I really just want to live in shapeless sack dresses for the rest of my days.
I don’t know if this is a phase or something, but I’m really glad I have a boyfriend. I’d imagine trying to hook tail would probably be pretty difficult in a collection of muumuus.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those who love maraschino cherries, and those who have fucking tastebuds.
