Merry Christmas with Shirts!

Its December and we're all looking for the perfect (cheap) gift to get out loved ones and those we spend a little too much time with. If your looking for a fun, cheap gift that you don't have to leave the house to buy here is my suggestion!

T-shirts!

Its no secret that I have a bit of a obsession with T shirts, something the fashion world would disown me for, but its true. T shirts are practical and with fashionable accessories they say just as much about ones personality then a cute dress or fancy fringe shoes.

Usually I'd point you all in the direction of Teefury which has a different shirt every day for $10. But it can get frustrating if they don't offer the RIGHT shirt at the RIGHT time. So here is what I'm telling all of you. Threadless.com is having a $10 sale on their artistic and geeky shirts. Below are some of the highlights I found (and would like to see in my stocking this year.)

Hello Pum-To my- Kin!

I LOVE Fall! You know why? BEcause I love sweaters, and vests, and scarfs, and tights, and jackets. Its not so cold that I'm miserable, but chilly enough that I can cuddle into layers. LOVE IT! So needless to say I've been so excited to where all my sweaters and things. Still keeping up with the 60's love if you can't tell from my shorts in this photo shoot and my reindeer sweater. Both I bought at Forever 21, which when I walked in seemed to be in the same mood as the rest of the fashion world this season and have everything sixtiefied.(I just made that word up!)

Again, I guess my look makes me out to be a sixties glamor prep school attendant, but I freaking LOVE it! If only I had dressed like this in all those awkward years of high school .

Tell the Leaves, and I'll consider

I know I know, on my end I haven't been updating that much. But that will all change now!

So first of all, its NOVEMBER already. Which is one of my busiest months, getting ready for the next semester, nanowrimo, tests, papers, and filling out applications for all the junk I plan on doing after graduation (this spring baby!) Despite how busy I am, I still find the time to dress nice and show a little flavor for the fall. This is the complete opposite from semesters in the past where I would be so busy and tired I would just go to class in simple sweats and T-shirts.

But I digress. This fall my theme is 60's fabulous. With all the 60's influence present on Project Runway this year, my new found obsession with Xmen First Class (set in the 60's) and my heavy influx of 60's music I've been gravitating towards more 60 clothes. You can see it in my outfit of choice here, the poodle sweater, my ruffles, and off course my giant glasses.

I also really like the fact that I felt like some rich school prepster. Full outfit pictures down below! Enjoy!

I am the Iron Batman

Pretty strange for a fashion blog to have something as casual as Tee's right? But while fashion is a statement of who you are- Generally mine tells people I like frills and girly things- when I wear my favorite comic book t shirts people now know what a total and complete geek I am. It often sparks conversations with fellow geeks or with complete strangers which I why I love my T-shirts so much.

Keep Your Head Up

Hey guys, so today I'm going to do some fashion for my all time biggest inspiration- JAPAN! Now, Japan fashion is amazing! I've studied the language and the people for my entire college career and while I was there I was impressed with how fashionable the girls were. Everyday was like a fashion show for them and shopping was amazing. (I drooled over everything.)

Things that were big over there were...
1. Fashionable skirts
2. High heels
3. and frills.

The outfit I'm wearing I bought in Japan. It is a sheer tan long sleeved and a pair of brown skirt/ shorts. People kept asking if I was wearing a skirt or pants. They are shorts but they are flowy another to come off as a skirt. AND they have pockets! - another plus.

When I was in Japan it was winter. So when I wore this outfit I were brown tights with it and the scarf I'm wearing in this picture. It can be both a winter and fall outfit. This outfit represents all that I love about Japanese fashion. It's just... well stylish. People turn their heads when I wear this on campus. (I wish Americans dressed like this all the time.)

Riot Rhythm

Here is some of the last photos from my farm. Again the sun was being pretty silly that day so some photos are really dark but some turned out nice with a few touch ups.

I am actually wearing the skirt in the picture now as I type this. It is a new favorite of mine. Speckled with fun colors and a high waist. I'll take some other pictures with it to show off the variety (and variety is what we love! :D ) Kelly also has this skirt - we bought them at the same time same place because of a super sale- so pictures of her own skirt adventures will probably be posted later. The tank top I made myself by coming up with a design and bringing a blank tank top to our local T-shirt store. I really love it because it has my own personally touches on it. As you can see it is a earth smiling and holding a flower. What you CAN'T see are the words above the picture that say 世界を守る。Which means Protect the Earth in Japanese (the second language I'm learning.) That topped with a snazy sun hat and some classy looking oil barrels behind me and we had a fun photo shoot.

A closer look under the cut...

O'Children Children

This update is rather late. Sorry about that. School is about to start and it has been crazy trying to get things together. Anyway, today's outfit is a dusty jumper I bought at... you guessed it, Urban Outfitters clearance. I like this jumper because of the color mix it has. Dusty brown with lime green and orange. Yes please. It looks strangely farmer-ish. Which works great with the photos taken on my farm by Kelly. It was also remarkably hot, but I'm thinking this jumper will look cute as a winter outfit as well. Put on some grey tights, a green jacket and some high boots and I think we have a winner.

Now, the day we took these photos the sun was being temperamental and couldn't decide between hiding behind clouds or brightening our day. We did our best with the photos but they came out rather dark. I suppose I'll take some more in this jumper so you may see it better in the future. But overall I like this feel of the photos with the jumper, the trailer, and our fence.

Kids With Kicks

Hey all another week another update. Kind of back to back with Kelly's.
 This is my outfit  collected and compiled from Forever 21. I adore this outfit for a number of reasons. The top is a fun and flowy flower print (is there any kind). Its one of the first flower prints I bought for myself since I’ve had a stigma against them since I was little (a little too girly for the tomboy I once was.) The skirt is tight fitting and short but it had big pockets and looks great with heels. Another outfit I can see myself wearing in New York.

The suitcase featured in the photos belonged to my grandfather. I love it because it is a classical brown leather suitcase. It doesn’t fit a lot, but it works great for road trips and one day sleep overs. Plus it makes me feel like I’ve been transported back in time.

Introduction to Fashion

 Hello all. Since We're trying to get this blog off the ground and flying I thought I would post some pics now instead of waiting for Wednesday. Kelly is busy editing photos from our own mini photo-shoot we did the other day. Hopefully she'll post them in a few. Until then, here is a adorable outfit I pulled together. It can be both classy and fun with a simple jack which is why I love it. And the flowers really set the shirt. The shoes I inherited from my mom.

Since this is a introduction post, I'll do a quick introduction to my style. I enjoy classy and chic looks complete with blazers and heels, but pink and frilly (vintage) dresses are often my undoing. Do those things go together?
