check me out: attempting to claw my way out of a heavy funk
The questionable weather, my 2nd contraction of a flu virus within a week, overwhelming stressiness, and the fact that apparently there’s a conspiracy to turn Sacramento into a retirement town (aka shut down the only decent dance club in the city) has really gotten me down. I could barely get myself out of bed this morning. So. Just to spite the suckage, I decided to put on the most obnoxiously bright, cheerful, and totally impractical outfit I could find.
sleeveless, cropped wool sweater: thrifted, $8
high-waisted mini skirt: thrifted 75 cents
electric blue belt: thrifted, $1
f$%&ing beautifully saturated vintage silk scarf (seriously the best thing ever): traded for my thrifted 50 cent earrings with a girl at a bar
electric blue vintage pumps with buckle detail: thrifted $4
pleather bomber: Le Chateau $80
(Currently istening to: Clinic)

Boo to them closing down the one dance club in your town, rubbish! You should arrange a Fashion Blogger’s exchange and swap places in London or somewhere with another Fashion Blogger and see what outfits you can get out of your week in another fashion wonderland. LOVE your outfit.

The dress is gorgeous with the blue shoes. Bright colors always cheer me up too. Chin up–I’m certain good things are to come!

Those electric blue heels are so seriously delicious. And then I noticed the buckle detail. Sigh.

Accessoire de femme est un moyen d?être charmante…
Sans conteste le sac à main idéal doit être pratique, original, commode et tout le nécessaire doit y entrer: clefs, porte-monnaie, maquillage, papiers etc. D?habitude une sac à main est composé d?une grande poche qui peut aussi comporter……
