thanksgiving baking

sweater - american rag, corduroys - j.crew

This was a total lazy day at home outfit. I love this sweater but I don't really know how to wear it. Like every outfit I wear with it feels like it could be better, but I don't know how. But the kimono sleeves and smocked waist are just so rad!

Also, I made the BEST Cranberry Curd Bars with Walnut Shortbread Crust for Thanksgiving. Seriously, click that link and try these! They would be great for Christmas too, and they're really pretty easy. I almost fell on my kitchen floor when I tasted the curd. They are the prettiest pink color!

you'll know what makes the world turn

dress - thrifted, moccasins - minnetonka, belt - thrifted

I've had this dress in the back of my closet for ages and just never wore it before. It's super comfortable and the color is crazy. So blue! The belt is also from the thrift store and it's this great rainbow woven leather thing. One of those weird sorts of things that thrift stores are so great for.

feather floral

dress - old navy, moccasins - minnetonka, bag - liberty of london for target, peacock feather earrings - gift from j, beaded bracelet - diy

Guys, this is what I wore when we went and saw Scott Pilgrim vs. the Universe which was so good. I had to work, which sucked because it was insanely hot that day and we had to move like half the store because the floors were getting stripped. The vibe was definitely a kind of hippie/safari chick. My favorite earrings are definitely these peacock feather ones. Actually I really like all the accessories here. I miss wearing my moccasins now that summer is over and I'm too cold for bare legs.

modelo and bright tights

dress - from cousin, tights - target, flats - target, sunglasses - thrifted humphrey's

These crazy brightly colored tights are awesome. I pretty much always wear them with a simple black jersey dress. Do you think I should branch out and find different ways to wear the tights? I like watching my little lunch spot change from day to day and season to season. That empty Modelo can was by that rock for about a week. And my goodness, I miss those bright summer days and wearing sunglasses all the time. This spot is currently covered in snow and ice. I'm posting this, selfishly, because I want to feel warm.

apple picking/scavenging

shirt - thrifted, sweatshirt - gap, jeans - gap, sneakers - pf flyers, watch - grandpa's, glasses - zenni optical

I went to this park in Redmond to scavenge apples on a day I thought was going to be all cool and fall-like but ended up being way too warm for the layers I decided to wear. But we explored the community garden and I took masses of pictures of pretty flowers and things. It was really nice. Later, I went shoe shopping and bought my mom some cute flats as a late birthday present.

policeman in the clouds

sweater - step-dad's, 90s dress - thrifted, pleated skirt - thrifted, tights - old, clogs - jeffrey campbell, purse - thrifted coach, lip color - just bitten lipstain by revlon in gothic

Guys, I think this might be one of my favorite outfits in a really long time. I wore this to work, for no special reason, although everyone kept asking me if I had a date or something. Hehe. The heels were a little intense for a whole day of work, but I stuck it out. I had flats in my locker just in case but everyone was so doubtful that they would be comfortable that I just had to stick it out. They are mad comfortable, but 8 hours in heels is kinda too much for me. But SO cute, god I can't even handle how much I love these clogs.

This is such an example of how goth-y I've been feeling since I dyed my hair darker. So much grey and black. I mean, I loved a bit more color for awhile, but deep down, I'm a black kind of girl. And dudes, how great does that pleated skirt look under the floral dress? I'm rambling, and sadly don't have any exciting stories to go with this awesome outfit, but yeah, wearing rad shit makes me stoked.

total shit and the normies

tee - pacsun, cutoffs - diy/thrifted, socks - target, boots - thrifted, bag - thrifted coach, necklaces - talonalia

Guys, is there anything better than gross house parties in the summer? I'm talking about the sort of thing where you can't tell if what's trickling down your back is your sweat or someone else's and you can barely breathe in the house. Add cheap beer and a lot of it, shitty punk bands, and a trashy outfit and things are guaranteed to be great. This particular night I wore my hair down, which was gross because it was so hot, but also really fun. A gay guy got tangled in it and a drunk girl asked me if she could have it. I flirted shamelessly with boys and had the greatest time with my awesome friends. My friend's band, the Normies, played and then my other friends' band, Total Shit, was supposed to play, but there was a noise complaint and the cops showed up. They decided to risk the fine and play a short set anyways and it was brilliant. So much fun. Also, on our way back from the convenience store to get beer, we found a whole wall of Scott Pilgrim posters. Of course we had to take a picture. I'm not entirely sure what is going on with our faces...
