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.
