Pierre Hardy for Gap shoes. American Apparel tights. Hand-me-down tee. Gap sweater. Blood is the New Black tee worn as skirt.
This was initially supposed to be a bumble bee outfit but then I liked having all b/w except for ONE article of yellow and the sweatshirt seemed right. But goddamn this outfit is pretentious. Mozart and Joy Division, SUCH OBSCURE TASTES!!!1! Man, I sort of hate it now but whatever. Part of the outfit diary.
Folks at Gap sent me this ridiculously comfy sweatshirt...sort of been wearing it all the time? It's pretty gross, you don't wanna touch it. The shade of yellow reminds me of footsie pajamas I wore when I was a toddler. I think they had Winnie the Pooh on them, or some random bear. I used to prefer my red Tigger ones because I thought the yellow looked like pee but now it's one of the only shades of yellow that I think looks nice on its own. It's so soft and stuffed animal-like and feels like winter, bedsheets, hot chocolate, looking at old issues of Lula and petting my dog. Yes, ALL OF THOSE.
I just need a lilac corset and then I can do Wang, easter egg style?
Ugh, it looks so comfy there. I really rather liked this campaign and am glad they didn't do some tacky stuff with a football field or anything. The clothes and messy hair are sporty so there's no need for more elaboration on the inspiration. The lighting does SO much. Hi, please come to my closet and stay there forever.
Obesity and Speed tee. Thrifted blazer. Pamela Mann tights via mytights.com. Blood is the New Black tee worn as skirt. Monsoon Accesorize headband. Crayola moustache.
Heyyyy I actually wore this one on the day I'm posting it!! Getting back in the groove like I did after my disco hiatus back in the 70's, FEELS GOOD. Anyway, more evidence of my mixing-prints-of-the-same-colors obsession, yadda yadda yadda.
Oh, and don't mind my mustache. I drew it on when making a movie for school and didn't feel like washing it off. I still have it on now, actually. TOMAS LIVES!

I am obSESSED with this peacock-printed blazer I got at the Salvation Army a couple days after I was fangirling over Leigh Lezark's Giambattista Valli version. They are basically the same thing! Only hers is a coat. And has real feathers. And was not found next to a pit-stained t-shirt that said "CLASSY LADIE" on it.
Anyway, the feathers illustrated remind me of the drawings in Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs-the book, not the stupid ass 3-D remake (I don't like you, world.) Not into the shoulderpads, so I just sort of fold them in, creating really awkward lapels but whatever.
One day I think I will buy a lot of peacock feathers, and string them together, and pin the first and last ones to the inseam of the sleeve and side of a shirt, so that when I spread my arms I become a peacock. If that makes sense.
Oh this glorious HEADBAND. That's right, HEADBAND. This hat is attached to a headband, and it's great, because you can't make a kid take a HEADBAND off in school.
And-what's this? Peacock feathers? Embroidered onto a light blue cocktail veil hat? Oh, light blue cocktail veil hat, you know me too well.
And-what's this? Peacock feathers? Embroidered onto a light blue cocktail veil hat? Oh, light blue cocktail veil hat, you know me too well.

You know you're all grown up when you've sprouted a 'stache! ;-)

Isn't it wonderful when you start cleaning your room (Cuase noone ever truly finishes)and you find something you thought you lost? I love when I find old coats under all my schoolwork and fabrics.

Also, hats on a headband are much easier to wear, no need to stand up really straight all the time!
ReplyDeleteass-kickin' alliteration.
ReplyDeleteI remember those tights! I L<OVE peacock feathers, I even have peacock colored nail polish!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the hair.

ReplyDeleteI've wanted those AA tights for ages, haha. Also, adore Wang's s/s '10 collection. I love that stylish all-American sportswear look.
ReplyDeletehttp://izzenxoxo.blogspot.com/
I have to applaud you for being able to wear heels. I'm 28 and I can barely survive 2 inchers. I should've learned when I was your age. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteI adore the tights in the top photo. Cute outfit! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love the way you layer patterns. I wouldn't exactly call Mozart and Joy Division Obscure ;]
ReplyDeletea lovely combo!
ReplyDeleteTees as skirts. Headband hats. Peacock feathers. ~~ Moustaches. What a wonderful world we live in.
ReplyDeleteZany outfits. Love.
You are an old soul and I love that about you. Love that headband... what a clever way to get around stupid dress code rules.
ReplyDeleteTavi, I found these thismorning and they made me think of you- http://www.les-queues-de-sardines.com/images/collections/SS_09/full/1.jpg
ReplyDeleteInfact the whole two collections are pretty rad.
http://www.les-queues-de-sardines.com/collections.html
waaaaaaaaaaaaa I love the peacock blazer it`s amazing :D
ReplyDeleteAmen to the cocktail HEADBAND! I used to know alllll about getting around rules in my school days, that is for sure. And now I do the same in my corporate office. Good skills to have!
ReplyDeleteYou have so much fun with clothes! -turns green with envy-
ReplyDeleteAnd that HEADBAND, yes that HEADBAND is darling! I'm planning on making a Valentine headband :]
Thanks for being ongoing inspiration for me and my blog!
PS- a furry grey stick-on moustache sits on my coffee table. I got it for my 23-year-old brother for Christmas. But he went back to St. Louis. Poor lonely 'stache...
I love the outfit, the headband and the tights are amazing. I want that tights!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a nut! But a very cool nut, with about the most amazing headband ever.
ReplyDeletei LOVE that blazer! charity shops round where i live don't tend to yield such nice things. i really like how you play with shapes and structures of clothes, it's a total herve leger bypass and i love it...
ReplyDeletewww.coutureandcrumpets.blogspot.com
really, I love the mustache
ReplyDeleteI lovee those black & white lights, kind of kind of reminds me of those chanel tights (white in the front black in the back, or vice versa). And those prints are wicked great (new wardrobe want).
ReplyDeleteI'm also amused that you have the Alexander Wang campaign ad in this post because I was looking at it just that day! (I considered putting it as my background, but then decided that having it there compared to my own designs/creations was just discouraging haha)
LOVE it
ReplyDeletehttp://www.passionsforfashion.blogspot.com/
any tips on how i can get some "charity store patience"???Love your jacket!I need more colour in my wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteI love your peacock blazer!
ReplyDeletehttp://thedollhouse0101.blogspot.com/
those tights!
ReplyDeleteLOVE!
http://fledglingblog.blogspot.com/
why are you so cool!
ReplyDeletelove the headband.. + LOVE the tights :-)
the black and white tights with the sandals was a good, good choice. the chocolate milk thing cracked me up. when i was 12 and 13 i was wearing huge aerosmith tour shirts, sparkly lipstick, and Jnco jeans. so you're wayyy ahead of the game.
ReplyDeletePeacock feather head piece, that's one thing....but peacock feather pattern on a headband... Me gusta mucha. Check my post from last year. 'peacocks and so forth' -or better still wait to see the final outcome which will be up on my blog shortly.

genius way to get around dumb school rules. rebel, rebel.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the very few times I have had a major difference in opinion to you, but to me that Wang corset does not look comfy at all. Perhaps you meant the picture on the right or the vibe in general, but just sayin'. However, I love both outfits, especially the 2nd! The peacock blazer is indeed obsession-worthy.
ReplyDeletei really like your mozart tee and they way your wearing the joy division shirt...pretty nifty
ReplyDeleteI love how you're not afraid to mix prints! It's possible as long as you keep it within the same color family.
ReplyDeleteI really admire your bold, one of a kind take on personal style!
ReplyDeletePlus I really enjoy simply reading your blog...so entertaining. You're a true fashion gal! Love it.
Oh, and I'm completely envying your Pierre Hardy for Gap sandals. I'm an idiot for not copping a pair when they were still around. Damn.

"Mozart and Joy Division, SUCH OBSCURE TASTES!!!", you said. I don't think so, I would say "great taste on music", dear!
ReplyDeleteI really love the first outfit, you just proved that yellow, black and white can look good together. I need those tights...
ReplyDeletelinda!
ReplyDeleteNow hold on here, Miss G. Mozart and Joy Division? You the rulingest. I have that Joy Division shirt but mine is 30 years old. (Peter Saville, of Joy Division / New Order / Factory Records design renown: graphics deity of all time.) The mixed-prints outfit is making my eyes bleed.
ReplyDeleteAMAZING blog and outfits! I glimpsed the site for your blog in Glamour magazine and love it! Although I have seen you in another magazine at the Marc Jacobs show?? JEALOUS! He is my fave designer.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my blog, not as fashion forward and articulate as yours, (hey we can all dream!)

in my room you can find at least two glass with o`boy,( it`s like nesquik) on the bottom. A lot of old waterglasses, dirty cloths in the bed, at chairs, on the floor...
ReplyDeleteI don´t think your room is like pig sty compare to my room.
Maybe it`s time for me to clean my room??:D

Hey, I have those tights! Except I got mine on amazon for like 25 cents. Yesss. I think I also have the same camera as you.
ReplyDeleteWe lead parallel lives. Except you're a year older than me... o-o
thats exactly what i thought when i saw headband-hats at a store. I was about to buy one just to wear it to school to see if anyone would tell me to take it off.
ReplyDeletei too had yellow fleece footie pjs that winnie the pooh on them. i believe my grandma gave them to me...
ReplyDeleteI love the prints...very chic. You've got great style. I absolutely love the peacock-printed blazer. Its so original and peacock feathers or oh so pretty. I heart it.

Awesome headband. Peacock feathers? Yeah, I have an obsession with that.
ReplyDeletelove the black/white tights... and the chunky white platforms of course!!!
ReplyDeletewww.girlwiththeflower.blogspot.com
Yo I haven't liked one of your outfits in AGES and I was starting to worry, but this one's sweet! Elegant-but-playful-slash-kooky. haha. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteAnd by that I mean the moustache one.
ReplyDeleteI have that gap sweatshirt in gray and you're right. soooo comfy. I could probably live in it too, except sweatshirts are frowned on at work and I'm never not at work. sad.
ReplyDeletei totally love that blazer, i have developed an addictionto blazers in different patterns, but i only have one blue. i feel a bit boring now.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Headband. I adore it :)
