sit right down and make me smile.



wilfred slouchy pocket shirt, white tank, denim cutoffs, aa mustard tights, millions of bracelets (including one my friend brought back for me from italy), & a cassette tape necklace.

today's outfit wasn't one of my favourites.
not exactly dull, per se, but i just didn't fall in love with it.
in fact, the more i look at it, the more i start to despise it.
anyway.
the one item that garnered the most attention was the cassette tape necklace:
'sick', 'i don't know', 'why the hell are you wearing a tape', 'may i inquire as to why you are wearing an a-trak cassette?', 'i love it', 'holy fuck are you flava flav or something?', 'it's cool!', 'bringing back the nineties are we?' are all remarks about my makeshift necklace that i received during the course of the day.





and i was hesitant about wearing yellow tights ...

prostitute in marseilles.

so, this is how my recent diy attempts went.

i was going for this -

and i ended up with this -


then i tried for this -

and i got this -


the shorts aren't as bleached, ripped, or long as they should be; and the skirt is the wrong material & not the exact shape.
but whatever.
i don't mind the way they turned out.

Blinged Out or Bling Doubt?

Maybe it's the insane amount of Lloyd Banks, Ludacris & Lil' Jon that has been delivered daily to my brain recently, or maybe it's because I yearn for some ice other than the cubed substance in my freezer. But I've become obsessed with diamonds. It might seem a little obvious that a girl loves diamonds, thanks to Marilyn Monroe, but I never really had an fixation with them. Now I do. Materialistic? Sure.
So, I decided to make my own shirt high in bling voltage:

I suppose the fact that it's a spray-painted diamond helps the irony. Considering that this is a one-of-a-kind piece, you can get your fix of bling with this:
