(shawl: Vintage, shirt: T by Alexander Wang. biker short and tights: American Apparel. random bracelets and rings.)

i received this shawl from my grandmother and she got it back in the 70s on one of her trips to mexico. and i've been eyeing that shawl sense i was 7 and finally one day i asked if i could have it and she gave it to me. and i was elated to find out it wasnt going to be extremely hot so i put this look together before school and walked out the door. of course i got strange looks but i didn't care. i was in love with everything i had on. Alexander Wang is one of my favorite designers and to have something on that my grandma has had for 40 years it feels great to wear it with confidence.

(sweater and plaid shirt: Vintage.)

idk. this was just a fun outfit to wear. it was basically a "put on whatever clean day." these were the only things that went in the dry cleaners or in the laundry hamper that i wanted to work with at least. and i felt kinda scottish in the sweater and plaid. i dont know why but i did. these were the same day. the turban thing was a random thing i did because i was going on my 14th hour of badu. and it gets cold at night so i brought a sweater and i forgot i had this plaid shirt in my backpack and my legs were getting cold so i put it around my waste and walah ! and the glasses were just with me too. i've been obsessed with my bracelets i never take them off.

HOWDY ! BEEN A LONG TIME.
sorry ! oh my god, i've been so busy with the end of the school year here and running. having to do make up work and all that jazz. but im back !

i recently wore this outfit to school and i felt very american in this outfit. sometimes when i wear leggings or black i feel european. but i wore seersucker shorts and in my mind seersucker is VERY american. i think of it as a texan pattern somehow. i wore a 50/50 purple american apparel shirt with it and i thought the khaki in the short was let out by the color of the short because i love khaki and purple together for some reason. anyway, the blazer was very last minute. i needed something for when i went to the movies to see Sex and the City 2. i felt very Brad Goreski in this outfit when i usually feel like Taylor Jacobson. anyway, i wore my new TOMS shoes my mother got me from Nieman Marcus and i fucking love them. i promise ill never go M.I.A. again.

i love Kate Lanphear and i felt like a little Lanpear prodigy in this outfit. i wore doc. martens as well. i really do this it sucks that my shots never include my shoes. grr. im gonna find a new way to take picture so that my shoes are in the shot. however, i have good news !

i've been accepted into FIDM's 3 days of fashion in june. i had a meeting with the recruiter women recently in Virginia and she let me know right then and there that i was in. the recruiter was really interested in who i look up to, and who my fav. designers are and where i shopped. and of course i told her the fav. and i happened to be wearing marc jacobs that day so she was extra excited. I'm usually really awkward with interviews but this one fault natural and everything just flowed and im very excited into exploring LA by myself for 3 days !

let me know your thoughts on my outfits by commenting !

i would wear Alexander Wang everyday of my life if my funds allowed it. 

it was a nice spring day, so im glad i was like super hot wearing the blazer. people in LA wear blazers all year round and im really not sure how they do it. i cannot wear a blazer in 80 degree weather. this is my Alexander wang on a budget type of look. the blazer and the leggings remind me of Fall 2009. and who doesnt love a nice white tank. im so sorry no one ever gets to see my shoes. im planning a special post about my shoes.

yes, im a smoker. after teachers getting on you, and being an object of getting unwanted attention at school, theres nothing more than calms me down more than a Parliament light. you dont know how many MC Hammer impression i had to see today. it was ridiculous. also, i felt very Chloe Sevigny with this outfit on. i dont know know why. also the color of my shirt was kind of Proenza-y. no ? im stretching it. anyway. leave your thoughts down in the comment section.

I had to quickly get out the house because my mom was rushing me to go somewhere. i would have pulled an MK (tights, plaid shirt, and doc. martens) but i had no idea wear we were going. so i just opted for something regular. and was on my way.

it's not a mystery i love Alexander Wang. i have 2 t-shirts from his menswear t-line and its only going to grow. I wear these rings everyday. i don't have that much to share about this look. i dont care if harem pants aren't "in style" anymore. i love them and they're extremely comfortable so im going to continue to wear them till my heart feels like giving them up. and sorry i look dumb again.

(shirt: vintage Nautica. assorted rings: Vintage, UO, and TopMan. jeans: Abercrombie & Fitch. belt: i dont know. change purse: Louis Vuitton. necklace: Indian Reservation. )

i was extremely inspired to do a denim on denim look by the Alexa Chung spread in Vogue UK anyway,  back when i dressed a like a prep i only wore abercrombie and now i have all these abercrombie clothes so i decided why not wear some jeans by them and roll them up with an brown oxford shoe (not pictured) i was also inspired by Elvis. also, i got this LV purse thing for christmas and i just love it it fits all my many cards, money, and some rings in there.
