Taking a Route, I've Never Pursued

(Vintage Jacket, Charlotte Russe Dress, Dirty Laundry Boots)

outfit redo (and a video!)

vintage top, silence and noise highwaisted shorts, thrifted belt, vintage oxfords + blazer

It's suddenly really chilly and, upon adding these knee high socks and shrunken blazer, I realized that I like this outfit much more than I like the first. Can you tell that I was stretching the last moments of daylight to take these? This is definitely a look I should save for the fall but screw that, I'll wear it during the summer if I want to. Speaking of summer... where is it? Why has it been only 60-70 degrees tops? Something tells me that when it hits 90+ degrees I'm going to regret having complained about this...

(Since people requested seeing me in video mode here is further proof that I am a spaz and can't even get the name of my blog right.)

suburban relapse

vintage top, silence and noise highwaisted shorts, thrifted belt + booties

I forgot to mention this but I'm pretty sure I suffered a minor concussion a few days ago while watching the Cavs play the Magic. I went to the fridge to get ice, dropped a few, bent over to pick them up, got up suddenly when BF called as the game went into overtime, and BAM! I ended up spending the rest of the night with a pack of frozen meatballs on my head and was pretty disoriented for a couple of days. I'm surprised you can't see more bruises on my totally accident prone body.

Erm, I don't know what that rant has to do with the outfit but in any case here's what I wore to take care of a few loose ends while watching what may be the last game of the Eastern Conference finals. I also just booked my flight for LA to surprise my momma for her birthday! I just hope they don't try to convince me to stay home for the summer. I mean, I love my family and all but living in the suburbs of LA just doesn't cut it at the moment. I may have lived there for 18 years but it just doesn't feel like "home" anymore.

(Although I do wish I could be in LA one week earlier to see my fellow blog buddies at the Blogger Shop Day!)

favorite jeans

acne hex jeans in sonic blue, thrifted striped top, anthropologie heels

You know a pair of jeans is amazing when it gives the illusion of a decent rear end where the owner usually has none. I really do have no butt most of the time. I love the wash on these jeans but I definitely need to pick up a few more pairs in bleached denim and black. I'm running out of things to say and I'm being kicked off the computer so I'll make this short. Buh-bye!

(I took a few pictures using my friend's SLR but accidentally deleted them. I forgot to put on lipstick here! It's MAC Russian Red btw.)
