Funny Face

 Yowza. There's just something about Spring that inspires me to let my freak flag fly. It might have something to do with being able to wear my granny floral shoes without having to worry about trudging through ankle deep snow! Even though I'm just bumming around writing take-home exams today, I felt the unexplainable urge to wear flounces and florals, so I pulled out my Rodarte for Target cardigan and paired it with my Comme des Garcons shirt to successfully transform from my pyjama-clad self to my fabulous self! The skirt and tights are American Apparel and the granny tapestry shoes are awesome. I mean, thrifted.

Life is good, yeah.

The Model

As subtle as they are, I based today's outfit around the frill ankle socks I am wearing on my feet. But I didn't want to look like I got lost in Candyland (aka Katy Perry's awful video for California Gurls, pardon the repulsive intentional misspelling) so I wore it with my goth jams sequin ribcage dress. Rodarte for Target has got me covered in the 'weird' department, I can clarify that.

I've been obsessively listening to Big Black for the past little while. Steve Albini has done the sound engineering for some of my favourite bands ever (Pixies, Nirvana, PJ Harvey) so its kind of shocking that I hadn't really heard his music before. I like my music to have the intensity of a noise apocalypse and Big Black's drum-machine hardcore sound certainly delivers. Plus, there is no better album title on Earth than 'Songs About Fucking'.

Sleeping in your bed.

The legendary Rodarte for Target ribcage sequin dress strikes again! I love this piece, but I rarely wear it because its a little too shiny for day time, and a little too weird for night time. Plus, the last time I wore it somebody asked me if I was wearing a costume. Seriously.

I also have a new artistic obsession: Alex Gross. His paintings are really powerful and twisted and beautiful in a way that speaks to the anti-materialist in me. It's Buy Nothing Day tomorrow, so here is some food for thought.

Also, I'm lucky to be participating in Teen Vogue's new fashion blog project!! They are compiling outfit posts from a lot of groovy blogs and posting them all on the Fashion Click website. Give it a look!
