Dear Ralph Lauren,

Ralph Lauren plaid button up // thrifted // 3.99

who are you fooling?

hellz bellz // karmaloop // $120



no label // modcloth // $159.99


40 bucks more is pritty steep modcloth, and you cant even put a brand on that? ashamed.

velvet leaf // women's archer dress // $284

i would never EVER spend that kind of money on a dress i may wear once or maybe not at all, but i'm kind of in love with it... i guess the idea of my bow tattoo making an appearance in the circle cut out kind of excites me. Maybe what i need to start doing is stop wasting pocket change on silly thrift store items.. and save up to invest in extravagant pieces like this one.. hmm... nahhhhhh.

2 of a kind... well almost

noir ohio vintage



vintage thrift // few years ago // FREE with employee discount.

ive honestly never worn this vest before.. i grabbed it when i worked at vinthrift a few years back cuz i thought it was sorta neat looking. iv'e never liked the way i looked in it though. for some reason, i feel inspired to wear it around today with a simple tee shirt and black denims. i feel i may look like a dyke but a cute one. too bad i rarely wear dresses. it does look cute with the black one noir ohio paired it with. and i have about 4 dresses that look almost identical to it. whatever. i'll blame it on todays absurdly windy weather.

go chop some wood

flannel- target boys dept, bdg ankle grazer denims in carbon- urban, socks- nyc street corner, thrifted joan and david boots for only 4 bucks.

san fran yacht club member sweatshirt- $2.99

so i went a little overboard....

bought 5 purses at the thrift store today...











oh and this horribly tacky yet adorable cardigan



not to mention 3 simple sterling silver rings...

total spendings- $40.46.... umm yeah.

Someone told me there's a girl out there

With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair



vintage floral headpiece- $28- endless treasures antique shop.

hey ya'll

its been a while...


but im back....


in denim that is.




denim mumu, self cut for fraying- thrifted 4 bucks. not too shabby.

potential debt

So i start a new job tomorrow at Aritzia in the short hills mall... I posted an entry on my other blog a couple weeks back about how i was not going to accept Artizia's offer and stay with Urban, but after a few swaying opinions from friends i decided to say fuck it and go for it. The two things that were holding me back was the commute which is nearly an hour (with no traffic) lord only knows how long with, and the product. My style has always been more towards the quirky side. A mix of obnoxious prints and simple eclectic vintage peices found in local thrift stores. I've never spent over 50 or so dollars on an entire outfit (head to toe). Sometimes its obvious and sometimes i pull it off well. Anyways, the thought of representing labels such as See by Chloe and Marc by Marc Jacobs, quite honestly, scares the living shit out of me. I've always been fantastic at sales, and put a high end label on a piece of shit, some broad in her mid 20's with daddy's platinum american express card will be sure to purchase it with no aggravated effort from the sales person. I've met a few of my co-workers and they all look like models and have impeccable style (or whatever normal society would consider stylish). I dunno, i guess I'm just scared i may change the way i dress or some shit, maybe even starve myself on my lunch breaks so i can look like the models on the website, yah know, just so i can represent the clothing better (as if i could even afford it anyways). Beside the minor negatives, I'm super stoked, I caught wind that they will also be getting in brands such as RVCA, WESC, TNA and the new Female line for Quicksilver, which is way more up my alley anyways. Super pumped on that. After reviewing the Fall/Winter '09 Fashion look book.. there a quite a bit of outfits i'm totally in love with. Now all i need is that sugar daddy ive been longing for to purchase them for me...

Last Fashion Friday @ Urban

Friday, September 4th, was my last day working for Urban Outfitters. It was also the last Fashion Friday i will ever experience. The theme was Neen, aka myself, and this is what my co workers came up with...

Elizabeth- Deep V burnout tee, visible bandeau bra (soo me), Dark Denims, Sandals.

Simone- Beanie, Chaser AC/DC Crop top (sooo me), Grey Denims, moccasins.

Ally- Silence + Noise Jumpsuit (soo me), Colonial Madness Chain embellished heels (soo NOT me)

Chris- Beanie, Vintage Denim vest, White Vneck, Dark Denims, Vans Classics- Chris nailed it, but he also just put my exact outfit that day.

Me- I got lazy and didnt really wanna participate, so i took off my beanie shirt and vest and gave it to Chris, A put on a Silence + Noise Silk Button up Blouse and unbuttoned it to show my bra.... (VERY LIKE ME TO SHOW OFF THE GOODIES AT WORK).

Zach and Megan are not pictured since they came to work pretty much naked. I don't believe i've ever came to work naked. hmm?

OHHH URBAN HOW YOU'LL MISS ME SO.

all good things come to an end

American Apparel Sebastian Tellier tank.

this top only had 3 runs, which i guess aint bad.. but it was so damn comfortable and like an ass i zipped it up in a high waisted skirt today at work. thinking about destroying the shit out of it and putting holes everywhere.. nipple holes?

my bff looks good in everything...

Borrowed thrifted plaid western button up, Bdg Skinny's bought with my employee discount, vintage sandals

She went out in this outfit the same night i wore the romper in picture below, we looked kinda like a dyke couple until our friend kev showed up in a black and white western and dark demin skinnys. They then looked like a farm couple and i was the odd ball out.

i don't belong here

Probably not the most acceptable outfit to wear to a "bro style" bar in woodbridge, nothing but looks the entire night.

Thrifted Vintage romper, F21 leggings, Thrifted Dexter Boots, Thrifted Pierre Cardin purse

Total cost $19

comfort

alright, so this shirt wasn't handed down or thrifted, but it is honestly the most comfortable tee ive bought to date. its super thin, pretty shear and has the feel of a tee thats been washed a hundred times without the ugly pilling. On sale at Urban for $9.99- By Corpus.

You'll want to sleep in it, wake up in it, wear it out.

under my thumb

Thrifted Rolling Stones 1989 Northern American Tour Tee , Vintage Forenza leather belt, Wet Seal white skinny jeans. Anne Klein Gold lion cuff bracelet

I cut off the top of the shirt so it would fall off my shoulders, maybe i shouldn't have destroyed it considering i saw an identical shirt at a vintage shop in greenwich village going for $140. Mind you, i payed $2.99 at my local Goodwill... Absurd

a quick photoshoot

me and mel had a fashion-y photoshoot for fun with the lovely lauren kelly. i took some behind the scenes shots with my own camera. I havent even seen the actual photos yet. From what i peaked on Laurens camera, Mel looks amazing. As for my partaking... it was kind of a joke. Im not much of a model. I cant help but look a little goofy when i pose. Here's a couple shots of the shoot. All the outfits were thrifted except for the destroyed urban renewal levi's shorts in the third picture. I need a place to wear that black jumpsuit. I love it so much but it's something i cant just stroll around town in. Someone offer me up an event to wear it too.

Alright, so i caved in

Yep, I have just signed myself up to yet another blog, this time around I'm focusing on fashion. Now this will be nothing like your favorite fashion blogs such as fashion toast or dirty flaws. I'm not nearly skinny or trendy enough be blogging about some crazy looking high end runway shit that only fits emaciated looking models. Don't get me wrong, im not hating on these ladies. Im actually a daily reader, but lets be realistic here. I'm a broke college grad with barely any pocket change to spare and the little extra spending money i put towards fast food and bargain shopping. Quite frankly, i don't even truly understand the first thing about todays fashion and upcoming trends. So this blog i present to you is just a blog of my personal style and love for moth ball scented thrifted clothing i find in my local goodwill's and other secondhand stores. There will be plenty of silly outfits, perhaps some themed dress up's and hopefully plenty of DIY. This blog will absolutely NOT be updated everyday, for i also have my other blog to attend to. I'll keep you posted.
