LIFE // my closet is possessed and other tales of terror

Just kidding. There's only one tale of terror. My closet really is possessed, though.


» listen to the podcast here. «

Went shopping with my friend Sarah K today... I got a liquid-mercury man-repelling shirt, a Navajo-ish sweater that doubles as a bathrobe, somewhat-destroyed shorts, a lacy top, two kinds of nail polish (including, finally, the Sally Hansen Crackle overcoat), lipstick that smells like coconut, and liquid liner. Phew. Oh, and salad.

The lefthand me would like to attest for her lack of face. I'm just not good at faces. Or, you know, properly proportioned humans. I know my legs are not really eight times the length of my torso. It's stylized. Shh. Don't harsh on my drawing skills, I know it's an awkward sketch. Not my best. Not my best. And yeah, righthand me has her eyes half closed. Overall not my best outfit post. But... I was bored.

Also, I switched out my shoes. Because it's too much bother to relace the oxfords after every pair of jeans I try on.


shirt: my father's // leggings: LL Bean (cringeworthy, I know, but they were cheap and you can't really tell... right?) // heels: Steve Madden // boots: Payless // purse: Marc Jacobs (STILL haven't gotten over it)


sunglasses: Urban Outfitters // obnoxious kissy face: where did THAT come from?! // second piercing: look, I finally took a picture of it.


Oh yeah. Here are 5 earrings every girl should have. From left to right:
Kindergartener's Canvas: because macaroni art is so outdated.
Battleaxe: you never know when you might need to defend yourself from miniature Vikings!
Fish... Thing: will nom the eyeballs of your enemies.
Tropical Fish: it's like your ears are on vacation!
Giant Hibiscus: ^^^ditto.

xoxo.
