DAZED & DAISIES

wearing: Zara "I love nice people who make cool things" t-shirt, thrifted daisy printed pants, Silent & Noise oversized sleeveless blazer, black velvet flatforms, oversized Ecote sherpa tote {here}

I'm pretty sure my grandma has the same pair of shapeless trousers, elastic band and all, that I picked up at a thrift shop for $1. I shop so differently than how I thrift; I can spend hours flip-flopping between buy and not buy, all over something that's less than $10. Why? Beats me. But, in the end it was like but shit, it was 99 cents! And then I was all like saving my money, damn I'm hella happy, that's a bargin bitch! I guess Thrift Shop rings true, Macklemore and I have a lot more in common than I thought. But, you know, grandma's style not granddad's...okay, usually not granddad's.

ONE HUNDREDTH

 wearing: H&M black overalls, Modcloth black crop top, black cropped moto jacket via Nasty Gal, velvet flatforms via Free People, gifted Ecote red clutch, H&M black ankle socks

And so we hit 100. I started this blog nineteen months ago on July 15, 2011 and never did I really think I had the patience, time or, to be honest, clothing to last me this long. But I'm glad I did and I can't wait to see how this blog, and my style, continues to change and grow. It's always fun to compare my latest posts with my oldest posts, all whilst laughing a little and cringing a lot. What does the next 100 post have in stores? Who knows! Let's just wait and see, shall we? :)

As always, a big fat thank you to all of the amazing supporters I have, you are the loves of my life! 

P.S. to everyone who hates on overalls, all I can say is, "haters gonnnn' hate." If they're so wrong than I don't want to be right, ever!

MY PAL MICKEY

wearing: Junk Food Mickey Mouse tank top, red polka dotted dress, thrifted denim jacket, Dolce Vita boots {Modcloth}, H&M ankle socks, Modcloth yellow polka dotted headband, thrifted vintage Coach satchel

This has become somewhat of a uniform for me nowadays. I love the androgyny of the Dolce Vita boots that adds a little feminine masculinity to everything and the boxiness of the denim jacket that is just too easy to toss on. A little sugary, a little sweet, I couldn't resist adding the cute yellow polka dotted headband to go with the red polka dotted dress. And, last but certainly not least, who doesn't love a good ol' Mickey tank? He's such a little cutie. Makes you want to run away to Disneyland doesn't it? Come spring break and that's exactly what I plan to do! A couple days in LA, with the sun, Goofy (my favorite) and ze best friend seems like the perfect way to lay low and play. No wet t-shirt contests and keg stands for this gal...for now anyways.

AUTUMN LEAVES

wearing: All Saints tank top via Crossroads, Brandy Melville Hailey Jacket, Lunar Blue necklace c/o JewelMint, Bullhead acid washed skinny jeans c/o PacSun, gifted red Ecote crossbody, brown boots via Taiwan

It's easy to see happiness as a destination to arrive at, as something that we aspire to get to. But maybe it's simpler than that, perhaps it's subtly weaved into our day-to-day lives. It could be that burst of laughter, a quiet walk alone, a comforting hug, or anything else that puts you at peace. Being the neurotic over-thinker that I know I am, anything that can quiet my mind and make me feel at ease, even for a second, is something that I hold on to. Maybe instead of a destination, it's a bunch of the little things that make up happiness. Maybe, just maybe, happiness is within reach.
