Mon Jun 30th - Oh my!

I can't believe it's already the end of June. It just felt like yesterday when I first moved out of San Diego. It also kind of freaks me out how much closer to midsummer we are, but that does mean I'm closer to my Manhattan trip. I went last year and this year, I'm skipping out on all the touristy stuff and hoping to go all around Manhattan in search for good deals.

But for now, I'm just hanging out at home. It's good to be lazy.

I had found these suspenders in my garage during a clean out. No one really knew where they came from, and they were awfully beat up, but I kept them anyways. I couldn't resist!! To be honest, I think they were little boy suspenders, because of the small size. Could've been my brother's pair back when he was young?

Sat Jun 28th - Lightspeeeeed Champion!!!

If you had caught me mentioning this in my previous few posts, I did indeed see Lightspeed Champion in concert for my birthday! Now, who is Lightspeed Champion? He is Dev, the previous drummer for the UK band Test Icicles. (Although Test Icicles were loud, screamy, and crazyfun, Dev is more mellow, my heart is broken, and swayingfun.)

I purchased this rather overpriced tee from his merch stand. I love the crazy childish doodles and plaid prints and I couldn't wait to wear it! Fast forward to today, where I finally decided to dress it up in a denim vest (thrifted for only .95 cents!!) and a little bandage skirt.

Although by far my favourite part of the outfit would be the shoes. Michael Kors shoes at Ross! I didn't think it was possible. Now, they were more pricey than their other regular shoes, but at a keen $23 I couldn't refuse. I had not been inside a Ross before that moment in months, and now I'm back often to scour the shoe racks for more rare treats!

Fri Jun 27th - Whoa, it's been a while!

I haven't posted an outfit in a while! I guess that defeats the purpose of the "daily outfit", no? It's not that I haven't been going out, I guess it's more along the lines of it being difficult to get a photo everyday. I think I'm going to try to stay more up to date with it, especially since I got a few new itmes since I got back from San Diego.

I definitely have to learn how to hem up dresses though. I tend to have dresses and skirts that are much too long and need hemming. I tried to look it up on wikihow, although I'm skeptical on whether or not I could actually pull it off. But I'll get it done....eventually.




There was also some odd invasion of peculiar insects. They were an extreme bright green color and extremely tiny. Very odd.

Ebay Update

I just added in some new things to ebay. It's all stuff that I've found through my many excursions last week. Enjoy!

Songspirations - Nico's "These Days"

The previous meme really inspired me to figure out outfits based on songs. It's not exactly the most original idea, but I really liked playing around with the idea.

Currently this week, aside from the 7 I listed, I've been playing Nico's cover of "These Days" as of late, from The Royal Tenenbaums soundtrack. The song itself can be found here...

THESE DAYS

Whenever I hear it, I think of this beautiful setting where Nico's hauntingly romantic voice drifts over an empty grassy field. It's dark, it's mellow, but it's still got this flair of a brooding damsel. Which brings me to ideas for two outfits, both relatively monotoned and a little dismal, but still very romantic with frills and lace being the main focus.



Charm bracelets, bows, flowers, lace, it all comes together into two looks of subtle excess. Hope you all are inspired!
