Making up for Lost time

Accumulated outfits in chronological order.  Yes, I am trying to be succinct.  No, I do not sound like a rude robot.

 jacket- thrifted; shirt- H&M; pants- UO/Free Market; boots- flea market; skull bracelet- street fair; flower bracelet- "antique" shop

In case you were wondering: yes, "being more organized/clean" is one of my 2012 resolutions. I think I was inspired by the whole "male rebel with feminine, bubble-gum poppy detail" vibe emulated in that editorial I posted up.  Too bad you can't see my shoes. They're simply fabulous! Maybe another time darling.
P.S. There is a huge chunk of mess that isn't mine.  We had guests over. So...ha?

dress- thrifted/farmer's market "garage sale"; skirt- homemade/mom-made; jacket- thrifted; tights- H&M; shoes- flea market;  skull bracelet- street fair; flower bracelet and wizard necklace- "antique" shop; scarf- China

Things I remember from that day: a girl told me I looked like I came out an issue of Fruits while I was waiting for a meeting with my advisor, my advisor did not help me at all with my next semester schedule, and I pet a corgi.  Wait...maybe the corgi-petting was the second meeting.  Hmm...anyway check out the shoes? 

dress- thrifted; shirt- thrifted/gap; black shirt- China; shoes- Converse; necklace- childhood/scholastic;  skull bracelet- street fair; flower bracelet- "antique" shop

One thing I wanted to do with this was mix girly and tomboy (hence the converse and plaid shirt). I added the sleeveless, sheer black shirt to add some shape/ subtract some frumpiness from the dress but that didn't really work out as well. I found the necklace over October break.  In elementary school, they were selling this as a package with this book about a girl who studies dolphins.  I bought the package because I wanted the necklace, thus starting a short-lived obsession with dolphins.  Hooray for materialistic whims!

P.S. Did you notice that my black ankle boots and that floral jacket are in every single fucking outfit so far.  And those goddamn bracelets.  Yeah, I don't overuse over-love jewelry/accessories/articles of clothing.  At all. 

sweater- gap; skirt- thrifted; shoes- flea market; ring- flea market; skull necklace- new age and wiccan place/ the dreaming goddess; necklace- street fair;  skull bracelet- street fair; flower bracelet- "antique" shop

Again, organization meet resolution.  I got really excited about this sweater because it reminded me of my book of vintage Fruits snaps.  Thus it's my Fruits-circa-1990s sweater.  Also, this skirt, when worn right, makes me feel like a pretty fairy. 

Wow that's a lot of visual input.  I should try doing less of these recaps and actually post outfits on time.  Yeah. That sounds like a good plan.  Why didn't I think of that sooner?

Your bathroom has candy dispensers? And strangely muscular robotic horse men?

This week I've been on October break, which, when event-less, creates laziness and lethargy. Broken macbook screens create tedious technical difficulties.  Thus, here is a short review of this week's more notable outfits:

bolero- thrifted; dress- lord and taylor; boots- tj maxx; sunglasses- mom's old; necklaces- nearby antique store, found, street fair; bracelet- college "flea market"; backpack- gift

I wore this last Tuesday when I visited my high school (aren't I sweet?).  This is probably the first time I wore it and I was very excited about it.  It's (kinda) like stain glass windows; I felt like a walking cathedral (that saint bracelet was appropriate wasn't it?).  This lady, who I used to hate/feud with, welcomed me and complimented me on my jacket.  I'm feeling uncomfortably ambivalent about this because, even though I was glad someone appreciated the jacket, it was a compliment from an old nemesis.  It felt awkward and surreal.

 tank top- urban outfitters; shirt- thrifted; jeans- Matthew Williamson for H&M; ankle boots- H&M; necklace- dreaming goddess/store near campus, found in house; bracelets- flea market, souvenir shop

After watching Pretty in Pink for the very first time, which I had mixed reviews for, I was trying to channel Duckie.  Is it just me or does the Duck Man creates such perfect harmony between awkwardly/expertly juxtaposed prints, blazers, bolo ties, and costume store glasses?

all from Pretty in Pink

And I guess Andie is cool too. But I digress:

Sorry. Is too much of my teenage bedroom showing? Even though it's organized by my mom (she doesn't seem to understand the concept of not touching my shit) everything is very personal.  Too bad that I have to leave all these items here; my college dorm is way too crowded already. Anyway:

skirt- thrifted; sweater- target; tights- gifted/ anthropologie; clogs- steve madden/ loehmann's; hat- thrifted

This outfit shall be dubbed the awkward-library-outfit because I obviously wore this awkwardly while going on a trip to the library ha ha.  Except I didn't originally wear the hat (my hair was too oily to be be shown) and I originally wore punkrose, star print canvas sneakers.  I like mixing girly things (i.e. this skirt) with tomboyish things (i.e. sneakers)...I should do that more often.  Anyway, I wore this because I wanted to actually use the skirt since I took the effort of bringing it home.  Note the transition from bedroom to garage like a scene change from really bad horror movie or something.  Also note that I tried to do the same pose and how that makes it worse

Instead of blogging and watching vintage cartoons (i.e She-Ra and Bravestarr)  (the animation and concepts are really hilarious to me)(I mean, when He-man transforms, his shirt and tights disappear! And She-Ra's unicorn has a demonic voice!)(Did that robotic horse randomly become a robotic horse-man?), I should sleep. Yeah, I should really go to sleep.

what did you say boy? Sleep? Pfft Sleep is for the weak!
