Welcome to the Faux Fur Show

I was INCREDIBLY bored yesterday and decided to peruse the local mall to see what’s happening in suburb fashion – and also to people-watch. SO! I’ve discovered that current fashion can be diluted to faux fur & sequins.   

It’s like the 70s, but with a better color scheme.

Also, I’ve finally figured out how to attach photos to blog posts!! It’s probably sad that, as a member of the millennial generation, it took me 3 4 5 months to figure it out.

Anywhoozles! Attached is a photo (one of many to come) of me, dressed in what I like to wear. After all, that’s what fashion blogs are all about, yes? NO!! Well, not entirely.

First, check out this dope Babbage Engine behind me. Also

Here’s your basic light pink, kinda stringy, faux fur jacket that I bought on super sale!! Very proud of it. Still in the I-Will-Wear-This-Pink-Furry-Thing-Forever-I’m-In-Love mood, despite my lovely father’s dubbing of it as my “alternative Chewbacca” coat.

Paired with a black tank top (1/2 crop top, 1/2 not) that used to belong to my grandma and is technically a sweater vest, waaaay comfy sweatpant-legging things with a heather stripe, and black t-strap heels I got in France a couple summers ago.

NUGGET –  Statement pieces, like my pink alternative Chewbacca jacket, are fabulous and just fun to wear. I think they’re best showcased on a day-to-day basis when worn with a plain outfit which highlights the piece.

Just to kick it off (what is “it”? I don’t know!), I’ve always thought that fashion needs more funny in it – so here’s one of me goofing off (i.e. my natural state). I hope y’all are having a fantastic Monday, and that the rest of your weeks are increasingly brilliant! Coincidentally, this photo highlights the pantish-pant’s stripe along the side which the previous photo forewent.

Mwahahaha! Killing two birds with a terrifying face & difficult posture! Toodles!

Loading… (Cyber Monday)

Sorry I’ve been late – by late, I mean having not posted in ~3 months – I have work to do! College isn’t all shits and gigs. For those of you who don’t know that phrase: no, unfortunately “shits and gigs” does NOT mean a day full of satisfying poops and rock concerts. It actually means for shits (i.e. “nothing”s) and giggles. Basically, doing something for the sake of nothing.

I’d much rather have the golden digestion system.

WELL. It’s Cyber Monday, the extension of the Black Friday sales to online-only shops like Nasty Gal (well maybe not, given that their first shop just opened up on Melrose) and Net-a-Porter. I hope y’all have been scouring the internet like I have, waiting for this day so that you can buy that pink faux fur coat that you’ve been lusting after for ~3 months. Good thing college and coats cross over!

A little history: Cyber Monday sales used to be solely limited to the Monday after Black Friday. Despite this “rule”, stores are now milking consumers as much as they can by giving online consumers smaller sales (think 10% off) starting on Black Friday, and then continuing that smaller sale until Monday comes. Not only does this surpass the idea of having a specific day for online deals, but it can trick consumers into buying more sooner (appealing to the American “I want what I want when I want it” consumer culture) – thereby having them potentially miss out the bigger sales that come out on Cyber Monday!

AAAAHHHHHHHHHH! Talk about 1) marketing GENIUS and 2) TOTAL UGH-ness. BUT BUT BUT if you’re willing to wait a couple more days for your items of purchase, then definitely go for the bigger sales on Monday. Don’t be fooled by the promise of a mere 10% off. Go for the 50%.

To help y’all out, I thought I’d send you to some of my current favorite online stores. Some are stereotypical of the 18-24 millennial group that I currently am in: i.e. Urban Outfitters, Nasty Gal. However, I’m throwing in some others which I adore. Remember, go for quality above quantity. You’ll get more bang for your buck and lord – I sound like my mother. Well, I guess that’s age. Kind of. Anywhoozles, I like these and hopefully you’ll like these and everything will be great.

Urban Outfitters, Nasty Gal, Net-A-Porter, Anthropologie, Rad, Zara

OH I ALMOST FORGOT POOP! Coupons Coupons Coupons! This is a brilliant site which will give you the online deals of anything you could ever think of (or at least anything you can type into the Search bar).

I hope you make the most of this glorious shopping day by buying marked off clothing (if it’s still at a reasonable price) while eating soup, wearing nothing but undies and socks, and being in bed. All day. Maybe not all day, but for a good part of it.

Toodles!
