And how are you?
Thrift thrift thrift thrift
Put those fangs away. Thrift thrift thrift.
It's not like I'm gonna go up there and be like "IAN! GIMME A HUG!"
Um, long time no post? Long story. In short, I was house hopping and staying with different friends and didn't have internet access. Basically, my week consisted of watching Korean soap operas, killing -2 people on Star Wars, playing tag in an empty movie theater, having a sleepover with a preschooler, constructing fabric trees, clinging to dear life when the Joker was being creepy, riding 30 year old bikes, being mistaken for a boy, and chasing 2nd graders for not smiling.
Dress: Gap, everything else: thrift
Put those fangs away. Thrift thrift thrift.
I attached a hacky sack Caroline (WHO IS HOME! YESS!!!) gave me to a gold chain. Intense. Thrift thrift DIY.
Put those fangs away. Thrift thrift thrift.
I love the shirt under the hacky sack necklace.
ReplyDeletemuy bien Tavi!
ReplyDeleteThe hacky sack necklace is really clever! I want to make a necklace out of a pinecone and drill some holes in porcelain animal figurines and make necklaces out of them too.
ReplyDeletethese outfits have an almost costume tell a story edge about them but then again so do most of your outfits great style
ReplyDeleteha i love your description of the week. getting mistaken for a boy is never fun, but having an old man ask you if you're expecting is even worse. trust. (in my defense, i was wearing a maternity-esque-floaty-top but STILL).
ReplyDeleteTavi! Please tell me you wore all those outside!
ReplyDeleteyou are so cute. the first and last are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteahhhh im in love with the last outfit! L-O-V-E I-T!! Chee-WA-WA!
ReplyDeleteYou are fabulous!
ReplyDeletehow could YOU have been mistaken for a boy?
ReplyDeletepeople are crazy.
what thrift stores do you go to?
i mean, i don't know where you live but i love finding out new thrift stores across the globe.
Hey Tavi, I'm new to your blog, but look forward to reading it! You have such great style. Anyway, my favorite is definitely the second!
ReplyDeleteI love the first one esp. the hat. The one in the red dress is pretty fly too
ReplyDeleteHoly incredible AMAZINGNESS! I love everything!!!!! Any chance you bought anything waaaaaaaaaaaay to big for you???(being a couch potato all summer tends to end in a few xtra pounds, teehee)

ReplyDeletewahoo! You're watching Friends. Which is pretty much why I love you. AND KOREAN SOAP OPERAS!!! I love how a tiny little kiss is like losing their virginity. It's so much less intense than American television. But, I love it!
Lots of love,
SP

ReplyDeleteYou're a thrifting genius. Love how fun and quirky these looks are.
