i'm addicted...so what?

i know you guys are so surprised to see...more plaid!! yay! come on, you have to stick with a good thing right? i love this shirt so much. it's HUGE and that makes it perfect for layering and throwing over dresses. i actually found this skirt at f21 and it reminds me of those cute little skirts that are all over the swedish-style blogs all the time. i love how it bells out but is still very much loose and fluid. i always have a fear that these skirts will somehow be stiff and pouffy--and that i will end up looking like some sort of deranged ballerina or something. luckily, i don't have to worry about that with this skirt. whew.

ok, i give you my word that my next post will be plaid-free! promise. :)

the run-around

i wear this every weekend while running around doing errands- or at least a slight variation. it's hard for me to take these black jeans off. not very exciting but oh so practical and comfortable. it's odd that i find this outfit so unattractive but love it all the same. i've actually been feeling that way about a lot of my clothes lately. let's hope i'm just in a fashion funk...

new silhouette

after salvating over high-waisted, wide leg jeans for most of the summer i happened upon this pair online at urban outfitters about a month ago. they were marked down to $10 if you can believe it. this is the final product after getting my tailor to drop the hem to add some length. i've been wearing them a lot with wedge heels, a button down shirt, and 70s coach saddle bag. these photos will have to suffice though as i've been slacking on new photos.

girls who are boys, who like boys to be girls

speaking of masculine clothing, as of late, i kind of have a things for wearing men's ties. i find wearing them to be very sexy and even a little empowering.

proof that cheap can sometimes be chic

like most people, i hate spending a ton of money on clothing. it is just so not necessary. actually, some of my favorite pieces in the world (and the ones that get the most reaction from people) are from thrift stores. i'm sure most of you could probably say the same. that being said, these pants were quite a surprise from a random trip to forever 21. they are well made (especially by f21 standards) even double lined! i love them, they are the perfect amount of drama without being out of control.
