Halloweek

Here's hoping you all had a radical Halloween weekend, full of candy puke and silly costumes. For some reason, these heinous Levis thrifted mom jeans are really appealing to my sensibilities. I wear them with everything, going for the super grunge look with my new Graham + Spencer knit sweater. It looks like the sweater I knit, except no effort was put into it. Worn with thrifted granny shoes and an American Apparel twist scarf on my head.

It should come as no surprise that for Halloween I dressed up as the heroic movie character Terry, from Fubar (and Fubar II)!! I found everything in my closet, drew on fake sideburns and acted obnoxiously dumb all night. IT was the first time I have actually dared venture out of the house in sweatpants. All in the name of Halloween!

Nature is a language.

Crop tops are a contentious issue. On one hand, they connote good things like Cher in Clueless. On the other hand, there is this. I choose to take inspiration from neither and head straight to 'Terry' from the epic mockumentary FUBAR. Basically, I just bought a mens XL grey shirt from the thrift store and then stencilled on 'Fuckin' EH' using black fabric paint. Simple and straightforward, like my favourite rednecks from rural Alberta. Oh, and I added my monkey hat and Beetlejuice socks to the outfit for good measure.

Seriously, if you haven't seen this movie yet there is something wrong.

Baby Sister

I pulled out this batwing cape from Babooshka Boutique for the first time in a while. Admittedly, I kind of hated its bizarre proportions at first but the entire concept of crop tops is starting to grow on me. When crops tops first started to show up again (thanks to Alexander Wang, I believe?) they reminded me of those tacky awful shirts that Baby Spice used to wear - and they still do when the look is done wrong. Personally, I'd much rather take my crop top inspiration from Fubar, rather than fashion. Fuckin' eh!
