12.30 // a plethora of outfits, a myriad of clothes

went shopping yesterday, probably spent more than i should have... but got some good stuff. took pictures of it today...

skirt (pashmina), orchid lane. top, old navy. blazer, old navy. shoes, thrifted.



skirt, top, & clutch - old navy.
no shoes because i don't have any that really go with this. unfortunately, i ran out of money yesterday. this outfit is my favorite of the 3.


top - JCP. shorts - target. shoes - thrifted. sunglasses (!) - claire's.
this one made front page at chictopia :)

I got the sunglasses with a gift card at Claire's... circular tortiseshell 60's-ish. I love them :)
Got the tank at JCP, rather surprisingly - picked up a pair of super cheap jeans there too ($15!). Good shopping day.

Wow sorry, this is sort of a crap post - I'm going to work on the bw&chic entry about rocker/chic/grunge/80's a bit more.

12.09 - sarongs et blazers

haha oui - i mean, yes - i really did type "et" in the title en lieu d'"and"... i guess i really am going french. :P
anyway, i found/rediscovered my 2 sarongs in my closet and was messing around with them. i'm so excited for spring/summer now, i'm going to get some more and *live* in these things. they're unbelievably comfy and lightweight, and - as shown - can work great with blazers and the like. whee!
wraps: orchid lane. shoes: thrifted? (i don't remember). blazer: f21.

j'achete aussi un manteau de target...

ehh i'll fix this later... mon computer (agh!) is being tres stupide, et il seulement a 147 MB libre... ainsi, bonne nuit jusqu'il plus trop...

latest buy: gray bf cardi

so i finally got a basic light gray boyfriend cardigan. [don't mind the sweats - i'm still sick, and it's just that sort of day.]FINALLY. from target, surprisingly. i also saw a cute red plaid blazer and some cord jackets, but alas - i was running out of money. the target site seems to be down, so i snapped some pictures while i was there... top: black ruffle GO blouse, target
bottom: red plaid GO blazer, target ($40... that i totally don't have. i NEED a job.)

and yes, it's STILL raining. weather coming up from hurricane ____ (whatever it is now... ike, i think?) yeah. so it's 70, humid, and raining cats and dogs, pigs and piccolos, ants and flamingos. aka, hard.
and i'm still sick, unfortunately. i have no idea how i'm going to run tomorrow... at least there aren't any meets this week.
haha... i'm seriously considering getting a pair of wellies... with this weather, i'm bound to need them. :P and i just looked at the radar... there's a cloud over michigan. all of it.
that's a big cloud.
*sigh* ok well, i'm off to study for a history quiz tomorrow at... shudder... school. how am i going to get through the day? (i'm thinking sweats, sorry. slackerism calls.)
i'm outie.

just a few things...

ok. so this is my current f21 want list (short version). cloche hat, velvet blazer, orange peacoat and leather tote, 5.5 inch oxfords (!), silk dot bra and that amazing vintage-esque lace skirt. love. and this is an amazing tracy reese heel i found... j'adore!
it's been raining all day. i like it. that's all.

becoming fall...

so i was bored today and i haven't posted any outfits in a while, so here....
also, a few updates:
1. football game/band on friday: we actually WON! 10-6. we were freaking out in the back, the bass section. woot. charlie was beyond happy, as was david... they got to turn their bells around (so i did too). umm what else...
2. car wash yesterday: good. me, A, and nat yelled at cars the whole time. it was great :)
3. beach yesterday too.

i think that's about it... back to working on my essay and (ugh) studying for the bio quiz. AlReAdY, i know. uuughh. oh well.
