that they sell include: art, jewelry, bags, clothes, sunglasses, etc.. Not gonna lie, their stuff is quite trendy in terms of Santa Barbara's style.

If I can remember correctly, they visit on Tuesdays and Thursdays. At least this week they are doing so. They aren't here every week. Today was the second time I bought something. I thought I'd share what I got and the experiences I've had!

Experience 1

A month or two ago I was browsing around and I got the tank top above. I knew it would fit so I didn't bother trying it on. There was a girl next to me who was trying on something and she asked me for advice. Wait what? Strangers talk to each other in public in today's world? Just kidding. I love when people actually talk to you, it's uplifting. Especially if a stranger asks for your opinion. Some random guy told me I was beautiful at Costco the other day. I wasn't really interested, but I stayed friendly of course. I've become extremely picky in terms of who I like in a dating sense. Although, you can never go wrong with a compliment!

Experience 2

This happened today. I got the dress to the left and needed to make sure it fit in all the right places. I LOVE wearing dresses. They are easy to throw on and can be comfortable. However, they are a pain in the you know what for people like me who are A short and B disproportionate. Keep in mind, these shops are outside. In order to change, they have these mini tent stands nearly the height of myself 5'2". There was barely any space in there and all I could keep thinking was whatifthetentfallswhatifthetentfalls. I got over it, I was inspired by a painting of Marilyn Monroe (which I was tempted to get). If the tent would've fallen on her, she would've came up with something classy/confident to cover the embarrassment up. However, that didn't hide my awkward feelings of being in my undies in the middle of West Campus.
