It is summer and it is hot. Hot, I tell ya. Hot. One of the side effects typically calls for an urge to keep colors and fabrics light. Though I will say that in the lookbook of my life, leather jackets are season-less. So, go ahead, engage in a heat stroke. I'll back you up. While you wait for your brain to melt, I'll be here, standing in my living room, wearing an asshat and looking like a butthead.
blouse and skirt: Lulu's
I'm beginning to think my look truly is deer-in-headlights chic. But on an unrelated note, I'll also mention that l've been taking a deep liking to high waist poofy mini skirts. They make me feel like an underage ballerina-ninja hybrid. The ninja bit is mostly because of my affinity to violent accessories though.
shoes: Givenchy
I'm also doing the sprinkler, so you might want to hold off on the heat stroke because this is fun to watch...but on to more important things, do you have an idea, any idea at all, where this is going? Fine, I'll just tell you.
Shop Lulu's here. And, OMFG, win a $200 giftcard by following them on twitter and commenting with your handle right here down below, baby!
Winner wins Monday at noon. Twitter announcement!

ReplyDeleteAlso, I just started dating a guy and he just told me that he always wonders what I will show up wearing when we go out, he said he likes to take guesses on whether it'll be my weird (read: ankle covering sandals) shoes and as he calls it my "90210 flair".
I love the clothes I def need light colors in my wardrobe

Cool outfit all this fruit and outfit talk reminds me of Harper from waverly place who makes outfits out of foods...and markers...and everythingn really she seems like an expert man repeller she must read your blog...actually she might be threatening your position. I would say the same about gaga but she is such a slut and shows to much to be a repeller makes her almost an enemy working with the propellers...almost.
