signs and wonders


shirt and clutch: vintage // dress (worn as skirt): Abercrombie & Fitch // shoes: Target // hat: White Stag // belt: unknown

Delicious: French vanilla ice cream swirled with strawberries with a dash of chocolate chips. So bad for you, so delicious. And I ate it right after taking photos of this outfit... pink + white + chocolate brown. Not even intentional. It's totally a sign that I should eat more ice cream / wear more pretties.


Exciting: I won that lovely copy of Alice In Wonderland from this giveaway — snazzy, no? I was thrilled, I literally never win stuff. You know what I've noticed? Wealthy people always win stuff in giveaways or raffles or whatever. People who actually want the stuff because they can't otherwise afford it never do. Maybe this is a sign, too... a sign that someday soon I shall be filthy rich. That would be nice.





Details:

The shirt by itself is rather baggy; my grandmother sewed it in the late 60s during that whole non-form-fitting trend. So I tied a belt around it to make it a little more interesting.


And here are my dear espadrilles from good old Target. I love them even though they're a tad big (anyone else know why I'm a size smaller in heels than other shoes?!) and was so excited to drag them out of my summertime trunk. The weather rewarded me by snowing, but it was actually sunny today (though freezing). I'm convinced that this is a sign that's saying something like "a watched kettle never boils" or, more aptly, "put away your espadrilles, I'm not done with winter yet!"

^^^ literally my favorite song ever. so weird + jazzy. ^^^
and this is totally a sign that... never mind. i won't go there.

  15. I think the reason why you are a size smaller in heels really depends on the company. I'm normally an 8, but in Nike's I'm a 9, and in Converse I'm a 7. Go figure.

  17. What a coincidence! I made a post yesterday in my blog with a photo of me duplicated. But it's not a fashion post unlike yours. Mine was about multiplicity/cloning photography.

    You look awesome in your outfit! I want a mannequin like yours.
