Baahstaan




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!

Pain is weakness leaving the body





bracelets: Target and Forever 21, shirt: gifted, skirt: Forever 21, shoes: Go Jane


Couldn't have said it better myself.
I'm kind of into the scrub tees with cool pieces (and of course a red lip). My brother was in the Marines, and I was able to cop one of his old tees. I'm not sure about the skirt with the heels, I think it's a lil' too hoochymama. But hey, this is why I'm doin' this thang. I think paired with some sneakers would have been better, or maybe some jeans. 
Regardless, I'm all about this shirt. If I could wear it every day without getting weird looks like is she homeless or was she home schooled, etc., I would. So comfy, so worn in. My favourite. 
For other looks, throw on a blazer, or maybe a military jacket and an a-line skirt, tights, boots. The possibilities are endless.
Side note: I also feel like a badass when I wear this, really ups my confidence ;)

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.
