SUNNY SIDE UP

I am feeling ~fried~ in the best way possible right now... I got my egg boobies crop top from Red Rock Fashion on and I am ready to brunch in beast mode. First time you've ever heard 'brunch' and 'beast mode' in the same sentence, huh? I try to keep things fresh here in my corner of the universe... fresh like Prince of Bel-Air, whom ultimately inspired this outfit. My cardigan features a spotted print reminiscent of zany 80s patterns. And while I'm not rocking any color-blocked neon or fluorescent stripes, I do have on my snapback and chains. Sunny side up game on point.

Snapback + spotted cardigan - YES STYLE

So these i n s a n e shredded shorts are from Mustard Cartel, an online vintage shop that sells on-trend apparel like a leather peplum blouse and transparent fringe kimono. And they have a pretty impressive denim shorts collection, so there's more studs and shreds where these came from!

BAD TO THE BOW

Bows in my hair, under my jacket, all over my accordion pleat skirt. I'm most certainly bow to the bone. Toss a couple studs and some platform stompers into the mix, boom, I'm lookin pretty bad to boot. Bad in a... good way? I definitely feel like a smitten schoolgirl trying to impress the likes of Joey Ramone and Johnny Thunders. Band dudes PUH-LEASE pay attention to me! I didn't spend fifteen minutes putting my hair up all cute for nothin'.

Me and my sister really got a kick out of having to hop a small fence to take these pics by the Fontainebleu abandoned construction site. There's a whole underworld beneath the unfinished architecture... wish I could explore it but that'd entail tricking a security guard into letting me do a photoshoot among the piles of bricks and heavy machinery. And in this outfit? I look like I'm just begging for trouble. In my dreams.

DOT YOUR STRIPES!

How many black and white outfits in a row do you have to wear to before it's annoying? Asking for a friend. No, seriously, I feel like I'm hoarding inspiration of the 'stereotypical French fille' variety and manifesting it in my ever-more-Parisian wardrobe. It's funny because French people seriously don't dress the way I imagine that they do. Really emphasizes how un-cosmopolitan I am deep down... my sister has traveled to Europe and insists that, though Parisians are thin and gorgeous and conscious of their appearances, they don't wear black and white stripes quite as often as they wear Longchamp bags and flats. Boo. I want everyone to look like a page out of a coloring book. Except no colors, please. Can my monochromatic outfits emphasize that enough??

FROM TOP TO BOTTOM:
Veiled hat - Frank Olive, Neiman Marcus
Sunglasses - 80s Purple
Striped dress - YES STYLE
Lace socks - Forever 21
Polka dot heels - PINK & PEPPER
Bag - Lanvin

You know what's a cool thing? Stripes and polka dots in the same outfit. Even cooler is stripes ON stripes. I don't understand not being self-aware about cliche patterns and arranging obnoxious combinations for kitsch appeal. This outfit is pretty mild (if you're me) but now I have better ideas... in need of a mannequin to test my fashion visions before I publicly make a fool of myself. If you love the polka dots adorning my lil' feet, get yourself a pair by placing an order here or browse other styles on the PINK AND PEPPER page on DSW!

P.S. Romwe is having a MAJOR sale where everything in stock is 75% off until July 31st... that's the day after tomorrow! Like I said before, most of my staple garments, like blouses, sweaters, and skirts, come from Romwe. Even their accessory collection is top-notch! You can find creepers, stilettos, and chunky platform sandals in the shoe department. It's worth a look, even if you don't end up making a purchase. Lots of inspiration to go around!

DARK AFFAIR

When I first laid out this outfit, I imagined that it'd be much more gauzy and gothic. The concept of a leather, velvet, and transparent robe triforce seems witchy... like maybe a Stevie Nicks stage costume. But when I paired the fundamentals (skirt, corset top, see-through shawl) with accessories better suited for a fancy dinner than rock concert, I ended up with this. Dressy party-wear for one of those events where everybody eats expensive cheese and talks about film noir. Don't get me wrong, I love me some brie, but my ideal affair is a tad darker... some witch house band playing a live set while everybody takes pictures of each other and eats barbecue potato chips.

I don't treat myself to new shoes too often (J FREAKIN K) but when I do, sometimes I value novelty over practicality. Not in this case. These black sandals with a thick heel are the perfect departure from my more traditional black stiletto pumps. Glad to have something a little more casual to pair with or without socks.

STEVEN TYLER

Yeah, I really went there! I'm in Aerosmith territory now, so get on my level and walk THIS way, y'all! I received this pair of leather True Religion pants from the LOOKBOOK.nu x eBay fashion collab and am working them the one and only way I find fitting: like a legend of rock. They fit like a glove - a fingerless leather glove, rather, and are probably the coolest things to have ever entered my denim drawer. Besides a pair of flame-print vinyl flares, but those are a little too 'pyro' to be considered practical (or fashion-friendly, if you want to be fair.) There's only one accessory I'm missing here, and it's a microphone. It also wouldn't hurt to hook up the botox and rhinoplasty so I can look as perfect as Steven Tyler in his golden age.

My feather clip and shark tooth necklace are from a jewelry and headwear line called ROCK N ROSE that I've been repeatedly featuring in my Polyvore collages as of late. I think the only instance in which a feather hair clip and earring are acceptable is when they're worn in an homage-to-classic-rock context. The whole idea of a "free-spirited at music festival" theme is too played out. I'd like to see more unique interpretations of feather, bone, and tooth accessories. This one's all for you, Steven.
