Listening to: I Bet That You Would Look Good On the Dance Floor, Arctic Monkeys

Bought these camel colored riding pants at H&M yesterday, for only 9€! Not bad. Bought loads of other stuff as well but mostly just comfy, cozy things for sleeping.

Today's look is kind of half equestrian, half military... with a dash of Burberry thrown in for good measure. 

Listening to: White Rabbits, Fort Nightly

I'm calling this the "Oscar Wilde," due to the old-fashioned foppy, floppy wide-brimmed top hat, ostrich feather, cameo ring, spectator shoes and somewhat nouveau print on the (Kate donated) tunic. 

The outfit does, however, lose some of its "Wildeness" (if you will) when I am not carrying an old fashioned black umbrella as a jaunty cane, as I was when walking Elmwood Avenue today.

Listening to: The Black Keys

Heading to the flower market... I know I just wore this yellow jacket and posted about it, but it's really kind of perfect for this weather, which is cloudy and cool. It's a very lightweight wool, so it keeps me warm enough, but the bright sunny color is very apropos for spring.

Yellow blazer- Thrifted

Straight legged dark denim jeans- UNIQLO

Ruffled tuxedo top- Gap

Brooklyn

Listening to: LCD Soundsystem, Drunk Girls

Bumming around Williamsburg; brown bag, navy slouchy sweater, navy blazer, navy skirt with obnoxious flower pattern, all thrifted. What you can't see is the pair of heels I was wearing that basically ruined my feet/ankles forever.

Heading into Manhattan- this is me checking my phone for directions while still in the hostel. 

Brown leather bag and gray/pink skirt, thrifted. Pink scarf from Kate P, belt forever 21.

Some dudes on the street putting up a wheatpaste mural in Manhattan invited us to a party at the ACE hotel, so we popped in to H & M and i found this numbah for $12.  Belt, thrifted. Shoes, Bakers. Yellow luggage, thrifted. Unfortunately we had to run to the bus straight form the party so we were forced to carry our bags around! 

Listening to: Wisp, NRTHNDR

 

bags are packed (as you can see) and travelin' clothes are on- it's off to Brooklyn tonight!
Bought these men's Lee jeans yesterday from the thrift store and proceeded happily to distress them.

I'm using a long ropey gold chain necklace as a bracelet. The blazer is thrifted and modified- I swapped the original buttons for genuine brass military buttons. The silk scarf is also a fun thrifted find!

Listening to: Queen

Chi-Chi's b-day party! Thrifted blazer, thrifted and altered skirt, target tee shirt (navy.)
