UNIF Relics Hat
UNIF Jumbo Plaid Sweater
Thrifted DIY Denim
UNIF Hellbounds
Sometimes you just have to cater to your cravings. My craving today just happened to be UNIF. I can promise you I did not intend on wearing 75% UNIF in my outfit, however I couldn't help myself when I came up with this seamless combination!
I got the "Jumbo Plaid Sweater" back when I worked at Payless over the summer, and it instantly became my favorite sweater for this season. It wasn't only the color scheme that drew me in, but the oversized fit that made it optional to wear the sweater as a dress and that just really suited my feels. I know you all have those outfits where you put it together with pieces you've owned for what feels like decades and then you're like "Wait??? Why now did I just discover this??" Kind of like how I felt with OITNB honestly. Today was actually my first time wearing the sweater as NOT a dress, and it's quite refreshing to see the sweater being worn as... a sweater! Not going to lie I totally got inspiration for these DIY jeans from the UNIF Twerk jeans but no matter how much money I have in my bank account, I still can't buy them because they don't come in my size (sad face). But, it all works out because I saved probably $80 making them myself! I haven't worn my Hellhounds in a quick minute so I grabbed them and ran out the door to go to the parking structure. Funny thing is, I bought these shoes my junior year of high school and they were my first pair of heels. Ever. I basically skipped the whole tripping and falling in heels phase because I'd be damned if I scuffed my badass Hellbounds the first week wearing them.
I hope you guys like the new shooting setting. I feel like a trendy LA blogger when I take outfit pictures on top of the parking garage. The pictures always frustrate my photographer (AKA sister) because she can never factor the sunset into the pictures. Though this parking garage is practically always empty, these past few days some high school kids have been hanging out up there. Now I know, who cares? Well I do! Though I am out of high school and have that college seniority over these kids (jk I'm still a kid myself), I still suffer from anxiety of them seeing my in these less than average outfits. I feel judged and made fun of, even though they probably have no interest in me or my quirky outfit. Sometimes I just feel like a stranger in my own city, which is probably why I resent where I live so much. Though the cat calling in SF is unbelievably prevalent in daily life, I still felt way more accepted and at home there, partially because I saw way more people rocking 6 inch heels and purple lipstick. I can't believe how much my life has changed since starting this blog seriously, and for the better I might add. I've lost 20 pounds, and kept it off, as well as gotten featured on Lookbook's Instagram. It's such a great feeling to get up every day and have a goal! If you have made it this far into reading the post, I just wanted to say that you. Even if you think I'm some outlandish dreamer stuck in the suburbs of Sacramento, I appreciate you taking time to read what I have to say. I could go on and on about how I feel, but I think I'll call it a night.
Stay well dressed everyone!
