WANNABE TREE CLIMBER

(H&M T-Shirt and Blazer, American Eagle Jeans, Sam Edelman Flats, DIY Necklace, Usual Bracelets and Rings)

I think maybe I was/am a freak of nature. Reason being that I was never really into climbing trees when I was little. I was definitely more of a swinger and a runner and jumper. Not a tree climber. Maybe it was the heights, or maybe it was the fact that I never have been (or will be able to) lift my self nimbly up trees. So here I sit, underneath a tree, as opposed to in one. But if I were to maybe try to climb a tree, I would do it in these jeans, since they are my absolute favorites. 

SOME DAYS IT'S FUN TO

Some days it's fun to tame my hair with a scarf which doubles as a headband. Some days it's fun to look like an indie music loving teenager. Some days it's fun to be an indie music loving teenager. And some days it's a lot of fun to clonk around the city in some clonking shoes. Some days it's just fun to change it up.

Chicago is brightening up, which means my house is overheating and I have to listen to my friend complain about her heat rash for hours on end. Luckily for me, it just means more time spent outside in short sleeves and sunnies. Believe me, I am not a summer person. I would much rather spend all day outside in the snow than slather on an inordinate amount of sunscreen to brave the light of day. This weather has been due for a while, though, and I'm definitely ready to break out my sandals again.

SPRING!

Look! No tights! Sunlight has found its way back to Chicago, which means we can all finally come out of hibernation and get on with our lives. Maybe we'll finally bring out some bright colors instead of these morose hues of black and blue. Spring break couldn't have come at a better time.
Sorry for no post yesterday; Liv and I are both sick. :(

CHANDELIER

I like sparkly things, much like a small child. My friends like to believe I simply like the stares from everyone on the El. They would be mistaken. I prefer to look like a glowing 20's flapper girl because stealing my mother's vintage shirts makes her irritated, naturally. And the icing on the cake is going sleeveless in February, but, no worries, the white attracts the sun.

WHY I NEED A REAL COLLARED SHIRT

(Aqua Shirt, Gap Vest, H&M Shorts, Hue Tights, Aldo Booties, Forever 21 Necklace, Vintage watch and ring)

I drew a little inspiration from Liv's post for this look, however, in my mind, it included a crisp, white collared shirt. This shirt is a liar. It has an awkward slit on one side and is so flimsy that I usually just wear it to the beach as a cover-up. Not the best to wear in the winter. The next time I go shopping, I'm coming back with a Brooks Brothers shirt in every color. Hey, a girl can dream, right?

HOLEY MOLY

 (Urban Outfitters Tee, J Brand Jeans, Aldo Boots, Vintage Earrings, Bracelet from p45)

These jeans are the only semi-expensive ones I own, and on the first day that I got them both knees ripped wide open. Last time I spend that much on jeans. But, these somehow still manage to look great, and I've been on the search for something grungy to pair with them for awhile. And, as luck would have it, I came across this pre-destroyed and faded tee and threw both pieces together. Yeah, it may look as though I just survived a battle, but you should see the other guy!
