Retrograde

This is just a really simple outfit that I had put together for grocery shopping. :3 It's a mostly thrifted outfit with the exception of the purple/red polka dot socks and the black vintage style backpack.

I feel like this is basically an "off-day" outfit for me, but I still found people staring at me a lot at the store. >_< Is this too dressed up for grocery shopping? I dunno. Haha. People routinely confound me.

Picture

Anyway, to keep the outfit from being utterly soporific, I wore the jazzy striped turtleneck and added the subtle stereo pendant for a little quirkiness. :P I've had the turtleneck foreeeeever, by the way.
I think this is probably my second time wearing it, though. Also, it's the first time I've actually blogged about it. I need to wear it so much more, because it's rad. I feel so retro every time I put it on. Hehe. <3

I decided to go with the vintage-y backpack rather than a handbag, because it's always nice to have your hands free when you're shopping. That giant box of cat litter isn't going to put itself in that shopping cart! Heh. Also, I know that I run the risk of being "matchy-matchy" with the socks, but I really, really like them. For me, the red micro dots are a delicious subtlety, even if most people can't even see them. ;D

If this post isn't terribly exciting, I apologize. Haha. Despite popular belief, I am actually quite boring. ;)

That's perfectly acceptable grocery shopping attire. You look adorable and comfortable. People are silly. But, if they're going to stare at least they have something awesome to look at!

I think this is the perfect grocery shopping outfit--I love to dress up to go shopping and one old man even complimented me on it once (it was sort of sexist really because he told me how much he loved seeing a woman shopping in heels because he doesn't see that anymore . . . but whatever I'll take it ;-) ) Love the colors!
