Grandpa Jacket

-

Just a disclaimer: this is NOT my grandpa's jacket. I just recall looking through my parents really cool wedding that was in the 70s and my Grandpa was sporting a wonderfully brown plaid suit, and thinking this jacket reminded me of it and my grandpa. I got this jacket at Goodwill as a piece of a suit which included the vest you see me wear every other picture pretty much.

Music Playlist Challenge, Pt 2: "Starry Eyed" - Ellie Goulding

-

Here is my long-anticipated "Starry Eyed" outfit. I'll be honest, I mostly wanted to do the inverted challenge for this song alone. Can you blame me!?! Ellie Goulding has a great fashion sense and her music is so inspiring as well! It's this electronica-romantic style that makes the future not so robotic-sounding or stiff. So that's what I did in regards to this outfit, sparkly silvers and vintage pieces for a romantic hipster marriage.  Please note I am also sporting my "starry" earrings, a personal favorite that I am suprised that I get much use out of. The rest of the outfit was intended to look like the sky and the stars. Blouse and Skirt, Buffalo Exchange Leather Jacket, Forever 21 Necklace, AE (gift) Earrings, Icing The Rest: Starry Eyed - Ellie Goulding White Sky - Vampire Weekend Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop - Landon Pigg Electric Twist - A Fine Frenzy What You Waiting For - Gwen Stefani (clean version...

Music Challenge: "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele

This time I chose to do "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele . If Pinterest hasn't taught me anything, it's that Adele has a look all of her own. After Googling up her fashion taste, I found that she was a big fan of three things: lacy black dresses with the occasional colored overcoat and sparkly earrings, big luscious hair, and a soft cat-eyeliner with gold/brown eyeshadow. So that's what I did....sort of. My hair can't stay that voluptuous for that long and maybe I need a liquid eyeliner to make my cat-eye stay and to leave an impact. I have to admit I felt really uncomfortable putting on so much black but I got a lot of compliments that day (live in a small-college town full of Conservatives in the middle of winter, go figure). Skirt, Buffalo Exchange Shirt, NY &C Belt, Goodwill Boots, Last Chance Tights, Kohls Coat, Burlington Coat Factory Earrings, Icing Camisole, Downeast Basics What's left? 1.      Are Y...

Music Playlist Challenge Pt. 2: "It's Not Unusual" -Glee Cast

-

This one is "It's Not Unusual" covered by Glee Cast , I was inspired by the dapper, classy fashion of Blaine's character so I kept it basic with some gender neutral classic loafers and ray-bans and decided to go with the peppiness of the song with yellow and rolled up skinny jeans. I kept trying to add things: ties, vests, blazers, and they just were not working! So I decided today that less was more. Yellow shirt, vintage Camisole, Downeast Basics Jeans, American Eagle Glasses, gift Loafers, Last Chance Starry Eyed - Ellie Goulding White Sky - Vampire Weekend Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop - Landon Pigg Electric Twist - A Fine Frenzy What You Waiting For - Gwen Stefani (clean version) It's Not Unusual - Glee Cast She Blinded Me With Science - Thomas Dolby Every Teardrop is a Waterfall - Coldplay Big Black Horse and The Cherry Tree - KT Tunstall My Man My Moon - Feist (If You are Wondering if I Want you To) I Want You To - Weez...
