† Denim CAT$




This sweater is a big hit with the kids. (And anyone on hallucinogens, probably? Selective neon pink floating cats. Trippy.) I'm pleased to present the first and only pair of blue jeans I own. I've got respect for the classic denim jean, but it's not really spiked / gauzy / oversized enough to be a mainstay in my closet. In fact, these jeans are so old they're from Anchor Blue, which is so not even a thing anymore. Does anyone remember that place? If I had to guess, I'd pin their purchase date around 2005, which makes them less than a decade old!

Speaking of decade-old clothing, the Converse I almost wore with this outfit made their debut into my life in 2001. Those shoes have spent more time in class than some grade school students. 

Three cheers for unretouched clear skin! Despite Dove's questionable marketing techniques -- check out Refinery 29's article on their new "photoshop app" if you haven't already -- their bar soap is all I'll use on my skin. Everyone has their sworn makeup routine; there's mine.

† Read All About It














I hear it's #ThrowbackThursday? Here's my unintentional throwback. I bought these pants about... six or seven years ago, yikes, in my sophomore or junior year of high school. A girl in my math class (who wore Victoria's Secrets velour tracksuits so she could look like she didn't care about what she wore while still totally caring about what she wore) had on pants just like these one day, and they looked so good on her that I had to go buy the same pants. I'm still wearing them however many years later, so no regrets. And I guess they've slid back into style as "oxblood." Sweet.

Maybe there was something to the Victoria's Secret sweatpants after all!

  • black tee, H&M
  • corduroy jeans, Anchor Blue (these pants are so old this store doesn't even exist anymore)
  • padlock bracelet, AllSaints
  • d-ring belt, Hot Topic (as old as the pants, if not older)
  • jeffrey campbell clear heel litas, Karmaloop
