In solidarity, I put on my brightest, most obnoxious blouse and...some pants? I know, I know, I don't believe it either. Desperate times indeed. I also couldn't help slipping on my new 70's platforms from pistenine on etsy, even if I know I'll have to change back into boots should I need to venture out anywhere further than my kitchen.
Oh god I love these! I feel like I've gone a bit shoe crazy lately, but I also feel like, after wearing essentially one pair of boots (and wearing them literally TO DEATH) all winter long, I'm owed a little variety. Also, they are doing a pretty good job of filling the void in my heart left by these pieces of wonder:
I thrifted these back in my magpie high school days, and had hung onto them through the years with my eye on some far off time when I might actually be approaching a state of radness/comfortableness with looking like a nut job to actually wear them in public. Now that such a time has finally come, they are nowhere to be found! I've scoured my room back home to no avail. It's actually borderline embarrassing how much their loss upsets me.
So sad! So silly. My life in a nutshell.

those jeans are amazing!!
Augh I'm jealous of your shoes!
Argh, I hate having size 12 feet. It sucks. You can never find decent shoes at thrift stores and foot fetishists send you perferted messages over facebook.
Lovely outfit...despite the recent spring weather, today was a difficult day for my weather :( Rainy and cold...same ol' same ol'. Your blouse is bright and cheery!

i've always wanted to ask if you just look hideous in pants or something and that's why you never wear them, but now i know you is bangin' in them!
anyway, i don't have time for fashion, i've got a freaking semi-stalker who just became my blog's biggest fan! you're a super-successful blogger, have you ever dealt with something like this?? i don't want him to ruin my blog for me! :(
wow.
wow.
WOW.
I really really REALLLY x100 like this! Not often do pants inspire me, but holy crap do I want to be sporting jeans like this. Exceptional, spring should be on it's way now!
OT but ahhh you know Kristina Marie! We were talking about the Pains of Being Pure of Heart and she mentionned how she met you last summer while interning the city, and I was all "oh, I love her blog!" but thats cool, small world

...nowhere near as glorious, and probably a bit too tiny, but such a loss requires even the most pathetic attempt at consolation! those shoes are amazing. you must find them!

Love this outfit!
That outfit is so lovely! I love the colors of your button-up.
dang! those jeans look amazing on you.
you look adorable, tie a neckerchief on and call it day ;)
Where did you get your jeans???
I too need to know where the jeans are from, they are amazing!
Thanks everybody! I think I just have an irrational fear of pants, because they leave me feeling so exposed! Also, I think the problem might be that the only pants I can stand to wear are skin tight jeans...not the most forgiving article of clothing. I feel swallowed up and dumpy in anything else with two legs.
Haha, anyways, these jeans are actually a pair that I bought second hand at Beacon's Closet and sewed up from boot-cut to super skinny. I have never ever found a pair of new jeans that were both tight enough and cheap enough for my liking, so I always end up taking them in myself. It's actually not all that hard. Maybe if I find a light wash pair, which I'm on the hunt for, I'll do a little tutorial!
Spring here decided to lie. It's really winter under the guise of spring, dressed up in gold, all sunshiny, bright, and cloudless and what not. Well, it's just one big tard of a lie, stinking and fetid.
It's beautiful and clear out, but the temp is 28F. Spring, you pansy! Winter, you f&cking liar.
Ditto on the jean front, lighter wash and all. PLLLEEEEAAAASE do a tutorial. You don't want to know the things I've done to thrifted jeans of the past.
Not even close, but here's the obligatory f21 knockoff of your lovely shoes.

Furthermore, I also support the pants tutorial.
Viva la pants!
