shirt: sorta gifted, shorts: Marshall's, purse: gifted, sunnies: H&M Men, shoes: Converse, bracelet and ring: Target

Thanks to my friend for letting me borrow his baseball tee, then never returning it :) Now, being from Seattle, I really have no affiliation with Boston. I'm not really into baseball that much either. But I can pretend. That's what clothes are for anyway, right? This outfit was a lot more casual, as I was heading out to a baseball game and it was bloody hot out. Of course the blazer came in handy later when the wind kicked up. This clutch is one of my favourites, also. Thanks to big sister for giving it to me!

A couple of my coveted items: white chucks and aviators. I honestly could put them each together with every garment I own. Something about that coolness/rebel vibe that Converse convey, and aviators for a little masculinity (spoiler: I actually got these sunnies from the guys section).

Advice on jean shorts: never wear any this short. TOO MUCH. Just avoid it, even if you have amazing legs. Even an inch longer would be better!

Rusty Casual

dress and shirt: H&M, bracelets: Target, shoes: gifted

My sister and I went to this sketchy alley by her place that she found the other day to shoot. It was actually a really rad place, and I was her first victim at this location. Really into anything contrasty. I'd be really into shooting this area with a couture dress or something. I'm a sucker for those dark images with gorgeous gowns. 

This dress is probably just supposed to be a cover-up, or a tank, even. But whatever, if you got it, flaunt it! I usually throw a pair of shorts underneath, and in this case I was wearing leather shorts (from Forever 21). 

Really into denim shirts, from now until forever. I hope this trend stays for a long time because they are SO. COMFY. and go with EVERYTHING.

Those sandals (I call them flaboots: flip flop boots) were a great find in some Californian boutique. I have never been able to track down a pair quite like them, and I will cry the day they fall apart. 

On another note... good hair day! Ecstatic. This bright ass blonde is growing on me.

Goodwill Wonderland

shirt: thrifted, shorts: Forever21, shoes: Amazon, bracelets: Target, H&M, Forever 21

This genius mix of mumu meets old granny meets cat lady meets kimono meets teen hipster of a shirt totes floats my boat (say that five times fast). It's everything a big shirt should be and everything you would expect to find at a Goodwill. $3 hollaaaa! 

Here's my Goodwill shopping secret - look for the grossest stuff. No, I don't mean dingy, I mean if you look at something and make that weird uncomfortable face... try it on. One, it's fun to take pictures and laugh at how great an old 80's kitten patterned jacket is. Two, you'd be surprised... sometimes what's on the hanger just doesn't translate to your body, right? Well, the same can be said for it being awesomely translated. It's all about how you wear it, too, in term of confidence. If you feel like it's a bag on you, and it wasn't on purpose, it's gonna look like a freggen sack'a potatoes. If you pretend you meant to wear a giant ass old weirdly leopard spotted kimono shirt, you're gonna own it. Goodwill has some good stuff sometimes. And if you like cheap stuff like me, it's a goldmine. You just have to look, and try on things you would never ever go for.

Okay well, leopard. I go for leopard. Always. I have leopard everything (except an umbrella). So maybe look for a colour, or a print, or a style, and look for that only and disregard everything else. You might surprise yourself with your finds.

I've been wanting to shoot at this wall for a while, now. I walk past it everyday on my way to school, but being that it's 5:30 am and I'm rushing to catch my bus, it just never fits in. I finally made some time, and you will definitely be seeing it again. I love anything Alice in Wonderland (especially with Depp as the mad hatter mmm). It's fun but it's got an underlying darkness and mystery to it. I'm down for any graffiti, really, too. This city is full of it. It also makes me feel like a G.

VanCity

Official Vancouver Canucks Tee, blazer: Forever 21, bra: Urban Outfitters, jeans: Wet Seal DIY, bracelets and shoes: Target

I was born in Vancouver, BC, so of course I love the Canucks. Can't wait for hockey season, this WILL be the year I go to a game without being in the middle of a riot.

I've recently been on this sports tee kick. We've sorta been having a summer in Seattle this year, and this was a good outfit for a 75 degree day. I leave at about 5:30 am for school, so I'm always shivering no matter what, but I'm sweating balls by the time I get out. Super frustrating having to carry a jacket on top of coffee on top of art boards on top of a bag. Yeesh. I'm a fan of blazers with ripped jeans, as well. I just love contrast, period. 

Side note; this bra is the best thing in the world. For the chestier ladies out there, I know how frustrating this sheer trend can be. It IS possible to still have a pretty peek-a-boo bra with big tatas. It doesn't seem like it would hold the girls, but somehow it has magic woven in the lace. Swear. And it's only 16 clams.  Definitely the best summer closet addition, and it will deeefinitely be carried over into fall.
