dear i fear we're facing a problem ...

(thrifted lace cropped T and knit vest, American Apparel bodysuit, Valleygirl skinnies, skull scarf, Mollini booties, Sportsgirl beret, Luella sunnies)

i got these jeans for $20 last year, and then bought a pair exactly the same by Bettina Liano for $220. i didnt know why i did that at the time, thought it was just one of those stupid impulse buys that i tried so hard to justify in my head, but now i know. it was so that i could go crazy at the cheap pair with a stanley knife without having to worry about ruining a perfectly good pair of jeans. this gave me the ability to shred confidently and without care. the result? well, i think the picture speaks for itself. they're not perfect, but im pretty in love with them.

and while we're on the subject of jeans...Valleygirl. you can shun the clothes, but dont overlook the jeans, especially the skinnies. perfectly tight. amazingly stretchy. flattering. and not too long for us short people. and for only $20. i shit you not.

sorry for the lack of outfit posts. my computer is very very sick so uploading is such an effort. the screen is also very very dull, so i don't see the colors on my blog in the way that you guys see it. =( it's a terminal illness, so methinks its about time for an upgrade. so many people are tech-savvy, and i am not one of them. i dont enjoy going into dick smith or harvey norman and looking at all the cool computers and laptops. i dont even need a cool computer or laptop. just something i can download, store, upload, and blog on would be fine. this is one shopping trip i am really not looking forward to.
