don't think twice, its alright.

Today, was perhaps the dreariest day yet. Maybe it was because the vast majority of my friends were all at a funeral. Time are hard, that's why we all need to stick together. My bright psychedelic skirt felt out of place amongst all the black and grey, not only the clothing but the stupid weather. I need the sun to come out and brighten our days here in BA.

listen to coltrane, derail your own train.

Au jour d'hui, I chose to sport my dad's old tee shirt from 1988. Another fabulous find from his rockstar days. I hadn't worn my fedora in a while either so it was a must. I've been trying to find things in my closet that I haven't worn in a while that can be reworked. I know a lot of people that have been doing this because times are hard and the economy is extremely depressing.

So, the snow has begun to melt, but it's still bitterly cold. Ugh.
PS: I have a show this weekend that I am totally stoked about!

tee: dad's closet

working for the weekend.

Sorry my post is a day late, but no fear! There will be two today! Yesterday all i felt like wearing was jeans and a leather jacket. I had to work right after school so i just stayed really casual and comfortable for a quick change. I felt naked without any accessories so I threw on some buddy holly glasses. I also sported my favorite black scarf for the first time in months because it's been in Jake's car for god knows how long.

Im gettin' reeeeal tired of this weather, just fyi.

skinny jeans: forever 21
black oxfords: goodwill
striped tank: salvation army
black scarf: target
black leather jacket: forever 21
glasses: urban outfitters

maybe sometimes make it easy.

Went out in the snow for photos today. Everything is beginning to melt and the sun was peeking out. Lovely. The sundress i wore today, i have decided is one of the best small investments I've ever made. I have worn this dress countless times over the last two year and in so many different ways. Truly one of my favorite pieces. It has even survived a terrible rip concerning my clumsiness and a doorknob. (Dont ask.) That was a long time ago, and my lovely mother sewed it up for me when i was reduced to a crying mess. (It was new-ish at the time.) Ha! Complete proof at how much i love clothing.
The vest was a jacket my mum bought years ago from Vanity and she never wore it because the sleeves were too puffy. Though I agreed, I always had a soft spot for it. Faux fur is my friend. So the other day i was looking for something to mess around with on my sewing machine and I asked my eight year old sister for a peek in her dress up box. The jacket was strewn amongst some princess dresses and i grabbed it up. Determined to make it wearable, I cut the sleeves off, hemmed around the edges and added a great vintage cameo brooch. The end result, I think, fabulous!
