Hey Zeus

This is pretty. I can't remember this outfit at all. sorry. I guess I was trying to find a way to wear that white shirt, which has immense hanger appeal, but isn't so flattering on. My mom got it for me. I swear, most of my ingenuity comes from trying to make things my mom got for me work in my regular wardrobe without looking like somebody else. 

Bleh. Welcome to post college life I suppose. I had decided last semester that I was going to spend the summer at home getting grounded and finding myself and then at the end of summer I would strike out on my own. After three months here I'm finding it hard to leave. 

I find when I'm comfortable, I hardly do anything to change it (now I know why everyone likes being a fucking republican). However, my summer of bliss has to come to an end because I don't want to be that average sod that lives at home working menial jobs until she marries and moves out has kids....etc bla bla bla. 

Mostly, because it is still illegal for me to marry in this state I call home. fuck marry, let alone find a partner. okay, not illegal to find a someone, but fucking hard.

Sad that I have to leave this place to find a future. Not just in love, but in a career, in life ambitions and ideals. Nothing moves around here. You love it, you live it. 

Yet, making a move scares me. duh. what am i going to do? literally.

I need to grow some balls. and smile.

heyzeus kreestoh.

Bbbbb...Bad!

 

I originally wore this outfit on a class field trip to NYC for a gallery/photography escapade with my photography class. Of course, I wore it with the boots then and of course no street style photographers took my picture for their blog (damn you tommy ton). 

I found this oh so lovely shirt in the freakin free box! It was FREEEeeee! for realz. like, who would get rid of that, right?! Naturally I had to cut it up. And wear bright pink pants so that the outfit shows no semblence of cohesion or unified style. but whatevs, I obvi thought I was hot shit. 

And still am. 

that style... but it drives you insane

 

So, this outfit drove me insane for a few months because I got the pieces in December and then had to wait for warmer weather to come around.The skirt is American Apparel, obvi on sale b/c no one really wants to wear that color. Well, it's popular in pants, but I don't think it's catching onto other garments. Anywho, it's different and I like that. 

I got the tank at Gabes, duh. Gabes has a way of carrying lots of questionable clothing. I think the word "ratchet" comes to mind to describe it best. The kind of clothing that takes advantage of the cut-out and sheer trends, but not in a classy lux kinda way, if you get my drift here. I came across this tank and thought, ew, chinzy lace. Then I was like, wtf, circus yellow stripes?! And then I was like

HELL YEAH

and bought it, even though errbody be judgin.

I just had a feeling it would come in handy for some out landish hipster outfit, the ones that throw together odd and kinda ugly clothing together, hoping their swagger will pull it together. People who think street style is anyone who looks strange really like that thing. 

I was actually going to cut the lace out of the back and make it backless, but my lack of sewing skills and my fam discouraged me from doing that. I hate the lace hangin at the bottom, hence my choice of high-waisted things to wear with this tank.

Can you believe I've had those sandals since soph year of high school? Like, seven years ago??

I can be more than a dream...

 

Hehe, heyllo. I was going into Philly for First Friday and I so do love dressing up for First Friday because, why not? It's the time when normal people leave the financial district and enjoy the "artsy" scene. I will gladly fill the artsy weirdo role that people expect to find there. In this case it is the sexed up grunge artsy weirdo. I just always have those fishnets in my closet just begging to be worn. I wondered, why not  with black sheer tights? why not indeed!

The tank is part of the Prabal Gurung collection with Target and it was like, waaaay too big and baggy and didn't fit right and what. the. hell is that color?! so not me. my mom got it for me (she said I needed to be more colorful and not wear black all the time). Whatever, baggy is in right? and grunge is all about wearing ugly clothes...duh.

The black shorts were originally my dip bleached jean shorts that I just got sick of wishing were black. so I dyed them black. so far so good.

This song is sex to the ears.

I'll go away... and then come back

Heh, from that title, I should have posted this before I went MIA. Sorry, academics and then moving back home has put this blog on a hiatus. What I remember from this post was that I took these pics during a bit of a rough patch in my social life and was having difficulty posting them without wanting to rant or something. But now... I'm over it. she's still a bitch. So, what I remember was that I wanted to look hella good and off beat, so duh, a white shirt with a white jacket. hey, you don't expect it now do ya, especially with the ubiquitous jean jacket around to steal the show. Who said that jean jacket had to be bluuuueee huh? yeah, that's what I thought. I think my inspiro for this outfit was an outfit for the nastygal vintage site with different colors and I just loved the subtle layering of  proportions and dimensions and other bullshit. blehh. it looks cool.

Starting to make jewelry

I started making metal jewelry a week ago. I like my "game if thrones / rick ross" necklace. What do you think? Too subtle not edgy enough or just plain boring? I think it's girl power. I da boss.

If you came to my site from a porn site...

sorry, you must be awfully disappointed : P

Go ahead, feed me diamonds

Ah! I'm so adorable! Adorably strange looking!

Wow, I love combining things in really unexpected ways. Really, a lace shirt over a print? Who'd have thunk? I got the belt off my mom, turns out she had good taste in belts in the 80s! I wasn't sure about the shoes, but they didn't look bad.
That's it, I felt cute and pretty!
check out this fabulous and dazzling song!

porn star pants

Ah, look at that nice sheen! These pants are so cool. Shiny mustard corduroy pants, you just can't get any better than that! They were flares, so I had to sew up the bottoms to make them skinny legged. I kinda could only think of wearing black with them, but I feel like that's all I wear sometimes: all black with some kind of color thrown in. So, I had to mix it up, I think I also had hickies to cover up, tee hee.

I love me, I love my blog. No apologies.

Go on, use it against me, make fun of me for it, use it as an excuse for your hating me. I'm aware, I just don't care give a shit (couldn't be rhyming on this super serious blog).

teams with smell spirit

I just went to a 90s party last night which was fun and made me feel like I was 5 again. So then I went and listened to Taylor Swift's 22 to make me feel my age again. right. 

Anyway, I feel like on a small level this outfit is reminiscent of the 90s. Sheer top over just a bra with a dark vest over top. Thrifted pants turned into shorts and ripped sheer tights. I'd tell you the names of the brands, but since I bought all of this in either a thrift store or Gabes, it doesn't really matter anyway. I just love grunge.

smell your teen spirit, except I can't b/c I'm old

I don't really want to be the queen

simple, cool, chill

Implementing this season's spring trend of the revolutionary combination of black and white because I actually really do like that this spring's fashions were not all florals and pastels which I don't particularly like to wear. I like contrasts, I like bold. Oddly, I do not like color-block.

Diva is a female version of a hustlah

Man, don't I think I look good? 

haha. I noticed this semester I have been trying to find new ways to wear old clothes. You see, I don't have a whole lot of time to shop and I certainly don't have a whole lot of dough to be spending on clothes. This makes things hard and a little less exciting. However, it does mean I'm pushing the boundaries for what I had originally thought my clothes could do for me and the way I had originally envisioned them to be styled. I have worn button downs with this skirt before and liked the results so I thought I'd try it again with this season's ubiquitous denim shirt. 

The pictures just remind me of how not entirely flattering this skirt is on me. whatevs. diva gotta wear what the diva already has.

for the real world

I was not happy with this prepster combination. Basically I wore the shirt with the pants and then got cold so I had to put on a sweater that matched. Ick. However uncool I think this outfit is, there are others who think this is quite great. It is practical. It is classy. It is just barely not non conformist. An outfit for the real world. Since this real world will be sneaking up on me in a few months, maybe it is time I started dressing the way I'll have to once I enter it.



Nah.

Or just wear everything I love to wear in abundance and not give a damn.

this marks the end of 2012

I wore this dress to a holiday party last December, sorry for being so late with everything! More to come I swear! Wouldn't this be great for St. Patrick's Day???? yessshhhh

We go up and down

So this is where I admit to wearing suspenders to actually hold my pants up. Ha, and you thought they were for some sort of statement.

This is Sirah, she got me through a tough semester, listen to her.

Cancer sucks

I designed this logo on my shirt for a fundraiser here at school. We wore the shirts around as advertising for the event and of course I never turn down a challenge. Boy, this was a challenge! I like what I did though. For the tights I layered sheer black tights over my smurf tights.

Wrote in Blood

Grunge! Love it!

Woops, tried to get rid of the webcam shots, but some just looked too good! Sorry!

Gosh this skirt is so short! I wish I had some cooler looking boots to complete this. The walking boots just kinda drag it all down. However, I absolutely love how the top is HUGE! 

Dark, gloomy, sensual

I walked into the room dripping...in gold

Wow, I wore this on my birthday last year! Ha! I'm so sorry for never posting in a few months, but now I hope to be back and blogging a bit. I'm feeling wholly unmotivated to dress nicely at all. The weather is just such crap that I rather lie in my dorm room, which feels like a sauna, with no clothes on than put on all the layer and venture outside. Plus, skirts and tights right now with it being in the 20s (F)?! Are you kidding me?! Haha, for all the Northerners laughing at me, I'm going to move south when I graduate and laugh at all you pretending not to be shivering your ass off while I slink about in barely there outfits in the tropical weather.
