Inspiration with One Degree of Separation

by a stylized hysteria on June 27, 2010

I saw this outfit on the Briannelee and loved all the jewelry she piled on. I also loved her inspiration for the outfit- the glamourai, who everyone should visit for inspiration. Her ability to pair patterns and colors and layers is just far out.

So in turn, after Briannelee was inspired by the glamourai, I was inspired by her and threw on a ton of necklaces. They totally made the outfit!

Vintage Success #2

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!

And I forget just why I taste – Oh yeah, I guess it makes me smile

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:
