Candienne Tuxedos

This is my favorite dress. It always ends up being worn to the most important events in my life ( not on purpose, but it always seems right), and I realized that it has traveled quite extensively since I bought it.  It has been to: Canada Italy New York City Worn during the last run of Pippin worn at a Julian Casablancas Concert worn to a Chiddy Bang, Avicci, and B.O.B concert (Juice jam) worn to my last day of high school worn to my introduction meeting to FYP It’s probably bad to be attached to something so fickle as a dress, but whenever I wear it I feel like a perfect representation of what I would like to be seen as.  Also I’ve been told twice that it makes me look like Princess Lea.

It has been to:

  • Canada

It’s probably bad to be attached to something so fickle as a dress, but whenever I wear it I feel like a perfect representation of what I would like to be seen as. 

Also I’ve been told twice that it makes me look like Princess Lea. 

aloysius12 asked: Tips for getting out of a fashion rut. GO!

  • Refuse to wear the same thing (outfits) for at least a month, one you graduate- move on to forever.
  • Add more accessories- hats, gloves, scarves, jewelry, etc. ( silk scarves are my savior)
  • Wear that thing you’ve always wanted to wear but were to scared.
  • LIPSTICK- the right color makes any girl look chic.
  • pay close attention to colors. (mix colors you didn’t think you could. try to either do all one color- like all neutral, or try to keep in the same color shades like all pastels. 
  • dress up! Being the best dressed person in the room isn’t a bad thing.
  • Also tip for winter weather- double or triple up on tights…it’s pretty much the same warmth as jeans.

So I made a polvyvore account about four years ago and promptly forgot about it. I was bored and someone I follow on twitter was posting about it so I decided to give it another try. Polyvore is a good way to make collages/ inspiration boards without the hassle of cutting out everything and making a complete mess. I am sharing my inspiration board for back to college. I will probably put a lot of my sets on this blog. 

Okay. So this is a ridiculously touristy photo my mother took of me in NYC saturday, but can we agree to ignore that and focus on the amazing LV window display? Also note that my main accessory these days has been diet coca cola.

I wore my denim(ish) dress as a jumper over my sheer neck bow blouse. Winter solutions! 

My Chicest accessory is this bitch. Also those shoes are mine. A girl needs to work out, you know?

I look like a boy today

Bun, black skinny pants, baseball t-shirt, maroon zip-up sweatshirt, and rolled down grungy boots. At least I don’t look sloppy. 

Life Update

I just finished one of my skirts for FAS 120, and It came out pretty well except for certain bits like the serging. I explored downtown Syracuse with Lung today and we went to a vintage store and a great record store. I bought a Rolling Stone Magazine at the record store and a nautical dress at the vintage store. It looks like something my grandmother would have worn, which I love. 

I’m contemplating cutting my hair super short. I probably won’t, but I want to. 

INSPIRATION I watched breakfast at tiffany’s last night. I am as inspired by George Peppard’s outfits as I am with Audrey’s. Let’s see if I can integrate both in an outfit.
