ducks on your sweater

I really just enjoy having wildlife on my clothing. In general. These mallards though are freaking fantastic. Add in the purple hair and a deep green velvet bow with some super wide-leg jeans and its this classy/electic look for fall/winter. The full purple is slowly fading out and I am kind of sad! But I need to re-join the world of human hair color for a bit.

alternative animal print

Animal prints are one of those things that are constantly in and out of trend reports. I am a huge fan of all animal prints all the time regardless of what TREND says. So here is my alternative animal print, actual animals! Its like a zoo exploded on my shirt (and I'm going with SANCTUARY actually since I am not a fan of the zoo). So I say screw the trend reports. Wear your animal prints loud and proud like that lion on your threads. Rock it!
Are you a trend person? I really am not. I like to look at trends to get ideas and inspiration for dressing myself and things to hunt for while vintage picking. That is the extent.

hot remix. day one-hundred-fifty

Some pieces of clothes you wear once and your like I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN I WILL WEAR THIS AGAIN. This t-shirt was one of them. I figured it would moonlight as a pj shirt until festival season and then come out and get altered somehow but it feels just right to wear it in the dead of winter. When its cold cold cold! I styled this totally different from THE LAST TIME I WORE IT. But you should check it out cause it was pretty hot too. 

Still sick but with much more energy, trying to enjoy my last day off before I start my new job tomorrow!

babysitting. day one-hundred-twenty-two.

This is one of those outfit days where I look at the pictures and I am like YUP THESE SUCK. And I don't really want to post them. I am not like other fashion bloggers who carefully select outfits for all posts (although I do at times for events/trips etc.) but some days i just get dressed. This day I happened to be sitting on babies. Yup you heard it. sit. on. babies. Step 1) take baby and 2) sit on  it. Naw not really but I do watch some pretty cool kids. I snapped these shots at about 6:30 in the morning (it was much darker than the photos make it seem cause i lightened them up) but seriously I look like poo (no shower + no makeup) and really didn't care! So here you have it a basic simple outfit where I don't really like myself :) this happens and that's OK but I am gonna share with you anyway. Cause someday's are just like that for all of us and this is a blog about those kinda days as well! And also no extra photos cause I was lazy.
