back to the old-school wardrobe_remix shots in the hallway outside my apartment! off to go to the post office, and go thrift shopping. found a few gems (including an awesome knitting book of british sweater designs from 1982!).

! i got a LOT of looks from people concerning this outfit. very amusing! i feel really confident in it, though.

-tiny acid wash levi's jacket: thrifted in florida. i probably wear this a little TOO often, but it's my signature piece at the moment. -tunic length tanktop: american apparel -acid wash skirt: beacon's closet. someone hacked it off with scissors. i like it like that so it's staying that way. -white rhinestone and studded leather 80s belt: thrifted in florida -chartreuse green button grandma earrings: urban outfitters years and years ago -patchwork-look needlepoint tote: thrifted in florida -white peeptoe flats with green and red trim and a rainbow ribbon across the top: killah, found for £10 at a miss sixty sample sale off brick lane, london, last summer.

waiting at my subway stop with pete, getting ready to head into the city for paella and sangria with my good friends linda, and aaron.

-bright orange vintage mexican embroidered dress that i shortened and restyled: from the flea market @ the corner of ave. A and 11th street, manhattan, only $10! -gold stretchy belt: thrifted in florida -gold peeptoe wedges: bruno magli -patchwork-look needlepoint bag: thrifted in florida -giant brown sunglasses: beacon's closet -gold bangle: thrifted in florida -red opaque plastic grandma earrings: thrifted in florida -gold elgin watch: inherited by pete from his grandfather -gold necklace with crystal heart: given to me by a work friend over 10 years ago. one of his family friends was ill and in a nursing home and had very little family, and he inherited her jewelry. he let me paw through her collection when i was young and very poor and let me take anything i wanted, knowing how much i loved vintage jewelry. he knew i would love and appreciate her things. it was very touching of him to let me do that.
