15_DASH

[wearing]
boy's blazer: thrifted
stripes: gift (exactly)
that lace skirt: target
belt: a high school hold out (similar)
sweater tights: target
boots: forever21 (exactly)

[going]
to read a ridiculous amount about middle-class culture in kathmandu because i left the last seven chapters of the book until the day before the class, a meeting with my thesis advisors, and then i'll probably still be reading tonight. 

and yeah, this is a post-valentine's anti-saturation outfit.

  14. I seem to keep pushing off my school readings as well. Good luck on them. Sometimes text books just aren't the same kind of reading. I like the combination of the blazer with the lace skirt. All of the colors really match well and bring together the whole ensemble. Adorable!

  17. I've been trolling the boy's rack at the local thrift store (kinda feeling like a creepo) in search of a blazer just like yours. Thus far the hunt has been fruitless and frustrating. But your outfit has renewed my vigor. I will succeed - once the shopping ban ends, of course! Thank you for the inspiration!!!!

  19. i use adobe indesign cs4 to layout and downsize my photos for web use, but i feel like there have to be more user-friendly ways of creating crop circles (intentional pun). i did a quick googling, but can't find anything that's internet-based.

    hmmm.

  20. nice to meet you, fellow neutrals-lover!

  21. I believe myself to be legitimately in love with this outfit. You've really rocked out that skirt in a way that I haven't seen anyone else wear it, and that's pretty amazing, given how many people (moi included) have some version of it. I love the desaturated color palate and the striped sleeves emerging from the blazer. AND I love that you saved 7 chapters of reading for so long. You're a girl after my own heart. And on that note, I'm off to read Cixous...

  24. I love bright colors and never really rock neutrals, but you always make it look easy! I love this outfit especially that lace skirt! I should have bought it from Target..smh!
