I want to ride my bicycle

13 Jul

Technically, it’s Shirley’s bike. But still.

I felt really silly when taking this picture because my friend Alex told me to stick my chest out, but it paid off. Arch your backs, everyone. It makes a world of difference.

I’m wearing a pair of vanity glasses from Urban Outfitters, a thrifted silk top,and polka dot shorts and a camera necklace from Forever 21. I think it’s the bike that makes the outfit, though. What is about bikes that makes them seem so youthful and carefree? Perhaps it’s my flagrant disregard for safety as I refuse to don a helmet lest it mess up my hair.

Lacy late nights

8 Jul

Sometimes (okay, a lot of times) I wear ridiculous things. The particular evening I wore this outfit was no exception. I wore two black lace dresses (you know, for modesty) over my underwear. And a mask I bought in Venice as a headband. Because I’m classy and well-traveled.

Shirley wore a denim jacket that may or may not be mine, amazeballs boots, and killer lipstick. She looks like a sexy Clarissa from Clarissa Explains It All. I dig it. She blogs about music at AD NAHSEAM. She has great taste (obvs, she’s friends with me). Check her out.

More is more

4 Jul

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I have a bit of a thing for accessories. Especially sparkly ones. I think that brooches are a highly underrated piece of  jewelry. They’re like earrings for your clothes. Buy them. Wear them. Enjoy them. Trust me, they’re a game-changer.

I pinned a selection of brooches to my extremely versatile denim jacket. That I wear a lot. Maybe too much? But it goes with everything! I think it’s okay.

I also wore my layered tulle skirt from H&M, a thrifted belt, and Alex’s shoes.

There’s nothing in that cup.

Charming Bloggers

1 Jul

A couple of Saturdays ago I got together with some of the lovely ladies from the DFW Blogger Network. We went shopping at Charming Charlie’s. It’s a magical land filled with rainbows and sparkles and unicorns. OK, not unicorns. But there were tons and tons of rhinestones, which is almost as good.

I wore a hot pink leopard print bra, a black sequined miniskirt, leopard booties, and feather earrings. In one ear. I didn’t buy that headband. I regret it.

This is Elissa of Dress with Courage. I don’t know how we let her walk out of there without that hat. Adorbs.

Julie of rosy+tart and her new camera, Lola. In Julie’s words, “She’s a bit of a showgirl.” So are you, Julie, so are you.

Pretty. Purple.
