i am too flustered to type something witty here





I have to be zippity pipsqueekity quick here and not write too much. The bloody perfectionist I am will probably type more about her day here later, because I can't stand to have a post that is hardly words (unless it's an inspiration post, I like the pictures to speak for themselves) but I am on a CLOCK HEREZ.

Basically I woke up this morning and decided to dress opposite my mood and usual disposition. It felt a little too girly in the end though, so I added my Docs.

EDIT: You knew I would write more here later, right? So my mom told me a neat-o story after seeing this outfit. She was born, grew up, and went to school in Norway, and when she was in her early twenties she made a dress that was bright pink and wore it everywhere, actually overwore it to a point where it became just rags. At that time in her neighborhood everyone was very uniform and wore all black, so she stood out like a sore thumb and became known as "the girl in the pink dress." Kind of like when Becky Bloomwood fantasizes about being "the girl in the Denny & George scarf", right? Sophie Kinsella, anyone....? Anyways, perhaps I get my love for pink and ability to block out rude stares from her.
And that was my story.

Vintage Dr. Martens. American Apparel kneesocks. Claire's belt. Everything else is some form of secondhand.

  11. Regarding your last post: Uggs are ridiculous, everyone on my campus has them, and the worst part is finding all the knock-off Uggs-wearers. I'm surprised the trend has trickled down to the middle-school crowd as well.

You don't have to it's just a suggestion.

  20. The mozart tee just ties everything together. or maybe everything pink and lacy just draws attention to the tee, but whatever, basically, i really really like the mozart tee.

  25. ooh, this is one of my favourite outfits of yours that i've seen! i love the cardigan, hairpiece and lace over the skirt. you are also genious at making a girly outfit look more edgey and less twee with some brighter colours and DMs.

    has anyone ever told you that you remind them of Eloise?
    You know the amazing series of books about the 6 year old girl who lives in tha plaza? (She was raaaaahhhhhhhther mature however , like you) I adore your floral docs almost as much as I adore my navy blue velvet ones with ribbon laces.

  33. I love the artisticness of the sixth shot!
    Great outfit - yes, it's girly, but it's not airheadedly so.
    And Becky Bloomwood is exactly whom I thought of after reading your anecdote :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Wow, I just stumbled upon your blog and it's amazing! Haha, I love your connection w/ the confessions of the shopoholic books, can't get enough of those. Have you read them all? I hope the movie lives up to the book, not that any do. Well anyways, I love your blog, keep up the great work(:

    ReplyDelete
  35. Wow, you pull off pink + lace like nobody's business! The Mozart tee is my favourite touchm though. Its great!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Girlie Dress + Doc Martens/Converse = The BEST.

  37. I love Becky Bloomwood. I can't wait for a book about Minnie Brandon. However I think the movie looks terrible. They made her American! They also combined like 3 books into one and left out all of the good parts. yuck

    ReplyDelete
  38. I totally agree. The humor is very British, you can't make her American! Also Luke in the movie looks like a pedophile, just sayin...

  39. I'm extremely wild about this color combination at the moment!

    I sot of adore this outfit and all of the photos.
    They're slightly amazing.

    ReplyDelete
  44. This is my favorite so far, which is wierd, because its SO PINK. Maybe its because you look a little out of place in it, there's this awkwardness contrasting with the wildly pretty outfit that just makes it really fresh. Anyway. You're rad. I'm totally blog-stalking you.

  45. Every single one of your looks is so amazing!
    But this is still one of my favourites !
