PASTEL GINGHAM

This look is from a while back when I was shooting clothes for the Fabulous Stains! My hair was doing some really awesome flippy thing that day, as you can gather from the pictures... heh. Anyway, the focal point of this outfit is neither the fluorescent green gingham vest nor the pastel patchwork blouse underneath -- it's the fact the blouse and vest match each other FREAKISHLY well. The shirt features small squares of solid fabric, paisley, and checks in, yes, the same shade of green as the vintage vest! Isn't that crazy?! Subtle coincidences like this one start to add up after a while and compensate for all the suffering that apparently is life. Hey, Buddha said it, not me. Don't like it? Take it up with the manager. I'm just here for the refreshments! *Disappears in a puff of smoke and leaves you with a bunch of typical photos of me in cool clothes*

So into the jean shorts. Need more. Need to shop. Need MAJOR cash flow. Need to stop stressing myself out about boring 'adult stuff' like getting a job or setting up a 401(k). Distracting myself from anxiety with whey protein formula, pizza buffets, and sunbathing. Oh, you're also looking for therapeutic hobbies? Here you go: www.etsy.com/shop/thefabulousstains. Buy something!

PREP SCHOOL SUMMER COOL

UGH, why do I ALWAYS feel the urge to dress preppy after school gets out?? It's like, couldn't I have experienced this craving during the Fall or Spring semester when it was actually practical? Totally goes to show that we want what we can't have. And now that it's summer vacation, my natural response is to lust after textbooks and classrooms and all the academic ensembles that go with it (think cardigans, white socks, and lace-up oxfords.) This look is functional nonetheless -- I'm rockin' a high bun and halter top to combat the heat wave. Oh, and my favorite pair of crooked sunglasses! RT if all your sunnies are broken from throwing them into your purse without a protective case WAIT THIS IS BLOGSPOT.COM NOT TWITTER?? What the heck. I guess the heat wave is STILL getting to me despite my efforts to keep cool.

My cutie pie baby blue elasticized shorts are FOR SALE on the Fabulous Stains! Hallelujah! Will be posting TONS of looks featuring our items throughout the week. This outfit reminds me of Virgin Jessica. Do I say that too much? She and Madeline from Jean Greige are pretty much the only two bloggers who non-stop inspire the shit out of me. Except I feel like both of them would have made this outfit ten times cooler... Jessica, with cat-eye sunglasses and cross jewelry, and Madeline, with an oversize jean jacket and creepers. YALL R AMAZEBALLZ!

ROCK & ROLL FOREVER

Checkin' out my sick new duds, eh? Good news and bad news, my friend. These sick duds aren't actually mine. They're YOURS. As in, you can buy them right this second on the Fabulous Stains Etsy page! As badly as I'd like to keep these clothes for myself, I'm not that selfish... I always consider the wants and needs of our beloved community. Pay it forward. Kinda crazy how well everything matches, you know? Nothing does a studded vest justice quite like a rhinestone-encrusted-guitar-graphic tank top. And purple shorts to match! *Kisses fingers passionately in a 'voila' hand motion* Oh wait, that's a French thing, right? I meant to throw up my devil's fingers and headbang. Just remember, no moshing without me. If I find out y'all went to an AC/DC concert without inviting me first, I swear to GOD I will kick your butts to H - E- double hockey sticks and back!!!!

FLORAL HALO

Ha. I'm so clever about referencing musicians I like. Literally though, I'm wearing a handmade floral halo around my head. You've seen it before, but this theme is maybe a little more approachable than the get-up I sported last time. This outfit was inspired by Analisa Nguyen over at Rouge Fox, who I consider to be the poster child of pastel colorblocking and flower prints. I mean, she's really good at this shit. Y'all know how critical I am of bloggers who cop out and pair a baggy white tee with spearmint jeans, lucite heels, and a Birkin bag. I need more juice than that, more steam, more spirit. If fashion bloggers were energy drinks, Analisa would be Full Throttle because she goes hard and takes it home. But she's so subtle and modest about it. And dainty!!!! She'd probably read this and be like, "energy drinks?? Bebe, I drink coconut water. I'm all about getting my RELAX on. That's why I wear so many pastels and photograph myself in the haze of my flowery suburb." Chill life.

Me and the rest of the Stains are catering to our color-hungry customers seeking a pair of GREEN JEANS in a size 4! These electric pants are available for purchase at $20 -- hit us up on our Etsy page. "LOVES IT!" - our unofficial motto (I'm probably the only Fabulous Stain who thinks Paris Hilton is a goddess... Jessi may tell you otherwise, but I've seen a bottle of Paris Hilton perfume on her dresser so I KNOW she has a secret soft spot!!!!)
