when feeling (pretty) lame

I pretty sure almost everyone I know has one of those days (or even months) where they feel as though they are doing nothing with their lives. Which is a pretty ridiculous thought because being alive is actually doing something. But you get what I am saying.

When I start to feel that way or begin to get too hard on myself about things; I remember how much writing helps. Cheesy, but true! It doesn't matter whether it's blogging, working on a poem, writing down a funny conversation I over heard or making silly lists. Once I do it I feel much better.

 

Try it out. See if it helps.

Just a random share. But better yet onto the fashion!

 

Ever since I dyed my hair green I see it everywhere! And ain't mad about it. Green hair taking over things. Clearly.

*Had to pull out my gold shoes. Hadn't wore them in awhile. Oh how I missed them. Also this jacket makes me channel Penny Lame from "Almost Famous" but subtract being a band-aid.

Gold Shoes (Nordstrom Rack) x J. Brand Jeans (hand-me-down from my sister)

Shirt (Salvation Army - cut the neck) $3.50 x Jacket (pop up shop) $20.00

Necklace (goodwill) $1.00

just a fill in

Working on another list of fall essentials for 2013. Until then there's this post.

 

Wore this on Football Sunday. My boyfriend has realized or taken upon himself to think I dyed my hair in honor of the Seahawks. Sure... Let's go with that.

On the other hand; Seattle has been experiencing some late summer thunder storms. Layering up!

Leggings (Target) $8.00 x Jacket (Love City Love -Pop Up Shop) $20.00

Earrings (Sally's Beauty Supply)

pop up shop!

Over the weekend I was able to check out a really unique and fun pop up shop that was put together by a bunch of people in Seattle. My friend Paulina put me on and I was able to shop her closet as well as a bunch of other extremely well dressed individuals.

I went with J. mean and the boyfriend. We all left very happen, slightly me more than them because I went in! I mean most of the people selling their stuff are people who's style I've admire from a far, so yes, I was geeky out slightly.

The talented photographer and homie Avi caught all the best action over on his blog. But these are just a few snaps I was able to get.

I hope they are able to do it again or something like it! Got some great items that I know I'll be posting soon. Here's a little example from UrbanExchange's instagram:
