The Wanting Comes in Waves

It's hard to know what you want sometimes. The same goes with dressing yourself. However, today is not one of those day where everything just looks wrong on me. That is because my entire outfit was inspired by this awesome T-shirt I've recently purchased on Ebay. Nothing says "grunge" like a Nirvana shirt, especially one that looks as tacky and used-up like this one.

It looks somewhat like a burlap sack on me because it's 2XL. But I made it work by cutting off the sleeves and cropping it. Wouldn't hurt either if you put something over it to contain its baggy madness, like this:

This is gotta be one of my favorite outfits. Plus it was so easy to put everything together, as soon as I saw the shirt, the rest of the ensemble just kind of fell into place without any real effort. I wish looking awesome everyday was as easy as this.

Great Expectations

I've been lazy and lacking in creativity lately with my outfits. I think it is because my hair has reached that "awkward stage" where no matter what you do to it, it looks lifeless and stale. I know I've expressed my hair woes on numerous occasions in the past but this time it's really getting out of hand. The only thing that's getting me through the days is the possibility of a Louise Brooks' bob, in only a few months time. Meanwhile, I'll just have to be patient.

This picture is totally random, but I love Kurt and kittens so I guess it's on here for self-indulgence. Is it sad that I'm jealous of his head of dirty, greasy, grunger hair?

Do You Realize

This has been the most temperate mid-winter weather I've ever experienced here in Vancouver. I guess global warming was not a swindle after all, *sarcastic gasp*. I wonder if people see cruel irony behind this whole "artificial-winter" fiasco. I mean, just think about how much industrial heat they are generating by running commercial freezers since for snow storage and trucking snow from other mountains day after day in order to host the sporting events. I guess I am a little too hard on the Vancouver Olympics. After all, we are making lots of money from this right...right?!

That was the last of my rant about the Olympics, I'm sorry if I offended anyone who's a fan of the event. Here's some outfits for your viewing, you can regard them as tokens for an apology if you'd like.
This dress is totally grunge and comfortable! I still can't believe I'm wearing a dress without a jacket in the middle of February.

Disco Penguin

I'd like to introduce you to my new love -- my 80's looking black and white sweater with golden zig-zag across the chest. This sweater is ridiculously cool and comfortable and I've been completely in awe of its glory since the day I saw it.

I'm off school for the next two weeks because of the Olympics and it's becoming slightly irritating because I now have a higher chance of accidentally seeing or hearing about the stupid spectacle. I'm not unpatriotic, I just think the Vancouver Olympics is completely overrated and sensationalized. Plus I'm not going to look forward to paying it back for the rest of my life. Moreover, I'm really not pleased with the fact that hey decided to artificially create snow and transport them truck by truck up the mountains due to a lack of snow and mild weather. In all honesty, I just wish that it wasn't held here in Vancouver, where snow is scarce and cost of living is high.

black and white horse

Lately, I've been absolutely entranced by the songs of Beach House. Their newest album Teen Dream is a work of pure creative brilliance woven together with dream-like lyricism and melodies...sheer sonic hypnosis! Besides making mad awesome music I am also a big fan of the singer, Victoria Legrand, both of her style and her voice. She's so anti-fashion that she's achieved a new realm of aesthetic known as "nonchalant cool".

This is me failing to achieve that level of coolness, but at least I'm trying...as ironic as that sounds.
