It doesn’t mean that I’m a prostitute, no no.
Although you’d think it from the looks I got in this. Yes, in this. It must have been the platform heels drawing attention. I think the idea that woman are catty by nature is untrue; but days like this one test my belief. I try to myself that the looks aren’t catty, other women are just checking out my outfit. So in that spirit, I made a promise to myself. When I see a woman in a great outfit, I’m going to smile at her. I’m not going to give her the once-over that makes us all uncomfortable. I’m going to try and let my admiration show through my face.
On an unrelated note, I think the hem on these jeans needs to come up about a half inch. Proportions are everything, right?

I don’t have good luck when it comes to vintage shopping. Give me a bargain store and I can sniff out a deal in under 20 minutes. But put me in a vintage store and I wander the aisles aimlessly, trying to pull inspiration and vision out of the musty polyester and scratchy wool. Which is why the SoWa market was such a godsend for me. I was really excited to visit the Haberdash’s stand, which is run by very cool Boston blogger, Punky. And damn was it worth it. Within five minutes, I found the dress. Slightly sheer, nude (well, if you’re a white chick), classy, and all around perfect. I had been searching for something just like this. I switched out the fabric belt for something a little more substantial and spent the day walking around with my head high, thinking “I’m a vintage shopper! Yay me!”
If you’re curious about vintage success #1, it’s a multi-colored sequined, knee-length dress I got from the Salvation Army in South Boston. It fits like it was made for me. It’s in such good condition I suspect it was never worn, and it only cost $8. Nothing will top that find!

I was reminded that today is the anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death. It feels appropriate to use his lyrics today then.
I had an amazing weekend with my sister. She came to visit from Philly and we had a blast walking around the city, shopping away, and laughing at Chloe kitten. Good times, man, good times.
I have a backlog of outfits that I never posted last week, so without further ado:
tank-j.crew
cords- gap
oxfords- nine west
jacket- wet seal
blazer- forever21
shirt- j.crew
