What up, StyleNation? Who’s having a spring to remember?
Recent crappy events at IPF North have encouraged me to appreciate life while I’ve got it, and I’ve been doing so in my garden. My gardening goal for this summer is to encourage as many bumblebees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and bunnies as possible to stop by for pollination, snacks, and/or general frolicking.
When on campus, I’m alone in my office for much of the day (sweet solace!), so I’ve been doing some significant dressing down. Case in point:
1. Should have tucked the shirt, but can’t make myself care
I can’t believe I don’t post these jeans more often. They’ve been a non-teaching-day staple for ages (or since 2008):
Blouse: Mexx (remixed); Necklace: gifted (remixed); Pin-stripe grey trouser jeans: Parasuco for Smart Set (2008, remixed); Shoes: Fugitive de Francesco Rossi (remixed)
And here, just because I have it, is a much less flattering angle that potentially gives a better view of the jean stripe:
Mug: ubiquitous in morning photos
2. Even though I’m broken up with Distressed Denim, I still have this skirt
I don’t know. Should we get rid of stone-washed or otherwise distressed denim so as not to contribute to the trend that results in factory/sweatshop-worker deaths? I’ve considered dyeing the skirt but suspect the wash variation would be reproduced in some way regardless. ‘Thoughts?
Necklace: gifted (remixed); Cotton jersey top: MaxStudio (remixed); Denim skirt: Bebe (remixed); Green leather belt: purchased with D-Med in England ages ago (remixed); Brown leather bootage: Rockport (super-old, remixed)
And here, because I’m the modelliest, is a slightly modified pose that does not, despite my best intentions, highlight the boots:
Mug: ubiquitous
