Lost Season?




Due to the "awesome" (me being sarcastic) weather I am able to wear leather during the so-called summer months! This was the leather skirt i've been searching for and of course found on my "lucky day" when least expected...and cost a whole $8 ..Its a tight fit but not plastered to my body..or else I would have left it on the racks for some other chica to pick up ;). P.s my order came in the mail today from AA and I have finally gotten my acid wash deep V, tri blend deep V and tricot black leggings...I like them for school (which will be starting a little too soon :s). AND im currently DIYing a pair of thrifted goodwill jeans with bleach to try and create my own acid wash look (we'll see how that goes). If there is no post including this "work of art" you will know it was because I was just too embarassed about the results! Hopefully it'll turn out the way I picture it, if not, its $3 down the drain..cheaper than the price of a vanilla latte at Starbucks and thus not a huge loss...xo

Shirt: Old navy tank
Skirt: Thrifted leather skirt
Shoes: Aldo "Stripper" shoes - they are really high!!
Bag: B Makowsky
Sunnies: F21

hello!! just a passing by your blog.. you are doing a great job and your fashion sense is quite superb!

thats high waisted leather skirt is awesome! my mother has an old one but it looks terrible on me.. you really can pull that off quite effortlessly.

i was wondering what size do wear in american apparel t shirts? i'm about the same size as you and i was going to order some basic tees.. but i'm not sure about the size. i want obviously want to achieve a lose effortless fit.

I'm always so impressed by how you find the greatest looking pieces for such good prices. The fit makes it look tres expensive (versus trashy)- you look gawgeous!

Hey Anonymous: in response to your question...In the Tshirts I wear a size xxs in the deep V and they are still loose on me (im 5'5 and 105 llbs just to give you an idea about my size and how it might fit) however I just got my tri-bled deep V in an xxs and I wish I went a size up--I would recommend xs or even small for it to fit looser on you in this material. p.s. Thanks for the link... =)

You look SO good, my goodness! The bag and shoes are divine, and you are totally rocking that skirt! Good luck with acid-washing...I'm doing something somewhat similar right now with denim and we'll see how it goes for both of us, compare results maybe :)
I think it's awesome that you always comment first by the way!

Love the look, especially the $8 skirt! Thanks for checking out my blog - the secret to getting a real Hermes bag is to have a sugardaddy. Unfortunately it's hard to find one you'd actually want ;-)

hey you... looking super hot.I really adore the simplicity of your outfit.I am a little unsure about wearing leather, even leather jackets, but it looks wonderful on you.And it's impressive how you tend to find wonderful pieces at mind blowing prices... ooh, yea and good luck with the jeans :)
P.S.I've been obsessively shopping for school for like the last month...I can't believe that it starts in like two weeks :(
