Offed

I've been living in this gorgeous snood scarf that i was offered from the hooks and halos etsy shop this winter .
So much so , that i am dreading parting with it once the weather warms up here.
It doesn't look like it's happening anytime soon; there's more time to wear my scarf. You have to looks at the bright side to everything. I asked for the "williamsburg " scarf because i spent so much time there i just thought it was funny but maybe i'm being a dork. She customizes each orde,r so i chose the color as well.
I found this gorgeous yellow bag at my favorite salvation army. I was with my room mate/ best friend/ ex blogger partner and we were commiserating about how broke we are and how our lives suck . I think those are my favorite times. When I'm faking like my life sucks while simultaneously having the best time with a good friend. It must be true that friends and the people you love are what matter most in life.

On a less sillier note, i've grown fantastically sick of my wardrobe lately. I haven't felt like that in quite a while . When every piece looks boring used and completely unstylish. I keep grabbing up the same three shirts and the same three pants. But i have plans to get new stuff soon . i want to try a really outlandish type of dressing but with some restraint. I don't want to look like a clown . I want different color cat-eye glasses for spring and long skirts with printed tops . I'm not yet sure what style of shoe i'll be wearing but will post up candidates on the blog.

By the way, for those across the ocean interested in one of hooks and halos shops, she ships internationally.

Equal But Different

wearing h&M dress and AA backseam tights (jeffrey campbell shoes not pictured here)

In my last post i mentioned dressing for a boyfriend. So i wanted to show you guys the product of such musings. This was my Valentine's day outfit . Short dress with heart print and cleavage baring.

It was kind of fun pretending to be a bombshell, however it's not something i want to do everyday.
I had to buy these tights on my way out of work because i felt they just completed my look .
I had a great time that night just staying in and playing the new plants vs zombies for ps3.

I tell my guy that he better kiss these legs goodbye for a while because i'm going full into the long skirt trend for this spring and summer. I also went thrift shopping for bright bold printed tops to pair with my long skirts. I'm started to feel that excitement about dressing again ! God knows it has long alluded me .

When I Surface

thrifted faux fur vest ,floral shirt, puffy vest, sweater and boots. tote bag, shorts, socks and tights are american apparel

This is my dork look, i adore my tote bag and all it's trippy images and colors and my 90's style sweater. It might be 80s but by now we all know i'm clueless about those things. Since the weather has been frequently frigid i have my "go to" fur vest worn always over my puffy vest, which isn't as fashionable but keeps me quite warm. I also layer my tights.

My boyfriend absolutely hates this sweater, i love it . the girls i work with have mentioned they like it too and i got the ok from my former blogger mate and best friend (now room mate) whose opinion matters most to me. She might be the only person whose opinion i would give consideration.
Are other bloggers the same ? Are you completely into what you wear without need for others input .
I do feel like if i listened to everything , or even half, of what my other friends, sisters and boyfriend said i wouldn't own most of what's in my wardrobe.
I always dress for myself before anyone else; I dress for girls before guys but i'm planning on taking my bf's opinion into consideration this valentine's day. He's requested something tight and sexy with cleavage on full display. it might be fun dressing in a way i'm not used to.
He said "whatever you do leave the sweater at home. "
I love this song right now:
