Inspiration: Odd Girls

 Any girl who is strange, weird or just a little bit 'off' according to the rest of the world. To me, they're just awesome.

In the Company of Moms

 I definitely get a lot of weird looks every time I step out into the streets wearing mom jeans. Luckily, I haven`t received any death threats, but it seems like not too many people appreciate the high-waisted, pancake-ass chic. We need to start a revolution for worldwide tolerance of mom jeans right now! Just look at all the amazing ladies who agree with me:

 Julia Dunstall!

 Paula Yates, mother of wee Peaches Geldof in the Minnie Mouse dress!

 Some angry-ass random model!

 Courtney Love!!! (With underboob slightly visible in that scandalous crop top)

WINONA RYDER!!

Thrill of It

 This post is alternately titled: "What I Wore To Go See Black Swan In Theatres for the Second Time." Classic granny floral button-down shirt. funky granny sequin cardigan and a more age-appropriate knit pencil skirt. Holy crap, looking at these pictures makes me realize how badly I need to clean my room.

In other exciting news, check out the amaaaazing Morrissey tie-dye shirt that Marlena hand screen-printed for me! She is the unequivocal master of do-it-yourself. I never thought tie-dye could be better than it already is, but then you slap a Morrissey graphic on it and everything becomes so much better!

90s Drew Barrymore is clearly my tie-dye soul sister alter ego.

 

Marlena also made me a fantastic lavender peter pan collar with its own Courtney Love hanger!! I would wear it but it looks too perfect just casually decorating my wall, y'know? Thanks so much, lady!

I also bought a cheapie Hole necklace off eBay to cement my Courtney groupie-dom... Yay!

Only One

Yesterday, I decided to wear my new riding pants from AA, which are basically two long tubes of stretchy elastic. I find this both frightening and wonderful at the same time. I also decided to wear a crop top with a crop sweater, because I thought it would be funny. I got the crop sweater in a package from the lovely Pomeline, thanks so much lady!

Lately I have decided to take pictures of funny anecdotal things that happen in my life and make me smile. I wonder if this post office won some sort of contest in order to claim this title.

Also, for those who wanted additional pictures of my room: this is what I wake up to every morning.

About A Son

About A Son is one of the most visually arresting films I've ever seen. Not in an over the top, colour saturated way, just in a beautiful way. My favourite sequence involves a sketch of a man and the clever use of food colouring. This movie will make you appreciate your life so much more.

Call Her

I recently bought this fuzzy black mohair sweater at a thrift store a few weeks ago. I was really debating with myself on whether I should buy it, but I ended up purchasing the damn thing not because I was in love with it, but because I think that every true 90s woman worth her salt should own a fuzzy mohair sweater. Whenever I think of mohair sweaters, I picture that famous picture of Courtney Love wearing a matted, baggy cardigan in the famous Kurt + Courtney interview in Sassy Magazine and Nirvana’s 1993 MTV Unplugged concert. Last week I watched another quintessential 90s movie, Empire Records and of course, a young Liv Tyler is decked out in a fuzzy sweater crop top for the entire movie! I think I made a good call on the fuzzy sweater purchase, if only for the sake of clever historical references.



P.S. Today's outfit. Why do I look so fucking twee?
