O CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN

I'm probably too fond of this velvet-blazer-and-floppy-hat combination, because it means that I'll be wearing it way more often than is socially acceptable this winter. So I can either tame my obsession, OR I can buy more floppy hats and velvet blazers. I think I'll go with the latter. My outfit hardly has a theme, but perhaps you could call it a cross between cosmopolitan, collegiate, and a distantly related cousin of something nautical. The skirt is from my best friend Jessi, who bought if off eBay years ago and cast it aside in her GIGANTIC closet. I guess if you had a billion pastel tutus, you'd probably forget about vintage ruffle skirts every once in a while. Either way, I saved this one from abandon! Aye aye.

I think it's really fun/funny to wear outfits like these the day after I wear an outfit that looks like a chicly rolled out of a dumpster (choker necklaces still intact.) People get really confused by kids like me who wear drastically different themes every day. For the record, yesterday I sported a cyber-goth raver get-up as a "visual aid" for a speech I gave in journalism about the Hollywood club scene. Maybe I'll post a few pics.

GET THE LOOK!

WASTED

WAAAAAAAAAAsted shWAAAAAAAASted if this were early 2010, I'd have typed triangle and cross symbols up the wazoo. Anyway, I'm not really wasted, unless chugging 2 liters of wild cherry pepsi on a Monday morning counts as "hammered," "plastered," or in the words of Robert Lanham circa 2003, "shellacked." But I think if you were 'bout ready to mount your Harley Davidson and down a couple shots of Jack Daniels (what is it with badass things having badass first and last names?) you'd probably wear an outfit like this. I guess my theme is "teenage biker fixin' to kick butt and drink beer."

These are my new creeper-soled lace-up oxford boots. If you don't like them, just CLOSE out of this window right now. They are all I'm gonna care about this winter, so if you see me wearing them two or three or five or nine days in a row, don't say I didn't warn you! They're the perfect walking shoes and make every one of my otherwise 'mild' outfits look pretty darn rock n roll.

FLORAL FEMME

It's cold and windy here, so I figured I'd revisit happier times by featuring a look where layers are few and the only jacket I need is a layer o' sunshine! Yesterday I wore a scarf and peacoat. Some say I react too dramatically to a cool 66 degrees, but in my universe, it's torture. So here's to lifting my spirits with memories of light floral dresses and summery sunnies.

Sunglasses - Secondhand
Pearls - Secondhand
Dress - FOUND THIS in my suitcase on my way back from LA! "#score" - someone with a really primitive twitter brand
