i wanna go to the movies

all i wanna do is sit a my aaaaasss









vintage shirt (the collarrrr), cashmere sweater, steve madden shoes. all thrifted.





camisole from renys, old navy skirt, steve madden shoes. 






calvin kline dress, sunglasses from some shop from when i was little, sis's black tights, converse hi-tops.













hat from the san francisco international airport, sanshee tshirt, belt from zeus's closet, sis's skirt, black tights, steve madden shoes, my great-grandma's ring, sis's shoes.



i bought the top three items on the the 12th, when my mom decided to take me to goodwill because i passed my swimming class. (also because she needed something at the hardware store in the same town, but i like to think it was because i'm a good noodle.)
what i bought, then what i wore on the 20th, 21st, and 22nd respectively.
please ignore my pudgy hands and colorly-inaccurate webcam. halfway through the day on the 22nd i had to change shoes because it was unexpectedly warm, and my feet aren't used to those steve madden's yet, so i had to borrow my sis's shoes. i had to take my tights off and it kind of messed with the feeling. sob
that brown lump on my bed from the 22nd is my cat, cassie. she kept staring at me while i was trying to take these, presumably because she wanted more pets/food.
i didn't post this sooner because 1. i procrastinate a lot and 2. irene decided to come knock out our power for a day and a half. outfits just keep piling up on me and i'm too lazy to keep up with it! expect more lazy compilation posts.

what a witch

"the stories never said why she was wicked.
it was enough to be an old woman, enough to be all alone, enough to look strange because you have no teeth. it was enough to be called a witch. if it came to that, the book never gave you the evidence of anything.
it talked about "a handsome prince"... was he really, or was it just because he was a prince that people called handsome? as for "a girl who was as beautiful as the day was long"... well, which day? in midwinter it hardly ever got light!
the stories don't want you to think, they just wanted you to believe what you were told."
























dress from goodwill, tights from limited too, mudd shoes from a vintage store, pentagram ring from my little sister and turquoise ring from my grandma, lula magazine.


this outfit is from a few weeks ago when my family went to see harry potter. (i know the quote technically has nothing to do with harry potter, but it was just too relevant to the whole witch thing not to post.) it was a while after the release date, but the theater was still packed...kind of ridiculous, but worth it. i didn't cry as much as i expected i would! which is strange because i have some intense crying genes.
the webcam cut my face out of the picture, so i can't show a before and after shot of my new haircut, but it's a somewhat drastic difference. you can kind of get an idea of how short it is by the last picture where my forehead is poking out from behind lula. (my first lula! i'm one of those bloggers now.)
also, i have to remember not to wear those shoes without socks on because they absolutely kill my heels.


quote from "the wee free men" by terry pratchett, pixie geldof at the harry potter premiere (in d&g a/w '11), gwen stefani, cat face leggings, samantha stephens, cyndi lauper, striped tights.

everything here is just a sort of summery/what reminds me of summer vibe/styles i've been trying to emulate. i threw in the 4th of july outfit because i've been meaning to post it for a month and it's somewhat related to summer.
