Inspired By: My FP "Dress"

First of all, please pardon the quality of this photo. Although it was taken by my best lady friend aka photographer Alex Davis, this picture is what we like to call a mupload: mobile upload; an upload deriving from one's cellular device.

Anyway...I know what you're thinking. Kewl dress, Pretty Bird! And to that I say thank you, but I have fooled you. This dress in which you speak is not in fact a dress, but a skirt and a shirt to be exact. All Free People, might I add. Also: enjoy the face of my best lady friend's sister Victoria, my other lady friend, to my right.

Sorry you all can't see my pretty bird face. But hey, at least there's some breeze. Punny, as always.

Tank: Free People, Skirt: Free People, Sandals: Jeffrey Cambpell, Bandeau: American Apparel

Inspired By: One Love, One Short

These shorts were quite the steal. I didn't actually steal them, don't worry, I have a really guilty conscience. I saw these babies on the sale rack for $14.99 and snagged them. So what if they give me a wedgie? #lifeisgood.

I figured since these shorts are oh so cute like a button, I might as well center a few outfits around them. I decided to call this experiment: one love, one short. Creative, right? So here I stand, clad in my Kimchi Blue trouser shorts and various shirts, shoes, and most importantly,elephant socks.

LOOK ONE:

Shirt: Silence and Noise, Shorts: Kimchi Blue, Shoes: Anne Klein

Anne Klein, you've done good, kid. Lovin' on my lil loafers.

I tweeted a picture of my yellow nails last night after painting them. I called it: Fingers full o' sunshine. Like pockets full o' sunshine, the song by Natasha Bedingfield. Technically now, my fingers and pockets are both full o' sunshine. Hooray.

LOOK TWO:

Blouse: Kimchi Blue, Shorts: Kimchi Blue, Socks: Urban Outfitters, Shoes: Cooperative

aka "I wish I thought of wearing a table cloth over my bra" -The Banana Bin

Dance dance like it's the last last night of your life life. Usher, anyone? Nah? Ok. I tried. Nothing stops me from breaking it down in the middle of the street.

If you know me, you know I'm afraid animals--especially weener dogs and deer--so, I suppose my spankin' new socks come as a surprise to you. My socks have little baby elephants on them that frolic in the wind, kinda like me. I may not like real elephants, but I sure do like little fake ones of my socks. Oh, and in case during this shoot I got a call to fill in for my professional bowler dad at the lanes, I'd so be ready with these shoes. Just sayin'.

Before this picture was taken I asked my friend Alex how I should pose. We both simultaneously said: FROLIC FOR SURE. Agreed. And so here I am frolicking away, twirling around and flying away like the pretty bird I am.

Intense model face? Check. Hands in the air party like I just don't care? Check. See-through blouse? Check. A sneak peak at how I will look as an ombre? CHECK.

LOOK THREE:

Shirt: Central Park West, Shorts: still Kimchi Blue, Shoes: Superga, Bow: American Apparel

Just lacing up my sneaks...chillen.

Helloooo awkward stance and Blue Steel facial expression. I call this look: Zoolander Chic.

Check out my red accents. I call this look "Maryland Chic." Kidding...but at least I'm ready for the land of mary with all this rojo. Spankin' new Superga sneaks in red=my life is complete.

Inspired By: UGGS...WHAT?!

I've had to make many tough decisions this year. Some more serious like where to attend college, and if you read this blog, which you should and most likely do since you are reading this silly post, then you know I chose UMD, chirp terp I'm a pretty bird chirp terp. Other decisions involved to wear boyfriend jeans or not to wear boyfriend jeans, because I do not have a boyfriend. To eat this caloric yet beautiful cupcake or not to eat the cupcake. Sorry for the Shakespearean references, but I am finishing off the year in AP Lit after all, and I did have to fill out all of my AP paperwork today.

Anyway, today I am faced with an extremely difficult decision, a challenge, if you may. I call it a challenge because I have challenged myself to buy an item that I have so publicly trashed before today and find this item quite offensive. No, the item is not crocs. Kill me if I ever say Gee!!!! I want to buy some CROCS today!!!! Seriously, put me out of my misery.

This battle entails a pair of UGGly ass shoes. Get my gist? I decided since I am off to college in the fall and although I say I will get dressed up every single day for class, you and I both know that is a big fat lie, although I shall try to flaunt my Free People dresses to class as often as genuinely possible. But for the days I want to roll out of bed, a nice pair of UGG moccasins seem like exactly what the the slipper doctor (in this case UGGoligist) ordered. I am a loyal Minnetonka Moccasin kind of girl, but let's face it. If College Park ever gets cold, a girl just needs the warmth of some UGGs when her Hunter Welly socks won't cut it.

So now the difficult decision? PEWTER or BLACK?!?!?!?!
