78 - Pattern mixing is for wussies; pattern clashing is where it's at.

Skirt - Vintage from Thrift Store, Shirt - Alternative Apparel, Boots - Vintage from eBay, Purse - Vintage from Rose Bowl Flea Market, Jewelry - Konstantino + DIY + Flea Market + Vintage + Costume Shop, Sunglasses - from eBay

If the last picture hurts your eyes, you are on the wrong blog, my friend. I'd like to think that this is kind of what my blog is about, being thoroughly silly about aesthetics and generally having a good time with it all...but maybe as if all of that were happening during an era where Janeane Garofalo reigned supreme.

I got these sunglasses off of eBay after falling in love with how great they look on Christine of Christeric, and the listing swore up and down that these were oversized. Naturally, however, oversized sunglasses on my bonkers oversized head just end up looking plainly proportioned, perhaps even a little small, but I am definitely not going to buy another pair. Every time we see pictures of me in these, we will just pretend that they suit my face a touch better than they do.

I don't have much to report right now; my head is swirling for the chaos that is my day job. I will be in New York from next Thursday through Tuesday styling and directing the photoshoot for Konstantino's fall line (which is tres beautiful, if I do say so myself), then in Las Vegas from that Tuesday through the following Tuesday for a trade show, so posts may be sporadic over the next two weeks, but please bear with me!

    Haha I love the title so much. I wish I had the guts to do that. You make it work so well! By the way, that lipstick is the perfect color.

    I think the sunglasses suit you just fine! I've bought pairs exactly like those off of Ebay that completely overtook my face. Those and aviators; we'll never get along. :(

    Woah, that sounds so exciting! I hope you like NY. I'v never been, but being in Mass, it's not too terribly far away. My finacée and I hope to go together sometime. I hope you post Konstantino pictures from that event sometime; I'm eager to see how you'll style and direct it!

    Oh, I just thrifted a pretty similar skirt, but it's red. I am in love with you for pairing that skirt with that bag. It's perfectly odd in the most awesome way. And you know I mean "odd" as a great thing!
