i like to be gone most of the time

What I wore today, just around the house since we had no school. The day was spent drinking hot chocolate and looking at my book of Woody Guthrie's sketches. OH, and freaking out about THURSDAY because I'm going to H&M!! Last night I magically gained Nick Naylor powers and gave a whole pitch to my parents about why I should go. I'll be going from H&M straight to school to take a social studies test. Sigh, I knew pure bliss could only last so long before I am forced into the gates of hell...well, I guess pure bliss is a bit of a stretch. Try getting into fist fights with other die hard Rei stalkers? I CUD BE SMALL, BUT I CAN TEAR UR EYEBALLS OUT OV THEIR SOCKETS, FELLOW LABEL WHOREZ.
top, mom's. cape, friend wanted to get rid of it. lace dress and scarf, vintage. black skirt (underneath), family dress up box. tights, american apparel.
I took my lace dress, rolled it up as a skirt, and tied the excess lace in a bow with a green scarf thang. A family friend found the dress in like his cousin's dad's roommate's boss's long lost brother whom he met through the bondage of a family medallion's dog's rabies's car and decided to give it to me "because I know you love fashion so much!" My parents' friends knowing about ze blog is awkward, but it DOES have it's benefits...

P.S. OH, FLICKR. U MAK ME LAFF SO HARD. U SLY KAT U.

  3. Thanks guys!
    Stylish Wanderer- Me neither xD It took a lot of convincing. The fact that I have not paid more than 8 dollars for anything in my closet helps, too.

  15. You're going to H&M! Yay! Can't wait to see what you get!

    I love the pictures and the outfit. I wish I had a skirt/dress like that. And the cape is just awesome. It doesn't even look that costume-y, which is quite an accomplishment.

  26. Ooooh, that lace skirt/dress thang is amazing and looks superduperfantastic on you. Good luck at H&M, and remember that violence kills. I know you're a juvy and probably wouldn't get punished too hard, but just in case, ya know?

  27. Totally random but I subscribe to a canadian Mag called FASHION and they mention you ...in an article called Fashion Bytes---they say you are "fashion savvy beyond your years and speculate as to whether it is a 12 year old who writes this blog"..."you have earned a cult of readers" ...I would scan it for you but I actually dont have a scanner :s.....
