Dull Life

Blogger deleted the post I wrote on Wednesday, so here it is again. Basically, I was experimenting with my wardrobe, because playing dress up when you are 15 is totally normal.

Quasi Japanese schoolgirl? 

Sweater: knit for me by my old babysitter

Yellow top: Marc by Marc Jacobs

Dress: Free People

Socks: H&M

Belt: Gap

Shoes: Lanvin for H&M

The silver heels on these shoes make them kind of cheesy but in a terribly good way. And the bows! They're like Prada except silky and more fun to admire.

I changed the shoes for practicality reasons. If I wore the Lanvin pumps to school, I would probably break my face by the end of the day. Dat wood nawt b cyute. 

Jeffrey Campbell

This is one of my favorite prints. It reminds me of origami paper. 

don't go unnoticed

Details count. I'm pretty obsessive about things being "perfect" so I tend to pick up on the tiniest things. For one, I am constantly tweaking the writing in my posts no matter how old they are. I also enjoy filing things and chronologically organizing documents on my computer. Here are a few pieces that are a joy to own simply because of the little details that make them special (so cheesy i know).

Patchwork somethin'. I don't know what it's going to be yet, but whatever it manifests itself as will be great.

Raw silks from Joseph Abboud (my school gets boxes of samples shipped in so I jump on dat and pick out a few I like). 

Espadrille flat by Michael Kors. I like the blanket stitching above the fiber espadrille bit.

Lace/Knit top by Free People. The top bit is sheer lace while the bottom is ruffled knit-sweater material. 

Belt by Rebecca Minkoff. This photo does properly capture the wonder of the chunky gold studs. 

Floral print fabric embossed with floral print. A double layer of flowers by Lanvin x H&M.

It's true, it's all in the details.

P.S. I haven't posted ugly shoes in months so here's a truly hideous pair for your enjoyment:

P.P.S. Happy 25th birthday, Lady Gaga!
