thats a lousy life for the washed up wife of a permanently plastered, pissed up bastard

lace-shoulder dress from h&m, i want to say it was like $17.99 or something. i wear a lot of black dresses. also my hips are massive. i used to hate that, but now i don't. i don't love it, but i don't know why i'd hate something i so completely can't change, so there's that.

i'm wearing the same boots from strawberry. i love them but i'm not so sure about the quality, i'm afraid that if i wear them on a daily basis like i have been doing they'll fall apart soon.
these are the sunglasses i was talking about in my other post, didn't post a picture of them. i don't know where my brain is at sometimes. i'm obsessed with them. i have the same style in tortoise frames (these ones) and black.

fashions night out-fit

so yes, i'm cheating a bit because fashion's night out was last night, but it was fabulous. this was taken when i got back (quite late) and i was tired so i started taking off my accessories before i remembered to take a picture. and i didn't get my shoes, oops.

dress: h&m from a while ago, i think it was around $20

hair: done up in one of my two default hair styles (the other one is just loose) with 8 mini claw clips

necklace and rings: real bug jewelry from bazaar outside of central park a few weeks ago, each piece was i think around $5.

shoes: strawberry boots from last night's post.

lipstick: va va violet by revlon, $8
these are the bracelets i wore. the bug ones i'm sure will show up a lot, they are some of my favourite accessories. they cost $10 each at a place whose name escapes me in champaign, illinois. the blue rhinestone was from a street stand on 6th on the way to koreatown, and was also $10.

recoil and grace

this is the first post sooo i guess a little about me? i go to school in nyc but i'm from state college, pennsylvania which in my opinion is a little bit of a hellhole. i love new york. i'm majoring in literature and creative writing and i like clothes but i don't like fashion per se. i like nineties and sixties and eighteen hundreds, and i like to dress how i like to dress which can be trendy but doesn't have to be. i love reading, i love nabokov (my tattoo, 'i have only words to play with', is a line from lolita). so, yeah. i don't know why i'm doing this. thought it would be nice? whatever. here we go.

i just got these bracelets for five dollars, they were two each and i was going to buy two and the lady said 'three for five' and ohhkay. they're from a street market that's going on right now really close to where i live, on third street.

oof. i wasn't going to buy any until i saw this one. if anyone reads this you'll eventually discover that i am a huge fucking anglophile.
this one i like because i love new york, i love my city. sorry it's backwards i will deal with those things if i keep this bullshit up.

yeah, sorry about my face. i ran into the wall while i was taking that.

dress: h&m, last year... don't remember how much it was but they don't have it anymore.

scarf: vintage from a rag and bone sale. they're the one place i miss most about living in state college. $1

shoes: strawberry. i was surprised, i went in there not expecting to find anything i liked. they were like $40.

sunglasses: $5 two-for-one from a really great store on 6th i believe, between 11th and 12th? don't quote me on that. it's right by my school.

hairclip: h&m. $5ish for three.

i'm going to apologize straight up for some things that i do feel the need to apologize for, and state a few things that i don't feel the need to apologize for. real sorrys first:

have not showered, and laundry day, hence gross hair and hastily-assembled outfit.

now. i am six feet tall and i am not all that thin and honestly i dont have great cheekbones and whatever. but i'm happy about that. so i'm just going to talk about clothes now and... you'll get over it.
