Something to Talk About

Friday, October 14th, 2011

People are talkin, talking ’bout people
I hear them whisper, you won’t believe it

Let’s give them something to talk about

Better yet, how about something to tweet about?

It’s been a grippp since I posted photos or blogged in general. I swear, I’m trying to write/photograph more. Not commuting to K-town, it is like I’ve regained two hours of life. My ten minute bike ride guarantees sun. Running barefoot on the beach is the best workout. I’m averaging 10-12+ hour days [have you seen my lack of tweets!?], but I love it. My routine is in motion and I’m on track with life’s goals.

As for these photos… I’ve been jamming out to some Bonnie Raitt lately, hence the lyrics. My top? Bought it at an estate sale in Pullman for $1. Yep, I’m wearing a dead guy’s sweater. Shorts are Danskin. #BigHitOnTheBeach

Let’s give ‘em something to talk about
A little mystery to figure out
Let’s give ‘em something to talk about
How about love, love, love?

It’s Fashion Friday: Levi’s Sample Sale Style!

That’s right, I hit up the Levi’s sample sale and what else would I wear to a Levi’s event, other than my vintage $1 self-cutoff Levi’s!? Be jealous shoppers, be jealous…

On another note, I got oodles of compliments on my wolf shirt. The guy at the bank described it as “the coolest shirt I’ve ever seen.” Thanks Teresa for sewing in lace patches to this (also) $1 vintage find. This shirt draws boys like bees to honey, further proof you don’t have to drop a load of cash to get a great top.

Actually, now that I think about it, today’s entire outfit today came from thrift stores. The wolf shirt and shorts ($2 total) I scored at Penny Pinchers in West Richland. The sunnies ($1) and jacket ($12) came from Goodwill. The boots ($25) and cuff ($5) I scored at the Melrose Trading Post. Heck, the only things not thrifted are my rings. Total outfit cost? $45 bones. Clothes > Full Tank of Gas

Do you have a style staple that is guaranteed compliments? $1 wolf shirts make me feel better about $198 Jeffrey Campbell heels :]

Fashion Friday: 4/29/2011

I know a lot of people expected to see my WRECKER featured in this Fashion Friday post, and I initially planned to wear them too, but after a prep-free morning decided to take it back to my Northwest roots in this vintage 70′s dress.

My mom bought this dress for me at an antique store in Richland for $30. I remember at the time trying it on (perfect fit) and thinking, “How perfect for a photo shoot.” It’s also entirely appropriate for The Gorge. When I asked Mom to bring this one-of-a-kind treasure to LA, she couldn’t believe I would actually wear it.

And why wouldn’t I? This is Los Angeles. Anything goes. I’ll admit, I felt a little insecure stepping out of my fashion comfort zone, and I garnered a few looks walking to The Body Shop blogger event, but this is who I am. If you don’t like my outfit, too bad. But guess what? The women at the event loooooved my dress. It might have been more memorable than my (dare I say it) WRECKER heel.

Moral of this story? Step out of your comfort zone. Try something different. Be proud of your appearance. Radiate good energy. People feel it. Now can someone show me the way to Fauxchella?
