The Life Aquatic

Oh, hey bros! :D It was a nice and sunny day (for once!), so my partner and I decided to run some errands and then go to the park for a leisurely walk. But first I needed to go down to the post office to pick up a rad denim jacket from one of my sponsors (you'll see it later in the week, it's wicked!).

There was a queue at the post office, so I found myself getting stared at by some little old lady and a bunch of college girls. My partner noticed this, too and I just turned to him and whispered: "My baggy pants and wife beater are in the wash otherwise I would have worn those, so..." Haha. Apparently, I looked too nice to be in the post office. Whatevs. After that we did a little shopping and then went for a walk at the park where I got stared at by a bunch more people. I should probably get used to this. Heh.

My outfit is primarily remixed. I last wore the navy jacket here and the high waisted plaid skirt here. The collar underneath my shirt is from my sleeveless TIL Darling bird print blouse. You can see better views of that blouse here. I felt like the shirt needed just a little something to help maintain the overall nerdy, quirky, but sweet look that I was going for. Also, I liked the varying shades of blue in the outfit.

Picture

I've worn these brown buckled zipper boots (try saying that three times fast o_O O_o)
so many times since I first got them in early December of last year. They're really comfortable and the sturdy heel gives me a little extra height for maxi dresses and skirts. I quickly became obsessed and bought two more pairs in black and dark brown. I wear the black version almost every week. I can't help it. Haha.

Picture

The t-shirt weather we were having gave me a pretty good excuse to wear my brand new Threadless octopus tee. *^_^* There's so much to love about this shirt. It's a bright sky blue which is a really fun Summer color to play around with style wise; it has an adorable octopus on it; and the octopus has a hat on. It's wearing a hat! Come on, bro! :DDD And of course his name has to be Steve Zissou. <3

Have a wonderful weekend! <3

I told you I'd be back :) and here I am and it's a pleasure to read your stories and see your lovely outfits! Looking forward to seeing the wicked jacket - I love jackets, especially wicked ones :) Well, I know what you mean. I don't leave my house in baggy jeans, maybe because I look awful wearing them (fatter :) and well, I do understand what you mean by staring. You know what? They were admiring your style, nothing else! I love the skirt, the boots, the satchel! That is the way I like to dress, inspiring! You look very beautiful - as usual! Hope you are fine and that you have a great weekend - stylish I know it'll be! denisesplanet com

Yaaaaay *^_^* <3 Yeah, man. I get stared at like woah every where I go. I feel so sorry for my partner, sometimes, but he doesn't seem to care. He actually gets a kick out of it. That's why I like having him with me whenever I take my photos, because he doesn't give a sh*t about having people around and he just makes me laugh. I guess I need to lighten up and not feel so weird when people look at me (for uncomfortably long periods of time heh).

Hahaha yeah... You got me there. ;D I mean I guess a tank, shorts and flip flops is pretty dressed up for the post office, so it doesn't really take much to go above and beyond people's expectations. Heh.

Your post office story made me laugh, sometimes I think people don't even realize theyre staring (which is actually probably worse), but hey, you got their attention! Great outfit!

Yeah, I know the absent-minded starers are out there, too. Haha. But dude! One day, my partner and I went out for brunch and ended up sitting down in between some old lady and her family (the old lady actually shook her head in disapproval as I sat down haha) and this young kinda hipster couple. My partner told me later on that the girl part of the hipster duo actually turned her head, rested it in her hands and stared at me the entire time I ate. She kept talking to her boyfriend, but never looked at him. She only looked at me while she spoke. I could hardly believe it. I hope I didn't drop any food from my fork while I was eating. O_o Sometimes that happens and it's embarrassing, but even more so knowing that I had a captive audience. Haha. Talk about deliberate staring. I think I prefer the zoned out stares....

They were definitely staring because you look fantastic! Everything about this outfit is perfect. I love the tee (Team Zissou!), and the skirt is gorgeous. And the blues and oranges are great together. <3

Weirdos, staring!! Like, who does that?! Lol

Seriously though , that's one seriously cool graphic tee. It's so much fun paired with the skirt, too. Also, those boots would totally be on repeat for me, so it's all good.

Oh wow, an octopus with a beanie. Genius!!
But I will admit, the shoes are winning it for me... Followed closely by the skirt (I am totally enamoured by midi skirts at the moment!).

You have such a unique style it's really fun! I really like that you thrift clothes - it's a bit of a past time of mine too. I actually wrote a post about these gorgeous green silk pants i thrifted (http://www.bloglovin.com/frame?post=2829488053&group=0&frame_type=b&blog=12288563&frame=1&click=0&user=0). Sorry for the plug, but you might like it?
Anyway I will make sure to check out some of your other posts!
