You and Me and the Devil Makes Three

Oh, hey, I'm not dead. Just, y'know, drowning in new clothes that I was lucky enough (stupid enough?) to buy during my vacation in San Fransisco. Most of it is black and I'm feeling a twinge of buyer's remorse towards some pieces, but, I mean, let's be real, I wouldn't be me if I didn't feel buyer's remorse (looking at you, polka dot jeans.)

And now for lookbook pictures (shout out to Shelby for helping out my idiot self with the uploading, you're a gem.)

Fatal Summer

It's summer, unfortunately. In my world it would be perpetually fall in California and I could wear fur coats and tights and layered jackets all the time. Also, in my world, I would have unlimited money, but, yanno. For now I will find ways to make summer bearable and what other way to do that than focus on clothes that I can't yet find/afford?

1. Vintage pajamas. My goal is to spend those irritating hot summer nights in silk pajama shorts and band tee-shirts with matching satin robes. Basically, I want to be Miss Hannigan. (Dripping pearls and vodka-in-a-vase included.)

2. I am currently obsessed with Shenae Grimes' blog. Specifically, her fashion blog. Just. All of it. She even quoted "hardcore MK Olsen circa 2004" as one of her style inspirations. I am Shenae. Shenae is me.

3. Mini-dresses. Is there a better, more simple thing to wear for summer? The endless choices...

 

4. Red shoes. I will have a pair of red shoes. Mark my words.

 

No Offense

The obligatory """haul""" post. These are the things that I've somehow convinced my parents to buy me over the last couple of weeks. To be fair, some of it's my sister's, however I don't see how that makes it any less mine~ Apparently I have an affliction known as seasonal delusion in which I buy things like jackets and leather (sometimes leather jackets) as we encroach upon summer. To that I say, WUTEVA, WUTEVA. And then buy more leather.

And the most controversial piece recently added to my closet...

I don't even care. Toucan print? Are you kidding me? Everything should be toucan print, ok.

shirt; Urban Outfitters

skirt; asos.com

shoes; Karmaloop

And the next must-have item on my list?

 

Even if I have to sell my kidney, this will be mine.

Jackie Burkhart

AKA me in the '70s.Or just my style inspiration after watching every episode of That '70s Show on Netflix instant in one weekend. Yeah, probably the latter.

Using the combined awesomeness of mine and Shelby's closet's... or just Shelby's closet, I worked up my own Jackie outfit which is equal parts bitchy and adorable.

If I Were An 80's Teen Movie Star

And had all of the money in the world...

Claire Standish by thestylepages featuring a crochet shawl

I would be Claire Standish.There isn't even an inspiration mood board thing going on. I mean, I just want her entire outfit. The exact same one. I wouldn't say no to a Judd Nelson either.

Delia Deetz by thestylepages featuring cotton shirts

I would also snag up Delia Deetz' wardrobe. Lydia is great, don't get me wrong. But, rewatching the movie, I realized that her mom dresses so much better. Frustrated sculptress > teen angst. Also;

THIS IS MY ART, AND IT IS DANGEROUS!

Veruca Salt by thestylepages featuring a silk ruffle blouse

So, Veruca Salt is circa 1970. I get that. But I don't care, she's fabulous. I'm not even a huge fan of anything... not black, but I guess the fact that I can't even dream of touching Givenchy, Chanel, and Jil Sander pieces makes me want to be her. FUN FACT; My dad has called me Veruca Salt since I was nine. I don't know if he knows that that's a compliment for me?

Steff by thestylepages featuring a cropped jacket

And from Pretty in Pink: Steff. Ahh, Steff. He's an elitist, misogynistic douche bag who says things like "I wouldn't be too jazzed if I were you." But homeboy can wear a white suit to high school like nobody else.
