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.

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.

Pumped!

Being a broke college kid means savings! There are plenty of ways to save when you are poor like me! The key is to reuse and recycle!

I like to rummage through my parents closet. I don’t just limit myself to my Mom’s side either; my Dad has some cute old vintage tees and plaid work shirts with paint splatters. He also has some really awesome belts! My Mom has so many random clothes, too. Some are from back in the day, like her leather motorcycle vest and old military uniforms. Recently, I have even taken to wearing some of her old swimsuits that are krazy prints and we also wear the same shoe size!

I am the younger sister so I grew up with hand-me-downs! We used to constantly fight over who stole what from each others' laundry basket. I still love clothes swapping and borrowing each others’ stuff. Between my friends and family, I am able to scrounge up some awesome finds!

Giving back to Thrift Stores or Goodwill, not only makes me feel good, but it also allows more room in my wardrobe. I love going to Plato’s Closet or Arizona Trading Company or vintage stores and getting money back for last year’s clothes.

This outfit was from a while ago, Cara and I had fun just dancing around taking pictures out our own front door. I would wear this outfit to go out in or even just to go shopping . The good thing about this dress is that it can be dressed up, with accessories and heels, or down, with some sneakers and socks. The color and fit are important. This dress is such a neutral color so it can be worn doing anything and also has a good fit.

No Makeup Needed

 

Hello again all it is a joint post today. A photo shoot Kell and I did in the past. Kelly decided to go the colorful root rocking a awesome eighties look and I went a darker route. Still these are some of my faviorte pictures because I believe this is the first photo opt me and Kelly did together. :) 

I am wearing two pieces of clothes I bought on sale at Urban Outfitters. In the time that I have lived in our adorable college town I've learned few great pieces of "shopping" advice. Going to Urban's CLEARANCE side of the store is one of these things. I usually love U.O clothes, but they are much to rich for my poor college ass. So clearance it is. Everything is much more reasonable in the pricing zone and wearable no matter the season. 

I can't really speak for Kelly about her clothes, but hopefully she'll input her thoughts when she finds the time. All I can say is that I love her pink glasses with the top. :>

As far as location goes, this was done in our humble apartment.  Our balcony is a excellent place for photos since we have a great oak tree as our neighbor. And the picture you can see behind me in one of the pictures is one Kelly picked out of the garbage. Amazing!

Below are a collection of the main pictures. Full body and together. Enjoy.

Show Me Your Teeth

I’m the other half! Cara and I have known each other since we were babies running around in pigtails watching Lion King. Since the little girl days, we have traded our diapers and Barbies for a slew of clothes, shoes, and a kick ass wardrobe to play dress up! (Okay...so we still play dress up!) We already parade around town taking pictures of ourselves, so we might as well blog about it. Fashion is something that I have always loved and my style is constantly going through drastic turnovers and evolutions.

Soooo it is summertime and in case you haven’t been outside for the past few months, you don’t watch the news, or have been hibernating in Alaska it is a scorcher outside! I mean dragon-inferno-flaming-firey-pits-of-hell hot. All I can think about is going swimming and sitting inside in front of the fan drinking ice cold lemonade! Luckily, I spent my first half of summer in England and have been influenced by my travels though London, Oxford, Cambridge, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and the Highlands. Traveling made me realize how hard it is to live out of a suitcase and now that I’m back it’s time to kick summerwear into full gear!

My new loves at the moment are pastel jumpers, braided headbands, high-waisted floral shorts, folded down boots, and my fuchsia Speedo swimsuit!

Overall, I would describe my fashion sense as an emporium where whimisical meets practicality, a menagerie of colorful confection. Someone once described my style as a mix between an old lady’s antique wardrobe and a child’s dress up box. I’m a bit crazy, but I like to take risks and keep it classy, usually.

This is me just monkeying around!

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?
