my heart's a tart, your body's rent

dress - charlotte russe, on sale for probably around $10. it came as a set (the opaque one and the lace one) and was sewn together at the shoulder straps but i did some minor plastic surgery so i could wear them separately... and took off the tag, because whoever decided it was ok to put clothing tags on sheer items is a total asshole.

also i realize visible bra straps are totally gauche and whatnot, i fixed them with a paperclip (yeah yeah ghetto) before i went out.
i didn't really know my elbow could bend like that.
necklace: $5 from a street vendor.
i was wondering if we could just bring back the nineties? that wonderful gothy dark heroin-chic (and no, i am not thin enough to effectively pull off heroin-chic but the sentiment is there).

who needs love when there's law and order? and who needs love when there's southern comfort? and who needs love at all?

dress: j.crew brand but bought at a thrift store in a $5 bag sale. i had A LOT of items in that bag so this dress probably ended up being like $.50. not bad.

necklaces: "i <3 my cat" from metro boutique in state college PA, $18. time turner necklace around $9 from borders.

tights: i have literally no idea where these came from. i found them in my drawer today and thought i'd wear them. my tights usually cost from $8-$10 though.

it might destroy me, but i'd sacrifice my body if it meant i'd get the jack part out.

it is so rare that i wear long sleeves, especially with a neckline like this, but it's cold as balls out and i didn't feel like matching tights to anything today.
