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.

& lack there of

I feel like it's so easy to feel lost in this day and age of technology. The internet is such a big massive strange world. But it's funny how blogging can sometimes make you feel as though you are part of something. I know I don't have a million viewers or readers but it means the world to me for those who do follow my blog and my fashion journey. (Thanks!)

Recently I haven't really felt inspired. I've been in and out for last couple of days which is very frustrating. I am becoming lazy and letting the cold fall consume me instead of using it to my advantage.

I've always said October is a magical month for me. It's my birthday and always been good to me. I also think October has the most beautiful skies. So I am going to go for a walk, taking my camera and my notebook. Hopefully that will bring up my spirits and get my creative juices flowing.

Maybe tomorrow I'll even go on a little trip...

  

This goofy little black cardigan with a built in scarf is my mother's. I've been shopping her closet because she has great style and I get my sewing genes from her.

Today has been home, cafe, library, running, cafe, home again. And leaving once more to host a show tonight.

Been busy researching. There some dope shit in the works right now with my life. Don't want to jinx it but I am really excited to share. (soon.)

I feel like I am 6 years again when I wear overalls. But that's the point isn't it? I pair it with this great floral top I found at deseret industries ages ago. I like the 90's vibe. Throw in my converse to tie it all together.

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.

For those who follow my twitter or instagram you know that I dyed my hair, yet again. I am no longer a  brunette, a red head, or even a grape head. I am rocking green locks. It's kind of wild.

Yesterday after some much needed thrifting (pictures below) my friend j.mean went back to my house where we did karaoke (thanks to youtube videos) then I cleaned my room and she watched a movie.

      

Now, while cleaning my room I found a jar of hair dye and thought "Why not?" The color was blue but because of my natural highlights came out green.

 

Of course I was shocked at first (price you pay for dying your hair at home) but after seeing all the great green tones that have been walking the runway at New York fashion week; I am ready for fall. And over some time I am in love with it!
