Daily Outfit Post + Meaningful Song Lyric Title

So, it's the week before finals. And I just took a three hour nap to prepare for an all nighter. And there's E. Coli in the water here in West Portland. So I thought to myself, rather than be freaked out by the dirty water and not eat because my kitchen/sink/washing any of my dishes creeps me out, I would venture down to Safeway and buy some carbs and cheese. For energy, bien sur. And then I got dressed because I am not one of those adventurous souls that can wear their penguin boxers and neon orange moose-with-afros sweatshirt to the grocery store. So I was wearing my Wankers Cafe t-shirt that my father so thoughtfully purchased for me at that venerable establishment, and I said to myself, "Katie would love this shirt! The irony! The sex reference! The oversized tee with cut-out neckline!"


So I kept it on, even though it's usually my pajama shirt and does not see the light of day. And then I was all, EEEEEEE outfit post! So I [mockery begins] threw on some lightwash denim to play up the "Urban" aspect of the oversized tee, but balanced with a slim black jean. I struggled with my footwear choice but eventually decided upon the honey leather wedges to give the outfit that special ladylike "something." I felt a lil bare until I remembered that nothing says FASHIONISTA like ACCESSORIES! Scarf I DIYed!!! I like to mix n' match my jewelry for that really "Urban" look--tonight I paired my grandmother's gold watch with a chain I found on the ground and some vintage silver shit I stole from my mommy.


I kept my makeup clean and simple to maximize the WOW factor of the rest of the look.



And that's how to dress yourself! So you look unique! Or at least approximate an Urban Outfitters catalogue!


[Disclaimer: this is not something I would ever wear. Safeway is my experimental runway.]
[Sidenote: today at work this customer asked me if I went to fashion school, because I knew all the lingo. And I laughed embarrasedly and mumbled, "No, I just read a lot of fashion blogs" and thought dammit, I KNEW I should've said tube top instead of bandeau top! And possibly pretended I didn't know the technical term for a dolman sleeve! It's hard bein so fresh.]
