You always had the blondest hair

UGH I'm kind of realizing how crappy my blog is right now. I'm not seeking sympathy, seriously I feel like I've not been getting any good material for you guys lately! I guess it mostly has to do with my real-life style slump that I'm going through, with I'm praying will pass in due time. So yeah, just saying I'm fully aware of my current suckiness!
I've got a few iPhone outfit pictures from the last few weeks, it's just way easier to take a few quick mirror snaps than to set up my tripod and make sure my room is clean enough to take pictures in (the real challenge). I think I'd like to start taking daily outfit pictures, even the ones that are less than exciting, just because I think it's way interesting to get a sense of what a person wears from day-to-day rather than just what they get dressed up in to post about... if you get what I mean.
Here's another outfit with my new favourite jeans I've already posted about: the crazy long flares! I still love them so much, and I just really liked how they looked with this t-shirt that I cut the sleeves off of. Speaking of this t-shirt, I bought it at an Alexisonfire concert in high school and wore it the other day as a mini-tribute to the band which officially disbanded recently. It's really sad but I guess all good things come to an end, and I've still got some good mosh pit memories from all their amazing shows (seen them about 4 times, I think?).

Jeans from Topshop, concert tee, thrifted bag, and Aldo chunky sandals

And can we talk about this bag?? I thrifted it a few weeks ago for like 4 dollars and I love it. Weirdly I find it goes with just about everything, and it's the perfect size to fit everything in yet not to big for it to get all jumbled up with stuff. Such a good find.

This outfit is what I wore to go to the 18th birthday party of some girl I don't know. My friend and I were out of town visiting her brother who had this party to go to, and rather than just sit around at his place we tagged along. Scouring my closet for a dress for this thing was not as easy as I thought, I HAVE NO "NICE CLOTHES"!! Good excuse to go party dress shopping, I think...

Thrifted grey lace dress, blazer from idk, random jewelry and clutch.

Now I wore this outfit today, but warning I'm not wearing makeup in these pictures! Scary. Dress I thrifted the other day, pretty cute in a high school kid from 1992 kind of way. But what I love about this outfit are my Vivienne Westwood x Melissa rocking horse shoes! I bought them months ago but I don't think I've blogged about them yet. They're the ones with the wings attached to the ankles, but I took them off because I wore them with jeans the day before and I don't think the wings look good with pants. Anyways, love these shoes and even though they're a strictly summer kind of shoe I'll probably try to get away with wearing them in the fall with socks. Rubber and woolly socks. I love it.

And before I forget, my current nails are a set of falsies in robin's egg blue (in my signature oval shape).

That's all for now, but I PROMISE this blog-slowness won't last forever. Bear with me, it's summer after all!

Oh girrrl, summer does that. I had a HUGE dead period where I hated clothes and blogs that lasted for 3 weeks and I think I did like 2 or 3 posts during that time? Luckily, inspiration always seems to find its way back again. :)

Renee Revolution said...

I will forever be in love with your hair. And that gray lacy dress is amazing!

I hope your slump ends soon; there is nothing worse than lacking inspiration!

Yay! You're back! Sad I didn't get to wear that grey dress on Thursday. I'll have to borrow it again some time when I have an excuse to dress up a li'l!

Not much of a style slump going on from where I'm standing :)

I LOVE the shiny platform sandals.

Magnet said...

Oh, don't worry my style goes down hill in summer too. I mean, how much can you wear when you feel like it's so hot that not even being naked would cool you down? I really like the grey thrifted dress.

Michele said...

Lovely. You look like a 70's babe in the first pics. And I looove your nails, the shape is awesome.

Rose-et-Violet said...

Your blog is not crappy! Don't worry, I slack over the summer too...but awesome nails and cool new hair.
I love every outfit in this post, and gotta agree with the 70's thing that Michele ^^ said!

Take your time with blogging! Don't feel too obligated to churn out posts. I loved this one tho. A bunch of outfits + nails + update on your life.

I didn't know Alexisonfire disbanded! I was never really into their music, and I don't like the lead singer's voice... That's why i wasn't into City and Colour either (that's his other band.. right? i'm not too sure, too lazy to google as well :S). Most of my friends rly like Alexisonfire tho... I'm the outcast hahah.

That's an amazing find! (once again!) Only 4 bux wow!

Love,
mimi
