A Vacant Town

Thrifted button up top, Kimchi Blue lace skirt, Kimchi Blue lace up boots, my dad's socks, gifted vintage spoon ring
Even though I go through slumps just like everyone else, I'm really loving all the pieces in my wardrobe now. I feel like it's becoming more adhesive and everything fits me well (physically and emotionally). Take these boots, for example. I really love these guys. The idea of boots, especially laceups, is more rugged and adventurous, and I definitely could do some major adventuring in them. But they're a solid black, and super light weight, so they're easy to wear and seem pretty classic. Basically, they've got the feminine/vintage/edgy mix down.
It's just really nice to have a closet full of things that work together rather than random or unreasonably eclectic items. You know what I mean?

Cat Person

Cat print skirt made by me, Forever 21 shirt, vintage belt, Kimchi Blue boots, Hue gray socks, vintage watch, pictures thanks to Avery

I waited very patiently for the first day of fall to wear this skirt. I don't really know why, but I did. It seems fall-y to me. Anyways, I absolutely love it. "Are those cats on your skirt?" "YES." I'm so proud. I think this is probably one of the best skirts I've made quality-wise as well. I just want to wear it all the time forever. It's my favorite, I think.
I was debating my shoe choice this morning, but I'm glad I settled on these lace ups. They were just right. I also went with dark gray socks that match the gray cats on the skirt. However, I couldn't find the belt I originally had in mind. It's missing! It'll turn up eventually, I suppose. For now, I'm off to cuddle with my cat...

Somewhere down the road someday

Bob Dylan t-shirt from the concert last summer, H&M dress as skirt, vintage belt, vintage granny boots, navy socksLet's just take a minute to appreciate my amazing t-shirt tucking skills. This is no skirt, it's a dress, which means I folded up my men's large Bob Dylan shirt and tucked it inside of itself and into this belt. I've gotta earn some points for that because it was impressive. (I thought so at least.) My calculus teacher told me I looked really cute, too. As for me, I was pretty pleased with this outfit. I liked it when I was wearing it yesterday, and I still like it now. Even though it doesn't have any black in it, I like it! That's saying something right there. I'd go on, but I've got some Music Theory to do. I'll leave you with a group shot of the girls who took pictures with me yesterday.

Un coup du vent, une petite brise

Skirt made by me, Silence + Noise slip, Wal-mart top, vintage belt, MIA Girl boots
I wore my new heels yesterday! They are amazing! Super cute and quite comfortable actually. I can't wait to wear them all fall and winter. Ignore the bug bite, it happens. I couldn't wait until it was officially fall to wear them, so I paired them with this sheer floral skirt for a nice transitional look. You can see in the second to last picture how sheer it is, but don't worry, there's a slip on underneath.
Right now, I'm obsessed with Castledoor, purples and bare legs. I'll let you know what I'm digging next week!

Chalked

Met up with Avery on Saturday night for a rooftop photoshoot, which quickly ran out of light.




Nollie v-neck, J.Crew skirt, vintage belt, Kimchi Blue metallic oxfords, alligator ring from a boutique in Muscle Shoals, gifted thumb ring from Cairo

After our photoshoot, we went down to see all the chalk drawings - there was some sort of chalk event downtown this weekend. There was a film festival too, but we only made a quick stop there, even though going to that was our original intention.

We ran into some friends, and one of them had this little guy, a baby flying squirrel named Captain Chaos. Absolutely adorable!
