I preordered this handbag. Originally offered on the Anthropologie website, soon after spotted on the streets of Seattle, and located long after the fact for jacked-up prices on eBay and then on Revolve for less than Anthropologie prices.

favorites

in heavy rotation. at the moment.

faded denim cropped overalls (jordache, thrifted)
3/4 layering tees in white and yellow (j.crew and c&c california)
suede desert trek shoes (clarks originals)

short hair

i like this haircut on michelle williams.

cute little bob. flips at the end.

running

going to start running as an exercise regimen. picked up a pair of addidas running shoes, 25% off at macy's. later this week, i'll get a pair of interlock running shorts from american apparel, in grass green, and some athletic socks.

more madness

anthropologie
high-waisted denim skirt with tie ... kind of a casual french feel
canvas tulip skirt ... perfect for work, nice with my clarks
brown jersey top ... earthy

forever 21 during a speed shopping jaunt
stiff denim puffy mini ... it's gotta be a knockoff of something

urban outfitters
white tee with girl's face on it ... i got it simply for the pink in her hair
studded belt ... subtly beaded, another one that needs hole punching

anthropologie online
wide leather belt ... to cinch the waist over skirts and dresses
green striped top ... i saw this full price months ago

insomniac order

Getting to a uniform

I want to have a uniform. so that i can minimalize my closet, streamline getting ready in the morning, have everything coordinate with everything else, and reduce the number of wrong purchases i make. if i know what i really love to wear and how i love to wear it, it will also make shopping easier, and i'll feel less guilty about buying big-ticket items.
