Okay, I swear the shirt didn't do that all day, and I couldn't see it well enough in my preview screen to know to take another one. But I do have to be careful with the poofage of this particular shirt.
Braided headband - H&M
Button down embroidered and printed shirt - Pink Ice
Braided leather belt - H&M
Dark blue jeans - Spoon Jeans
Brown ruffled flats - Aldo
I am mostly a fan of this outfit. It's comfy. The shoes are adorable (I picked them up in a massive Boxing Day sale while I was visiting my grandparents). The pants I would love more if they were about an inch or two longer, but are pretty awesome in general. I like a wider cut on my jeans, and I had to get rid of my old trouser cut jeans as they had a hole wearing through the butt. They were superior to these, but I'll find another pair I love as much eventually. And the shirt. Ahhh, the shirt. I found it while on a shopping trip with one of my dear Oberlin friends in Santa Monica. I've had it almost as long as I've been living in LA- it was one of my first clothing purchases here. I love the embroidery, and it looks pretty smart with a blazer. Not that I have many blazers... I should consider picking one up. Maybe funky-ing it up a little, since honestly, no one wears blazers seriously in my line of work. Find some patches or something. Or break down and teach myself how to embroider. I've got some serious embroidery I'm going to have to do on one of my upcoming costume projects, so maybe I'll dig into it this way.
Ahh, costuming. It has been far too long. My last completed project was Giselle for New York Comic Con in October. And granted, I wore myself out finishing it (about two weeks total for the entire costume, and I hand-painted the floral pattern on the fabric), but it has been too long. I yearn to sew again. Maybe I should put this yearning towards, you know, real clothes I can wear every day... but costumes are so much more fun. :)
