Florals, Stripes, Pixels & Whales

4/30/2013

Hi! :D So, as you may or may not know, I'm a part of a clothing swap group and somehow I traded a couple floral headbands and some Mighty Wallet luggage tags for this amazing floral high-low skirt which I have worn so many times already. I'm really surprised at how much I love this pleated beauty.

It was a pretty mild day, so my partner and I went on a coffee run and snapped these photos on the way. In addition to the skirt, I wore one of my favorite cardigans from UK designer, Louche. It has navy stripes and pixelated "suspenders." I love every excuse to wear this cardigan! It rocks! You can see a better view of the pixel art and the suspender details here. I last wore it on a trip to Amsterdam. :P

I also wore my whale T-shirt from Austin,TX based indie clothing designer, Supermaggie. I had actually considered putting this up for grabs in my swap group. I love the print, but I just couldn't for the life of me figure out how to wear it. Well, that is, until today. :P I think it added a touch more whimsicality. This look inspired me, so I think I will hold on to the whale tee and try to be more creative with it. :D

Yeah, that's rain. Haha. I'm totally getting rained on. I didn't want to set up my tripod, since the camera lens would get wet. So, I asked my partner to take these for me just before we left to grab a late lunch. It was very kind of him to take these one-handed, as his other hand was holding an umbrella. :D

I wasn't sure if this outfit was worth photographing, to be honest. I decided to share this, because I'm wearing that kick ass 60's plaid shift dress from my previous post as a cardigan. It's an unconventional way of wearing dresses, but I do this a lot. So, I just wanted to show you guys this alternative style.
I think the dress added the right amount of color/interest to an otherwise super casual outfit.

The only new thing that I'm wearing is this glow-in-the-dark t-shirt from Threadless. :D It's too bad the sun wasn't in full blast, because the shirt totally would have been glowing later on that night. It's my first glow-in-the-dark shirt, actually. I love the comical pictures on the tee, especially the rocket. :D
