leather or denim

Outfit from... Sunday? Yes. Dinner, yada yada yada. I actually forgot I had this skirt, it was hidden behind the masses of others and when I found it I freaked out.

As for footwear, I have found that orange leather loafers go with absolutely everything.


I know you've seen these way too many times before. I just love them too much.

I couldn't decide between wearing the denim vest or the "leather" blazer over it...I obviously decided on the vest, but this little combo is sure to be worn soon.

(I'm aware it doesn't look anything like leather in the photos but it is.)

This post probably would have been better scheduled around January 20 or November 4. Now, though, the hubbub surrounding the new president is fading a bit, and the "CHANGE" tank top is even older...

But it's $40 Alexander Wang, and even fashion lovers for McCain would be searching high and low for it.

And here I present-

How many children of yours would you eat for that CDG jacket above?

[insert cheesy yellow fever pun here]

It's about time for an actual post, right?

This is the only picture I had for my outfit on Saturday- I had to get a photo of that amazing view outside...


And yes, I'm aware you can barely see the outfit, but to help you out, I'm wearing this top and this skirt, which was basically an eyesore of yellow polka dots. I started off wearing white tights and those Steve Madden boots as well (I swear I do own other shoes..) but I was getting warm in the tights (In February.)

top: marimekko
skirt: made by me

the breakup. the makeup.

Well...
This is a bit awkward.
We haven't seen each other in a while, and the chemistry just isn't there anymore.
I hope we can mend this relationship, to make it how it could have been.

Alright, now that we've had this talk...
we need to have another talk.

Outfits lack when you have exams (which, true, ended a week ago) and I don't think anything noteworthy has happened in between those times.

Plus I left my camera at a party last night, so that's fantastic.

I will leave you (hopefully not for long) with this:

a thirtyfifth birthday

We had a free dress day at school yesterday and school started late, so I had a bit of time to take pictures. Yes, there's only 3, but it was bloody freezing outside and I couldn't really take it.

Don't expect me to post anymore next week either- exams are still beating me up.

Title refers to Miss Kate Moss, happy birthday to her.

destructed

I had absolutely no idea how popular my school uniform shoes were. As proved by the comments on my last post, they are actually...cute? I can't look past them as the shoes I wear every day for my uniform, but if you enjoy them, that's quite alright with me.

We have exams coming up so posting probably won't be frequent. But to keep you until then, I finished bleaching/shredding the denim vest that I bought here. I am quite pleased with the progress. It was too late at night when I was shredding it so it's not fully ripped to my liking. I'm planning on doing some more.
There's lots of other bits of sandpapering and shredding around it, but you know, who has time to take pictures of that?

it has come to an end

Well, winter break had to end some time.

It actually pains me to think about putting on my school shoes tomorrow.

magenta bows, black fur

Today I was able to check one thing off my shopping list. My friend and I went to the fantastical vintage store Ahab Bowen today, quite an enjoyable time.

And this lovely thing is what I picked up. It was $32, so we assumed it had to be faux fur...but now I see it's real. Gahhhh. I kind of feel guilty, but people make good points- "But really, if we eat the meat, shouldn't we wear the skin too?" said The Clothes Horse. I don't want to make this a fur-or-no-fur post, so let's get on.

It's pretty though, isn't it?

I would rather have found a tan/beige one, but alas, I didn't get that lucky. 

I love what my friend got- a long hot pink skirt with a huge bow. It's a bit strange, it's cut out in the center...

But it's adorable. We have no idea how she should wear it, but we figured she would regret it if she didn't snatch it up. Edit: anyone have any idea on HOW to wear it?

An Irritating Reminder:

I'm doing a Q&A post, so ask me questions! I've put "keep asking questions" on the bottoms of a few posts, but I'm now realizing that new readers who are too lazy to scroll down a bit might find that a little confusing. So yes: Q&A. Your questions. Answered.
