† Moi Non Plus

Black maxi dress styled with camo.


Tous les jours je suis hustlin dress.


Knot a maxi dress to make it shorter.


Black maxi dress styled with camo jacket.
Wearing: Urban Outfitters dress, Franco Sarto boots, and camo jacket gifted from my dad.



Tous les jours, je suis hustlin'. Or in English, errryday I'm hustlin. This dress triggered fond memories of high school French class, so when it went on sale at Urban Outfitters, I made it mine. Did you know that Alouette is actually a fairly violent song about plucking a bird's feathers off its body after lulling it into false safety by calling it gentille? True story.

Quick protip for short girls that like long dresses: don't be afraid to knot the bottom of the dress or skirt! It makes the hem a little more interesting and you won't be tripping over the thing all day. Saving you from tripping over your own clothes since 2012.


I random-number-generated the winner of the OASAP Fall Sweater Giveaway this morning and sent out an email -- thank you to everyone who threw their name in the hat. Should I do more giveaways? 

Also, doesn't my dad have good taste in clothes? Ha! ♥

what i'm wearing † a clouded fair





one of my dreams is to live in an apartment with exposed brick (i dream big, clearly) so i like to cozy up to brick walls when they're hanging out nearby.

i wear buns like other people wear ponytails, i think -- it's the messy hair day go-to. i'm not sure if this was supposed to be a side-bun day or a top-of-head bun day. it kinda looks like it's just chillin' in the middle. pro tip: buns will do what they want unless lassoed in by a hair donut.

for a different take on the floral dress, i wore it as a long tank here: lazy sunday, june 18.

what i'm wearing † think of me as programmable soda




i was in dire need of a haircut so i sat down with a pair of kitchen scissors and took a few inches off my hair. no regrets, and $20+ saved. if i was to have a style maxims, they'd be something like: 1) when in doubt, overdress. 2) diy before you pay to have someone else do it. 3) never ever sleep in makeup oh my gosh do not do it ever do you understand ok NEVERRRRR. 

it's the kind of hot outside right now where you can see the heat rising from the pavement. long days, lots of sunlight, sleep as a series of cat naps. time slows down and gives you all the reason you need to take long walks just because.

since we haven't figured out how to encapsulate that feeling, i'll just listen to "call me maybe" a lot so i can play it later in winter and trick myself into thinking that it's warm outside. i'm totally programmable like that.

† The Unwavering Fact of Tomorrow





  • dir en grey tour tshirt, direngrey.co.jp
  • print leggings, forever 21
  • fringe faux leather purse, h&m
  • floppy hat, old navy
  •  leather boots, franco sarto  this is a really relaxed, go-to outfit for me. leggings are inexpensive and comfortable, black boots go with everything, and i have enough band tees to wear one every day for weeks.


    i didn't think it was interesting enough to post, but as i was walking to the store i got stopped on the street twice and told, "hey, you look cool!" so it made it here anyway.
