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.

More is more

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.

Photodiary of a Playday

My friends are very indulgent. They’ve really gotten on board with the whole personal-style-blogging thing. So when they suggested that I pose in front of this crane on our way to lunch, I obliged.

We ate lunch at the very tasty Trident Cafe on Newberry Street.

Fun fact: I didn’t actually drink this milkshake, as it was not vegan. It was ordered solely because it was photogenic.  (But worry not, it was consumed by my dairy-loving comrades.)

I have a weakness for all things sparkly, tacky, and impractical.  Hence this ring. 

I just really feel like the vanity glasses make the outfit.

After lunch we went shopping (and I switched in to shoes that provided maximum comfort while I burned through my latest paycheck). Alex tricked me in to carrying everyone’s bags by encouraging me to spin with them in my hands. It totally worked. I’m a sucker for a photo-op.
