all day you say.

A day of strange weather but good news.

For example - my favorite play/musical is coming to Seattle: Passing Strange. I am a nerd of musicals but Passing Strange more than a musical. It's so epic!

 

Excuse my nerd moment on to the fashion. Just purchased this Adidas crop top. Got it for full price $32 but I haven't been doing any wild shopping (besides shoes... but those don't count!) so I wanted to treat myself.

  

Not to mention - I got a new job! Hey Oh!

My friend MJ does this awesome nail event at her job called #TopCoat (check out the hashtag on instagram) She did my nails on Friday night so they look pretty good for surviving a weekend with me.

 

And yes that is a #selfie necklace.

Last night was a moment I've been waiting since high school - The Veronica Mars Movie! You have no idea how obsessed I was with this show in high school. Veronica is a modern day Nancy Drew who hella sass. How could I not love it?

Either way - saw it last night. God! I hope there is a 2nd one. And yes. I made posters.

My shirt is a DIY. I bought this awesome fabric awhile back (working on a dress) but for the time being I just cut a patched and sewed it to a tee shirt. Simple.

I love this fabric because it reminds me of the Prada 2014 Spring Collection. Meaning I made a cheap fashionable up bet. Go figure!

 

I usually don't care about my socks, meaning they never really match. However lately I've been using them to my fashion advantage. My boyfriend got me there great leopard print stance socks. Can't help but rock them with pride.

being that morning

  

I don't mind sleeping over at my boyfriend's house; it's just the waking up and dealing with the real world in the morning that I hate. But I guess I hate that no matter where I wake up. Haha!

Well, either way, the secret for those who find these selves waking up in a bed that isn't yours is to be ready. To be well prepared. It's the reason I have such a huge purse. It carries everything I ever would want or need. (Tooth brush, cap stick, rings, necklace, leggings, underwear, etc.)

Ladies (or gentlemen) don't apologie for your big purse or bag. Just quote the one and only basket-case from The Breakfast Club when asked why you have so much stuff in your bag: "Because you don't know when you gotta jam."

  

Not to mention, I didn't get any sleep last night. I was up all night from a terrible cough. But like I've always said "Look better than how you feel."

those pants say something

Awhile back when I was on tour with Mary Lambert we had a show in New York. I have a strange love/hate relationship with New York. It steals all my friends, can be a very lonely place, and is so expensive. However New York is THE best place to shop.

Of course the best place to shop is UNIQLO. It's like a better GAP, Banana Republic, and American Apparel all rolled up in one. This where I got these great pants. Although on the more expensive side of things, I love Uniqlo and there items last forever.

Necklace (Target) $5.00 x Shirt (hand-me-down from my mama)

that won item

I cleaned out of closet (for those who didn't read my last post) and I feel like a weight has been lifted. It's crazy that way. In light of doing this I made a pack with myself not to buy any new clothes until the new year. Well, I of course had to do one more purchase.

 

I was in Forever 21, window shopping pre-say, when I found myself in the men's section where I found these camouflage pants. Why not? They fit like an ideal skinny boyfriend jean (duh! They are men's pants) and I have been looking for a great army print jeans. So there.

  

NOW! Let's see if I can last until the new year without buying any new clothes. If you want, try the challenge out with me.

boom.

It's soup weather! Went out yesterday and got a bomb bowl of ramen. T'was my highlight.

**Guttersnipe Tip: As you know I am all about taking shortcuts when it comes to fashion (buy bracelets and make them into hoop earrings, turning old cardigans into new ones, etc.) here's another cheap trick!

 

Turn leg warmers into knee high socks! It's simple really. All I did to make sure they looked like knee high socks was to wear boots and them tuck them into my socks regular socks. And then there you have it!

As Cher from Clueless would say "Pretty groovy huh?"

It's funny when you buy new clothes and you just abandoned the rest of your closet. Wearing yet again a Phillip Lim piece. But I mean how could I wear it?
