beetlejuce beetlejuice beetlejuice!

Thrifted silk blouse, Charlotte Russe herringbone shorts, thrifted bag, vintage 70's sunglasses, and Restricted Footwear wedges.

I'm wearing my silk blouse that's affectionately named "my Beetlejuice shirt." The movie is awesome, but as a kid I preferred the cartoon. I thought it was hilarious. He also may be the reason for my obsession with black and white vertical stripes.

This was also the first time I wore my kooky lady 70's sunglasses in public. I don't care if they look like novelty sunglasses I bought when I was 16 to scare people from the car - they're awesome...well to me anyway. I'm on a lonely boat all by myself sometimes; I like weird stuff.

Anyway, have a wondrous weekend! Don't forget to tell your mom you love her! Mine is the best, she takes a lot of these photos for me. She also will listen to me talk endlessly about unimportant things. What's better than that?

short skirt and a long jacket

Missoni for Target poncho, Kohl's faux leather shorts, Target tee, and Miss Trish for Target lizard sandals.

I wore this outfit for a picnic in the park on Sunday. After my meal was consumed, I spent the remainder of my time running around like a goofy idiot. My boyfriend snapped some photos of those goofy antics, maybe I'll post them so you can see that I'm really crazy. Hey, it made the kids laugh and a baby cry...I'm truly frightening.

I picked up these shorts a couple of weeks ago for 5 bucks. Already, I want to wear them everyday. Every time I put them on my boyfriend says something like, "Oh, those..."

Boys hate them, most girls around here hate them, I love them.

I'm running so late, so I'm going to bid you adieu for now. I'm always freaking late.

the little city

Vintage Versace jeans, American Apparel leotard, gifted scarf, thrifted bag, and Betsey Johnson platforms.

Spending Saturday afternoon walking around my little city was very entertaining. I love the old Chevrolet building that's now a coffee shop, I love that all trees that line the streets are blooming, and the old churches where weddings were taking place.

I tried to dress according to the temperature, but was unprepared for the very gusty wind. My hair became a mess of tangles in seconds. I forgot that part about long hair. It's funny how when you desire something you lost, you always forget the negative aspects of what it was to have it. That's the relationship I'm currently having with my hair. I think I'll keep it just because it took so long to get here.

I love these Versace jeans, and as you can see my love for "mom jeans" transcends from Levi's to other fabrics. I found this amazing treasure at Salvation Army, they were two bucks and I prayed they would fit. They did. It's not everyday you find Versace at a thrift store, especially where I live.

It's quite rainy and gloomy here. I hope you're having sunshine where ever you are!

the hardest button to button

thrifted blouse, Charlotte Russe jeans, thrifted vintage bag, vintage necklace, Rue 21 bracelet, and Betsey Johnson platforms.

Like I said in my previous post, throwing on a button up blouse is the easiest way to lose the blues. Well, pairing one with my favorite jeans makes my dilemmas vanish instantly. By dilemmas, I mean the age old question of "what a heck do I wear today? I have nothing."

Speaking of my favorite jeans, they have taken a long hiatus from this blog. For some reason, I put them on the very bottom of my huge pile of pants. I thought they were too small for me now, which is delusional of me, but hey a girl has her moments. Last week I pulled them out from the bottom, and started our happy relationship once again.

I pulled this particular blouse out of a rack of a thousand while thrifting a few weeks ago. As soon as I looked it over, I realized I had no linen button ups and this one would be perfect. It ended up being $2, quite the steal even though it has no label. That's something I never really cared about. Except, when it comes to my shoes!

you can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness

Thrifted silk blouse, years old Max Rave skirt, random socks, vintage bag, sunglasses, and bracelet, and Chanel flats.

Whenever I'm depressed with my wardrobe and frustrated with everything I try on, I turn to button up blouses. They are the easiest thing to throw on when in a bind. The combinations are seemingly endless. I chose to wear my mustard silk blouse with one of my favorite skirts. I can't stop wearing it, even though we're six years into our relationship. I don't foresee us breaking up anytime soon. The pleats are just too divine.

My boyfriend and I were exploring the technology park near our apartment on Sunday. The normally hustling, bustling place was totally abandoned, so we snapped these photos. It was almost haunting to see the giant buildings and parking lots totally empty and silent. Everything was so still, except for the fighting geese and a lawnmower humming in the distance. It struck me so much, and it's really hard to explain why.

It sounds so silly when I type it out, but I am silly so that's nothing new.
