start gettin real

Do you remember how much older and cooler everybody on The Real World seemed when you watched it in middle school? And now....you watch and cringe and mutter to yourself how irresponsible and stupid they seem..

But..those first few seasons in the early 90s always remain good memories of cool/interesting young adults...well..as much as I can recollect.

Real World London was one of my favorites because of Jacinda and Neil. She had awesome vintage style and he was cute and both he and his girlfriend had cool style. 15+ years later, I think of them when I wear a vintage chiffon dress with my beat up frye boots or when I throw on my striped mohair sweater and creepers. Weird how inspiration/memories really do become one in the same as time goes on. Regarding fashion and other ACTUAL important things! :)

 

P.S. Do you remember when Neil almost got his tongue bitten out!!

The Big Kahuna

A little inspiration from one of my favorite movies ever!!

Bees Knees

I'm really into these overalls by Mother Denim. They remind me of a girlier fitted version of Carhartt overalls. I can see myself gardening and going out to dinner in these...just change shoes and throw on some red lipstick. Sweetness.

The higher the hair.....

Beehives and bouffants all summer long!!

el cheapo

I consider myself a creative spender....i.e., cheap as fuck.

It takes me months of thought and mental preparation to spend a large amount of money on one item.

Luckily, the pieces above are all $35 and under.

Score!!

I totally suck at "outfit" posts but here's a detail of what I wore a couple days ago.

80's Paisley blouse/40's Paisley blazer.

I really dug mixing the dueling paisley patterns and peter pan collars.
