Rugs For Thugs

Another 2015 Style File lost in the archives...

Is it weird that I still kind of dig these?  I don't think they would look flattering on me, but I love the bulkiness and texture of it.  Though they seem like they wouldn't be too comfortable.

Over and under

I compiled this is in 2015 and never got around to publishing it.  I think this was the year bralettes became huge.  I still love the look of a bralette or corset layered over a button-up shirt.

...

Here's what 15 year old me had to say:

These days I don't keep track of trends.  If I happen to click on a post by the Man Repeller or the Blonde Salad about what's trending this season, then sure, but for the most part, I'm still trying to find my own style.  I especially enjoy loking back at old posts by other bloggers that I admire, such as Stella Katterman, Tavi Gevinson, Susie Bubble, Ellie O'Connor Philips and the list goes on.

I can sense a possible style block coming my way, but I'm hoping that can be avoided with lots of therapeutic blog lurking.  We shall see.

April Outfit Recap

I first saw Amelia Diamond do this post on the Man Repeller.

In hindsight I am glad I was able to document all these outfits that otherwise would have been long lost memories.  On one hand, I can look at an outfit and tell you what I did that day and with who.  Other outfits weren't as successful and have left no recollection in my mind.

Since the beginning of 2018 I have been tracking all my spendings.  I was curious to know exactly where my money was going to and if I was actually spending the amount of money I thought I was.  Needless to say, April was a month of crazy spending.  My head hangs lows, and my inner money-saving-cheap-ass is shaking her head at all my impulse buys.

I spent over $400 alone in April.  There were some unusual purchases this month including $100+ hair products to dye my hair blue, and a $90 prom ticket.  What I'm  most disappointed in myself was spending $100+ on shoes I will most likely never where out the house (more on this in a later post).

In the end, I'm not as immune to impulse buys than I thought I was.

I'm actually quite shocked that none of these outfits were repeated.  I definitely have a lot of clothes (but not as much as people would think).  That's the beauty of selling clothes online, I get to wear them a couple of times, sell them, and buy something new :)  For example, that blue Dickies overall dress I wore with my rainbow tights was $10 at Urban Outfitters and I sold it for $30.

Just to give an update on my current situation, April and May have been filled with scholarship applications, unnecessary amounts of assignments, play rehearsals, and weird sleeping patterns.

Hopefully June will include more bubble tea outings, thrifting, and simply hanging out with amazing friends.

CHEERS!

ENJOY SCROLLING I was scrolling through all my blogspots (published and drafts) and I totally forgot about this one!  I think I didn't publish it initially because I thought there weren't enough looks.  I don't know what I was thinking.  I love creating Style Files because for me scrolling through a page with a bunch of crazy outfits inspires me even more to want to go ham when I put together my outfits.  So before I forget to publish this...

Currently...Brain Throbbing...Night

It's  currently 1:29 am and I just got done a painting I'm giving my sister for Christmas.  I was feeling very inspired by abstract art and texture and collected some random pictures from the internet to share the feels with you guys .

My brain is starting to do that thing where it starts throbbing because I've been staring too long at the screen and it's pitch black in my room (hence 1:29 am).  Let's try and avoid glasses.  I'm going to sign off here.  What a strange time to be posting.   Oh well.   I've been sleeping extremely 'late' lately and that's a no no.  Shame on me.

Peace xoxo

Top Ten Topshop Winter Holiday Essentials: 2015/16

I checked out Topshop's Christmas sweaters and I just thought to myself that you could probably thrift more unique ones.  Nevertheless, I was window shopping their online store (specifically their holiday dresses) and thought I should do another Top Ten Topshop post.  This definitely took me a while to narrow everything down so I made sure all the items I chose had their own versatility, functionality, and spontaneity.  Let me know your favourite!  Mine's got to be the first one.  The Peter Pan collar and embroidery is so classy and festive at the same time.
