(thrifted polkadot vest and floral cami, Supre bandaid skirt, Sportsgirl sandals)

one of my thriftiest outfits ever, and didnt even realize it until i was writing out the outfit breakdown!
$10 vest
$3 cami
$10 skirt
even the sandals were a sale within a sale aquisition, double-y down to $69! i found them last thursday and couldnt really say no to that, could i? they're a really soft leather too, which is pretty impressive for Sportsgirl shoes.
The cami is a summer favorite, picked it up at the lingerie section of my local Good Sammys. little thrifting tip: lingerie sections are GOLD. there are always amazing silk slips, floral camis, and lace bodysuits to be found if you look hard enough.

(Ladakh maxi dress, Mollini heels)

i have long turned away from the maxi dress trend whilst secretly wishing i could pull them off. for some reason i just assumed the longer hem would dwarfen my not even 5" frame sum'ore. maybe its the stripes on the dress, or the fact that this one actually hangs a few inches off the ground, no hemming necessary! but dare i say im actually loving this on me?? i guess they were called MAXIe-dresses on purpose (pun intended!). hardi har har...
oh, and this was taken in the early hour of 8 am, i just caught the boyfriend before he went to catch his train for work. wasnt actually finished getting ready, the sunnies are to hide the scary sleep-deprived eyes. ran out of time to grab the silver army i so badly want to show so you'll have to stay tuned to the next one to see that.

favorite dress of the moment, and so far the only result of my christmas shopping. you can see why and how i got distracted. the color is amazing and you know how i love these tankdresses. but i mean really, even without all those, it has to be said, that the horns and studs on the shoulders had me at hello. :)

it was 37degrees today and way too hot to do anything! all i really wanted to do was go to the beach, but with everyone busy and it being too hot for long bus rides, i thought i'd scratch something of my todo list and get some christmas shopping done. big fat FAIL. i hate shopping when i'm not in the mood. i am extra indecisive and buy impulsively. spent way to much time choosing between two possibilities for a friend's birthday gift i thought the shopgirl was going to murder me. so of course i overcompensated and bought both, plus a little sum'in sum'in for myself. i hate how everytime i buy something for someone, i buy myself something as well. bad habit #67548 in dire need of breaking!
tomorrow is going to be 30-freaking-9. i miss winter already.

(topshop dress, vintage DrM's)

so its day 3 of ze tank dress + Dr Martens combo, but methinks i shall break the cycle tomorrow. after what feels likes yonks, finally had a dayoff in synch with the boyfriend so we decided to take advantage of this rarity to lug our mountanous pile of dirty laundry to leederville. well, i took advantage, he had to carry 'em all, poor thing. rediscovered some gems that have been living at the bottom of my hamper for way too long. this includes several loose flowy tops and dresses from winter that i have been missing terribly and methinks will be perfecto for my cycle-breakage.
