Lazy Sunday

I wore this yesterday to go home to Long Island. For the Long Island heads I didn't go to Hofstra I actually got this hoody at a thrift store I used to volunteer at. Enjoy the video at the bottom, it's one of my favorite SNL shorts.

Love/Hate

I usually don't go crazy with patterns and color simultaneously but I was feeling experimental yesterday morning as I got dressed for school. I'm not sure how I fell about this outfit, I like it when I left the house, felt foolish in it sitting in class, hated it when I took a look in the mirror when I got home then liked it again today.

Wish List

Like everyone else I've been in love with the Acne wedges but can't afford them in this life or probably the next. Perhaps I could but I kind of like not starving. Anyway, I'm pretty certain I'll get Jeffrey Campbell's affordable alternative. They're not as magical as the ones from Acne but they look pretty damn good.

Giraffes

I really adore this knit skirt from H&M. It's one of those items that can be dressed up or down.

So Gray

I wore this outfit Saturday night to sell books at KGB bar for the last winner of the 3-Day Novel Contest, Jason Rapczynski's debut novel The Videographer. It was the most relaxed event I've worked; the people were friendly and laid back, plus the reading was enjoyable. Sorry for the mean face lol, I'm always exhausted when I come back from selling.

Super Casual

On Fridays I have class at 8:30am and I don't function well early in the morning, so I usually keep it really simple and extra casual. I brought it back to high school with a backpack today, I say that because that's the last time I rocked one on the regular. I got this Polo backpack a few years ago from my brother Jerry and bring it out occasionally. Happy Friday :-D

I Heart Black

I love gray, white, black and navy and I'm not ashamed of it. I used to try to fight it but I like what I like. I wore this yesterday to do the usual: school, errands, whatever. I don't know why I look so sad in that one picture lol.

Faux Pas, Shmo Pa

So we all have heard denim + denim = fashion faux pas but I've always seen the beauty in it. I finally decided to give it a try because one of my favorite bloggers Ivy from Positive Tension did it so well. I think the key is mixing shades; I think playing around with different hues makes it more interesting.

Tee & Leggings 2 Ways

I went to school with the first look and to my internship with the second. If I can slightly change an outfit instead of putting on something entirely new, that's what I do. I like the thought of creating a different look with the same clothes.

On My Own

Yesterday I went to KGB Bar in the East Village to sell books for the first time on my own. I was uber nervous but it was a cool crowd and I got to hear some young talent read their stuff before the headliner, Rivka Galchen, read from her acclaimed short story "The Region of Unlikeness". I was selling her novel Atmospheric Disturbances.

Regarding my outfit pictures I had to get creative with the bathroom mirror in some because I had no one to take them for me :( By the way in a couple of the pictures I have the messenger bag I'm carrying in my previous post, that's the strap that you're seeing.
