Outfit details: dress- Urban Outfitters, bag- secondhand, shoes- Urban Outfitters
However, I have somewhat sucessfully chased my melancholy away. It has involved coming up with individual cheers/chants for the members of my group (you didn't know I wrote songs, did you?) and a rap for myself. These are best utilized when sung on the subway in English. And large quantities of sugar devoured in honor of a friend's birthday.
We dressed up for the event and I wore my tiara. I was surprised when it met with so much approval and now I must be on the lookout for thieves who would like it for themself...
dress- White House Black Market, shoes- Urban Outfitters, tiara- ChicAllure

the beaded tiara is so sweet on you! good for you for getting through the "loneliness".
I feel you. Working in randomly formed groups in the workshops hasn't been easy either. Creativity is such a presonal thing and it seldomly works out when it's expected to work with with total strangers. Maybe you should write us a Fashion Week worshop cheer or rap?
i'm sorry that you feel lonely at times. keep your head up!
i really love your ring and tiara. you always accessoirize so well.
Such a beautiful tiara, very fitting in regards to your surroundings!
Aaaw that's hard. - thrown together groups are always difficult - you're forced to be friends with people who you don't have alot in common with. I've had times in my life where I've felt that way and its not nice but you'll get through it and probably come out of it with a stronger sense of who you are too. *Hugs* :)
BTW Your seashell tiara is just gorgeous and it looks great with your black dress.
You? Rap? Cool.
Being lonely in a crowd is quite something. Because 'crowd', the nature of the word.. indicates that no one will really give a care. It's not like group of friends or family members. Crowd is crowd. It's perfectly normal to feel that way I think. Specially you're away and all. Still You get to hear from me and others who comment here. I'm sure that counts for something (even if it's very little).
That tiara is great. I was expecting something a lot more traditional. I'd say you protect that beauty with your life!
I completly understand feeling lonely in big crowd, especially if you don't know everyone very well.
nice sheets by the way I have them too haha..
The dress in the first pic is so cute.
I like the bold ring a lot.
I think that we who are creative are often misunderstood. Hopefully your blogging friends will help you get through the lonely times.
I understand what you say about being surrounded by people, but feeling isolated and lonely all at once.
It sucks when you are the only one who knows what you are going through, despite being around so many other people.
That's the downside of traveling.
But it looks like you are spinning your way to happiness.
you darling. maybe it's the people who are just plain normal and unoriginal.
btw, i tagged you. have a savvy day.
as always, these photographs are beautiful. all of the lighting, your outfits, everything!
That dress reminds me of Prada. I really like it.
The tiara is awesome!
And I totally understand you! I'm feeling the same with people that don't understand me.
fun photos and once again your tiara rocks, i'm sorry you're having some issues with feeling alone, but we do honestly all have that affliction. i'm a college freshman this year so I've been experiecing it a lot, its hard to try and justify to someone who only wears denim and t-shirts why I felt compelled to wear mustard yellow tights lol
"I find loneliness in forced groups far worse than loneliness when one is alone, because it isn't expected or understood." Well said, sadly though, it is quite true!
Love your outfits and pictures as always, that headband/tiara is especially beautiful! And it reminds me of this wreath of flowers I have, the same thing I thought, so many people liked it, always stopping me on the streets and such, I was just waiting for someone to grab it off my head and run. After all it is NYC, and stealing a headband wouldn't be hard to do! :P

P.S. Would you like to exchange links? :)
Thank you for the comment :)
I understand the first part, of course, I tend to feel lonely when amongst people who do not try to understand me (mark: they do not try at all), and I am cheered up by the saying: "If you do not feel well being on your own you have no reason to do so". But, I don't understand the last part... Maybe I do not try hard enough, but I cannot see how you can get over the blue mood? Please explain :)
Also; isn't the weather too warm for wearing jeans? I would thinks so, but I am just asking :)

Love the hairpiece! You look lovely in it. Thanks for the link. I understand what you mean about feeling alone in a room full of people--that is one of my WORST feelings.
I totally know what you mean, CH!
Love the tiara.
xoxox,

are those freckles i see?
you are such a stunner. that black dress is great.
Hmm yeah, feeling lonely when you're with a group is hard, and then it's doubly difficult because you're beating yourself up mentally for feeling that way and saying you really shouldn't.
You look lovely as always!
Pretty pictures and pretty words as well - you phrased that so perfectly! I'm sorry you feel lonely at times. I hate being lonely in groups as well. I often am, because while I have my circle of friends and I am far from being a wallflower, I am a nerd. A total and utter and complete nerd. I tend to make friends with shy people because I'll go up to anybody and start talking, but in a group of people my own age who I sort of know it's incredibly awkward. OK, so I didn't phrase it nearly as well as you did and it sounds like I'm just saying this for pity, but really, half the time in groups I stick out like sore thumb, in a bad way.
group dynamic can be a tricky minx, can't it? sometimes it seems like far too much energy to force your personality into spaces that simply don't fit with ease. but at least you in good company w/ yourself ;)
Really though, you've not been there very long - perhaps things will shift? Just don't miss out on the now because you feel this way - it's so easy to make that mistake...trust me.
chin up.
I love the tiara & rings! loverly
what an adorable dress
so fun pics!
love it!
a kiss!!!
Yeah, eyepatches are cool! And so are you, and you take damna good pix!
Ah you have sucha happy bedsheet! I love your headpiece as well :)
You are truly adorable! Aye, it's a shame when people just don't get it; but yeah, I just think you look great! From head to toe :)
I've mentioned that before but your pics are fabulous! And the tiara is really beautiful!
Beautiful pictures, you're too cute. Love the headband.
PS. Am I not in your blogroll anymore? =(
you look beautiful.
you better sleep with your tiara on!!! you do never know...
you shine & let everyone else do/say what they may.
you're a gift and are unique and should celebrate it with joy.
but i totally understand what you are saying ...
i'm often surrounded by crazy smart surgeons and i feel like a total outsider.
enjoy the rest of your week love. i'm sure its dreamy...
x.
Darling,
I had a hard, hard, hard morning, emailing back and forth between the Gentleman and myself, fighting about fighting and considering (in my head) ending our engagement because our problems (at the moment) seem bigger than anything else...
Thank you for your lovely comment today. It made me feel like things were looking up.
i know what you mean... if only people would just move on from the fact that you dont have to be uniform to be amazing
but dont worry - i think you always look great :)
I can feel that way in crowds too, but I find the more time I spend in those situations, the better I get at handling them. Definitely dressing up seems to help, atleast I'll have self confidence in that.
You're out of your element, and you're in your element at the same time. I'm glad to know you're making friends and finding ways to get the most out of your time there. It sounds like the birthday celebration was fun, and wearing the tiara must have made both you and the birthday celebrator feel special!
that tiara is amazing. UH-mazing.
It's impossible to feel sad in a tiara.
Oh I do adore those photos taken at dusk...I know what you mean about problems in group travel...believe me. Weather the storm.
there's nothing worse than when someone just doesnt understand or appreciate your sense of style.
fashion is so personal to many of us fashion bloggers, its rough to hear something negative. I say, just ignore them!:)
I agree that sometimes I feel loneliest in a crowd, or in a large party, I'm glad you're 'chasing' those blues away though...That tiara is just too precious, and your photos & experience too!
I had those yellow-Ikea-blankets when in Paris! great pictures and incredible landscapes!
theres nothing worse than the feeling you're having. i had that when i was in high school. i was in the popular crowd, but i feel so much better about myself when im alone at home with my family :) sometimes, people would just never understand the beauty of spending time alone with yourself eyh? :)
people are people, they would just stare if we're a tiny bit different than them, because in some strange world, they epect everybody to be the same, haha crazy i tell you. just dress the way you dress because i love it! & its obvious that a lo more people love it too :) have a loveeely time there kay?
you write songs?!
wow. its good youve come to better terms with your Melancholy Mood (sounds like a blog name right? or like Melancholy Mod? haha)
I love the second outfit, because of the head piece, but your rings are great too.
I really never feel lonely when I'm alone. I don't always feel lonely in groups, but I often am, mainly because of, as you put it, intangible distance. I love these pictures. The first one is stunning and the crown in the 2nd outfit is cool. Writing raps is the best. Thanks for linking me!
Oh, honey, I feel you. I'm used to spending time alone, but when I'm alone in a group? I feel so deeply uncomfortable. Perhaps it's the renewed awareness that alliances may or may not be forming around you that jump-starts the loneliness. The shyness doesn't help either.
I love LOVE your outfits! The tiara looks so perfect on you.
i'm curious to know if all of Athens (or Greece) is ancient and preciously majestic as shown in your photos? Are there malls and apartment complexes?
just remember that you've always got US! we love you and your awesome style :)
but i know what you mean... explaining something that seems so second nature to you is like walking through quicksand backwards.
Pretty pics & cute outfit.
I'd be happy to 'break' to one of you beats...I'm glad you pulled yourself out.xxxx
wow that tiara is HOT! haha!
it's awesome how you can still look amazing even overseas somewhere. everytime i'm out of the country my trend sensors go a bit off!
your accessory pieces in these photos are beautiful! xo
The tiara looks so special. And rapping is always a great way to feel good!
That tiara is so sweet, it fits you. I hope you feel much better now.

p.s. thank you so much for your words!
I feel like the people you are describing are the people at the school I go to. Jeans and flip flops, man. and hoodie sweatshirts. It just makes me not want to know them. The people I do want to know are the people who look eclectic and like they think about more than frisbee games and study groups.
i loooove your rings! and the hair accessory(ies?) are adorable! you look great :)
I think feeling lonely in crowds is a mark of distinction, a concrete reminder that you are a little bit different, but in the best way. Glad you could cheer yourself up, though.
love your tiara.
Loneliness is sadly my friend too...
You, greek goddess, looks wonderful with the tiara!
I feel the same right now, surrounded by people but still a little on the outside, a little removed. That image of you on the beach is amazing
the little brown bag is so lovely, as are you, as usual.
you are so adorable.
ps. i think i'm almost always feel lonely in a crowd.
x
your outfits and photos are always stunning!
ps. i'm adding you to our blogroll

Aaah, everybody should have a tiara! I must get one for myself soon... and put it on whenever I feel down.
I really like your seashell tiara! And it'
s very suitable to wear in greece I think, a bit of afrodite style :)
How many other students are you living with? Are they all from the US?
I'm intruiged by The Clothes Horse rap..
I love the tiara! I would watch out for it as well. ;) Individuality is always lonely, by definition, but braving that loneliness and learning to reach out to others yields the ultimate strength. Jezus I sound like a fortune cookie!
love the headpiece! its a unique take on a tiara, very lovely!
